Meaning: "traditions" means usual ways or cultural practices passed down.

Wrong options:

• traditons: It leaves out the "i". Write "traditions". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
• traditional: "traditional" is a close word, but it ends in "al". The speaker says "traditions", which ends in "s".

Correct answer: techniques

Explanation: Listen again to "Western cooking techniques". The sentence asks for methods, so do not forget the s at the end.

Meaning: "techniques" means methods or ways of cooking.

Wrong options:

• techniqes: It leaves out the "u". The right spelling is "techniques". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
• technics: "technics" is a close word, but it ends in "cs". The speaker says "techniques", which ends in "ques".

Correct answer: harmony

Explanation: Here you hear "cultural harmony and innovation". You need a word meaning a peaceful balance between cultures.

Meaning: "harmony" means a peaceful balance or good fit between things.

Wrong options:

• harmoney: It adds an extra "e". Write "harmony". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.

Correct answer: worlds

Explanation: The speaker says "celebrates the fusion of worlds". You need a word for more than one place or culture, so add s.

Meaning: "worlds" means different cultures or places.

Wrong options:

• wolrds: Two letters are in the wrong order. The right spelling is "worlds". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
• world: "world" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "worlds", so write the "s".
