Welcome  everyone  and  thank  you  for  joining  us  today  as  we  unveil  our  latest  initiative—a  program  designed  to  bring  our  community  closer  through  literature.  Our  'Read  Together,  Grow  Together'    will  kick  off  with  a  monthly  book  club,  focusing  on  genres  that  reflect  our  diverse  interests  and  backgrounds.  We've  also  planned    workshops  where  participants  can  learn  the  art  of  storytelling  and  even  try  their  hand  at  writing.  To  make  these  sessions  more  engaging,  we  will  have  guest  speakers  from  various    backgrounds,  including  authors  and  journalists.  Lastly,  we're  excited  to  announce  a  partnership  with  local  ,  offering  discounts  on  books  discussed  in  our  sessions.

Correct answer: initiative

Explanation: Listen again to "'Read Together, Grow Together' initiative will". It comes after the program name, so you need a word for a thing.

Meaning: "initiative" means a new plan or program.

Wrong options:

  • initative: It leaves out the "i". The right spelling is "initiative". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
Correct answer: interactive

Explanation: Here you hear "We've also planned interactive workshops". You need a describing word, it ends in ive.

Meaning: "interactive" means involving people taking part together.

Wrong options:

  • interative: It leaves out the "c". Write "interactive". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • interesting: This is a different describing word. It does not mean taking part together.
Correct answer: literary

Explanation: The speaker says "guest speakers from various literary backgrounds". It comes before "backgrounds", so you need a describing word.

Meaning: "literary" means relating to books and writing.

Wrong options:

  • literaly: It has "l" where the word has "r". Write "literary". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • literal: "literal" is a close word, but it ends in "l". The speaker says "literary", which ends in "ry".
Correct answer: bookshops

Explanation: You hear "partnership with local bookshops, offering discounts". After "local" you need a place word, and more than one, so add s.

Meaning: "bookshops" means shops that sell books.

Wrong options:

  • bokshops: It leaves out the "o". Write "bookshops". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • bookshop: "bookshop" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "bookshops", so write the "s".
