Correct answer: journals

Explanation: Listen for "a wider range of journals and newspapers". It comes after "of", so you need a word for things and keep the s.

Meaning: "journals" means magazines for research or news.

Correct answer: learning

Explanation: On the recording you hear "interactive learning zone". The missing word ends in ing.

Meaning: "learning" means activities that help children gain knowledge.

Wrong options:

  • lernning: It leaves out the "a" and it adds an extra "n". Write "learning". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
Correct answer: historical

Explanation: Listen again to "introduced a historical exhibit showcasing". It comes after "a", so you need a describing word that ends in al.

Meaning: "historical" means about things from the past.

Wrong options:

  • historic: "historic" is missing the ending. The speaker says "historical", with "al" at the end.
Correct answer: research

Explanation: Here you hear "improve their research skills". It comes before "skills", so you need a word for finding information.

Meaning: "research" means looking for information or facts.

Wrong options:

  • reseach: It leaves out the "r". Check the letters: "research". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
Correct answer: genres

Explanation: The speaker says "authors and genres in a". The second word is more than one, so do not forget the s at the end.

Meaning: "genres" means types or categories of books.

Wrong options:

  • geners: Two letters are in the wrong order. Check the letters: "genres". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
