Correct answer: beautify

Explanation: Here you hear "help beautify our streets". You need an action word that means make things look nicer.

Meaning: "beautify" means make something look nicer.

Wrong options:

  • butify: It leaves out the "ea". Check the letters: "beautify". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • beauty: "beauty" is a close word, but it ends in "y". The speaker says "beautify", which ends in "ify".
Correct answer: recycling

Explanation: The speaker says "workshop on recycling and sustainable". After "on" you need a thing, it ends in ing.

Meaning: "recycling" means making old things usable again.

Wrong options:

  • recyling: It leaves out the "c". Write "recycling". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
Correct answer: picnic

Explanation: You hear "hosting a small picnic with". After "small" you need a word for an event or meal.

Meaning: "picnic" means an outdoor meal together.

Wrong options:

  • picnik: It has "k" where the word has "c". Check the letters: "picnic". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
Correct answer: refreshments

Explanation: Listen for "with refreshments and snacks". After "with" the word means more than one, so it ends in s.

Meaning: "refreshments" means drinks and small food for guests.

Wrong options:

  • refrashments: It has "a" where the word has "e". Check the letters: "refreshments". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • refreshment: "refreshment" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "refreshments", so write the "s".
Correct answer: impact

Explanation: On the recording you hear "make a positive impact together". You need a short word for a result or change.

Meaning: "impact" means a good change or effect.

Wrong options:

  • impakt: It has "k" where the word has "c". The right spelling is "impact". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
