Instructions ›
You will hear a recording of a person discussing their experience volunteering at a local animal shelter. Type the missing words in each blank.
* Fill in the missing words into the blank fields
Volunteering  at  the  local  animal  shelter  has  been  an  eye-opening  .  Every  day  is  different,  but  my  main  responsibility  is  to  help  with  the  daily  care  of  the  .  This  includes  feeding  them,  cleaning  their  living  spaces,  and  sometimes  even  assisting  with  minor  medical  .  What  I  find  most  rewarding,  though,  is  the  socialisation  .  It's  crucial  for  the  animals,  especially  those  that  have  been  rescued  from  difficult  situations.  Seeing  them  slowly  trust  and  open  up  to  human    is  incredibly  fulfilling.  The  shelter's  commitment  to  finding  these  animals  forever    is  what  drives  all  of  us  volunteers.

Correct answer: experience

Explanation: On the recording you hear "an eye-opening experience". It comes after "an", so you need a word for a thing.

Meaning: "experience" means something you learn from doing it.

Wrong options:

  • expereince: Two letters are in the wrong order. Check the letters: "experience". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • experiance: It has "a" where the word has "e". The right spelling is "experience". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
Correct answer: animals

Explanation: Listen again to "the daily care of the animals". It comes after "the", so you need more than one and an s at the end.

Meaning: "animals" means more than one animal.

Wrong options:

  • animas: It leaves out the "l". Write "animals". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • animal: "animal" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "animals", so write the "s".
Correct answer: treatments

Explanation: Here you hear "assisting with minor medical treatments". The sentence lists things, so the word ends in s.

Meaning: "treatments" means medical things done to help them.

Wrong options:

  • treaments: It leaves out the "t". The right spelling is "treatments". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • treatment: "treatment" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "treatments", so write the "s".
Correct answer: time

Explanation: The speaker says "is the socialisation time". You need a short word that tells when, like time.

Meaning: "time" means a period for social activities.

Wrong options:

  • tyme: It has "y" where the word has "i". Write "time". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • times: "times" has an extra "s" at the end. The speaker says "time", with no "s".
Correct answer: interaction

Explanation: You hear "open up to human interaction". After "human" the sentence needs a word for a thing.

Meaning: "interaction" means contact between people and the animals.

Wrong options:

  • interation: It leaves out the "c". Check the letters: "interaction". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
Correct answer: homes

Explanation: Listen for "finding these animals forever homes". The sentence needs more than one, so do not forget s.

Meaning: "homes" means permanent places where the animals live.

Wrong options:

  • home: "home" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "homes", so write the "s".
