Meaning: "orientation" means an event to introduce new students to campus life.

Wrong options:

• orientaton: It leaves out the "i". Check the letters: "orientation". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
• oration: This is a different word meaning a speech, not a program for new students.

Correct answer: crucial

Explanation: Here you hear "are crucial for helping". It comes before "for", so you need a describing word that ends in al.

Meaning: "crucial" means very important.

Wrong options:

• crutial: It has "t" where the word has "c". Write "crucial". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
• critical: This is a different word and not the exact word used here.

Correct answer: smoothly

Explanation: The speaker says "transition smoothly into". You need a word that tells how, so it ends in ly.

Meaning: "smoothly" means without problems or with ease.

Wrong options:

• smothly: It leaves out the "o". The right spelling is "smoothly". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
• smooth: "smooth" is missing the ending. The speaker says "smoothly", with "ly" at the end.

Correct answer: welcomed

Explanation: You hear "feel welcomed and prepared". It comes before "and", so the word ends in ed.

Meaning: "welcomed" means made to feel wanted or accepted.

Wrong options:

• welcommed: It adds an extra "m". Write "welcomed". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
• welcome: "welcome" is missing the ending. The speaker says "welcomed", with "d" at the end.
