Our  community  is  launching  a  book  exchange  program  to  foster  a  love  for  reading  and  sharing  knowledge.  Members  can    books  they  have  finished  reading,  making  them  available  for  others  to  enjoy.  This  initiative  not  only  promotes    by  reusing  and  recycling  but  also  encourages    exchange  among  participants.  A  special  section  for  children's  books  aims  to  inspire  young  readers.  Furthermore,  we  plan  to  organise  monthly    where  members  can  discuss  their  readings  and  share  insights,    our  community's  intellectual  engagement.

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

Explanation: Listen again to "can donate books they". It comes after "can", so you need an action word.

Meaning: "donate" means give books for free to others.

Wrong options:

  • donat: It leaves out the "e". Write "donate". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
Correct answer: sustainability

Explanation: Here you hear "promotes sustainability by reusing". It is a word for a thing and ends in ity.

Meaning: "sustainability" means care that can continue for a long time, often for the environment.

Wrong options:

  • sustanability: It leaves out the "i". The right spelling is "sustainability". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • sustainable: "sustainable" is a close word, but it ends in "le". The speaker says "sustainability", which ends in "ility".
Correct answer: cultural

Explanation: The speaker says "encourages cultural exchange among". It comes before "exchange", so you need a describing word.

Meaning: "cultural" means about the ideas and habits of a group of people.

Wrong options:

  • cultral: It leaves out the "u". Write "cultural". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • culture: "culture" is a close word, but it ends in "e". The speaker says "cultural", which ends in "al".
Correct answer: gatherings

Explanation: You hear "organise monthly gatherings where". It follows "monthly", so you need more than one and keep the final s.

Meaning: "gatherings" means meetings or events where people come together.

Wrong options:

  • gatherins: It leaves out the "g". Check the letters: "gatherings". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • gathering: "gathering" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "gatherings", so write the "s".
Correct answer: enhancing

Explanation: Listen for "share insights, enhancing our community's". It follows a comma, so you need an action word ending in ing.

Meaning: "enhancing" means making the community's thinking and activity better.

Wrong options:

  • enhansing: It has "s" where the word has "c". The right spelling is "enhancing". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • enhance: "enhance" is a close word, but it ends in "e". The speaker says "enhancing", which ends in "ing".
