Correct answer: engagement

Explanation: Listen again to "community health and engagement". The word after "and" ends in ment.

Meaning: "engagement" means taking part or joining in with others.

Wrong options:

  • engagment: It leaves out the "e". Check the letters: "engagement". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • engaging: "engaging" is a close word, but it ends in "ing". The speaker says "engagement", which ends in "ement".
Correct answer: gardens

Explanation: Here you hear "serene meditation gardens". It comes after "meditation", so you need a place word and it ends in s.

Meaning: "gardens" means areas planted with trees or flowers for people to enjoy.

Wrong options:

  • gardnes: Two letters are in the wrong order. Check the letters: "gardens". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • garden: "garden" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "gardens", so write the "s".
Correct answer: interaction

Explanation: The speaker says "and social interaction". It follows "social", so you need a word for people acting together that ends in tion.

Meaning: "interaction" means actions or contact between people.

Wrong options:

  • interation: It leaves out the "c". Check the letters: "interaction". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • interactions: "interactions" has an extra "s" at the end. The speaker says "interaction", with no "s".
Correct answer: conservation

Explanation: You hear "towards environmental conservation". It is about protecting nature, and the word ends in tion.

Meaning: "conservation" means protecting nature and natural resources.

Wrong options:

  • conservasion: It has "s" where the word has "t". The right spelling is "conservation". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • preservation: This is a different word with a related but different meaning.
Correct answer: infrastructure

Explanation: Listen for "eco-friendly infrastructure". It comes after "eco-friendly", so you need a long word for public systems, ends in ture.

Meaning: "infrastructure" means the basic systems and buildings a community needs.

Wrong options:

  • infastructure: It leaves out the "r". The right spelling is "infrastructure". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • structure: This is a shorter word and does not mean the full public systems idea.
