AI explanationShows the answer. Tap to open.
Correct answer: accounts

Explanation: Listen again to "setting up email accounts". The word follows "email", so you need more than one, use s at the end.

Meaning: "accounts" means more than one online profile.

Wrong options:

  • acounts: It leaves out the "c". Write "accounts". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • account: "account" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "accounts", so write the "s".
Correct answer: shopping

Explanation: Here you hear "secure websites for online shopping". After "online" you need a word that ends in ing for buying.

Meaning: "shopping" means buying things on the internet.

Wrong options:

  • shoping: It leaves out the "p". The right spelling is "shopping". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • shop: "shop" is missing the ending. The speaker says "shopping", with "ping" at the end.
Correct answer: information

Explanation: The speaker says "protect your personal information". Following "personal" you need a word for a thing, ending in tion.

Meaning: "information" means facts about you.

Wrong options:

  • infromation: Two letters are in the wrong order. Check the letters: "information". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • informational: "informational" has an extra "al" at the end. The speaker says "information".
Correct answer: efficiently

Explanation: You hear "using smartphones efficiently". After "using smartphones" the sentence needs a word that tells how, so it ends in ly.

Meaning: "efficiently" means doing tasks quickly and well.

Wrong options:

  • eficiently: It leaves out the "f". Write "efficiently". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • efficient: "efficient" is missing the ending. The speaker says "efficiently", with "ly" at the end.
Correct answer: apps

Explanation: Listen for "focusing on apps that enhance". After "on" you need a word for more than one small program, so add s.

Meaning: "apps" means small programs on your phone.

Wrong options:

  • aps: It leaves out the "p". Write "apps". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • app: The sentence talks about more than one, so the final s is needed.
Correct answer: confident

Explanation: On the recording you hear "feel more confident in your". You hear "more" before it, so use a describing word.

Meaning: "confident" means sure of yourself online.

Wrong options:

  • confindent: It adds an extra "n". Check the letters: "confident". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • confidence: "confidence" is a close word, but it ends in "ce". The speaker says "confident", which ends in "t".
