Correct answer: artistic

Explanation: Listen for "cultural and artistic skills". You need a describing word, it ends in ic.

Meaning: "artistic" means about art or creative work.

Wrong options:

  • artisitc: Two letters are in the wrong order. Write "artistic". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • artisan: "artisan" is a close word, but it ends in "an". The speaker says "artistic", which ends in "tic".
Correct answer: designed

Explanation: On the recording you hear "photography classes designed for". This already happened, so the word ends in ed.

Meaning: "designed" means made or planned for a purpose.

Wrong options:

  • desinged: Two letters are in the wrong order. The right spelling is "designed". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • design: "design" is missing the ending. The speaker says "designed", with "ed" at the end.
Correct answer: cuisine

Explanation: Listen again to "local and international cuisine". It comes after 'international', so you need a word for food.

Meaning: "cuisine" means types or styles of cooking and food.

Wrong options:

  • cusine: It leaves out the "i". Check the letters: "cuisine". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
Correct answer: genres

Explanation: Here you hear "mix of genres to entertain". After 'mix of' you need more than one, so add s.

Meaning: "genres" means different kinds or styles of music.

Wrong options:

  • geners: Two letters are in the wrong order. Check the letters: "genres". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • genre: "genre" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "genres", so write the "s".
