Welcome  to  our  latest  venture  into  the  world  of  sustainable  fashion.  Our    began  with  a  simple  idea:  to  create  clothing  that's  not  only  stylish  but  also  kind  to  the  planet.  Each  piece  in  our  collection  is  crafted  from  eco-friendly  materials,  ensuring  minimal  environmental  impact.  We've  partnered  with  local  artisans  to  bring  traditional    techniques  into  modern  designs.  Our  goal  is  to  challenge  the  fast-fashion  industry  by  offering    alternatives  that  don't  compromise  on  quality  or  aesthetic.  With  your  support,  we  aim  to  transform  how  people  view  their  clothing  choices,  making  sustainability  the  new    in  fashion.

Correct answer: journey

Explanation: Listen again to "Our journey began". The word after "Our" names a process or plan.

Meaning: "journey" means a process or long plan to do something.

Wrong options:

  • journy: It leaves out the "e". The right spelling is "journey". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
Correct answer: weaving

Explanation: Here you hear "traditional weaving techniques". The sentence needs the craft word that fits there.

Meaning: "weaving" means the craft of making cloth by interlacing threads.

Wrong options:

  • weving: It leaves out the "a". Check the letters: "weaving". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • sewing: Sewing is a different making method, not the craft named here.
Correct answer: sustainable

Explanation: The speaker says "offering sustainable alternatives". You need a describing word that ends in able.

Meaning: "sustainable" means not harming the environment and able to continue over time.

Wrong options:

  • sustainble: It leaves out the "a". Check the letters: "sustainable". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • sustained: "sustained" is a close word, but it ends in "ed". The speaker says "sustainable", which ends in "able".
Correct answer: standard

Explanation: You hear "the new standard in". After "new" the sentence needs a word for a usual level.

Meaning: "standard" means the usual level or expectation people follow.

Wrong options:

  • standerd: It has "e" where the word has "a". The right spelling is "standard". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
