Correct answer: international

Explanation: Listen again to "local and international cuisines." Use a word that describes food.

Meaning: "international" means from other countries.

Wrong options:

  • internatonal: It leaves out the "i". Check the letters: "international". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • internationally: "internationally" has an extra "ly" at the end. The speaker says "international".
Correct answer: traditional

Explanation: Here you hear "from gourmet burgers to traditional dishes" It needs a describing word that ends in al.

Meaning: "traditional" means made the same way for a long time.

Wrong options:

  • traditonal: It leaves out the "i". Write "traditional". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • traditionally: "traditionally" has an extra "ly" at the end. The speaker says "traditional".
Correct answer: demonstrations

Explanation: The speaker says "cooking demonstrations" It is more than one thing, so do not forget the s.

Meaning: "demonstrations" means live shows that teach how to cook.

Wrong options:

  • demostrations: It leaves out the "n". The right spelling is "demonstrations". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • demonstration: "demonstration" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "demonstrations", so write the "s".
Correct answer: critics

Explanation: You hear "food critics." You need more than one person, so add s at the end.

Meaning: "critics" means people who judge or review food.

Wrong options:

  • critcs: It leaves out the "i". Write "critics". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • critic: "critic" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "critics", so write the "s".
