Correct answer: trails

Explanation: On the recording you hear "featuring walking trails". The word after "walking" is more than one, so do not forget the s at the end.

Meaning: "trails" means paths for walking.

Wrong options:

  • trils: It leaves out the "a". Write "trails". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • trail: "trail" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "trails", so write the "s".
Correct answer: gardens

Explanation: Listen again to "native plant gardens". It comes after "plant", so you need a word for more than one garden.

Meaning: "gardens" means planted areas with many plants.

Wrong options:

  • gardans: It has "a" where the word has "e". The right spelling is "gardens". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • garden: "garden" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "gardens", so write the "s".
Correct answer: recreational

Explanation: Here you hear "a small lake for recreational activities". You need a describing word that tells what kind of activities.

Meaning: "recreational" means for fun and leisure.

Wrong options:

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

Explanation: The speaker says "while preserving natural habitats". The word after "natural" is more than one, so add s at the end.

Meaning: "habitats" means places where animals and plants live.

Wrong options:

  • habitets: It has "e" where the word has "a". Write "habitats". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • habitat: "habitat" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "habitats", so write the "s".
Correct answer: flora

Explanation: You hear "educational signage about local flora and fauna". The missing word names plants, not animals.

Meaning: "flora" means the plants of an area.

Wrong options:

  • floora: It adds an extra "o". The right spelling is "flora". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
Correct answer: workshops

Explanation: Listen for "we plan to host monthly environmental workshops". It needs more than one event, so do not forget the s.

Meaning: "workshops" means group sessions for learning and practice.

Wrong options:

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