1 annual: This is the correct answer. "Annual" means "yearly" or "every year". In the example, the ball is organised once a year, in the month of December. Here's another example: It's time for our annual belly dancing competition - who will win this year?!
2 networks: This is the correct answer. To "network" means to use social skills to gain useful contacts and make yourself known. This term is frequently used in the world of business. Note that there is a related noun, "networking". Example: "I'm going to a conference at the weekend: it will be a good networking opportunity".
3 speech: This is the right answer. A speech is a type of presentation usually given at celebrations and special events such as weddings, retirement parties etc. For example: "They have asked me to make a speech for a colleague's retirement party. I don't know what I'm going to say!"
