This  weekend,  our  town  was  transformed  into  a  vibrant  hub  of  creativity  for  the  annual  arts  .  Streets  were  lined  with  stalls  showcasing  everything  from  handmade  jewellery  to  local  .  One  highlight  was  the  live  pottery  ,  where  artisans  crafted  exquisite  pieces  right  before  our  eyes.  The  atmosphere  was  electric,  with  street  performers  adding  to  the  festive  mood.  Evenings  were  capped  off  with  open-air  concerts  featuring  local  bands,  drawing  crowds  from  all  corners  of  the  .

Correct answer: festival

Explanation: Listen again to "annual arts festival". The sentence needs a word for an event you can visit.

Meaning: "festival" means a public event with food, art and music.

Wrong options:

  • festval: It leaves out the "i". The right spelling is "festival". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • festivals: "festivals" has an extra "s" at the end. The speaker says "festival", with no "s".
Correct answer: paintings

Explanation: Here you hear "from handmade jewellery to local paintings". You need more than one item, so do not forget the s at the end.

Meaning: "paintings" means several pieces of art on canvas or paper.

Wrong options:

  • paintngs: It leaves out the "i". The right spelling is "paintings". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • painting: "painting" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "paintings", so write the "s".
Correct answer: demonstration

Explanation: The speaker says "live pottery demonstration". The sentence needs the event or show itself, not the person.

Meaning: "demonstration" means a public show where people make or explain things.

Wrong options:

  • demonstation: It leaves out the "r". Check the letters: "demonstration". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • demonstrator: "demonstrator" is a close word, but it ends in "or". The speaker says "demonstration", which ends in "ion".
Correct answer: community

Explanation: You hear "corners of the community". The sentence needs a word for the area where people live.

Meaning: "community" means the people and places in a town or area.

Wrong options:

  • comunity: It leaves out the "m". Write "community". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • country: That means the whole nation, not the local area or town.
