Correct answer: frequently

Explanation: The speaker says "Local farmers frequently experiment". You need a word that tells how often, it ends in ly.

Meaning: "frequently" means often.

Wrong options:

  • freqently: It leaves out the "u". Check the letters: "frequently". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • frequent: "frequent" is missing the ending. The speaker says "frequently", with "ly" at the end.
Correct answer: styles

Explanation: You hear "Different styles of farming". It comes after "Different", so you need more than one and do not forget s.

Meaning: "styles" means kinds or types.

Wrong options:

  • stlyes: Two letters are in the wrong order. The right spelling is "styles". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • style: "style" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "styles", so write the "s".
Correct answer: farms

Explanation: Listen for "Many farms now offer". It follows "Many", so you need more than one and add s.

Meaning: "farms" means places where crops are grown.

Wrong options:

  • farmes: It adds an extra "e". Check the letters: "farms". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • farm: "farm" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "farms", so write the "s".
Correct answer: fresh

Explanation: On the recording you hear "They pack fresh vegetables into". It comes before "vegetables", so you need a describing word for the vegetables.

Meaning: "fresh" means recently picked, not old.

Wrong options:

  • frehsh: It adds an extra "h". The right spelling is "fresh". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • freshly: "freshly" has an extra "ly" at the end. The speaker says "fresh".
Correct answer: box

Explanation: Listen again to "into a box for families". It comes after "a", so you need a word for a thing or container.

Meaning: "box" means a container used to hold items.

Wrong options:

  • boc: It has "c" where the word has "x". Check the letters: "box". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
