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

Explanation: You hear "everyone in our community". The word names the local group of people.

Meaning: "community" means a group of people living near each other.

Wrong options:

  • comunity: It leaves out the "m". Write "community". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • country: Country is a whole nation, not the local group the sentence needs.
Correct answer: library

Explanation: Listen for "a mobile library visiting". The word is the place that lends books.

Meaning: "library" means a place that lends books.

Wrong options:

  • libary: It leaves out the "r". The right spelling is "library". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • librarian: "librarian" is a close word, but it ends in "ian". The speaker says "library", which ends in "y".
Correct answer: studying

Explanation: On the recording you hear "reading and studying". The sentence needs an action word that ends in ing.

Meaning: "studying" means spending time learning from books or notes.

Wrong options:

  • studyng: It leaves out the "i". Check the letters: "studying". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • study: "study" is missing the ending. The speaker says "studying", with "ing" at the end.
Correct answer: sessions

Explanation: Listen again to "storytelling sessions for". The sentence talks about more than one event, so the word ends in s.

Meaning: "sessions" means several organised events or meetings.

Wrong options:

  • sesions: It leaves out the "s". The right spelling is "sessions". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • session: "session" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "sessions", so write the "s".
Correct answer: lifelong

Explanation: Here you hear "reading and lifelong learning". It is one word meaning for the whole life, not two words.

Meaning: "lifelong" means happening for a person's whole life.

Wrong options:

  • life long: This splits the word in two. It is one word. The right spelling is "lifelong". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
