Instructions ›
You will hear a recording of an urban development planner discussing the benefits of green infrastructure in city planning. Type the missing words in each blank.
* Fill in the missing words into the blank fields
In  our  pursuit  of  creating  more  liveable  and  resilient  urban  spaces,  green  infrastructure  plays  a  pivotal  role.  Our  latest  project  includes  the  creation  of  a    park  in  the  city  centre,  which  will  feature  native  plantings,  walking  and  cycling  paths,  and  areas  for  community  gardening.  This  effort  towards  sustainable  urban  development  underscores  our  commitment  to    living  and  the  well-being  of  our  citizens.  By  prioritising  green  infrastructure,  we  mitigate  the  effects  of  climate  change  and  ensure  our  city  remains  a  vibrant,    place  for  future  generations.  Moreover,  these  projects  create  opportunities  for  local  employment  and  education  on  environmental  stewardship.  As  we  move  forward,  community  feedback  will  be  essential  in  shaping  our  green  initiatives,  making  urban  planning  a    process.

Correct answer: large

Explanation: You hear "creation of a large park". It comes after "a", so you need a word for size.

Meaning: "large" means big in size.

Wrong options:

  • lareg: Two letters are in the wrong order. The right spelling is "large". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
Correct answer: sustainable

Explanation: Listen for "commitment to sustainable living". You need a describing word that ends in able.

Meaning: "sustainable" means able to continue long term.

Wrong options:

  • sustainably: "sustainably" is a close word, but it ends in "y". The speaker says "sustainable", which ends in "e".
Correct answer: thriving

Explanation: On the recording you hear "a vibrant, thriving place". You need a describing word that ends in ing.

Meaning: "thriving" means growing and successful.

Wrong options:

  • thrived: "thrived" is a close word, but it ends in "ed". The speaker says "thriving", which ends in "ing".
Correct answer: collaborative

Explanation: Listen again to "making urban planning a collaborative process". It comes before "process", so you need a word meaning working together.

Meaning: "collaborative" means done together by many people.

Wrong options:

  • collaberative: It has "e" where the word has "o". Check the letters: "collaborative". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • collaborating: "collaborating" is a close word, but it ends in "ng". The speaker says "collaborative", which ends in "ve".
