* Fill in the missing words into the blank fields
We're  excited  to  announce  the  development  of  a  new  public  park  in  the  heart  of  our  city,  designed  to  offer  a  green  oasis  for  relaxation  and  recreation.  The  park  will  feature  a  variety  of  landscapes,  including  a  serene    garden,  a  spacious  playground  for  children,  and  dedicated  areas  for    activities  like  yoga  and  tai  chi.  To  support  our  local  ecosystem,  we're  planting  native    species  that  require  minimal  irrigation.  Our  vision  extends  to  incorporating  sustainable  practices,  such  as  rainwater  harvesting  systems  to  irrigate  the  gardens.  Community    is  key,  and  we  invite  suggestions  for    events  or  programs.  Together,  we  can  create  a  space  that  not  only    our  city  but  also  promotes  a  healthy  lifestyle.

Correct answer: botanical

Explanation: The speaker says "a serene botanical garden". It comes before "garden", so you need a word that describes the garden.

Meaning: "botanical" means about plants and plant study.

Wrong options:

  • botannical: It adds an extra "n". The right spelling is "botanical". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • botanic: "botanic" is missing the ending. The speaker says "botanical", with "al" at the end.
Correct answer: fitness

Explanation: You hear "for fitness activities like". Choose a word that describes the activities.

Meaning: "fitness" means exercise and health training.

Wrong options:

  • fitnes: It leaves out the "s". The right spelling is "fitness". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
Correct answer: plant

Explanation: Listen for "native plant species that". It comes after "native", so you need a word for a living thing.

Meaning: "plant" means a living green organism used in the garden.

Wrong options:

  • plamt: It has "m" where the word has "n". Check the letters: "plant". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • plants: "plants" has an extra "s" at the end. The speaker says "plant", with no "s".
Correct answer: involvement

Explanation: On the recording you hear "Community involvement is key". It follows "Community", so you need a word about taking part that ends in ment.

Meaning: "involvement" means taking part or joining in.

Wrong options:

  • involvment: It leaves out the "e". Check the letters: "involvement". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
Correct answer: cultural

Explanation: Listen again to "suggestions for cultural events". It comes before "events", so you need a word that describes the events.

Meaning: "cultural" means related to art, tradition, and community life.

Wrong options:

  • cultuaral: It adds an extra "a". The right spelling is "cultural". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
Correct answer: beautifies

Explanation: Here you hear "not only beautifies our city". It follows "not only", so you need an action word that ends in s.

Meaning: "beautifies" means makes the city more beautiful.

Wrong options:

  • beautifys: It has "y" where the word has "ie". Write "beautifies". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • beautify: "beautify" is a close word, but it ends in "y". The speaker says "beautifies", which ends in "ies".
