Fill in the blank spaces below with appropriate terms from the text you have just read.

I'm going to buy some books with the gift voucher 1 my mother gave me.

The man who lives on the floor above 2 me wears heavy boots and moves his furniture a lot.
1 gift voucher: This is correct. A "gift voucher" is a certificate that can be used instead of money to purchase items in a shop. Example: "When you don't know what to give someone for their birthday, gift vouchers are an easy option."
2 above: This is correct. The preposition "above" is used for spatial relations where one thing is regarded as overhead another. Example: "My grandfather has hung a lucky horse shoe above the door to his cabin".
