Instructions ›
You will hear a recording. Type the missing words in each blank.
* Fill in the missing words into the blank fields
At  the  art  gallery,    painting  on  display  captured  the  attention  of  visitors.  The  artist  used  bold  techniques  to  create  dramatic  effects.  One  piece  featured  a    portrait  of  a  person’s    that  filled  the  entire  canvas.  The  lighting  in  the  artwork  created  a  striking    across  the  image.  This  made  the  painting  look  more  realistic  and  emotional.  Many  people  admired  the  creativity.

Correct answer: every

Explanation: Here you hear "At the art gallery, every painting". Comes before painting, so you need a word for more than one.

Meaning: "every" means all of them, each one.

Correct answer: huge

Explanation: The speaker says "featured a huge portrait". It comes after "a", so you need a size describing word.

Meaning: "huge" means very large.

Wrong options:

  • huuge: It adds an extra "u". Check the letters: "huge". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
Correct answer: face

Explanation: You hear "person's face that filled". It comes after "person's", so you need a word for a thing on the head.

Meaning: "face" means the front part of the head with eyes and mouth.

Wrong options:

  • fase: It has "s" where the word has "c". The right spelling is "face". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
Correct answer: shadow

Explanation: Listen for "striking shadow across the". You need a word for a dark shape from light, so the word ends in ow.

Meaning: "shadow" means a dark shape made when light is blocked.

Wrong options:

  • shaddow: It adds an extra "d". Check the letters: "shadow". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • shade: "shade" is a close word, but it ends in "e". The speaker says "shadow", which ends in "ow".
