Hello,  wanderlust  friends!  Today,  I'm  sharing  some  essential  tips  for  enjoying  a  fabulous  vacation  without  breaking  the  .  First  off,  planning  ahead  can  save  you  a  lot  on  flights  and  .  Consider  travelling  during  the  off-peak  season  to  enjoy  lower  prices  and  fewer  .  Also,  exploring  local  markets  and  street  food  can  offer  not  only  a  taste  of  the  culture  but  also  meals  at  a  fraction  of  the  cost.  Don't  forget  about  free  ;  many  cities  offer  museums,  parks,  and    sites  at  no  cost  .  Lastly,  using  public    instead  of  taxis  can  significantly  cut  down  your  expenses.

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

Explanation: You hear "without breaking the bank". It comes after "breaking the", so you need a word for a thing.

Meaning: "bank" means your money or savings here.

Correct answer: accommodations

Explanation: Listen for "on flights and accommodations". It comes after "and", so you need more than one place to stay and ends in s.

Meaning: "accommodations" means places to stay like hotels or rooms.

Wrong options:

  • acommodations: It leaves out the "c". The right spelling is "accommodations". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
Correct answer: crowds

Explanation: On the recording you hear "to enjoy lower prices and fewer crowds". "Fewer" comes before it, so you need more than one and it ends in s.

Meaning: "crowds" means many people in one place.

Wrong options:

  • crouds: It has "u" where the word has "w". Check the letters: "crowds". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
Correct answer: attractions

Explanation: Listen again to "Don't forget about free attractions". After "free", the sentence needs more than one place to visit and ends in s.

Meaning: "attractions" means places or things people visit for interest.

Wrong options:

  • atractions: It leaves out the "t". Write "attractions". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
Correct answer: historical

Explanation: Here you hear "and historical sites at no cost". It comes before "sites", so you need a describing word that fits sites and ends in al.

Meaning: "historical" means related to the past.

Wrong options:

  • historic: "historic" is missing the ending. The speaker says "historical", with "al" at the end.
Correct answer: transportation

Explanation: The speaker says "using public transportation instead of taxis". The word follows "public", so you need a long word for travel systems that ends in tion.

Meaning: "transportation" means systems for moving people, like buses and trains.

Wrong options:

  • transportaion: It leaves out the "t". Write "transportation". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • transit: "transit" is a close word, but it ends in "it". The speaker says "transportation", which ends in "portation".
