Correct answer: sustainable

Explanation: Listen again to "into a sustainable living". You need a describing word that ends in able.

Meaning: "sustainable" means able to keep going without harm to nature.

Wrong options:

  • sustanable: It leaves out the "i". Write "sustainable". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • sustainability: "sustainability" is a close word, but it ends in "ility". The speaker says "sustainable", which ends in "le".
Correct answer: recycling

Explanation: Here you hear "workshops on recycling and". The sentence needs an activity word ending in ing.

Meaning: "recycling" means making used things ready to use again.

Wrong options:

  • recyling: It leaves out the "c". Write "recycling". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • recycle: "recycle" is a close word, but it ends in "e". The speaker says "recycling", which ends in "ing".
Correct answer: practices

Explanation: The speaker says "eco-friendly products and practices". You need more than one, so add s at the end.

Meaning: "practices" means ways of doing things that are good for the environment.

Wrong options:

  • practises: It has "s" where the word has "c". Check the letters: "practices". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • practice: "practice" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "practices", so write the "s".
Correct answer: transportation

Explanation: You hear "non-motorized transportation". The sentence needs a long word for travel or getting around.

Meaning: "transportation" means ways of moving people from place to place.

Wrong options:

  • trasportation: It leaves out the "n". Write "transportation". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • transport: "transport" is missing the ending. The speaker says "transportation", with "ation" at the end.
Correct answer: environment

Explanation: Listen for "impact on our environment and". The word comes after our, so it is a place or surroundings.

Meaning: "environment" means the natural world and local surroundings.

Wrong options:

  • enviroment: It leaves out the "n". Write "environment". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • environments: "environments" has an extra "s" at the end. The speaker says "environment", with no "s".
