Meaning: "water" means the water where eggs are laid.

Wrong options:

• watter: It adds an extra "t". Write "water". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
• waters: "waters" has an extra "s" at the end. The speaker says "water", with no "s".

Correct answer: surface

Explanation: Listen for "down below the surface and". It follows "below the", so you need the top layer of water.

Meaning: "surface" means the top layer of the water.

Wrong options:

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

Correct answer: predatory

Explanation: On the recording you hear "has the same predatory mode of". You need a describing word about hunting.

Meaning: "predatory" means hunting other small animals for food.

Wrong options:

• preditory: It has "i" where the word has "a". The right spelling is "predatory". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
• predator: "predator" is missing the ending. The speaker says "predatory", with "y" at the end.

Correct answer: bottom

Explanation: Listen again to "prey at the bottom of". It comes after "the", so you need the lowest part of the pond.

Meaning: "bottom" means the lowest part under the water.

Wrong options:

• botom: It leaves out the "t". Check the letters: "bottom". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
• bottoms: "bottoms" has an extra "s" at the end. The speaker says "bottom", with no "s".

Correct answer: swim

Explanation: Here you hear "also swim by movements of". It follows "also", so you need the plain word for the action.

Meaning: "swim" means to move through water using the body.

Wrong options:

• swims: "swims" has an extra "s" at the end. The speaker says "swim", with no "s".
