Instructions ›
You will hear a recording of an event organiser discussing the preparation for a local arts festival. Type the missing words in each blank.
* Fill in the missing words into the blank fields
With  the  festival  just  around  the  corner,  our  team  is  working  tirelessly  to  ensure  a  vibrant  and  inclusive  event.  This  year,  we're  incorporating  a  variety  of  performances  from  local  musicians,  artists,  and  dancers,  showcasing  the  rich    tapestry  of  our  community.  We've  also  introduced  interactive  art  installations  that  invite  festivalgoers  to  contribute,  creating  a  collective    by  the  event's  end.  Food  stalls  will  offer  a  taste  of  local  and  international  cuisines,  catering  to  all    preferences.  Lastly,  we  are  committed  to  minimising  our  environmental  impact  by  implementing    practices  throughout  the  festival.

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

Explanation: Listen for "showcasing the rich cultural tapestry". It comes before "tapestry", so you need a word for shared customs and arts.

Meaning: "cultural" means about shared customs, arts and community life.

Wrong options:

  • cultual: It leaves out the "r". Write "cultural". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • natural: This is about nature, not community customs or arts.
Correct answer: masterpiece

Explanation: On the recording you hear "creating a collective masterpiece by". It comes after "collective", so you need a word for a great work of art.

Meaning: "masterpiece" means a very good work of art made by people together.

Wrong options:

  • masterpeice: Two letters are in the wrong order. Write "masterpiece". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • masterplan: "masterplan" is a close word, but it ends in "lan". The speaker says "masterpiece", which ends in "iece".
Correct answer: dietary

Explanation: Listen again to "catering to all dietary preferences". It comes before "preferences", so you need a word about food needs, ending in ry.

Meaning: "dietary" means about what people can or cannot eat.

Wrong options:

  • dietery: It has "e" where the word has "a". Check the letters: "dietary". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • diet: "diet" is missing the ending. The speaker says "dietary", with "ary" at the end.
Correct answer: sustainable

Explanation: Here you hear "implementing sustainable practices throughout". You need a describing word that ends in able for environmental care.

Meaning: "sustainable" means not harming the environment over time.

Wrong options:

  • sustanable: It leaves out the "i". Write "sustainable". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • sustained: "sustained" is a close word, but it ends in "ed". The speaker says "sustainable", which ends in "able".
