Instructions ›
You will hear a recording of a local council member discussing the renovation of the community centre. Type the missing words in each blank.
* Fill in the missing words into the blank fields
Our  community  centre  has  long  been  a  hub  for  social  and  educational  activities,  but  it's  time  for  a  much-needed  upgrade.  The  renovation  plans  include  expanding  the  library,  introducing  a  state-of-the-art    centre,  updating  the  auditorium  for  ,  and  creating  more  spaces  for    and  classes.  We're  also  focusing  on  sustainability,  with  the  installation  of  solar  panels  and  water-saving  .  This  project  not  only  revitalises  the  building  but  also  enriches  our  community's  cultural  and  recreational  offerings.

Correct answer: fitness

Explanation: Here you hear "state-of-the-art fitness centre". It comes after "a", so you need a word for a thing.

Meaning: "fitness" means a place for exercise and physical activity.

Wrong options:

  • fitnes: It leaves out the "s". The right spelling is "fitness". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
Correct answer: performances

Explanation: The speaker says "updating the auditorium for performances". It follows "for", so you need more than one.

Meaning: "performances" means shows or events held there.

Wrong options:

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

Explanation: You hear "spaces for workshops and classes". It comes before "and classes", so you need more than one.

Meaning: "workshops" means short practical lessons or group sessions.

Wrong options:

  • workshps: It leaves out the "o". Write "workshops". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • workshop: "workshop" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "workshops", so write the "s".
Correct answer: fixtures

Explanation: Listen for "water-saving fixtures". It follows "water-saving", so you need a word for things and add s.

Meaning: "fixtures" means fixed equipment like taps and fittings.

Wrong options:

  • fictures: It has "c" where the word has "x". Check the letters: "fixtures". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • fixture: "fixture" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "fixtures", so write the "s".
