Correct answer: cooking

Explanation: The speaker says "a modern cooking contest". It comes after "modern", so you need a word for a thing.

Meaning: "cooking" means making food.

Wrong options:

  • cookng: It leaves out the "i". Check the letters: "cooking". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • cooker: "cooker" is a close word, but it ends in "er". The speaker says "cooking", which ends in "ing".
Correct answer: commemorative

Explanation: You hear "the unveiling of a commemorative mural". It describes the mural, and the word ends in ive.

Meaning: "commemorative" means made to remember something important.

Wrong options:

  • comemorative: It leaves out the "m". The right spelling is "commemorative". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • decorative: This means for decoration, not to remember something.
Correct answer: sustainable

Explanation: Listen for "workshops focused on sustainable crafts". You need a describing word that ends in able.

Meaning: "sustainable" means able to continue without harm to the environment.

Wrong options:

  • sustianable: Two letters are in the wrong order. Write "sustainable". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • suitable: This means fitting or appropriate, not about lasting without harm.
Correct answer: costume

Explanation: On the recording you hear "the costume parade". It comes before "parade", so you need a word for clothing or outfit.

Meaning: "costume" means special clothing worn for a festival or performance.

Wrong options:

  • costum: It leaves out the "e". The right spelling is "costume". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • custom: This is a different word meaning a usual practice, not clothing.
