Correct answer: urban

Explanation: The speaker says "the heart of our urban area". It comes before "area", so you need a word for a place with many people.

Meaning: "urban" means relating to a city or town.

Wrong options:

  • rural: This is the opposite idea. The sentence means city area.
Correct answer: other

Explanation: You hear "engage with nature and each other". After "each" you need the matching small word.

Meaning: "other" means the other person or people together with you.

Wrong options:

  • others: "others" has an extra "s" at the end. The speaker says "other", with no "s".
Correct answer: harvesting

Explanation: Listen for "incorporate rainwater harvesting and". The word is an action and ends in ing.

Meaning: "harvesting" means collecting and saving rainwater for use.

Wrong options:

  • harvisting: It has "i" where the word has "e". The right spelling is "harvesting". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
Correct answer: connected

Explanation: On the recording you hear "a healthier, more connected community". You need a describing word that ends in ed.

Meaning: "connected" means linked or close to each other.

Wrong options:

  • conected: It leaves out the "n". Write "connected". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • connecting: "connecting" is a close word, but it ends in "ing". The speaker says "connected", which ends in "ed".
Correct answer: signage

Explanation: Listen again to "inclusion of educational signage will". It comes after "educational", so you need a word for signs.

Meaning: "signage" means signs and information boards for people.

Wrong options:

  • signange: It adds an extra "n". The right spelling is "signage". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • signs: "signs" is a close word, but it ends in "s". The speaker says "signage", which ends in "age".
