Our  team  is  excited  to  announce  the  development  of  Central  Park,  a  new  green  space  designed  to  enhance  urban  living.  This  park  will  feature  a  variety  of    areas,  including  a  community  garden  and  a  dog  park.  A  key  aspect  of  our  design  is  the  incorporation  of  -friendly  pathways,  promoting  cycling  and  walking  over  vehicular  travel.  We're  also  implementing  a  rainwater    system  to  irrigate  the  park  sustainably.  Furthermore,  the  park's  layout  encourages  social  interaction  with  its  open-air  amphitheatre  for    performances.  Finally,  our  commitment  to  biodiversity  can  be  seen  in  our    habitats  for  local  wildlife.

Correct answer: recreational

Explanation: The speaker says "variety of recreational areas". The sentence needs a word for activity places, so watch the ending in al.

Meaning: "recreational" means for activities and fun in the park.

Wrong options:

  • recreation: "recreation" is missing the ending. The speaker says "recreational", with "al" at the end.
Correct answer: pedestrian

Explanation: You hear "incorporation of pedestrian -friendly". The word comes before -friendly, so you need a word for people who walk.

Meaning: "pedestrian" means for people walking rather than driving.

Wrong options:

  • padestrian: It has "a" where the word has "e". Check the letters: "pedestrian". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • pedestrians: "pedestrians" has an extra "s" at the end. The speaker says "pedestrian", with no "s".
Correct answer: harvesting

Explanation: Listen for "a rainwater harvesting system". The sentence needs an action word that ends in ing.

Meaning: "harvesting" means collecting and saving water for later use.

Wrong options:

  • harvestting: It adds an extra "t". Check the letters: "harvesting". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • harvested: "harvested" is a close word, but it ends in "ed". The speaker says "harvesting", which ends in "ing".
Correct answer: live

Explanation: On the recording you hear "for live performances". The missing word is a short word that means happening now or in person.

Meaning: "live" means happening in front of people at that moment.

Wrong options:

  • lively: "lively" has an extra "ly" at the end. The speaker says "live".
Correct answer: dedicated

Explanation: Listen again to "our dedicated habitats for". The word is a describing word that shows purpose, so do not forget the ed ending.

Meaning: "dedicated" means set aside for a special purpose.

Wrong options:

  • dedictated: It adds an extra "t". Write "dedicated". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • dedicate: "dedicate" is missing the ending. The speaker says "dedicated", with "d" at the end.
