Correct answer: traditions

Explanation: Listen for "from ancient traditions". The word follows "ancient", so you need more than one and add s at the end.

Meaning: "traditions" means long-held cultural practices.

Wrong options:

  • traditons: It leaves out the "i". Write "traditions". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • tradition: "tradition" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "traditions", so write the "s".
Correct answer: expressions

Explanation: On the recording you hear "modern expressions". You hear it after "modern", so you need a word for more than one and add s.

Meaning: "expressions" means artistic ways to show ideas.

Wrong options:

  • expresions: It leaves out the "s". Write "expressions". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • expression: "expression" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "expressions", so write the "s".
Correct answer: sculptures

Explanation: Listen again to "a series of sculptures that". After "series of" you need more than one, so do not forget the s.

Meaning: "sculptures" means three-dimensional artworks.

Wrong options:

  • scuptures: It leaves out the "l". The right spelling is "sculptures". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • sculpture: "sculpture" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "sculptures", so write the "s".
Correct answer: modern

Explanation: Here you hear "a modern twist". It comes before "twist", so you need a describing word about style now.

Meaning: "modern" means new or of the present time.

Wrong options:

  • modren: Two letters are in the wrong order. Write "modern". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
Correct answer: process

Explanation: The speaker says "creative process". The word follows "creative", so you need a word for a thing here.

Meaning: "process" means the steps or method used to make the art.

Wrong options:

  • proccess: It adds an extra "c". Check the letters: "process". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • procedure: "procedure" is a close word, but it ends in "dure". The speaker says "process", which ends in "ss".
