Question I separate out the paragraph in the question so that we can take a look at some of these in
terms of answering but from a strategy and tactics standpoint.
Again question goes in order.
You want to underline the keywords you want to do the questions that are easiest to find first because
that will help you know where the other questions are located.
Right.
MVNO It's about making a comparison of the sentence in the question sentence to the passage sentence.
You're making a comparison of both of them.
And really what it comes down to is you're really understanding of synonym.
So let's have a look at it.
And like I said what I've done is I've separated out some of this for you.
Right.
So for example this one's been separated out.
So as I told you number one is located in the first paragraph.
Right.
So when we look at that sentence and we look at the question for number one go ahead and try your best
take take take one minute and let me know what you think the answer is going to be the question say
as all new houses in Australia must have smoke alarms our sentence say smoke alarms are now Sandt a
standard feature in Australian homes that are required by the National Building Code.
What's our answer here type your answer please very quickly if you know
why exactly.
True right.
True because now again like what I talked about is the use of them locums.
When we look at when I look at a question right when I look at this question on new houses in Australia
must have smoke alarms.
The language that jumps out to me like the language that I know they're going to test on is just language
right here must have right must have right.
Must have right.
So in our sentence we see are required right are required up on.
Now now a standard feature is does it mean the same as must have read the language unless we know that
this one is correct.
Must have is and required exactly right.
You see the matching language right.
We also see that we're talking about new homes.
Right because there's talk about now I suppose move onto the next one and our next one we're dealing
with we have number three and number four.
Right number three is for the number three is from the first sentence.
And number four is from the second sentence.
So take a look at this paragraph and look at number three and number four
I'm sorry I skipped number two.
As I look at number two right number two
not three and four look we're looking at number two the paragraph or number two is right above it.
Right we are.
Question number two in the paragraph is right above it.
So was I answered or number.
Frye's false.
How do we know was false because our second sentence is ionization alarms of the chieftainess.
Again look at the question.
You can always look at a question and almost always tell what is the language you're going to test on
the web.
The true false not given the words cost less.
Right.
When I look at the sentence I know is either going to say what it costs less is it going to say it costs
more or is going to be absolute right.
For most questions you can look at and know the language they're going to test you on.
All right.
Now let's go ahead and have a look.
And numbers 3 and 4.
All right.
So three and four.
How should I write the answer capsule's mind doesn't matter how you write the letter.
True or false.
I would write capitals though.
Was the answer Number three was the answer number four.
So we look at number three number three says well it takes a short time to fit most smoke alarms.
It takes a short time to fit most smoke alarms.
What language are we going to test on everybody's short time.
Does it take a short time.
Right now when we look at our sentence most battery power smoke alarms can be installed by the homeowner
and do not require professional installation.
Does this say anything about the amount of time.
No that's missing.
That means the answer is not given.
Right.
It's silent.
Yes.
Nothing about it for a short time or a long time.
It is silent.
That means it is not given right.
That's not given these number for any hardware or any hard wired smoke alarm must be filled by specialists
technician sentence for the installation of hard wire smoke alarms.
Power by the power from the mains electricity supply however you will need the services of Ilyse professional.
That is true.
That's an example of true by let's keep going.
How about number five.
Looks like we are people are divided over not giving any false.
Our question says you should get in touch with your local council before placing any ionisation smoke
alarms in the house hold.
Rubbish.
Right now
our sentence says well look at those two sentences right.
Yes you have fewer than 10 ionisation alarms to be read you may put them in your domestic ways.
If you have more than T.N. to dispose of you should contact your local council.
Now it says you should get in touch with your local council before placing any ionisation smoke alarm.
So when does it say you have to get in touch with the local council.
It says if you do more than 10 questions say as before you place any.
Right this is an example of false is false because the passage says something different or changed than
the question.
The information is not missing.
Right it's not missing information.
The passage is telling us something different is giving a different answer.
The quote the passage says more than 10 the questions say as any.
That is an example of false.
That's not an example of not given.
Right and that's one of the main thing the students struggle with is understanding that difference.
Now finally look at questions 6 and 7.
Number six.
Smoke alarms give a warning to indicate that the body smoke alarms give a warning sound to indicate
that battery power is low.
Your battery powered smoke alarm will produce a short beat every 60 seconds to alert you when the battery
is running out or needs replacing.
True number seven old alarms need to be checked more than once a month.
Nevertheless it should be tested every month to insure that battery is alarm and the alarm sounder are
working.
Now in this sentence does it say anything about old smoke alarms.
Is that mentioned anywhere.
Do you see anything do you see the word old.
That is a synonym for the word old.
If you don't see the word old or you don't see a synonym for the word old that is missing.
That means the answer Number 7 is not given.
You can not make an inference right.
So for those you pick false or whatever you picked or true.
Stop making inferences.
The word old is missing.
This sentence says nothing about old.
You cannot infer that they're talking about old.
It is missing.
Number 7 is not given right is not given.
You cannot infer an answer.
There are no inference questions on the Isles exam.
There are inference questions on the Tofel exam on the Isles exam.
There are no inference questions you have to have clear understanding for the Isles exam.
No inferencing No suggested answers right before I move onto the next section does anybody have any
questions.
Wait can you please God above question number two.
Question 2.
Question to say it follows that photoelectric smoke alarms cost less than ionization smoke alarms in
the second sentence is say is ionization.
Alarms are cheap this
right so photo electric arm Spoto electric arms alarms can't cost less.
It says they cost less.
Right.
Is says the question says photoelectric cost less in the passages say as ionization alarms are the cheapest.
That means information in number two is false.
Right our passage says something different.
Rite of passage says something different.
Any other questions.
What you are saying regarding the not given answer is I should read the same synonyms in the passage.
No that's not what I'm saying.
Well that's what ball I mean in a way.
Yes you should.
You should see.
You should see the relevant words from the question right.
So when we tell them all relevant words from the question we're talking about what subject verb object
right now verbs if you if you see.
Now if you see nouns and verbs missing are bad or even adjectives really important adjectives are adverbs.
If they're missing is not given right is not given.
So here we have to have the word old we have to.
You can't infer it right.
You can't you can't make you can't you can't say it.
They are and is not there.
Right that ANJO a dancer will be false if they say a new rivals say a new all right or the answer will
be false
they answer would be false.
If they say they did not need to be checked right for things to be false
for them to be false you have to be able to say something that's opposite or changed.
All right.
OK.
All right.
So look at another thing.
So right.
As you can see this is Section 1 and in section 1 we have two reading passages where we have this first
reading passage and we have where the truth falls to a given question and then they give us a second
reading passage.
And the second reading passages for question is eight to 14.
But this is still Section 1.
That's the difference between this.
That's a difference between this and the academic test the academic test questions 1 to 14 would all
be quick questions 1 to 14 would all be in section with just one reading passage.
But it's much easier in the general exam because they divided up for you.
So again I'm not going to star reading it.
I'm going to go and immediately look I'm going to try to see what kind of questions do I have to do
right.
So here we have it says you know this text on page has seven sections which section which section mentions
the following.
So this is the question I told you about as is which section has different information.
Right which section has different information.
So with this kind of question there are like for number four.
They're asking you for number eight is number eight located in a section A B C D E F and G.
What section is the information for number 8 located for number 9.
Which section is it located in.
One thing I think that is very very helpful to do.
One thing is very very helpful to do and what I would do is write my test booklet I would write down
what are the keywords from each question right here on the left side in the white part.
I can't do it as I'm looking at a PDA but right in the white part of the screen whereas white next to
the reading passage or even at the top of the reading passage I would write down all the key words from
the question right.
That way I don't have to keep going back and forth.
Right.
So for example for number eight hour write down on the on the other page discount younger visitors.
Number nine I would write suitable footwear for a number I don't want the answers right now.
Don't don't give me answers right now.
Number and I would write down pretend and taking part in the concert.
Number 11 restriction and number of participants.
Number 12 I would write down reduction and internet purchase number 13 I will write down book ticket
advance in a before hand or write tour links.
Right.
So it's important to do to make this question easy to write down what the key words are.
What the key words are and what I mean by that is this
right.
I would write down all these keywords like from 8 to 14.
I would take those keywords right.
I would take those keywords and I would write them on the screen.
On Monday I would write them right on my text booklet.
I will write them directly on my test booklet on this page right here.
I will write them somewhere on the test booklet right here.
That way you know you can.
You don't have to keep going back and forth.
Right you don't have to get one back and forth trying to find it and look for it right.
So
I know some of you have this might have some of you don't have book number T.N. but I'll go through
some of the answers very quickly in terms of where they where this information is located.
As Lavonne has said earlier for a number 8 we're dealing with discounts of younger visitors right.
Look I know I'm looking for somewhere whereas dealing with with price.
Right.
For a price and numbers and younger people.
So she's right the answer is C because here s has 16 and under children 16 and under this young people
and we have a price.
So I asked for number 8 we would put C right.
