Instructions ›
You will hear a recording. Type the missing words in each blank.
* Fill in the missing words into the blank fields
Migrant  children  who  do    schools  in  cities  usually  get  a  worse  education  than  their  city-born  .  State  schools  that  accept  migrant  pupils  often  operate  what  Pei-chia  Lan  of  National  Taiwan  University  refers  to  as  ‘apartheid  school  ’.  In  these,  migrant  children  are  taught  separately  from  ones  in  the  same  school,  and  are  even  kept  apart  from  them  in  the  playground.

Correct answer: attend

Explanation: Listen again to "who do attend schools". It follows "do", so you need an action word.

Meaning: "attend" means to go to a place regularly, like school.

Wrong options:

  • atend: It leaves out the "t". Check the letters: "attend". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • attends: "attends" has an extra "s" at the end. The speaker says "attend", with no "s".
Correct answer: counterparts

Explanation: Here you hear "their city-born counterparts". The word after "city-born" must show more than one person.

Meaning: "counterparts" means people in the same role or position elsewhere.

Wrong options:

  • countparts: It leaves out the "er". Write "counterparts". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
  • counterpart: "counterpart" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "counterparts", so write the "s".
Correct answer: models

Explanation: The speaker says "apartheid school models". You need a word for types, so do not forget the s at the end.

Meaning: "models" means different types or arrangements here.

Wrong options:

  • modles: Two letters are in the wrong order. Check the letters: "models". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
  • model: "model" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "models", so write the "s".
Correct answer: urban

Explanation: You hear "separately from urban ones". It comes before "ones", so you need a word for city people.

Meaning: "urban" means from the city or related to the city.

Wrong options:

  • urbun: It has "u" where the word has "a". The right spelling is "urban". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
  • rural: This word means the opposite, about the countryside, not the city.
