Um, I’m responsible for student to the college and I use a computer system to help process student enrollments and to do the . But it doesn’t really suit the way we work these days. It’s over ten years old and although it was fine when it was first , it is just not good enough now. 20 years ago, the college was quite small and we didn’t have the number of students and that we have now. There’s a lot more data now and it sometimes seems the system has but, in fact, it just takes ages to go from one to the next.

Result:

A.I. Explanation:

Correct answer: admissions
Explanation: Listen again to "student admissions to the college". It comes after "student", so you need a word for a thing.
Meaning: "admissions" means the process of allowing students into the college.
Wrong options:
admisions: It leaves out the "s". The right spelling is "admissions". Every letter must be correct to get the mark.
admission: "admission" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "admissions", so write the "s".
Correct answer: timetabling
Explanation: Here you hear "do the timetabling". After "do the" you need a word that ends in ing.
Meaning: "timetabling" means making the class schedule.
Wrong options:
timetableing: It adds an extra "e". Write "timetabling". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
timetables: "timetables" is a close word, but it ends in "es". The speaker says "timetabling", which ends in "ing".
Correct answer: introduced
Explanation: The speaker says "when it was first introduced". This already happened, so the word ends in ed.
Meaning: "introduced" means brought in or started at an earlier time.
Wrong options:
introdused: It has "s" where the word has "c". Write "introduced". Only the exact spelling gets the mark.
introducted: "introducted" is a close word, but it ends in "ted". The speaker says "introduced", which ends in "ed".
Correct answer: tutors
Explanation: You hear "the number of students and tutors". After "and" you need more than one, so add s.
Meaning: "tutors" means teachers who help small groups of students.
Wrong options:
tutorrs: It adds an extra "r". Check the letters: "tutors". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
tutor: "tutor" has no "s" at the end. The speaker says "tutors", so write the "s".
Correct answer: crashed
Explanation: Listen for "the system has crashed but". This already happened, so the word ends in ed.
Meaning: "crashed" means stopped working suddenly.
Wrong options:
crased: It leaves out the "h". Check the letters: "crashed". A small spelling mistake loses the mark.
crash: "crash" is missing the ending. The speaker says "crashed", with "ed" at the end.
Correct answer: screen
Explanation: On the recording you hear "from one screen to the next". It comes after "one", so you need a word for a thing.
Meaning: "screen" means the view on the computer or monitor.
Wrong options:
scene: This is a different word and does not mean the computer view.
