Correct answer: simple

Explanation: Listen for "prefer simple tasks at". It comes before "tasks", so you need a describing word that shows easy.

Meaning: "simple" means not difficult or not complicated.

Wrong options:

  • simpel: Two letters are in the wrong order. Check the letters: "simple". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • simply: "simply" is a close word, but it ends in "y". The speaker says "simple", which ends in "e".
Correct answer: complex

Explanation: On the recording you hear "enjoy more complex challenges". It follows "more", so you need a describing word that can follow more.

Meaning: "complex" means not simple, with many parts or hard to do.

Wrong options:

  • complax: It has "a" where the word has "e". Write "complex". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • simple: Simple is the opposite. The sentence talks about harder challenges.
Correct answer: work

Explanation: Listen again to "types of work are". It comes after "types of", so you need a general word for tasks or jobs.

Meaning: "work" means tasks or things to do at a job or project.

Wrong options:

  • wrok: Two letters are in the wrong order. The right spelling is "work". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • works: "works" has an extra "s" at the end. The speaker says "work", with no "s".
