Correct answer: initiative

Explanation: Listen again to "'Read Together, Grow Together' initiative will". The word comes after the title, so you need a word for a new project.

Meaning: "initiative" means a new plan or project to start.

Wrong options:

  • initative: It leaves out the "i". The right spelling is "initiative". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
Correct answer: interactive

Explanation: Here you hear "planned interactive workshops where participants". You need a describing word about how the workshops work, it ends in ive.

Meaning: "interactive" means people take part and do things together.

Wrong options:

  • interative: It leaves out the "c". Write "interactive". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • interesting: That means something is fun or curious. The sentence needs a word about how the sessions run.
Correct answer: library

Explanation: The speaker says "guest speakers from various library backgrounds". It comes after "various", so you need a place with books.

Meaning: "library" means a place that has many books for reading or borrowing.

Wrong options:

  • libary: It leaves out the "r". The right spelling is "library". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • literary: That word means about literature. The sentence needs a place, not a describing word.
Correct answer: bookshops

Explanation: You hear "partnership with local bookshops offering discounts". It comes after "local", so you need more than one shop, do not forget the s.

Meaning: "bookshops" means shops that sell books.

Wrong options:

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