Correct answer: landscapes

Explanation: You hear "breathtaking mountain landscapes". It names a thing. More than one, so do not forget the s.

Meaning: "landscapes" means wide views of land and scenery.

Wrong options:

  • landscaps: It leaves out the "e". Check the letters: "landscapes". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • landscape: "landscape" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "landscapes", so write the "s".
Correct answer: stars

Explanation: Listen for "camp under the stars". It comes after "the", so you need a thing you see at night.

Meaning: "stars" means the lights you see in the night sky.

Wrong options:

  • staers: It adds an extra "e". The right spelling is "stars". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • stares: "stares" is a close word, but it ends in "es". The speaker says "stars", which ends in "s".
Correct answer: expert

Explanation: On the recording you hear "from expert guides". The sentence needs a short word meaning very skilled, not a longer form.

Meaning: "expert" means someone with a lot of skill and knowledge.

Wrong options:

  • experienced: "experienced" is a close word, but it ends in "ienced". The speaker says "expert", which ends in "t".
Correct answer: adrenaline

Explanation: Listen again to "providing an adrenaline rush". You need a word that tells the strong feeling, watch the middle letters.

Meaning: "adrenaline" means a sudden strong burst of energy and excitement.

Wrong options:

  • adrenalin: It leaves out the "e". Write "adrenaline". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • adrenal: "adrenal" is missing the ending. The speaker says "adrenaline", with "ine" at the end.
Correct answer: getaway

Explanation: Here you hear "the perfect getaway for". It is one word for a short holiday, not two words.

Meaning: "getaway" means a short trip or holiday to relax or escape routine.

Wrong options:

  • getawy: It leaves out the "a". Write "getaway". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • get away: This has a space and is not the single word the speaker used.
Correct answer: nature

Explanation: The speaker says "connect with nature". After "with" you need a simple word for the natural world.

Meaning: "nature" means the plants, animals, and land around us.

Wrong options:

  • natuer: Two letters are in the wrong order. The right spelling is "nature". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
