* Fill in the missing words into the blank fields
Our  team  is  excited  to  announce  the  development  of  Central  Park,  a  new  green  space  designed  to  enhance  urban  living.  This  park  will  feature  a  variety  of    areas,  including  a  community  garden  and  a  dog  park.  A  key  aspect  of  our  design  is  the  incorporation  of  pedestrian-friendly  ,  promoting  cycling  and  walking  over  vehicular  travel.  We're  also  implementing  a    harvesting  system  to  irrigate  the  park  sustainably.  Furthermore,  the  park's  layout  encourages  social  interaction,  with  its  open-air  amphitheatre  for  live  .  Finally,  our  commitment  to  biodiversity  can  be  seen  in  our    habitats  for  local  wildlife.

Correct answer: recreational

Explanation: Here you hear "variety of recreational areas". You need a describing word, ends in al.

Meaning: "recreational" means for fun or leisure.

Wrong options:

  • recreation: "recreation" is missing the ending. The speaker says "recreational", with "al" at the end.
Correct answer: pathways

Explanation: The speaker says "pedestrian-friendly pathways promoting cycling". Do not forget the s at the end.

Meaning: "pathways" means more than one walking route.

Wrong options:

  • pathwais: It has "i" where the word has "y". The right spelling is "pathways". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • pathway: "pathway" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "pathways", so write the "s".
Correct answer: rainwater

Explanation: You hear "implementing a rainwater harvesting system". It is one word made of rain and water.

Meaning: "rainwater" means the water that falls as rain.

Wrong options:

  • rain water: The recording links the two parts into one word here.
Correct answer: performances

Explanation: Listen for "open-air amphitheatre for live performances". You need more than one event, so it ends in s.

Meaning: "performances" means live shows or events.

Wrong options:

  • performences: It has "e" where the word has "a". Check the letters: "performances". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • performance: "performance" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "performances", so write the "s".
Correct answer: dedicated

Explanation: On the recording you hear "in our dedicated habitats for local wildlife". It comes after our, so a describing word ends in ed.

Meaning: "dedicated" means made or set aside for a specific use.

Wrong options:

  • dedictaed: Two letters are in the wrong order. The right spelling is "dedicated". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • dedicate: "dedicate" is missing the ending. The speaker says "dedicated", with "d" at the end.
