This is a Section 4 Listening. I chose this Listening in order to show you why hyphens are NOT important in Listening gap-fill summaries.

There are 3 main types of words in gapfill summaries:

1) Words ending with a suffix like '-tion' or '-sion'

2) Commodities or materials like wool, gold, tea or sugar.

3) Irregular words like plurals ending in y/ies or irregular word forms like poor/poverty.
