Meaning: "load" means put clothes into the machine.

Wrong options:

• loads: "loads" has an extra "s" at the end. The speaker says "load", with no "s".

Correct answer: great

Explanation: You hear "was a great day for". You need a describing word for how important the day was.

Meaning: "great" means very good or very important here.

Wrong options:

• grate: Two letters are in the wrong order. Write "great". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.

Correct answer: saving

Explanation: Listen for "had been saving money for". After 'been' the word ends in ing.

Meaning: "saving" means putting money aside little by little.

Wrong options:

• save: The sentence needs a word that ends in ing, not the plain word.

Correct answer: invited

Explanation: On the recording you hear "grandma was invited to see". The word ends in ed here.

Meaning: "invited" means asked to come and see.

Wrong options:

• invate: It has "a" where the word has "i" and it leaves out the "d". Check the letters: "invited". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
• invite: "invite" is missing the ending. The speaker says "invited", with "d" at the end.

Correct answer: excited

Explanation: Listen again to "grandma was even more excited". After 'more' you need a describing word that ends in ed.

Meaning: "excited" means very happy and eager to see it.

Wrong options:

• exciting: "exciting" is a close word, but it ends in "ing". The speaker says "excited", which ends in "ed".

Correct answer: electricity

Explanation: Here you hear "watch electricity do that". After 'watch' you need the thing that does the work.

Meaning: "electricity" means power that runs the machine.

Wrong options:

• electric: "electric" is missing the ending. The speaker says "electricity", with "ity" at the end.
