Planning  this  multicultural  festival  has  been  an  exhilarating  journey.  We've  curated  a  line  up  that  celebrates  the  diversity  of  our  community,  featuring  music,  food,  and  art  from  around  the  globe.  The  festival's  highlight  will  be  the    parade,  showcasing  vibrant  costumes  and    dances.  Food  enthusiasts  will  enjoy  the  street  market,  offering  authentic  dishes  from  various  cultures.  Additionally,  we've  organised  workshops  for  children  to  learn  about    customs  through  interactive  crafts.  Our  aim  is  to  foster  a  sense  of  unity  and  appreciation  for  cultural  diversity,  making  this  event  a    experience  for  attendees  of  all  ages.

Correct answer: cultural

Explanation: Here you hear "the cultural parade". The word comes after "the", so you need a word for a thing.

Meaning: "cultural" means about culture or traditions.

Wrong options:

  • cultral: It leaves out the "u". Write "cultural". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • culture: "culture" is a close word, but it ends in "e". The speaker says "cultural", which ends in "al".
Correct answer: traditional

Explanation: The speaker says "and traditional dances". The word here is a describing word that comes before "dances".

Meaning: "traditional" means from long-held customs or old ways.

Wrong options:

  • tradicional: It has "c" where the word has "t". The right spelling is "traditional". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • tradition: "tradition" is missing the ending. The speaker says "traditional", with "al" at the end.
Correct answer: different

Explanation: You hear "about different customs". The word comes before "customs", so it means more than one type.

Meaning: "different" means not the same, from various kinds.

Wrong options:

  • differrent: It adds an extra "r". Write "different". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
Correct answer: memorable

Explanation: Listen for "a memorable experience". The word describes the experience, so you need a describing word.

Meaning: "memorable" means worth remembering, not easily forgotten.

Wrong options:

  • memorible: It has "i" where the word has "a". Check the letters: "memorable". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • memorably: "memorably" is a close word, but it ends in "y". The speaker says "memorable", which ends in "e".
