Instructions ›
You will hear a recording of an urban developer discussing a new mixed-use development project in the city. Type the missing words in each blank.
* Fill in the missing words into the blank fields
The  latest  urban  development  project,  Riverside  Quarter,  aims  to  blend  residential,  commercial,  and  recreational  spaces  harmoniously.  Situated  along  the  river,  the  development  promises  stunning  views  and  easy  access  to    spaces.  Central  to  our  design  philosophy  is  creating  a  community  that  supports    living  practices.  This  includes  integrating  renewable  energy  sources,  promoting  pedestrian  and  bicycle  paths  over  vehicular  traffic,  and  incorporating  green  roofs  on  buildings.  The  commercial  spaces  will  host  a  mix  of  local  businesses,  from  cafes  to  bookshops,  fostering  a  vibrant    atmosphere.  Riverside  Quarter  is  not  just  about  providing  housing;  it's  about  creating  a  lifestyle  that  values  connectivity,  ,  and  community  engagement.

Correct answer: green

Explanation: You hear "easy access to green spaces." It follows "to" so you need a word for a thing.

Meaning: "green" means plants, grass, or natural areas in a city.

Wrong options:

  • grean: It has "a" where the word has "e". Write "green". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • greens: "greens" has an extra "s" at the end. The speaker says "green", with no "s".
Correct answer: sustainable

Explanation: Listen for "supports sustainable living practices." You need a describing word, it ends in able.

Meaning: "sustainable" means able to continue without harming the environment.

Wrong options:

  • sustaintable: It adds an extra "t". Check the letters: "sustainable". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • sustaining: "sustaining" is a close word, but it ends in "ing". The speaker says "sustainable", which ends in "able".
Correct answer: community

Explanation: On the recording you hear "a vibrant community". It comes after 'a vibrant', so you need a word for people.

Meaning: "community" means the people who live, work, or meet in one area.

Wrong options:

  • comunity: It leaves out the "m". Write "community". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • communal: "communal" is a close word, but it ends in "al". The speaker says "community", which ends in "ity".
Correct answer: sustainability

Explanation: Listen again to "values connectivity, sustainability." The word ends in ity.

Meaning: "sustainability" means keeping resources and life healthy for the future.

Wrong options:

  • sustainibility: It has "i" where the word has "a". Write "sustainability". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • sustainable: "sustainable" is a close word, but it ends in "le". The speaker says "sustainability", which ends in "ility".
