Practice Listening: Fill in the Blanks (Type In) ID: #41556 Short Participating
Instructions ›
You will hear a recording of a local community leader discussing the benefits of community gardens. Type the missing words in each blank.
* Fill in the missing words into the blank fields
Community  gardens  offer  more  than  just  a  space  to  grow  fruits  and  vegetables;  they  serve  as  a  vibrant  hub  for    engagement  and  environmental  education.  Participating  in  a  garden  fosters  a  sense  of    and  responsibility  towards  our  local  environment.  It  is  a  place  where  people  of  all  ages  come  together,  share  knowledge,  and  cultivate  not  only  plants  but  also  .  The  gardens  also  play  a  critical  role  in  promoting  ,  providing  fresh  produce,  and  enhancing  biodiversity  in  urban  settings.

AI explanationShows the answer. Tap to open.
Correct answer: community

Explanation: You hear "hub for community engagement". It comes before engagement, so it names a group of people.

Meaning: "community" means people who live in the same area.

Wrong options:

  • comunity: It leaves out the "m". Write "community". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • communal: "communal" is a close word, but it ends in "al". The speaker says "community", which ends in "ity".
Correct answer: ownership

Explanation: Listen for "sense of ownership and". The sentence needs a single word for a feeling or duty.

Meaning: "ownership" means the feeling of being responsible for something.

Wrong options:

  • ownship: It leaves out the "er". Check the letters: "ownership". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
Correct answer: friendships

Explanation: On the recording you hear "but also friendships". The missing word means more than one relationship, so it ends in s.

Meaning: "friendships" means relationships between friends.

Wrong options:

  • friendship: "friendship" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "friendships", so write the "s".
  • frendships: It leaves out the "i". The right spelling is "friendships". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
Correct answer: sustainability

Explanation: Listen again to "role in promoting sustainability, providing". The word is a long idea and ends in ty.

Meaning: "sustainability" means using resources in a way that keeps them for the future.

Wrong options:

  • sustanability: It leaves out the "i". The right spelling is "sustainability". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • sustainable: "sustainable" is a close word, but it ends in "le". The speaker says "sustainability", which ends in "ility".
