Instructions ›
You will hear a recording. Type the missing words in each blank.
* Fill in the missing words into the blank fields
Many  governments  provide    to  support  farmers  in  growing  organic  crops.  This  financial  help  encourages  sustainable  agriculture.  It  also  ensures  that  healthy  food  is    to  more  people.  These  programs  are  essential  for  rural  development.  Sustainable  development  in  agriculture  is  a  farming  system  that  meets  present  food  and    needs  without  compromising  the  ability  of  future  generations  to  meet  their  own  needs.  It  involves  balancing  environmental,  economic,  and  social  concerns  through  practices  that    natural  resources,  are  economically  viable  for  farmers,  and  enhance  the  quality  of  life  for  both  farmers  and  society.

Correct answer: subsidies

Explanation: On the recording you hear "provide subsidies to support". It is a money help word, do not forget the s at the end.

Meaning: "subsidies" means money help from the government.

Wrong options:

  • subsides: It leaves out the "i". Check the letters: "subsidies". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • subsidy: "subsidy" is a close word, but it ends in "y". The speaker says "subsidies", which ends in "ies".
Correct answer: available

Explanation: Listen again to "is available to more people". It comes after "is", so you need a describing word and it ends in able.

Meaning: "available" means able to be had or used by people.

Wrong options:

  • availble: It leaves out the "a". The right spelling is "available". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • availability: "availability" is a close word, but it ends in "ility". The speaker says "available", which ends in "le".
Correct answer: fiber / fibre

Explanation: Here you hear "food and fiber needs". It is a word for material like cloth, spelled fiber here. You can write "fiber" or "fibre". Both get the mark.

Meaning: "fiber" means material from plants used for clothes and diet.

Correct answer: conserve

Explanation: The speaker says "conserve natural resources". It comes before "natural", so you need an action word, starts with con.

Meaning: "conserve" means to protect and save for future use.

Wrong options:

  • conserv: It leaves out the "e". Write "conserve". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • conserves: "conserves" has an extra "s" at the end. The speaker says "conserve", with no "s".
