Good  evening,  everyone.  As  we  continue  to  enhance  our  community,  I'm  excited  to  share  updates  on  several  key  projects.  Our  new  library,  with  its  advanced  resources  and    access,  is  set  to  open  next  month.  We  have  also  prioritised  green  spaces,  added  more  parks  and  upgraded  existing  ones  for    use.  Furthermore,  our  commitment  to  sustainability  is  stronger  than  ever,  with  the  introduction  of  solar-powered    across  the  town.  Lastly,  we  are  boosting  local  businesses  through    and  workshops,  aiming  to  stimulate  economic  growth.

Correct answer: digital

Explanation: On the recording you hear "advanced resources and digital access". You need a describing word that ends in al.

Meaning: "digital" means using computers or electronic systems.

Wrong options:

  • digitial: It adds an extra "i". Check the letters: "digital". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • digitally: "digitally" has an extra "ly" at the end. The speaker says "digital".
Correct answer: recreational

Explanation: Listen again to "upgraded existing ones for recreational use". After 'for' you need a describing word, it ends in al.

Meaning: "recreational" means for fun or free-time activities.

Wrong options:

  • recereational: It adds an extra "e". Write "recreational". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • recreation: "recreation" is missing the ending. The speaker says "recreational", with "al" at the end.
Correct answer: streetlights

Explanation: Here you hear "introduction of solar-powered streetlights across". You need a thing word and more than one, so add s at the end.

Meaning: "streetlights" means lights along roads and paths.

Wrong options:

  • streetlight: "streetlight" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "streetlights", so write the "s".
Correct answer: grants

Explanation: The speaker says "through grants and workshops". After 'through' you need a thing word, more than one, so it ends in s.

Meaning: "grants" means money given to help local businesses.

Wrong options:

  • grantes: It adds an extra "e". Write "grants". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • grant: "grant" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "grants", so write the "s".
