WEBVTT 00:10.390 --> 00:19.810 OK everybody the first lecture you're going to go over in terms of specific questions strategy is in 00:20.050 --> 00:22.380 dealing with the field the blank question. 00:22.690 --> 00:29.400 So before we get into the passage and I demonstrate for you the application of the strategy. 00:29.710 --> 00:37.230 Let's first look at our strategy summarize page a look at the strategy for the field the blank question. 00:37.930 --> 00:45.380 As you can see it's right over here in this area right over here on the left hand side. 00:45.490 --> 00:52.810 And I will highlight it for you so that you can see where I'm talking about. 00:52.810 --> 00:53.070 Right. 00:53.080 --> 00:57.080 So and for the field in question number one it goes in order. 00:57.190 --> 01:03.700 That's great because if you know or question number two is you know the question one is found above 01:03.700 --> 01:06.350 that in question number three is found below that. 01:06.610 --> 01:12.460 So knowing that the question goes in order is a big big help in terms of your going quickly through 01:12.610 --> 01:14.450 this type of question. 01:14.920 --> 01:19.810 You want to read to the questions and spot the easiest to do first. 01:19.840 --> 01:26.630 What I mean by that is look for the language there's going to be easiest to find names. 01:26.630 --> 01:31.560 They are scientific words phrases. 01:31.600 --> 01:37.310 Some of those are going to be very easy to find or words that don't really have synonyms. 01:38.170 --> 01:44.370 You want to go through and and the reason why you do that is as we said earlier the questions go in 01:44.380 --> 01:45.910 order. 01:45.970 --> 01:53.380 So let's say for example if I'm doing Question number four I decided to question number four first and 01:53.380 --> 01:57.040 it has really easy language to find like has a name and a date. 01:57.610 --> 02:04.300 If I find Question number four and paragraph number three that's a great. 02:04.300 --> 02:05.210 That's great to know. 02:05.230 --> 02:06.410 Because now I know. 02:06.430 --> 02:13.030 Well question is three two and one are in the above paragraphs one in two and then Question Five is 02:13.030 --> 02:18.550 below that question five and six are below that in question 4 and that really because I can find that 02:18.550 --> 02:20.400 question so quickly. 02:20.800 --> 02:25.970 That really helps me then locate where the other questions are and be able to answer quickly and move 02:25.960 --> 02:28.770 through this question. 02:28.810 --> 02:36.340 So you want to underly I'm at number three now underline the keywords in the questions you want to scan 02:36.370 --> 02:38.430 and find the matching set to see your first. 02:38.470 --> 02:40.340 Easiest question. 02:40.360 --> 02:44.090 Now let me say this before we get to number five. 02:44.740 --> 02:49.180 You want to make sure that when it comes to me after you've finished. 02:49.180 --> 02:54.020 Step number four and it comes to being ready to answer the question. 02:54.130 --> 03:00.580 Pay attention to the language that comes before and after the blank line because that's the language 03:00.580 --> 03:02.830 that your answer will be connected to. 03:03.400 --> 03:04.360 All right. 03:04.360 --> 03:09.370 Pay attention to the language does before and after the blank line because that's where the answer will 03:09.640 --> 03:11.870 come from down. 03:11.910 --> 03:16.750 Once you find the language in the passage sentence when you look at the passage sentence and you're 03:16.750 --> 03:18.460 looking for the answer. 03:18.460 --> 03:24.940 What I'm doing is I'm looking in the passage sentence and I'm looking for the language that comes before 03:24.940 --> 03:26.570 and after the blank line. 03:26.740 --> 03:32.920 Once you find that language once you find that language then you're able to find the answer directly 03:33.400 --> 03:35.470 and write that answer down. 03:35.470 --> 03:41.770 A lot of students think they need to understand the whole sentence and find the meaning of the whole 03:41.770 --> 03:43.030 sentence. 03:43.590 --> 03:48.230 And they're not they're not you're not looking for the right thing you're not looking for the answer 03:48.800 --> 03:54.000 you need you're trying to process the sentence and sometimes that's why you're going slow just find 03:54.000 --> 03:58.980 a match and sit in a language that was before before or after the blank line and there is the answer. 03:59.020 --> 04:03.980 It's unnecessary to process the whole sentence and the meaning of the whole sentence. 04:03.980 --> 04:13.270 So as I am going through this reading passage and demonstrating for you how this strategy is applied 04:14.440 --> 04:16.900 you'll see what I mean and you'll see how this works. 04:17.320 --> 04:17.710 OK. 04:17.710 --> 04:19.530 So let's go ahead and move forward. 04:21.440 --> 04:31.910 So we're looking at this reading passage and this reading passage is from Book Number 12 is from Book 04:31.910 --> 04:32.660 Number 12. 04:32.660 --> 04:41.570 So if you have Book Number 12 which you should have I recommend that you always get the books and if 04:41.570 --> 04:48.560 you have book number 12 and you want to do it on your own and then compare it to my analysis you should 04:48.560 --> 04:56.330 go ahead and stop the tape right here in and do this reading passage from Book Number 12 and then you 04:56.330 --> 04:58.960 can come back and check your answers. 04:59.180 --> 05:05.010 And also have the analysis so you can be able to see what you're doing. 05:05.390 --> 05:05.980 OK. 05:06.260 --> 05:12.740 So let's go ahead and go down to now it's not necessary for me to read this reading passage. 05:13.040 --> 05:16.880 OK some people say well I want to read the passage first and then answer the questions you're wasting 05:16.880 --> 05:19.800 time you're wasting time. 05:20.130 --> 05:24.560 OK the questions are going to give you the direction in terms of what you should read and which you 05:24.560 --> 05:25.910 should be scanning for. 05:26.210 --> 05:32.480 Otherwise you're just reading books you're not reading with purpose you're just reading so you can get 05:32.480 --> 05:39.380 your own general understanding and you're wasting clock and one in terms of this course. 05:39.380 --> 05:44.070 I'm all about efficiency not wasting that clock getting through it. 05:44.090 --> 05:45.760 So you can get a high number. 05:45.760 --> 05:46.920 Correct. 05:46.920 --> 05:51.840 All right so now we're dealing with a blank question. 05:51.980 --> 05:58.910 So first thing we're going to do is we're looking at this question. 05:58.910 --> 06:03.790 These questions were saying well which ones are going to be some of the easiest to do first. 06:04.070 --> 06:09.430 And really you know that this is this is something that's a little bit different with the general exam 06:09.770 --> 06:13.750 because you know these questions are questions 15 through 20. 06:14.330 --> 06:19.730 And when you're dealing with Section 1 or Section 2 from the general reading section is really really 06:19.730 --> 06:23.880 easy sometimes because the passages are so easy. 06:24.140 --> 06:30.410 They don't have any kind of language that really can maybe help you out in terms of well which one should 06:30.410 --> 06:32.310 I do first. 06:32.390 --> 06:34.650 So when I'm looking at 15 through 20. 06:34.970 --> 06:38.900 None of these really have any language that jumps out at me that I would do first. 06:38.900 --> 06:43.050 So I would probably just start trying to look for number one number 15 first. 06:43.340 --> 06:48.080 If we were dealing in section number three if we're dealing in section number three you would definitely 06:48.080 --> 06:53.900 see you would definitely see language in questions that are going to be easiest to find first. 06:53.960 --> 07:00.450 But let's go ahead and first start looking at what are the what are the key words in the question. 07:00.450 --> 07:00.710 All right. 07:00.710 --> 07:03.960 So we definitely have will help. 07:03.970 --> 07:05.330 All right that's important. 07:05.600 --> 07:13.350 And also places and advertise right. 07:13.400 --> 07:15.740 That language is going to be really helpful for their work. 07:15.830 --> 07:23.140 For that for that question for number 16 something that belongs to your customers. 07:23.490 --> 07:24.150 Right. 07:24.410 --> 07:33.110 And also how they feel about it right how they feel right for number 16. 07:33.110 --> 07:43.280 We're looking at forms of advertising and then we're looking at also at in terms of our keyword language 07:43.910 --> 07:46.580 looking at potential customers. 07:50.150 --> 07:50.880 Excuse me. 07:51.230 --> 07:56.570 And for number 18 we're dealing with something very useful 07:59.120 --> 08:04.710 and also about business. 08:04.730 --> 08:09.740 This is the language that I'm what I'm pointing way when I'm highlighting this language or I'm underlining 08:09.740 --> 08:12.220 this language when I explain to what I'm doing. 08:12.500 --> 08:18.310 I'm doing two things I'm highlighting language that will help me find the sentence. 08:18.380 --> 08:22.440 And I'm also highlighting language that points to the answer. 08:22.790 --> 08:25.070 OK so we're looking at two things here. 08:25.080 --> 08:32.780 Language that will help me find the right sentence and language that will help me to point towards the 08:32.780 --> 08:33.320 answer. 08:33.320 --> 08:33.970 All right. 08:34.380 --> 08:44.180 So our next one we're looking at measuring the effects and we're also looking at something that it can 08:44.180 --> 08:45.350 give you. 08:45.760 --> 08:47.230 And then for a number 20 08:50.130 --> 08:55.250 success and depends on. 08:55.360 --> 08:56.110 Right. 08:56.190 --> 09:03.990 So if you're doing the test and you doing on paper you could be you can you could really underline this 09:03.990 --> 09:11.520 language because underlying this language will really help you in terms of being able to do two things. 09:11.710 --> 09:15.990 What language points to the answer and also language that will help you in terms of locating the right 09:15.990 --> 09:17.030 sentence. 09:17.420 --> 09:28.350 OK so we're first of all we're looking for is something that will help you to discover effective places 09:28.350 --> 09:33.540 to advertise effective places to advertise. 09:33.550 --> 09:38.800 All right so we can see right here it says knowing where your customers look. 09:39.040 --> 09:43.930 This is where knowing where your customers look or not knowing where your customers look for advertising. 09:43.930 --> 09:44.290 Right. 09:44.290 --> 09:55.700 So I know that number 15 number 15 is going to be right here. 09:55.870 --> 09:59.980 It's going to be in this paragraph right here just that's number of 15 is going to be is going to be 09:59.980 --> 10:01.430 in that paragraph. 10:01.980 --> 10:04.030 OK. 10:04.330 --> 10:09.170 Now when I look at this paragraph I'm looking at something that will help you. 10:09.230 --> 10:12.960 Language that means the same is something that will help you. 10:12.980 --> 10:13.430 All right. 10:13.450 --> 10:17.830 And also we have places they advertise places to advertise. 10:17.830 --> 10:21.300 Help me to know that that was the paragraph we should be looking at. 10:21.560 --> 10:25.630 I'm looking at laying I'm looking for language that says will help you. 10:25.630 --> 10:32.660 Language and means wheels will help you because that's going to help me in terms of finding the answer. 10:33.050 --> 10:38.290 Right now I see the language right now. 10:39.490 --> 10:40.060 All right. 10:40.210 --> 10:46.860 This is the language and then the answer that is going to point to the right here. 10:47.200 --> 10:50.670 That's why it pays to. 10:51.140 --> 10:53.140 That's why it pays to. 10:53.150 --> 10:53.450 All right. 10:53.450 --> 10:55.580 So that's why it pays to. 10:55.820 --> 10:58.850 Is the synonym language for will help you. 10:58.970 --> 11:03.140 That's why it pays to send in them lame which for will help you. 11:03.530 --> 11:09.530 So our answer or answer is of course going to be right here. 11:09.530 --> 11:11.750 Research. 11:11.800 --> 11:12.400 Right. 11:12.530 --> 11:20.300 So that's why it pays to do a bit of research is the same thing as saying vet is saying it will help 11:20.300 --> 11:21.030 you. 11:21.080 --> 11:23.540 Some research will help you some reach. 11:23.540 --> 11:25.280 Some research will help you. 11:25.580 --> 11:30.680 Which is from the question some research will help you is the same as saying that's why it pays to do 11:30.680 --> 11:32.590 a bit of research. 11:32.600 --> 11:33.150 OK. 11:33.350 --> 11:38.830 So it's all about synonym language it's all about sentimental synonym language right. 11:38.840 --> 11:45.230 So I know this is where that where I have to look this is where I need to find the sentence that has 11:45.230 --> 11:48.000 the language that's going to point towards the answer. 11:48.110 --> 11:48.660 Right. 11:48.860 --> 11:54.030 So we know for a number 15. 11:54.710 --> 12:04.840 Excuse me we know for them or 15 that our answer is going to be research 12:09.580 --> 12:09.910 right. 12:09.910 --> 12:13.960 Our answer is research now 16. 12:13.960 --> 12:15.830 Right now I know this question goes in order. 12:15.830 --> 12:18.490 I mean 16 has the come next. 12:18.490 --> 12:22.650 So six things is a blink of your custom or something of your customers. 12:22.900 --> 12:27.190 We'll show you how they feel right how they feel. 12:27.520 --> 12:27.880 OK 12:31.340 --> 12:36.820 something good for customers will show you how they feel right now. 12:36.830 --> 12:40.000 This is and this is in section two I believe. 12:40.460 --> 12:44.320 And you know these questions are going to go in order. 12:44.570 --> 12:49.700 So I mean number 16 is most likely going to come from this next paragraph 17 from this next little paragraph 12:49.760 --> 12:56.120 18 from this next little paragraph because as I see it sections 1 and 2 are going to be really really 12:56.420 --> 12:59.420 easy to do if you know what you're doing. 12:59.850 --> 13:01.220 OK. 13:01.580 --> 13:06.730 So we're looking for language that talks about how they feel. 13:07.250 --> 13:08.020 All right. 13:08.100 --> 13:10.060 And I'm going through it very quickly. 13:10.250 --> 13:12.690 Looking for language that means feeling. 13:13.330 --> 13:13.800 All right. 13:13.850 --> 13:20.890 And I have found it language that means feeling OK. 13:26.420 --> 13:28.620 What they like and what they don't like. 13:29.110 --> 13:32.400 Or does language that means feeling OK. 13:32.720 --> 13:34.740 That's the sentence I'm looking for. 13:35.090 --> 13:38.820 This centers right here is telling me about how they feel. 13:39.050 --> 13:39.410 All right. 13:39.410 --> 13:48.930 So then I am looking for something that is for my customers or something being done to my customers 13:48.930 --> 13:54.200 a blank of your customers right a blank of your customers. 13:54.420 --> 14:01.290 And we are when you see it and I saw it earlier right here right here we have your customers is right 14:01.290 --> 14:04.420 here an 14:11.340 --> 14:16.360 we have the language survey of your customers. 14:16.380 --> 14:16.790 All right. 14:16.800 --> 14:22.500 So survey is going to be our answer choice. 14:22.490 --> 14:23.270 All right. 14:23.320 --> 14:32.680 And so we can see that number 16 was right here and I'm showing you that because just to show you that 14:32.700 --> 14:36.470 how things are going in order that this questin goes in order 14:42.340 --> 14:42.850 right. 14:42.980 --> 14:44.290 So a survey 14:46.830 --> 14:49.300 survey is answers. 14:49.320 --> 14:52.130 A survey of your customers. 14:52.260 --> 15:00.150 Now some people may ask me are probably going to ask me and say if they say what could the answer be 15:00.150 --> 15:02.010 a simple phone. 15:02.020 --> 15:06.830 The city says a simple phone or e-mail survey right. 15:07.070 --> 15:13.560 For a simple phone or e-mail that's just a descriptive description of the type of survey the answer 15:13.560 --> 15:14.860 is survey. 15:15.270 --> 15:21.330 It could be a could be you know phone survey or email server but the answer is a survey. 15:21.330 --> 15:21.660 All right. 15:21.660 --> 15:28.050 So you wouldn't put a phone or simple phone because we're not talking about a phone call a simple phone 15:28.110 --> 15:30.180 survey or e-mail survey with the answer. 15:30.180 --> 15:32.290 The core answer is survey. 15:32.920 --> 15:33.680 OK. 15:34.260 --> 15:36.510 And that's all you would put as your answer choice 15:39.200 --> 15:46.190 also because what do the directions say the directions say what the directions say. 15:46.190 --> 15:50.790 One word only one word only. 15:51.020 --> 15:55.610 So if you go ahead and put e-mail survey you know what that's wrong. 15:56.830 --> 15:58.180 If you put phone survey. 15:58.180 --> 16:01.940 That's wrong you can only put one word. 16:02.320 --> 16:04.260 All right let's keep going. 16:04.540 --> 16:09.920 Next we're living with something with forms of advertising forms. 16:10.000 --> 16:15.730 The answer is connected to forms of advertising and we're talking about something that's going to make 16:15.730 --> 16:17.540 the potential customers find you 16:22.780 --> 16:23.170 all right. 16:23.180 --> 16:24.800 Make sure your customers know you're there. 16:24.800 --> 16:26.690 This is talking more finding. 16:26.720 --> 16:34.160 That means that number 17 is going to be in this paragraph. 16:34.160 --> 16:34.520 All right. 16:34.520 --> 16:37.790 So forms of advertising. 16:38.850 --> 16:48.230 All right so here are forms of advertising right here are forms of advertising are right here look print 16:48.440 --> 16:49.630 press email. 16:49.700 --> 16:51.120 Blah blah blah. 16:51.200 --> 16:53.340 Those are forms of advertising. 16:53.880 --> 16:54.830 OK. 16:55.160 --> 16:56.870 Those are forms of advertising. 16:56.870 --> 17:04.720 Look at the question again is this a blank of forms of advertising will make it more likely that potential 17:04.720 --> 17:06.150 customers will find you. 17:06.310 --> 17:11.280 So something's being done to something's being done to the advertising right. 17:11.380 --> 17:15.790 Something's being done to the advertising to make it more likely that they'll find you 17:19.050 --> 17:21.180 OK and here's our answer right here. 17:21.180 --> 17:25.830 Our answer is right here with MCS 17:28.790 --> 17:30.770 right there is our answer right there. 17:31.100 --> 17:38.630 And your chances of being seen as a sin in a lane which for will find you OK but using a mix of these 17:38.630 --> 17:42.710 forms of advertising increases your chances of being seen. 17:42.710 --> 17:46.210 So you see a lot of synonym language. 17:46.520 --> 17:48.470 It's a lot of Solanum linguists. 17:48.530 --> 17:49.290 Right. 17:49.730 --> 17:53.350 But a mix of these things. 17:53.600 --> 17:56.270 Print press and so forth and so on. 17:56.270 --> 18:01.240 Now one thing that you'll see also here is they have the order differently. 18:01.460 --> 18:04.120 They have the order differently from the question. 18:04.430 --> 18:11.710 If you look at the question the question is is a a blank or a mix of forms of advertising. 18:11.960 --> 18:19.310 When you look at the passage they give you the advertising the forms of advertising then say and using 18:19.310 --> 18:21.460 a mix of these. 18:21.680 --> 18:22.070 Right. 18:22.070 --> 18:26.790 So they reverse the the word order from the question again. 18:27.050 --> 18:32.350 They're doing that to challenge you in terms of your English processing ability. 18:32.360 --> 18:32.560 All right. 18:32.570 --> 18:35.570 But you have to be able to recognize that the answer is mix.
