Instructions ›
You will hear a recording. Type the missing words in each blank.
* Fill in the missing words into the blank fields
The  impact  of  climate  change  on  our  planet  is  becoming  increasingly  .  Rising  temperatures,  more  frequent  extreme  weather  events,  and  melting  glaciers  are  just  a  few  of  the  signs  that  our  climate  is  .  To  combat  this  crisis,  it  is  essential  for  individuals,  communities,  and  governments  to  take    actions.  One  of  the  most  effective  ways  to  reduce  greenhouse  gas  emissions  is  to  transition  to  renewable  sources  of  energy,  such  as  solar  and  wind  power.  Additionally,    efforts,  like  reforestation  and  protecting  endangered  species,  can  help  maintain  the  balance  of  our  ecosystems.  In  the  face  of  this  global  challenge,  cooperation  and    action  are  crucial  to  safeguarding  our  planet  for  future  generations.

Correct answer: evident

Explanation: On the recording you hear "increasingly evident". The word follows "increasingly", so use a describing word for a thing.

Meaning: "evident" means clear or easy to see.

Wrong options:

  • evidant: It has "a" where the word has "e". Write "evident". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • evidently: "evidently" has an extra "ly" at the end. The speaker says "evident".
Correct answer: changing

Explanation: Listen again to "our climate is changing". You need an action word showing ongoing change, so it ends in ing.

Meaning: "changing" means becoming different over time.

Wrong options:

  • changin: It leaves out the "g". Check the letters: "changing". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • changed: "changed" is a close word, but it ends in "ed". The speaker says "changing", which ends in "ing".
Correct answer: proactive

Explanation: Here you hear "to take proactive actions". The word comes before "actions", so pick a describing word.

Meaning: "proactive" means acting before problems happen.

Wrong options:

  • proactve: It leaves out the "i". The right spelling is "proactive". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • active: active misses the pro part and changes the meaning.
Correct answer: conservation

Explanation: The speaker says "Additionally, conservation efforts". You need a word for a thing, person or idea.

Meaning: "conservation" means protection and care of nature.

Wrong options:

  • conservaton: It leaves out the "i". Check the letters: "conservation". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • conserve: "conserve" is a close word, but it ends in "e". The speaker says "conservation", which ends in "ation".
Correct answer: collective

Explanation: You hear "cooperation and collective action". The phrase needs a word for shared effort by a group.

Meaning: "collective" means done by a group together.

Wrong options:

  • collectve: It leaves out the "i". The right spelling is "collective". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • collect: "collect" is missing the ending. The speaker says "collective", with "ive" at the end.
