Meaning: "outlook" means a person's view or attitude toward life.

Wrong options:

• outlok: It leaves out the "o". The right spelling is "outlook". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
• outcome: "outcome" means a result, not a view of life.

Correct answer: self-consciousness

Explanation: The speaker says "overcame any self-consciousness about". You need a word for a feeling, it ends in ness.

Meaning: "self-consciousness" means feeling awkward or worried about yourself.

Wrong options:

• selfconsiousness: It leaves out the "-" and it leaves out the "c". The right spelling is "self-consciousness". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.

Correct answer: chronic

Explanation: You hear "beset with chronic health problems". This needs a describing word that ends in ic.

Meaning: "chronic" means long lasting or ongoing.

Wrong options:

• chronnic: It adds an extra "n". Write "chronic". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.

Correct answer: physical

Explanation: Listen for "regular physical exercise". It comes before "exercise", so use a word for the body.

Meaning: "physical" means related to the body.

Wrong options:

• phisical: It has "i" where the word has "y". Check the letters: "physical". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.

Correct answer: protective

Explanation: On the recording you hear "the protective roles of". You need a describing word that ends in ive.

Meaning: "protective" means helping to guard or keep safe.

Wrong options:

• protecting: "protecting" is a close word, but it ends in "ng". The speaker says "protective", which ends in "ve".
