Welcome to spelling test 28. You're going to hear 10 words that are, more or less, quite common in daily life, and I'd like you to spell them. This test and all future tests will cover all forms of words (nouns, adjectives, verbs and adverbs), from a number of different contexts.
You're going to hear each word twice and an example sentence containing the word. We suggest that you write down your answers so that you can check them with the answers below. If the video is too fast, please press pause at any time during the test.
In every test, there will be some new words that you might not know and we encourage you to look them up in a good dictionary (e.g. Cambridge Dictionary).
Good luck and see you soon!
