Meaning: "investment" means money put into business to make profit.

Wrong options:

• invstment: It leaves out the "e". The right spelling is "investment". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
• investments: "investments" has an extra "s" at the end. The speaker says "investment", with no "s".

Correct answer: potential

Explanation: On the recording you hear "huge market potential". The word before is "market", so the sentence needs a thing.

Meaning: "potential" means possible future size or ability.

Wrong options:

• potentail: Two letters are in the wrong order. The right spelling is "potential". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
• potentially: "potentially" has an extra "ly" at the end. The speaker says "potential".

Correct answer: stable

Explanation: Listen again to "and stable government and society". You need a describing word that ends in able.

Meaning: "stable" means steady and not changing much.

Wrong options:

• stabel: Two letters are in the wrong order. Check the letters: "stable". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
• stability: "stability" is a close word, but it ends in "ility". The speaker says "stable", which ends in "le".

Correct answer: capital

Explanation: Here you hear "foreign capital into China". Use a money word after "foreign".

Meaning: "capital" means money used for business or investment.

Wrong options:

• capitol: "capitol" is a close word, but it ends in "ol". The speaker says "capital", which ends in "al".
• capitel: It has "e" where the word has "a". Write "capital". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.

Correct answer: amount

Explanation: The speaker says "GDP will amount to US $4.8 trillion". After "will" the sentence needs an action word meaning reach.

Meaning: "amount" means to reach a total of a number.

Wrong options:

• ammount: It adds an extra "m". The right spelling is "amount". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
