Correct answer: introduction

Explanation: Listen again to "giving a brief introduction to". It comes after 'brief', so it is a thing.

Meaning: "introduction" means a short talk that starts the course.

Wrong options:

  • intorduction: Two letters are in the wrong order. Write "introduction". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • introducton: It leaves out the "i". Write "introduction". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
Correct answer: virtual

Explanation: Here you hear "looking at the virtual platform". It is a describing word for the platform, ends in al.

Meaning: "virtual" means online or not in a physical place.

Wrong options:

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

Meaning: "interaction" means communication or activity between people.

Wrong options:

  • interation: It leaves out the "c". Check the letters: "interaction". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
