Meaning: "foundation" means an organization that gives money for projects.

Wrong options:

• foundtion: It leaves out the "a". The right spelling is "foundation". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
• foundations: "foundations" has an extra "s" at the end. The speaker says "foundation", with no "s".

Correct answer: essential

Explanation: On the recording you hear "It is essential to think about". You need a describing word that shows importance.

Meaning: "essential" means very important or needed.

Wrong options:

• essencial: It has "c" where the word has "t". Write "essential". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.

Correct answer: planning

Explanation: Listen again to "the Foundation is now funding is family planning, so". After "family" the sentence needs an action word ending in ing.

Meaning: "planning" means deciding about timing and number of children.

Wrong options:

• planing: It leaves out the "n". The right spelling is "planning". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
• plans: "plans" is a close word, but it ends in "s". The speaker says "planning", which ends in "ning".

Correct answer: space

Explanation: Here you hear "she can make and she can space her children". After "she can" you need a short action word about timing births.

Meaning: "space" means to put time between births of children.

Wrong options:

• spase: It has "s" where the word has "c". Write "space". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
• place: This is a different action word and does not mean timing between births.

Correct answer: nutritional

Explanation: The speaker says "a good nutritional status when she's pregnant". You need a describing word before status that ends in al.

Meaning: "nutritional" means about food and the nutrients someone gets.

Wrong options:

• nutrition: "nutrition" is missing the ending. The speaker says "nutritional", with "al" at the end.
