Correct answer: lake

Explanation: Listen again to "a picturesque lake". The missing word is a word for a thing after "a".

Meaning: "lake" means a body of water in the park.

Wrong options:

  • lak: It leaves out the "e". Write "lake". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • lakes: "lakes" has an extra "s" at the end. The speaker says "lake", with no "s".
Correct answer: tours

Explanation: Here you hear "educational tours, playing a". You need more than one, do not forget the s at the end.

Meaning: "tours" means guided visits or trips for groups.

Wrong options:

  • turs: It leaves out the "o". Write "tours". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • tour: "tour" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "tours", so write the "s".
Correct answer: traditional

Explanation: The speaker says "wide paths and traditional benches". You need a describing word that ends in al.

Meaning: "traditional" means made in the usual, older style.

Wrong options:

  • traditonal: It leaves out the "i". Write "traditional". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • traditionally: "traditionally" has an extra "ly" at the end. The speaker says "traditional".
Correct answer: nature

Explanation: You hear "tranquil moments amidst nature". It comes after "amidst", so you need a word for a thing.

Meaning: "nature" means the plants, animals, and natural world there.

Wrong options:

  • nuture: It has "u" where the word has "a". Write "nature". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • natures: "natures" has an extra "s" at the end. The speaker says "nature", with no "s".
