Good  morning!  What  can  I  get  started  for  you  today?"  the  barista  asked  with  a  smile.  "I'd  like  a    coffee  with  soy  milk  and  a  shot  of  vanilla,  please,"  the  customer  replied,  checking  her  phone.  "Certainly,  that'll  be  £3.20.  And  would  you  like  any    or  cakes  with  that?"  "Oh,  why  not?  I'll  have  a  slice  of  the  carrot  cake,  please."  The  barista  nodded,  "One  large    with  soy  milk,  vanilla,  and  a  slice  of  carrot  cake.  Your  name?"  "It's  Sarah,"  she  said.  A  few  minutes  later,  "I  have  a  large    with  almond  milk  and  carrot  cake  for  Sarah!"  the  barista  called  out.

Correct answer: large

Explanation: On the recording you hear "I'd like a large coffee". It comes before "coffee" and names size.

Meaning: "large" means big or a bigger cup.

Wrong options:

  • lareg: Two letters are in the wrong order. The right spelling is "large". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • larger: "larger" has an extra "r" at the end. The speaker says "large".
Correct answer: pastries

Explanation: Listen again to "And would you like any pastries or". After "any" you need more than one, so add s.

Meaning: "pastries" means small baked sweet foods like rolls or tarts.

Wrong options:

  • pastrys: It has "y" where the word has "ie". The right spelling is "pastries". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • pastry: "pastry" is a close word, but it ends in "y". The speaker says "pastries", which ends in "ies".
Correct answer: coffee

Explanation: Here you hear "One large coffee with soy milk". It comes after "large", so you need a word for a thing.

Meaning: "coffee" means a hot drink made from roasted beans.

Wrong options:

  • cofee: It leaves out the "f". The right spelling is "coffee". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
Correct answer: latte

Explanation: The speaker says "I have a large latte with almond milk". It is the name of a milk coffee drink and ends in tte.

Meaning: "latte" means a coffee drink made with lots of milk.

Wrong options:

  • late: This word means not on time, not the drink name heard.
