Correct answer: installations

Explanation: Here you hear "art installations and workshops". It comes after "art", so you need a thing and do not forget the s at the end.

Meaning: "installations" means large pieces or set-ups shown for people to see.

Wrong options:

  • instalations: It leaves out the "l". Write "installations". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • installation: "installation" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "installations", so write the "s".
Correct answer: gallery

Explanation: The speaker says "outdoor gallery, showcasing pieces". It comes after "outdoor", so you need a place for showing art.

Meaning: "gallery" means a place where art is shown to the public.

Wrong options:

  • gallary: It has "a" where the word has "e". The right spelling is "gallery". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
Correct answer: painting

Explanation: You hear "live painting sessions". It follows "live", so the word ends in ing.

Meaning: "painting" means the action of making art with paint, often in front of people.

Wrong options:

  • paintting: It adds an extra "t". Check the letters: "painting". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
Correct answer: immersive

Explanation: Listen for "create an immersive experience". The word describes the experience, so it ends in ive.

Meaning: "immersive" means something that fully involves or surrounds you.

Wrong options:

  • immerisive: It adds an extra "i". Check the letters: "immersive". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • immersed: "immersed" is a close word, but it ends in "ed". The speaker says "immersive", which ends in "ive".
Correct answer: creativity

Explanation: On the recording you hear "celebrating creativity and artistic". It follows "celebrating", so you need a word for a thing, not a describing word.

Meaning: "creativity" means the ability to make new and original ideas or works.

Wrong options:

  • creativitiy: It adds an extra "i". Write "creativity". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • creative: "creative" is a close word, but it ends in "e". The speaker says "creativity", which ends in "ity".
