Today,  we  are  excited  to  share  our  plans  to  revolutionise  public  transportation  in  our  city.  Our  new  initiatives  include  expanding  the  bike-share  program  and  introducing  electric  buses,  aiming  to  provide  more  sustainable  and    travel  options  for  our  residents.  We  believe  these  changes  will  not  only  improve  air  quality  but  also  make  our  city  more    to  everyone.  Additionally,  we  are  launching  a  new  app  to  make  route  planning  easier  and  more    for  users.  This  is  just  the  beginning  of  our  commitment  to  a  greener,  more    city.

Correct answer: efficient

Explanation: You hear "more sustainable and efficient travel". The word comes before travel, so you need a describing word for travel.

Meaning: "efficient" means working well with little waste.

Wrong options:

  • eficient: It leaves out the "f". Check the letters: "efficient". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • efficiently: "efficiently" has an extra "ly" at the end. The speaker says "efficient".
Correct answer: accessible

Explanation: Listen for "city more accessible to everyone". It comes after more, so you need a describing word for the city.

Meaning: "accessible" means easy for people to use or reach.

Wrong options:

  • accessable: It has "a" where the word has "i". The right spelling is "accessible". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • accessibly: "accessibly" is a close word, but it ends in "y". The speaker says "accessible", which ends in "e".
Correct answer: intuitive

Explanation: On the recording you hear "easier and more intuitive for users". It follows more, so you need a describing word that fits users.

Meaning: "intuitive" means easy to understand and use without help.

Wrong options:

  • intutive: It leaves out the "i". Write "intuitive". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • intuitively: "intuitively" has an extra "ly" at the end. The speaker says "intuitive".
Correct answer: connected

Explanation: Listen again to "greener, more connected city". It comes after more, so you need a describing word for the city.

Meaning: "connected" means linked well with other places or systems.

Wrong options:

  • conected: It leaves out the "n". Write "connected". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • connecting: "connecting" is a close word, but it ends in "ing". The speaker says "connected", which ends in "ed".
