I'm  here  today  to  talk  about  an  exciting  development  for  our  company—the  upcoming  relocation  of  our  office.  The  new  space,  situated  in  the  bustling    district,  offers  modern  amenities  and  a  layout  that  encourages  collaboration  and  innovation.  Our  move  is  scheduled  for  next  month,  aiming  to  minimise  disruption  to  our  work.  I  understand  change  can  be  daunting,  but  this  move  represents  a  significant  step  towards  a  more    and    working  .  To  assist  with  the  transition,  we  will  be  providing  detailed  move  guides  and  organising  sessions  to  answer  any  queries  you  may  have.

Correct answer: business

Explanation: You hear "the bustling business district". It comes after "bustling", so you need the single word for the area with companies.

Meaning: "business" means the area with offices and companies.

Wrong options:

  • busines: It leaves out the "s". Check the letters: "business". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • businesses: "businesses" has an extra "es" at the end. The speaker says "business", with no "es".
Correct answer: dynamic

Explanation: Listen for "a more dynamic and". You need a describing word that fits before "and".

Meaning: "dynamic" means lively and full of activity.

Wrong options:

  • dynamc: It leaves out the "i". Write "dynamic". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • dynamically: "dynamically" has an extra "ally" at the end. The speaker says "dynamic".
Correct answer: efficient

Explanation: On the recording you hear "and efficient working". You need a describing word, it ends in ent.

Meaning: "efficient" means working well with little waste.

Wrong options:

  • eficient: It leaves out the "f". Check the letters: "efficient". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • effective: This is a different describing word with a different meaning.
Correct answer: environment

Explanation: Listen again to "working environment". It comes after "working", so you need a word for the place or space.

Meaning: "environment" means the place or surroundings where work happens.

Wrong options:

  • enviroment: It leaves out the "n". Write "environment". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • environmental: "environmental" has an extra "al" at the end. The speaker says "environment".
