WEBVTT 00:00.090 --> 00:07.450 Bits of the Humber right we see that in that peer in that first sentence we're talking about the Humber 00:08.790 --> 00:10.440 and they're talking about disadvantages. 00:10.450 --> 00:15.490 Now you see the word benefits there and you say OK well maybe that might throw it off a little bit. 00:15.660 --> 00:17.890 But just look back at that paragraph. 00:18.090 --> 00:22.770 It's easy to see if you see any language that might indicate that they're also a to talk about benefits 00:22.770 --> 00:25.060 in this paragraph later on towards the end. 00:25.660 --> 00:30.180 If you scanned through for any language it means similar to benefits. 00:30.300 --> 00:34.650 I see it now because I'm now reading I'm scanning down without reading looking for a word that means 00:34.650 --> 00:35.970 the same as benefits. 00:36.240 --> 00:39.500 And I see the word already right. 00:39.510 --> 00:42.450 This is a broad prosperity. 00:42.450 --> 00:47.500 So that means we're talking about obstacles and at the end they mentioned something about prosperity. 00:47.640 --> 00:51.360 But I knew that was the right answer because that was the only answer. 00:51.400 --> 00:57.680 JOYCE They talked about obstacles and when you talk about obstacles you're talking about disadvantages. 00:58.040 --> 00:58.870 OK. 00:59.310 --> 01:01.440 Can't be any other choice. 01:01.500 --> 01:05.690 It can't be any other choice but I hope you see all we're doing this. 01:06.070 --> 01:06.660 OK. 01:06.900 --> 01:11.210 I'm not a lot of you guys don't know what you're supposed to be looking for. 01:11.220 --> 01:16.580 So number six number six that we've done number four 01:19.480 --> 01:24.090 number four is is there is going. 01:24.090 --> 01:25.230 I like them. 01:25.270 --> 01:31.530 Mark all of them what has gone before is gone. 01:31.570 --> 01:33.640 Number six is going. 01:33.670 --> 01:36.790 Those are both going to means we can't use those again. 01:36.850 --> 01:40.120 I am not going to be right now because Is that double paragraph. 01:40.510 --> 01:46.570 So I'm going to jump down to see. 01:46.670 --> 01:47.690 All right. 01:47.930 --> 01:51.770 So our first sentence the bridge was the outcome. 01:51.790 --> 01:55.500 Not that we're talking about the bridge right. 01:56.500 --> 01:59.150 This is talking about the bridge. 01:59.630 --> 02:05.000 The bridge was the outcome of over 100 years of campaigning by local interest for the construction of 02:05.000 --> 02:07.220 a bridge. 02:07.250 --> 02:07.600 All right. 02:07.640 --> 02:14.550 The second sentence the first major crossing proposal was a tunnel scheme in 1872. 02:15.020 --> 02:22.280 So this is when they first this is telling us how this paragraph is all telling us about how the bridge 02:22.280 --> 02:26.450 came into fruition right how the bridge got started. 02:26.810 --> 02:28.280 So look at the language. 02:28.280 --> 02:30.260 Look at the language of our first two sentences. 02:30.260 --> 02:33.320 Pay attention to the language. 02:33.320 --> 02:34.510 All right. 02:35.330 --> 02:39.200 Bridwell's the outcome over 100 years of campaigning. 02:39.560 --> 02:39.990 Right. 02:40.010 --> 02:46.970 And then our second sentence is talking about the first proposal and talking about it. 02:47.000 --> 02:52.010 It was our first proposal was a total scheme right before the bridge that we're talking about a tunnel 02:52.030 --> 02:52.910 scheme. 02:53.450 --> 03:03.000 But we know that this paragraph is talking about a bridge and how the bridge came about. 03:03.850 --> 03:04.410 Right. 03:04.610 --> 03:09.180 They want to be a bridge or a tunnel. 03:09.530 --> 03:17.930 So let's look and see if we could find one just talking about wanting a bridge or a tunnel a bridge 03:17.990 --> 03:19.440 or a tunnel. 03:20.270 --> 03:20.670 Right. 03:20.720 --> 03:25.370 That's what this whole paragraph is going to talk about this whole area I was going to talk about the 03:25.370 --> 03:28.800 debate between having a bridge or a tunnel. 03:28.910 --> 03:29.240 Right. 03:29.240 --> 03:37.420 We have a proposal scheme's a bridge or a tunnel system language everybody. 03:37.820 --> 03:41.520 Look we're still in any language. 03:41.860 --> 03:42.490 OK. 03:42.740 --> 03:45.490 Which was talking about a bridge or a tunnel 03:49.620 --> 03:52.200 we need what is talking about two different things. 03:52.500 --> 04:01.650 There's an answer right there are polls alternatives to ferry services right now but I know this is 04:01.650 --> 04:10.160 the answer because this is the only one that's talking about proposed alternatives a bridge or a tunnel. 04:10.380 --> 04:16.380 Right now if you were to read deeper and read every sentence of that paragraph you'll see the word Ferien 04:16.380 --> 04:25.350 there but I know this is my answer choice because the topic sentence the topic sentence tells me that 04:25.350 --> 04:30.120 this paragraph is talking about the alternative of a bridge or a tunnel. 04:30.670 --> 04:31.430 OK. 04:31.890 --> 04:38.650 So number seven I'm sorry paragraph C is for. 04:43.880 --> 04:46.530 Right and I'm doing this and going through it. 04:46.630 --> 04:53.370 I actually can go through it much much faster but I trust the strategy right. 04:53.660 --> 04:58.410 That's what it comes down to I trust the strategy I trusted. 04:58.610 --> 05:05.480 And whenever I can say whenever I run into a problem my main thing in terms of is if I run into a problem 05:05.480 --> 05:11.380 when I'm really confused then I would go ahead and maybe look at the last sentence. 05:11.620 --> 05:15.350 But so far that hasn't been necessary for me to do that. 05:16.680 --> 05:20.280 All right paragraph the. 05:20.530 --> 05:28.680 All right now look at the first two sentences and let's get an idea of what the paragraph is about government 05:28.680 --> 05:35.100 approval for the construction of a suspension bridge was finally granted in 1959 although it was not 05:35.100 --> 05:43.700 until 1973 that the work finally began and the reasons why a suspension bridge was chosen were twofold. 05:43.950 --> 05:45.450 Here we go. 05:45.690 --> 05:48.720 Now we know what this paragraph is going to talk about. 05:48.780 --> 05:54.090 This paragraph is going to talk about the reasons why a bridge was chosen. 05:54.300 --> 05:58.030 A reason why in the next sentence I don't you I haven't read it but it's saying firstly. 05:58.080 --> 05:58.870 Right. 05:58.950 --> 06:03.450 So I know there's a Firstly there's going to be a Secondly But they're talking about the reasons why 06:03.480 --> 06:09.260 it's a suspension bridge was chosen in were twofold. 06:09.270 --> 06:13.950 They're going to tell us two reasons two reasons why they chose to build a bridge. 06:14.070 --> 06:18.510 That's what this whole paragraph is talking about I don't need to read any more. 06:19.310 --> 06:19.640 Right. 06:19.680 --> 06:21.090 I don't need to read any more. 06:21.090 --> 06:25.970 I know what the paragraph is talking about the reasons why the bridge was built. 06:26.070 --> 06:31.860 So now let's go ahead and take a look and we can see why. 06:31.860 --> 06:32.190 All right. 06:32.190 --> 06:35.580 So let's go ahead and take a look and see why. 06:35.580 --> 06:41.160 Reasons why it was billed reasons why was billed reasons why was billed 06:44.420 --> 06:50.590 all right reasons why you're doing something if you're talking about the reasons why you're doing something 06:51.220 --> 06:52.610 right. 06:52.880 --> 06:56.200 Are we talking about the reasons why you're doing something bad. 06:56.200 --> 07:01.360 Actually what you're going to see that one is gone which everyone else is gone already. 07:01.360 --> 07:04.640 Hold on one moment. 07:05.290 --> 07:10.450 Also number seven is actually going also. 07:10.900 --> 07:16.510 So I like to always work on paper I would actually draw a line through it. 07:17.750 --> 07:25.390 But reasons why it was built right the only one is not number one. 07:25.390 --> 07:28.320 Number two is talking about building the bridge. 07:28.330 --> 07:31.260 And that could be really close. 07:31.270 --> 07:31.690 All right. 07:31.690 --> 07:36.420 But we want to talk and he said in a language for reasons while you're doing something right. 07:36.480 --> 07:40.810 That's all I'm looking for a synonym language for reasons why you're doing good reasons while you're 07:40.810 --> 07:42.560 building. 07:43.630 --> 07:45.460 And that's language right here. 07:45.790 --> 07:52.050 An advantage and advantage of the fourth of the design for the bridge. 07:52.150 --> 07:52.840 Right. 07:53.140 --> 07:56.560 These are the Levant which has the advantage of the design of the bridge. 07:56.880 --> 07:59.860 Let's talk about the reasons why you built the bridge. 07:59.860 --> 08:04.480 The reasons why you're going to build it if you talk about the reasons why you're going to build it. 08:04.750 --> 08:09.300 If I'm telling you the reasons why you're going to build something or I'm going to do something I'm 08:09.430 --> 08:12.780 telling you the advantages of doing it right. 08:12.800 --> 08:18.430 If I if I come to you and I tell you these are the reasons why I'm going to move to the United States 08:19.630 --> 08:24.330 if I tell you that what am I also telling you the advantages of why I'm going to be doing it. 08:24.520 --> 08:25.120 OK. 08:25.420 --> 08:30.820 So that means that the is going to be choice number three. 08:30.850 --> 08:37.610 Again Scrat this strategy is not difficult to understand but is the application of this is this. 08:37.660 --> 08:39.550 Are you able to. 08:39.610 --> 08:47.460 Are you able to do you have the ability to be able to understand topic sentences and be able to. 08:47.650 --> 08:53.020 I'm sorry that that's not OK. 08:53.140 --> 08:54.790 No. 08:55.460 --> 08:55.770 All right. 08:55.810 --> 08:56.700 That's what we want there. 08:56.710 --> 09:02.650 We want to be able to understand a topic sentences. 09:02.650 --> 09:10.430 All right let's go back and look at the. 09:10.790 --> 09:11.160 All right. 09:11.210 --> 09:18.490 So when we talk about we look at those sentences work on the bridge 09:21.720 --> 09:29.310 those are first two sentences I'm actually going to do is read the first sentence work on the construction 09:29.310 --> 09:36.510 preceded for eight years during which time many thousands of tons of steel and concrete were used in 09:36.510 --> 09:42.060 upwards of 1000 workers and staff were employed at times of peak activity. 09:42.060 --> 09:48.070 So everybody what is this whole paragraph going to be talking about. 09:48.270 --> 09:48.570 Right. 09:48.570 --> 09:49.500 What is this hope here. 09:49.500 --> 09:51.270 I don't need to read more. 09:51.420 --> 09:56.320 The first sentence tells you what you're going to be talking about in this entire paragraph. 09:56.760 --> 10:01.140 They're talking about the work on the construction of the bridge. 10:01.530 --> 10:05.860 They're telling you it took a thousand tons of steel and concrete and a lot of workers. 10:05.880 --> 10:09.130 They're talking about the work on the construction. 10:09.540 --> 10:11.690 So it should be clear with this answer choice here. 10:11.730 --> 10:14.500 We've already seen what this answer choice here is. 10:14.520 --> 10:20.310 Number two building the bridge work on the construction building construction work on the construction 10:20.310 --> 10:24.820 building the bridge construction of the bridge sending them language. 10:25.500 --> 10:34.200 That means he is number two. 10:34.240 --> 10:35.050 All right. 10:35.500 --> 10:38.240 And let's look at G. 10:41.250 --> 10:46.900 All right the bridge opened up both socially and economically. 10:46.910 --> 10:48.230 All right look at that first sentence. 10:48.230 --> 10:52.670 I guess I should highlight it for you because I can do that. 10:52.670 --> 11:01.450 I guess I guess I guess I can do the bridge opened up both socially and economically to previously remote 11:01.530 --> 11:08.320 and insular areas of England and the improvement in communication enabled the area to realize its potential 11:08.910 --> 11:11.200 in commercial industrial and tourist development. 11:11.200 --> 11:17.160 All right so we know this paragraph is talking about the bridge opened up things socially and economically. 11:17.320 --> 11:17.690 Right. 11:17.690 --> 11:23.360 They were able to realize their potential for commercial industrial and tourist development. 11:23.850 --> 11:24.550 OK. 11:24.790 --> 11:31.150 That's what this paragraph is talking about opening up socially and economically improving communication 11:31.340 --> 11:34.800 realize the potential and in commercial areas. 11:34.810 --> 11:36.790 What are we talking about here everybody. 11:37.270 --> 11:39.600 Which one has sit in them language for that. 11:39.640 --> 11:42.110 Which one has set a language for that one. 11:42.460 --> 11:43.360 Right. 11:44.050 --> 11:47.960 How the bridge has contributed to region's growth. 11:48.070 --> 11:54.220 We're talking about improving communication more prosperity for the commercial. 11:54.540 --> 11:55.320 OK. 11:55.900 --> 12:04.660 Opening up socially and economically that means the last one is the letter 8 or the Roman numeral 8 12:05.420 --> 12:06.480 for paragraph G. 12:06.480 --> 12:09.040 And I went there with the typewriter. 12:09.730 --> 12:16.160 So that would be one two three and we're left with paragraph B. 12:16.540 --> 12:16.840 All right. 12:16.850 --> 12:28.840 So as we try and run across some of them out which ones haven't I crossed out of this one is gone. 12:28.840 --> 12:31.570 Also there's another one that's gone. 12:31.900 --> 12:36.210 Is that one and building the bridge is gone. 12:36.220 --> 12:38.710 These are all ones that are gone right. 12:38.710 --> 12:39.670 You're gone. 12:40.210 --> 12:45.090 So I know I'm left with opposition to the bridge rise in demand. 12:45.220 --> 12:48.400 And why ferry crossing has been difficult. 12:49.020 --> 12:49.430 OK. 12:54.870 --> 12:55.310 Right. 12:55.360 --> 13:05.170 So go back and look at B now B B is really interesting because B has two paragraphs so how do we handle 13:05.170 --> 13:06.040 it. 13:06.080 --> 13:06.990 How do we handle it. 13:06.990 --> 13:10.250 If we have two paragraphs What are we supposed to do. 13:12.690 --> 13:15.150 OK so what are we supposed to do. 13:15.150 --> 13:18.510 What are we supposed to do when we have two paragraphs. 13:18.510 --> 13:23.460 Well we read the topic sentence of the first paragraph with the topic sentence of the next paragraph 13:24.930 --> 13:25.700 right. 13:25.920 --> 13:30.090 So we have the first the first topic sentence right here. 13:31.560 --> 13:36.150 And we have the the next topic sentence. 13:36.570 --> 13:39.250 Now did the shorter ones first. 13:39.800 --> 13:45.150 And I did this one last because I like to build up a good a good head of steam. 13:45.420 --> 13:47.190 I'd like to get some some one. 13:47.190 --> 13:49.280 Some of them correct. 13:49.440 --> 13:53.930 Move through them quickly start building confidence right. 13:54.000 --> 13:58.030 So let's look at B to cater for these local. 13:58.030 --> 14:04.740 And as time progressed wider needs ferrys were provided across many of the streams flowing into the 14:04.740 --> 14:05.640 Humber. 14:05.880 --> 14:06.600 Right. 14:06.960 --> 14:18.230 So look this is what to cater to what why needs local needs and why needs they provided fairies right. 14:18.280 --> 14:26.190 Ferrys they needed Ferizi provided fairies look at the next paragraph of the New Holland ferry service 14:26.580 --> 14:31.660 then grew into a major link between the north and the South banks of the Humber. 14:32.220 --> 14:39.060 So it was talking about the growth of the ferry service right in the first period the first their first 14:39.060 --> 14:45.060 sentence tells you that they they had these fears because they were doing what catering to local and 14:45.060 --> 14:46.500 wider needs. 14:46.710 --> 14:52.920 So the whole thing is about fairies it is talking about why there was an increased need for tier firies 14:53.490 --> 14:53.970 right. 14:53.970 --> 14:56.740 They were trying to address or cater to the needs. 14:57.000 --> 14:59.520 So they provided various. 14:59.580 --> 15:04.560 So we look back at our answer choices what can we when we know the answer isn't what we know the answer 15:04.560 --> 15:08.730 is that number five is call them a bridge. 15:08.730 --> 15:10.840 Number one is tricky. 15:10.900 --> 15:13.950 You know a lot of suitors will pick number one because they see it. 15:14.100 --> 15:16.170 I see the words ferry crossing. 15:16.350 --> 15:18.220 I'm going to pick it right. 15:18.270 --> 15:21.540 It's about sit in language. 15:21.750 --> 15:25.240 Number one says ferry crossing has been difficult. 15:26.010 --> 15:31.530 Right this paragraph is not about they say nothing about a ferry crossing they're talking about catering 15:31.530 --> 15:34.550 to wider needs and so they build ferries. 15:34.650 --> 15:39.150 They said nothing about the ferry crossing is a bit difficult if that's what this paragraph was about. 15:39.150 --> 15:41.060 That's what you would have seen on the topic sentence. 15:41.070 --> 15:43.950 So number one is wrong number. 15:44.190 --> 15:46.430 Number nine is correct. 15:46.560 --> 15:50.040 Rising demand for river transport. 15:50.040 --> 15:53.100 A synonym for Ferry is river transport. 15:53.100 --> 15:54.030 Rising demand. 15:54.030 --> 15:54.600 Where does it work. 15:54.600 --> 15:57.010 Where do we get rising demand from. 15:57.020 --> 16:01.680 They were catering to local and a wider me. 16:01.760 --> 16:05.270 It's ok local and wider needs. 16:05.410 --> 16:09.920 That's our rising demand and we have river transport which is synonym for firies. 16:10.050 --> 16:20.580 That means B that means B is going to be number or X as people like me. 16:20.730 --> 16:31.410 All right so I hope that was able to give you I hope I was able to give you a little bit more insight 16:32.100 --> 16:35.490 on doing the headings question right. 16:35.580 --> 16:40.770 You notice what I walk through it what I really like to rely on and what I think you have to get good 16:40.770 --> 16:45.870 at doing is being able to identify the controlling idea of a paragraph. 16:46.320 --> 16:51.270 If you're able to identify the controlling idea of a paragraph then you're able to know what that paragraph 16:51.270 --> 16:52.490 is talking about. 16:52.590 --> 16:58.560 And then you're able to go and match that up from one of the headings and get your answers quickly without 16:58.620 --> 17:01.110 overeating and overdoing it. 17:01.110 --> 17:07.040 That's what's really required and that's why you know some people try to ask me what was the secret 17:07.040 --> 17:13.710 word to headings question is not complicated but it's challenging depending on your level of English. 17:14.010 --> 17:15.260 Right. 17:15.540 --> 17:20.250 If you have a lower level of English you can do a field the blank wished you could do a short answer 17:20.250 --> 17:24.080 question but the headings question is more of a challenge. 17:24.300 --> 17:29.370 For that reason because you have to be able to look at topic sentences and pull out what that paragraph 17:29.370 --> 17:30.620 is about. 17:31.440 --> 17:31.920 OK. 17:31.950 --> 17:35.420 So I hope this is very helpful. 17:35.460 --> 17:40.680 The recording came out OK there were a couple of dogs barking in the outside somewhere. 17:40.700 --> 17:47.960 Hopefully they didn't interfere or get in the way so I hope that didn't bother you guys if that did 17:48.000 --> 17:48.970 I'm sorry about that. 17:49.020 --> 17:49.740 Not my dog. 17:49.740 --> 17:51.610 I don't have any dogs. 17:51.690 --> 17:58.380 But anyway I hope this was very helpful and I'll look forward to teaching you in the next strategy video. 17:58.650 --> 17:59.180 OK. 17:59.200 --> 17:59.500 All right. 17:59.520 --> 18:00.690 So talk to you soon. 18:00.690 --> 18:01.320 Take care. 18:01.320 --> 18:02.040 Thank you.
