Meaning: "chemicals" means man made farm substances used on fields.

Wrong options:

• chemicales: It adds an extra "e". Write "chemicals". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.

Correct answer: erosion

Explanation: You hear "maintain soil health and prevent erosion". The word follows "prevent", so you need a thing that can happen to soil.

Meaning: "erosion" means soil being worn or washed away by wind or water.

Wrong options:

• erosoin: Two letters are in the wrong order. Check the letters: "erosion". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.

Correct answer: pests

Explanation: Listen for "manage pests, reducing the need". It comes after "manage", so you need a word for small animals or insects.

Meaning: "pests" means animals or insects that damage crops.

Wrong options:

• pestes: It adds an extra "e". Write "pests". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.

Correct answer: interventions

Explanation: On the recording you hear "reducing the need for interventions". The word follows "for", so you need a thing and remember the s for more than one.

Meaning: "interventions" means actions taken to solve a problem on the farm.

Wrong options:

• interventons: It leaves out the "i". The right spelling is "interventions". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
• intervention: "intervention" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "interventions", so write the "s".
