* Fill in the missing words into the blank fields
Good  morning,  team!  As  we  gear  up  for  this  year's  community  sports  day,  I  want  to  go  over  the  key  ,  we  have  planned.  We  will  start  with  the  children's  100-metre  dash  followed  by  the  adults'  relay  .  This  year,  we  are  introducing  a  new  challenge  -  the    course,  designed  to  test    and  speed.  We  also  have  a  tug-of-war  contest  that's  always  a  crowd-pleaser.  To  keep  everyone  energised,  there  will  be  healthy  snack  stations  throughout  the  venue.  Let's  ensure  we  have  all  the  necessary  equipment  and  volunteers  in  place  to  make  this  day  a  success.

Correct answer: events

Explanation: The speaker says "key events, we have". It comes after "key", so you need a word for a thing.

Meaning: "events" means more than one activity at the day.

Wrong options:

  • evnets: Two letters are in the wrong order. The right spelling is "events". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • event: "event" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "events", so write the "s".
Correct answer: race

Explanation: You hear "adults' relay race." It comes after "relay", so you need a word for a thing.

Meaning: "race" means a running or team competition.

Wrong options:

  • rce: It leaves out the "a". Check the letters: "race". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • races: "races" has an extra "s" at the end. The speaker says "race", with no "s".
Correct answer: obstacle

Explanation: Listen for "the obstacle course, designed". It comes before "course", so you need a word that describes it.

Meaning: "obstacle" means things that make the way harder or block you.

Wrong options:

  • obstcale: Two letters are in the wrong order. Check the letters: "obstacle". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • obstacles: "obstacles" has an extra "s" at the end. The speaker says "obstacle", with no "s".
Correct answer: agility

Explanation: On the recording you hear "test agility and speed". It comes after "test", so you need a word for an ability.

Meaning: "agility" means the ability to move quickly and change direction easily.

Wrong options:

  • agilty: It leaves out the "i". Check the letters: "agility". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • ability: This word is close in sound but it does not mean quick movement like agility.
