As  we  gear  up  for  this  year's  cultural  extravaganza,  our  team  has  been  hard  at  work  to  ensure  an  unforgettable  experience  for  all.  Our  festival  will  showcase  a  wide  array  of  activities,  starting  with  an    parade  to  kick  things  off.  Attendees  can  look  forward  to  a  variety  of  workshops,  including  traditional  dance,  pottery  making,  and  even  an    cooking  class.  We're  particularly  excited  about  our  evening  concerts,  featuring  artists  who  blend  modern  and  traditional    styles.  A  dedicated  'Kids  Zone'  will  offer  creative  activities,  ensuring  fun  for  our  younger  visitors.  Additionally,  we're  launching  a  sustainability  campaign,  encouraging  participants  to  use    containers  and  utensils.  Our  goal  is  to  not  only  celebrate  our  rich  cultural  heritage  but  also  to  foster  a  sense  of    within  our  community.  To  conclude  the  festival,  a  breath-taking    show  will  light  up  the  night  sky,  symbolising  unity  and  hope.

AI explanationShows the answer. Tap to open.
Correct answer: opening

Explanation: The speaker says "with an opening parade". It comes after "an", so you need a word for a thing.

Meaning: "opening" means at the start.

Wrong options:

  • openning: It adds an extra "n". The right spelling is "opening". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • open: "open" is missing the ending. The speaker says "opening", with "ing" at the end.
Correct answer: artisanal

Explanation: You hear "an artisanal cooking class". It needs a describing word, so the word ends in al.

Meaning: "artisanal" means made in a traditional, skillful way.

Wrong options:

  • artisinal: It has "i" where the word has "a". The right spelling is "artisanal". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • artisan: "artisan" is missing the ending. The speaker says "artisanal", with "al" at the end.
Correct answer: music

Explanation: Listen for "modern and traditional music styles". It comes before "styles", so you need a word for songs or sound.

Meaning: "music" means songs or musical sound.

Wrong options:

  • muisc: Two letters are in the wrong order. Check the letters: "music". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • musical: "musical" has an extra "al" at the end. The speaker says "music".
Correct answer: reusable

Explanation: On the recording you hear "use reusable containers and utensils". It is a describing word that tells they can be used again, so it ends in able.

Meaning: "reusable" means able to be used again.

Wrong options:

  • reuseable: It adds an extra "e". The right spelling is "reusable". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • reused: "reused" is a close word, but it ends in "ed". The speaker says "reusable", which ends in "able".
Correct answer: community

Explanation: Listen again to "sense of community within". It comes after "of", so you need a word for a group or shared feeling.

Meaning: "community" means a group of people who belong together.

Wrong options:

  • comunity: It leaves out the "m". Write "community". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • communion: "communion" is a close word, but it ends in "on". The speaker says "community", which ends in "ty".
Correct answer: fireworks

Explanation: Here you hear "a breath-taking fireworks show". It comes before "show", so you need more than one and the word ends in s.

Meaning: "fireworks" means bright lights and explosions in the sky.

Wrong options:

  • firewoks: It leaves out the "r". The right spelling is "fireworks". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • firework: "firework" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "fireworks", so write the "s".
