Part 1: Vocabulary Matching (a–j to 1–10)

We need to match each word/phrase with its correct definition.

Let’s go one by one:

a. Mental illness
→ This is a condition that affects thinking, behavior, or emotions.
Look at definition 3: “A condition which causes serious disorder in a person’s behaviour or thinking.” ✔
→ Match: a – 3

b. Survey
→ A survey collects opinions or data from people.
Definition 8: “A sampling of facts, figures, or opinions used to reveal and analyse information.” ✔
→ Match: b – 8

c. Suffer
→ To feel pain or distress.
Definition 9: “To feel pain or great distress.” ✔
→ Match: c – 9

d. Wake-up call
→ Something that alerts you to a problem so you can fix it.
Definition 1: “A thing that alerts people to an unsatisfactory situation and prompts them to remedy it.” ✔
→ Match: d – 1

e. Support

Definition 10: “Assistance or help.” ✔
→ Match: e – 10

f. Treatment
→ Medical care to cure or manage illness.
Definition 5: “The use of medicines, surgery, etc., in curing a person of a disorder.” ✔
→ Match: f – 5

g. Middle-aged
→ Usually refers to ages around 45 to 65.
Definition 6: “(of a person) aged about 45 to 65.” ✔
→ Match: g – 6

h. Charity
→ An organization or fund that helps others.
Definition 2: “A charitable fund, organization, foundation, or institution.” ✔

i. Figures

Definition 4: “An amount or value expressed in numbers.” ✔

Part 2: Listening and Reading – Fill in the blanks

Words to use:
Researchers, Illness, Adults, charity, support, doctor, mental health, suffered, depression, per cent

Text:

> Britain’s health service said that up to half of ______ have suffered from a mental illness.
→ “Adults” fits here → Adults

> The Health Survey for England shows that 25 per cent of adults have had a ______ problem
→ “mental health” problem → mental health

> and 18 per cent believe they have ______ from one but have not seen a ______.
→ “suffered” from one → suffered
→ “seen a doctor” → doctor

> A mental health expert said the survey is a "wake-up call" to make sure that people get mental health ______.
→ “support” → support

> He said: "Effective mental health treatment saves lives."
→ (no blank here)

> ______ questioned 5,000 adults and found that 26 ______ of them were diagnosed with a mental illness.
→ “Researchers” questioned → Researchers
→ “26 per cent” → per cent

> ______ was the most common form.
→ “Depression” is the most common → depression

> Women are more likely to suffer than men. Over 40 per cent of middle-aged women have had an ______ at some time in their life.
→ “illness” → illness

> A mental health ______ said: "These are shocking figures...because the scale of mental illness is already known but too often ignored."
→ “doctor” or “expert” — but “doctor” is in the word bank → doctor

Wait — we already used “doctor” earlier? Let’s check:

Used so far:
- Adults
- mental health
- suffered
- doctor (first time)
- support
- Researchers
- per cent
- depression
- illness

That’s 9 words. We have 10 blanks? Let’s count the blanks in the text:

1. half of ______ → Adults
2. had a ______ problem → mental health
3. have ______ from one → suffered
4. seen a ______ → doctor
5. get mental health ______ → support
6. ______ questioned → Researchers
7. 26 ______ of them → per cent
8. ______ was the most common → depression
9. had an ______ → illness
10. A mental health ______ said → doctor? But we already used “doctor”

Wait — maybe the last one is “expert”? But “expert” isn’t in the word bank.

Looking back at the word bank:
Researchers, Illness, Adults, charity, support, doctor, mental health, suffered, depression, per cent

We haven’t used “charity” yet.

But “charity” doesn’t fit in the last blank — “A mental health charity said…” — that actually makes sense! Charities often speak on mental health issues.

And “doctor” was used in blank 4 (“seen a doctor”), so blank 10 should be “charity”.

Let’s reassign:

Blank 4: “seen a ______” → could be “doctor” or “charity”? No — “seen a charity” doesn’t make sense. You see a doctor.

Blank 10: “A mental health ______ said” → “charity” fits perfectly — charities issue statements.

So yes — “charity” goes in blank 10.

Then what about blank 4? Still “doctor”.

So final assignment:

1. Adults
2. mental health
3. suffered
4. doctor
5. support
6. Researchers
7. per cent
8. depression
9. illness
10. charity

Perfect — all 10 words used once.
