Correct answer: craft

Explanation: Listen for "a craft market where". It comes after "a", so you need a word for a thing.

Meaning: "craft" means goods made by hand.

Wrong options:

  • crafts: "crafts" has an extra "s" at the end. The speaker says "craft", with no "s".
Correct answer: interactive

Explanation: On the recording you hear "variety of interactive activities". It comes before "activities", so you need a describing word.

Meaning: "interactive" means designed for people to take part.

Wrong options:

  • interractive: It adds an extra "r". Write "interactive". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • interesting: "Interesting" is different and does not mean people take part.
Correct answer: musical

Explanation: Listen again to "bands from different musical genres". It comes before "genres", so use a word about music type.

Meaning: "musical" means related to different kinds of music.

Wrong options:

  • musicale: It adds an extra "e". Check the letters: "musical". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • musically: "musically" has an extra "ly" at the end. The speaker says "musical".
Correct answer: fireworks

Explanation: Here you hear "a spectacular fireworks display". This is more than one item, so do not forget the s at the end.

Meaning: "fireworks" means explosive lights used to make a show in the sky.

Wrong options:

  • firewoks: It leaves out the "r". The right spelling is "fireworks". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • firework: "firework" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "fireworks", so write the "s".
