Instructions ›
You will hear a recording. Type the missing words in each blank.
* Fill in the missing words into the blank fields
Doctors  have  been  concerned  for  a  long  time  about  people  googling  their  symptoms.  There's  this  term  "Dr.  Google,"  which  is  really  frustrating  to  a  lot  of  ,  because  people  come  in  and  think  that  they  know  what  they  have  without  having  the  actual    or  context,  just  by  having  looked  up,  "I  have  a  headache.  What  does  it  mean?"  GPT  software  is  much  better  at  actually  being  accurate  in    what  patients  have  and  asking  sometimes  follow-up  questions  that  will  help  it  further  hone  in  on  the  correct  diagnosis.  Companies  are  starting  to  study  this.  And    research  suggests  the  AIs  are  surprisingly  accurate.  Studies  have  shown  that  they  work  better  than  online  symptom  checkers—which  are  websites  that  let  you  input  your  symptoms  and  spit  out  a  diagnosis.  They're  also  better  than  some    humans.

Correct answer: physicians

Explanation: Listen again to "a lot of physicians". After "a lot of" you need more than one, so do not forget the s at the end.

Meaning: "physicians" means doctors.

Wrong options:

  • physcians: It leaves out the "i". Write "physicians". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • physician: "physician" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "physicians", so write the "s".
Correct answer: expertise

Explanation: Here you hear "the actual expertise or". It comes after "the actual", so you need a word for a thing.

Meaning: "expertise" means special knowledge or skill in a field.

Wrong options:

  • expertize: It has "z" where the word has "s". Check the letters: "expertise". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • experience: Experience is what happened to you, not the specific skill.
Correct answer: determining

Explanation: The speaker says "accurate in determining what". You need an action word that ends in ing.

Meaning: "determining" means finding out or working out what is true.

Wrong options:

  • determing: It leaves out the "in". Check the letters: "determining". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • deciding: Deciding means choosing, not finding a medical cause.
Correct answer: preliminary

Explanation: You hear "preliminary research suggests". It comes before research, so you need a describing word that ends in ary.

Meaning: "preliminary" means early or first, before the main work.

Wrong options:

  • prelimary: It leaves out the "in". Write "preliminary". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • primary: Primary means main, not early or first.
Correct answer: untrained

Explanation: Listen for "some untrained humans". It comes before humans, so you need a describing word that ends in ed.

Meaning: "untrained" means without training or formal instruction.

Wrong options:

  • untrined: It leaves out the "a". Write "untrained". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • trained: Trained means the opposite, it has skill or instruction.
