Correct answer: classes

Explanation: Here you hear "showcase of classes and". The word follows 'showcase of', so use more than one and end with s.

Meaning: "classes" means more than one group of lessons people can join.

Wrong options:

  • clasess: Two letters are in the wrong order. Write "classes". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
Correct answer: workshops

Explanation: The speaker says "and workshops available to". It follows "and", so this is another thing in more than one and ends in s.

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

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: addition

Explanation: You hear "This new addition is expected". It comes after "new", so the sentence needs a word for a thing that ends in tion.

Meaning: "addition" means something new that is added to the place or service.

Wrong options:

  • additon: It leaves out the "i". The right spelling is "addition". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • edition: Edition means a version or release, not something added to the place.
Correct answer: community

Explanation: Listen for "cornerstone of community life". You need a word for the local people and area.

Meaning: "community" means the people and area around the centre.

Wrong options:

  • comunity: It leaves out the "m". Write "community". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • company: Company means a business, not the local people living in the area.
