Practice Listening: Fill in the Blanks (Type In) ID: #42853 Short Digitalisation
Instructions ›
You will hear a recording of an environmental consultant discussing workplace sustainability practices. Type the missing words in each blank.
* Fill in the missing words into the blank fields
Achieving  sustainability  within  the  workplace  goes  beyond  just  recycling.  It  involves  a  holistic  approach  that  includes  reducing    consumption,  encouraging  the  use  of  public    among  employees,  and  sourcing  eco-friendly  office  .  One  effective  strategy  is  implementing  a  'green'  certification  system  for  departments  that  meet  specific  environmental  .  Additionally,  digitalisation  of  documents  significantly  reduces  paper  usage.  Engaging  staff  through    workshops  can  also  cultivate  a  culture  of  eco-consciousness,  driving  collective  action  towards  a  greener  future.

Correct answer: energy

Explanation: Listen for "reducing energy consumption." You need a word that comes before consumption.

Meaning: "energy" means power used for machines and lights.

Wrong options:

  • enegy: It leaves out the "r". Check the letters: "energy". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • energies: "energies" is a close word, but it ends in "ies". The speaker says "energy", which ends in "y".
Correct answer: transport

Explanation: On the recording you hear "public transport among employees." You need a word for a way to travel.

Meaning: "transport" means buses, trains, and other travel methods.

Wrong options:

  • trasport: It leaves out the "n". The right spelling is "transport". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • transportation: "transportation" has an extra "ation" at the end. The speaker says "transport".
Correct answer: supplies

Explanation: Listen again to "eco-friendly office supplies." You need a work item, and it ends with s.

Meaning: "supplies" means items like paper, pens, and ink for the office.

Wrong options:

  • suplies: It leaves out the "p". Check the letters: "supplies". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • supply: "supply" is a close word, but it ends in "y". The speaker says "supplies", which ends in "ies".
Correct answer: goals

Explanation: Here you hear "environmental goals." You need a word that comes after environmental.

Meaning: "goals" means targets the department tries to reach for the environment.

Wrong options:

  • goasl: Two letters are in the wrong order. Write "goals". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • goal: "goal" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "goals", so write the "s".
Correct answer: sustainability

Explanation: The speaker says "sustainability workshops." You need a word for a topic, and it ends in ity.

Meaning: "sustainability" means actions that protect the environment for the future.

Wrong options:

  • sustanability: It leaves out the "i". The right spelling is "sustainability". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
