Meaning: "theme" means the subject or topic being discussed.

Wrong options:

• thema: It has "a" where the word has "e". Check the letters: "theme". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.

Correct answer: field

Explanation: On the recording you hear "working in this field for over". It comes after "this", so you need a word for a thing.

Meaning: "field" means an area of work or study.

Wrong options:

• feild: Two letters are in the wrong order. Write "field". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.

Correct answer: pleasing

Explanation: Listen again to "has seen some pleasing changes". You need a describing word that ends in ing.

Meaning: "pleasing" means nice or giving a good feeling.

Wrong options:

• pleaseing: It adds an extra "e". The right spelling is "pleasing". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
• pleased: "pleased" is a close word, but it ends in "ed". The speaker says "pleasing", which ends in "ing".

Correct answer: storage

Explanation: Here you hear "hygiene in food preparation and storage". The sentence lists two items, so you need a word for a thing.

Meaning: "storage" means the safe keeping of food.

Wrong options:

• storag: It leaves out the "e". Check the letters: "storage". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
• store: "store" is a close word, but it ends in "e". The speaker says "storage", which ends in "age".

Correct answer: fundamental

Explanation: The speaker says "some fundamental misunderstandings about the subject". It is a describing word that ends in al.

Meaning: "fundamental" means very basic or important.

Wrong options:

• fundemental: It has "e" where the word has "a". The right spelling is "fundamental". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
