Answer Explanation: The answer means a document or summary made specially for one person that gives information about their health. Reason For Correctness: The correct answer is "(personalized) report" because the speaker explains that when you use the assessment tool on the Wellness Register, you will "receive a personalised report on your current state of health". In the notes, "get" matches "receive", and "present health condition" matches "current state of health". |

Answer Explanation: The answer "calculators" refers to digital counting tools on a website that help users calculate health-related numbers, such as calories or fitness scores. Reason For Correctness: The correct answer is "calculators" because the speaker explains what members get when they join BeWell Online. Under the "Membership" section, the notes mention being able to use various tools and another feature online. The speaker explicitly states that joining gives access to "a whole suite of interactive tools and calculators". |
| Q15 | skill level | Sports science and fitness experts have developed programmes that will enable you to take on a specific sporting challenge or fitness goal adapted to your particular ambition and skill level | Excerpt/Transcript Explanation: The transcript states that fitness experts create training plans that match each user's specific goals and their personal level of ability or skill. Answer Explanation: The answer "skill level" refers to how good or experienced a person is at doing a sport or exercise. Reason For Correctness: The correct answer is "skill level" because the speaker explains that the Active Sport programmes are designed and customized to match each person's individual ambition and skill level. In the notes, the phrase "in accordance with personal objective and [input]" matches the transcript's phrase "adapted to your particular ambition and skill level." |
| Q16 | Stop Smoking | The four courses in most demand are: Stop Smoking, which will give you strategies, email support and reliable tools and resources to help you quit smoking forever | Excerpt/Transcript Explanation: The transcript states that one of the most popular courses in the Active Care project is called "Stop Smoking", which provides tools and help to stop smoking permanently. Answer Explanation: The answer refers to a course designed to help people quit or give up cigarette smoking. Reason For Correctness: The correct answer is "Stop Smoking" because the speaker lists the four main courses under the "Active Care" project that cater to specific health needs. The very first course mentioned alongside Glucose Management and Heart Health is "Stop Smoking". |
| Q17 | Back Care | BeWell Online also features an Active Care project. This caters for individuals who want to address specific health needs. The four courses in most demand are: Stop Smoking, which will give you strategies, email support and reliable tools and resources to help you quit smoking forever. Then there is Glucose Management, a self-care programme designed for people with high blood sugar, which will help you manage your condition and improve your overall health. Obviously, Heart Health has a large following—it's basically all about lifestyle modification where you will take a course of action with the aim of improving your cardiovascular health. Those of you who suffer from neck and/or back pain will benefit from the Back Care programme—but we're talking about minor troubles here—anything major should be attended to by a qualified physician in person | Excerpt/Transcript Explanation: The transcript explains that the Active Care project offers four main courses for specific health issues: Stop Smoking, Glucose Management, Heart Health, and Back Care. Answer Explanation: The answer "Back Care" means a programme created to help take care of and relieve minor pain in your neck and back. Reason For Correctness: The correct answer is "Back Care" because the speaker lists the four most popular courses under the "Active Care" project. These four courses are "Stop Smoking", "Glucose Management", "Heart Health", and the "Back Care programme". Therefore, "Back Care" completes the list in the notes. |
| Q18 | changes | It's a telephone-based service that will give you the extra support, motivation and techniques that will provide the impetus for you to bring about permanent changes | Excerpt/Transcript Explanation: The transcript explains that the telephone support service helps people achieve long-lasting changes in their lives. Answer Explanation: The answer "changes" means differences or new habits that someone creates in their life. Reason For Correctness: The correct answer is "changes" because the speaker explains that the coaching service gives motivation and techniques to help people make "permanent changes". In the question, the phrase "long-lasting" means the same as "permanent", and "make" matches "bring about". Therefore, the missing single word is "changes". |
| Q19 | serious | Well, this service is really for those of you who have serious health concerns like diabetes, arthritis or high blood pressure | Excerpt/Transcript Explanation: The transcript explains that the coaching program is meant for people dealing with serious health problems or illnesses. Answer Explanation: The answer "serious" refers to severe, significant, or major health issues that need special medical attention. Reason For Correctness: The correct answer is "serious" because the speaker asks who can use the coaching service and explains that it is designed for individuals who have "serious health concerns" (diseases) such as diabetes, arthritis, or high blood pressure. Therefore, the word "serious" completes the sentence accurately. |
| Q20 | plan | Your health coach will provide assistance as you develop a plan and maintain regular contact over a period of six months to help you stay on track | Excerpt/Transcript Explanation: The transcript explains that your health coach will help you create a plan and stay focused on following it. Answer Explanation: The answer "plan" means a set of decided steps or actions to reach a goal. Reason For Correctness: The correct answer is "plan" because the speaker mentions that a health coach will assist you as you create or create a plan and keep you on track.
