Meaning: "sounds" means noises you can hear.

Wrong options:

• soudns: Two letters are in the wrong order. Check the letters: "sounds". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
• sound: "sound" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "sounds", so write the "s".

Correct answer: student

Explanation: Here you hear "the grimace that one student makes". It comes after "one", so you need a word for a single person.

Meaning: "student" means a person who is learning in class.

Wrong options:

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

Correct answer: distant

Explanation: The speaker says "the ringing of distant fire engine". It tells how far, so the word ends in ant.

Meaning: "distant" means far away.

Wrong options:

• distnat: Two letters are in the wrong order. Write "distant". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
• distance: "distance" is a close word, but it ends in "ce". The speaker says "distant", which ends in "t".

Correct answer: doing

Explanation: You hear "what a teacher is doing than what". It comes after "is", so the word ends in ing.

Meaning: "doing" means the actions someone is performing.

Wrong options:

• doeing: It adds an extra "e". Write "doing". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
• done: After "is" the sentence needs an ing form showing action now, not "done".

Correct answer: experiments

Explanation: Listen for "during experiments or when". After "during" you need more than one activity, so the word ends in s.

Meaning: "experiments" means practical tests or demonstrations.

Wrong options:

• experiements: It adds an extra "e". Write "experiments". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
• experiment: "experiment" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "experiments", so write the "s".
