Correct answer: variety

Explanation: Listen again to "introducing a variety of". It comes after "a", so you need a word for a thing, person or idea.

Meaning: "variety" means a range of different kinds.

Wrong options:

  • varity: It leaves out the "e". Check the letters: "variety". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • various: Various is a describing word, not a word for a thing, person or idea.
Correct answer: countries

Explanation: Here you hear "dishes from different countries". "different" comes before it, so do not forget the s at the end.

Meaning: "countries" means different nations.

Wrong options:

  • countrys: It has "y" where the word has "ie". Write "countries". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • cultures: Cultures is about ideas and ways, not the places the food comes from.
Correct answer: exchanges

Explanation: The speaker says "and cultural exchanges". It follows that phrase, so use a thing word and end in s.

Meaning: "exchanges" means sharing between groups or people.

Wrong options:

  • exhanges: It leaves out the "c". Check the letters: "exchanges". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • exchange: "exchange" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "exchanges", so write the "s".
Correct answer: traditional

Explanation: You hear "showcasing traditional costumes". It comes before "costumes", so you need a describing word that ends in al.

Meaning: "traditional" means from long habit or history.

Wrong options:

  • traditonal: It leaves out the "i". Write "traditional". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • national: National means of a nation, not the old or usual style the speaker meant.
Correct answer: wealth

Explanation: Listen for "cultural wealth that each". The sentence needs a short word for richness or value.

Meaning: "wealth" means richness or great value.

Wrong options:

  • welath: Two letters are in the wrong order. Write "wealth". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
Correct answer: community

Explanation: On the recording you hear "each community brings". After "each" you need one word naming a group.

Meaning: "community" means a group of people who live or work together.

Wrong options:

  • comunity: It leaves out the "m". Write "community". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • country: Country means a nation, not the local group the sentence talks about.
