Meaning: "importance" means how much a task matters.

Wrong options:

• importence: It has "e" where the word has "a". The right spelling is "importance". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
• important: "important" is a close word, but it ends in "t". The speaker says "importance", which ends in "ce".

Correct answer: planner

Explanation: Here you hear "a digital planner can". It comes after "digital", so you need a word for a thing.

Meaning: "planner" means a book or app to organise time and tasks.

Wrong options:

• planer: It leaves out the "n". Write "planner". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
• planning: "planning" is a close word, but it ends in "ing". The speaker says "planner", which ends in "er".

Correct answer: distractions

Meaning: "distractions" means things that stop you from focusing.

Wrong options:

• distrction: It leaves out the "a" and it leaves out the "s". Check the letters: "distractions". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
• distraction: "distraction" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "distractions", so write the "s".

Correct answer: breaks

Wrong options:

• brakes: This is a different word about stopping a vehicle, not rest times.
• break: "break" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "breaks", so write the "s".

Correct answer: burnout

Meaning: "burnout" means extreme tiredness and loss of energy from too much work.

Wrong options:

• burnot: It leaves out the "u". Write "burnout". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
• burn out: Here the word is written as two words, not one.
