Meaning: "criticisms" means complaints or negative points about something.

Wrong options:

• critiscisms: It adds an extra "s". Write "criticisms". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
• criticism: "criticism" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "criticisms", so write the "s".

Correct answer: element

Explanation: On the recording you hear "collaborative element and digital". It comes after "collaborative", so you need a word for a thing.

Meaning: "element" means a part or piece of the worksheet.

Wrong options:

• elements: "elements" has an extra "s" at the end. The speaker says "element", with no "s".

Correct answer: innovators

Explanation: Listen again to "students as design innovators". It comes after "design", so you need a word for people and more than one.

Meaning: "innovators" means people who create new ideas or designs.

Wrong options:

• innovaters: It has "e" where the word has "o". Check the letters: "innovators". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
• innovator: "innovator" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "innovators", so write the "s".

Correct answer: Colloquial

Explanation: Here you hear "Colloquial judgments are evident". The sentence needs a describing word meaning informal speech.

Meaning: "Colloquial" means informal or spoken language, not formal writing.

Wrong options:

• Colloqial: It leaves out the "u". Write "Colloquial". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
• colloquially: "colloquially" has an extra "ly" at the end. The speaker says "Colloquial".
