Welcome  to  our  workshop  on  beginning  your  journey  into  organic  gardening.  The  first  step  is  selecting  the  right  location;  a  spot  that  receives  ample    is  crucial.  Next,  consider  the  soil  quality;  it  should  be  rich  in  nutrients  and  well-drained.  Adding  homemade  compost  can  improve  soil  fertility  significantly.  Remember,  choosing    seeds  are  vital  for  organic  gardening.  Avoiding  chemical  pesticides  and  relying  on  natural  pest  control  methods  will  ensure  a  healthy  ecosystem  in  your  garden.  Lastly,  regular    and  attention  will  help  your  garden  thrive.  We  also  encourage  the  practice  of  crop  rotation  to  prevent  soil  depletion  and  to  control  pests  and  diseases  naturally.  This  approach  not  only  benefits  your  plants  but  also  supports  local  wildlife,  making  your  garden  a  sanctuary  for  .

Correct answer: sunlight

Explanation: Here you hear "receives ample sunlight". It comes after "receives", so you need a word for a thing.

Meaning: "sunlight" means natural light from the sun.

Wrong options:

  • sunlite: It leaves out the "gh" and it adds an extra "e". The right spelling is "sunlight". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • sunrise: Different word with a different meaning, not the light that plants need.
Correct answer: heirloom

Explanation: The speaker says "choosing heirloom seeds are". The sentence needs a word for a kind of seed.

Meaning: "heirloom" means old seed varieties kept and passed down by gardeners.

Wrong options:

  • heirloomn: It adds an extra "n". The right spelling is "heirloom". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • airloom: Sounds similar but is a different spelling and not the seed type meant here.
Correct answer: watering

Explanation: You hear "regular watering and attention". It follows "regular", so the word is an action that ends in ing.

Meaning: "watering" means giving water to plants on a regular basis.

Wrong options:

  • waterng: It leaves out the "i". The right spelling is "watering". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • water: "water" is missing the ending. The speaker says "watering", with "ing" at the end.
Correct answer: biodiversity

Explanation: Listen for "sanctuary for biodiversity". You need a word for a thing, person or idea.

Meaning: "biodiversity" means many different plants and animals living in the garden.

Wrong options:

  • biodiverse: "biodiverse" is a close word, but it ends in "e". The speaker says "biodiversity", which ends in "ity".
