Correct answer: activities

Explanation: On the recording you hear "interactive activities to spark". The word is more than one thing, so do not forget the s.

Meaning: "activities" means different things to do.

Wrong options:

• activites: It leaves out the "i". Write "activities". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
• activity: "activity" is a close word, but it ends in "y". The speaker says "activities", which ends in "ies".

Correct answer: exchange

Explanation: Listen again to "book exchange corner". It comes after "book", so you need a word for a thing.

Meaning: "exchange" means a place to swap books.

Wrong options:

• exhange: It leaves out the "c". The right spelling is "exchange". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
• exchanges: "exchanges" has an extra "s" at the end. The speaker says "exchange", with no "s".

Correct answer: gathering

Explanation: Here you hear "It is a gathering not just for". You need a word for an event, and it ends in ing.

Meaning: "gathering" means an event where people meet.

Wrong options:

• gatherng: It leaves out the "i". Check the letters: "gathering". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
• gathered: "gathered" is a close word, but it ends in "ed". The speaker says "gathering", which ends in "ing".
