Correct answer: beach

Explanation: Listen for "somewhere warm with a beach". After "with a" you need a word for a thing.

Meaning: "beach" means the sandy area by the sea.

Wrong options:

  • beech: It has "e" where the word has "a". Check the letters: "beach". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • beaches: "beaches" has an extra "es" at the end. The speaker says "beach", with no "es".
Correct answer: adventure

Explanation: On the recording you hear "an adventure -filled holiday". It comes before -filled, so you need a word for an experience.

Meaning: "adventure" here means exciting activities for the holiday.

Wrong options:

  • adventre: It leaves out the "u". Check the letters: "adventure". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • adventures: "adventures" has an extra "s" at the end. The speaker says "adventure", with no "s".
Correct answer: airport

Explanation: Listen again to "includes airport transfers". After "includes" the sentence needs the name of a place.

Meaning: "airport" means the place where planes arrive and leave.

Wrong options:

  • airpot: It leaves out the "r". The right spelling is "airport". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • airports: "airports" has an extra "s" at the end. The speaker says "airport", with no "s".
Correct answer: personalised

Explanation: Here you hear "to a personalised itinerary". A small word like a, the or every comes before it. You need a describing word that ends in ed.

Meaning: "personalised" means made to suit you or your needs.

Wrong options:

  • personlised: It leaves out the "a". The right spelling is "personalised". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • personalized: "personalized" is a close word, but it ends in "zed". The speaker says "personalised", which ends in "sed".
