WEBVTT 00:00.880 --> 00:01.430 OK. 00:01.470 --> 00:07.950 So let's go ahead and start going through how to do I'll writing testable one on the Isles exam you 00:07.950 --> 00:10.960 have to writings that you have to do your task number one. 00:10.960 --> 00:12.320 You have to do a task number two. 00:12.330 --> 00:13.470 You have to do both. 00:13.650 --> 00:19.230 You don't have an option to test them or one lot of students struggle with test one. 00:19.330 --> 00:25.440 But I think the main reason why is because they don't really understand the proper method or strategy 00:25.440 --> 00:27.190 for doing testable one. 00:27.240 --> 00:34.590 I'm going to teach you how to use the right form the proper form to write any any craft table chart 00:34.800 --> 00:36.200 diagram whatever it is. 00:36.200 --> 00:40.330 There's just one form you need to use and it's a very specific strategy. 00:40.440 --> 00:46.020 You need to use for each paragraph and once you learn that you're going to see that is really really 00:46.020 --> 00:55.820 easy really really easy to do the writing task for the writing task that we have to deal with here. 00:55.830 --> 00:56.120 All right. 00:56.130 --> 00:59.670 So let's get started. 00:59.670 --> 01:02.310 Here are the basic rules that I'm going to give you. 01:02.310 --> 01:08.940 I need you to do about eight to 11 sentences not lines sentences everybody knows what a sentence is. 01:08.940 --> 01:12.810 You need to create four distinct and purposeful paragraphs. 01:12.810 --> 01:15.000 Each paragraph has a purpose. 01:15.000 --> 01:15.550 Right. 01:15.600 --> 01:23.160 You must have a hundred and fifty words minimum and you must it must be completed in twenty minutes 01:23.220 --> 01:24.690 or less less than 20 minutes. 01:24.690 --> 01:25.620 You have to finish it. 01:25.760 --> 01:27.190 OK. 01:27.990 --> 01:29.970 Here are our goals. 01:29.970 --> 01:36.180 When we are talking about has one these the things we have to accomplish for the greater when the grader 01:36.180 --> 01:38.300 is looking at our task number one. 01:38.490 --> 01:43.330 If they see these things accomplished you're going to be able to get a really good score. 01:43.530 --> 01:48.120 If you've done all the other things that are necessary to be able to get a good score. 01:48.120 --> 01:53.380 So for example you want to be able to describe what the graph is about in your own words. 01:53.400 --> 01:55.130 That's the first thing you want to be able to do. 01:55.230 --> 01:59.750 You have to be able to give a general description of what the graph is about. 01:59.970 --> 02:07.590 Next you have to give an overview of the graph an overview Here's where you discussed the highest and 02:07.590 --> 02:08.220 lowest points. 02:08.220 --> 02:14.820 In general the greatest and least amount describe the common things that are on or that are in a diagram. 02:14.820 --> 02:15.140 All right. 02:15.150 --> 02:18.270 So that's what that means for by giving a general overview. 02:18.600 --> 02:23.610 And then finally the last thing we have to accomplish just make real comparisons of the details in two 02:23.610 --> 02:26.140 different paragraphs. 02:26.220 --> 02:30.810 We have to look at the major differences and similarities and make comparisons. 02:30.810 --> 02:36.720 No just tell me where we can just see obviously where I make real comparisons of the details and I'm 02:36.720 --> 02:42.000 going to show you how to do that by doing by accomplishing these goals that I have listed here. 02:42.060 --> 02:47.670 You're going to end up with four distinct paragraphs and you're going to be able to get a really good 02:47.670 --> 02:51.420 score on the exam because you're given the greater what they need. 02:51.570 --> 02:55.530 That's what it's always about it's always about giving the Greater what they need to be able to give 02:55.530 --> 02:59.460 you a good score. 02:59.460 --> 03:04.560 Now how are you graded I'm going to go into grading a little bit more in another lecture when I go over 03:04.670 --> 03:10.140 the grading chart for for writing test number one. 03:10.140 --> 03:14.940 But in general you're great at all your test development which is how well do you answer the question 03:15.280 --> 03:19.920 your grade on your coherence which deals with the organization of your ideas and the connections between 03:19.920 --> 03:23.360 your ideas your grades and your vocabulary. 03:23.370 --> 03:23.770 All right. 03:23.790 --> 03:30.420 And we're looking at you know academic vocabulary subjects specific vocabulary using adjectives and 03:30.440 --> 03:34.320 verbs synonym language and of course you're graded on your grammar. 03:34.500 --> 03:38.150 The level of mistakes that you make and the level of grammar that you're using. 03:38.430 --> 03:45.030 So you grade it in these four different areas and it's really important that you understand that you're 03:45.030 --> 03:50.900 graded in these areas so you have to be able to do well in all these areas to get a really high score. 03:51.770 --> 03:58.580 If you if you if you understand the question very well and you're coherent but your grammar and you 03:58.720 --> 04:04.210 know your grammar and your vocabulary are horrible you're not going to get a good grade. 04:04.410 --> 04:10.720 It's as simple as that you're just not going to get a good grade so you can't do that. 04:10.770 --> 04:15.960 A couple of the things I remember about Isle's test and Rawan don't give your opinion. 04:15.990 --> 04:16.440 All right. 04:16.440 --> 04:18.310 This is not an opinion essay. 04:18.420 --> 04:22.900 I should never say I should never see my interest. 04:22.940 --> 04:24.480 I never see the letter. 04:24.840 --> 04:26.410 You don't have opinion. 04:26.690 --> 04:27.100 OK. 04:27.120 --> 04:28.860 You don't have an opinion. 04:28.860 --> 04:33.440 The Ailes task number one is a factual but factually based essay. 04:33.570 --> 04:37.860 You're only allowed to talk about and utilize the information that's in the graph or the chart or the 04:37.860 --> 04:39.690 diagram. 04:39.690 --> 04:40.920 Second thing is really important. 04:40.920 --> 04:43.850 Some students do they write too much. 04:44.030 --> 04:48.380 They just say well I going to talk about every single thing that I see. 04:48.420 --> 04:49.810 That's all I want to talk about. 04:49.830 --> 04:56.880 Every single thing that I see and they're right too much and it's unorganized and is not good. 04:56.880 --> 05:03.440 And another thing that is very helpful to do is to use it as variety as much as you can you show the 05:03.440 --> 05:06.110 ability to make compound and complex sentences. 05:06.110 --> 05:12.320 I can't stress that enough so that ability show the ability to write higher level grammar and higher 05:12.320 --> 05:18.280 level vocabulary you have to show it because it's an English test degrading your level of English. 05:18.290 --> 05:20.450 So you have to show it. 05:20.560 --> 05:21.220 All right. 05:21.260 --> 05:21.880 None of it. 05:21.900 --> 05:23.690 Number four is very helpful. 05:23.720 --> 05:25.070 Develop a plan and stick to it. 05:25.070 --> 05:30.670 I'm going to show you how to develop a plan and you're going to watch once you see the plan that I use. 05:30.680 --> 05:36.420 You're going to be able to implement that same plan and be able to do very very well. 05:36.620 --> 05:43.010 And the fifth thing that is really helpful in terms of getting a really good grade is you have to be 05:43.010 --> 05:45.480 able to make sentences that don't have mistakes. 05:45.500 --> 05:46.650 Right. 05:46.670 --> 05:50.330 Don't don't make you can't make simple mistakes. 05:50.350 --> 05:51.190 Right. 05:51.260 --> 05:57.030 You know in terms of your articles or propositions you know just your basic fundamental grammar write 05:57.060 --> 05:59.750 sentences that don't have mistakes. 05:59.750 --> 06:04.550 The more sentences are able to write that deal where you don't have mistakes you're going to be able 06:04.550 --> 06:06.150 to get a much better score. 06:06.320 --> 06:07.430 OK. 06:07.580 --> 06:15.470 All right so those are just some key things to remember and I will be pointing out some other key points 06:15.470 --> 06:20.090 are key things to remember along the way. 06:20.090 --> 06:20.400 All right. 06:20.400 --> 06:27.330 So in terms of I told you before that when you're when you're doing this you're going to be writing 06:27.330 --> 06:33.200 four paragraphs OK four paragraphs paragraph number one is your introduction. 06:33.440 --> 06:35.360 OK usery introduction. 06:35.670 --> 06:41.790 And you're going to tell what the graph is about in your own words you're going to do this in one sentence 06:41.910 --> 06:48.960 or possibly two sentences maximum one sentence or two sentences maximum that's all that's paragraph 06:48.960 --> 06:55.110 number one paragraph number two which is our overview paragraph. 06:55.110 --> 06:58.650 Here you're going to tell the reader the highest and the lowest the greatest or the least of the common 06:58.650 --> 07:06.360 things that you see paragraph number two is going to be two sentences or possibly three that's all. 07:06.480 --> 07:10.230 Two or three sentences for a general overview. 07:11.460 --> 07:13.680 OK. 07:18.030 --> 07:22.950 So those are our first two paragraphs and paragraphs three and four which we're going to talk about 07:22.950 --> 07:23.850 a little bit later. 07:23.860 --> 07:24.900 I don't have it on here right now. 07:24.900 --> 07:25.710 We're going to talk about it. 07:25.710 --> 07:27.830 We will talk about it a little bit later. 07:27.960 --> 07:34.600 Perfect as we are in three and four where we talk about our specific details in terms of comparing them. 07:34.890 --> 07:43.740 All right some common mistakes that students make is that makes them get a low score it is very important 07:43.740 --> 07:44.420 to know. 07:44.640 --> 07:51.240 Paraphrasing writes Students who copy the question language exactly gets severely punished. 07:51.240 --> 07:56.470 You can't just look at the question language for test number one and copy it as your introduction. 07:56.580 --> 07:59.390 You cannot do that you have to paraphrase. 07:59.590 --> 08:04.080 Right so one common mistakes that students make is they don't paraphrase. 08:04.080 --> 08:09.270 Another common mistake is to just make because they don't have separate paragraphs they write one big 08:09.270 --> 08:12.490 paragraph and throw everything in there. 08:12.840 --> 08:18.960 OK that shows a lack of what lack of government organization and a lack of how to properly form a report 08:18.960 --> 08:20.400 or essay. 08:20.400 --> 08:21.110 All right. 08:21.300 --> 08:22.020 And the last. 08:22.020 --> 08:27.960 The other mistake is made in terms of quantity over quality of the 50 words it's only about 8 to 11 08:27.960 --> 08:29.010 sentences that's all. 08:29.040 --> 08:31.630 That's all that is is no more than that. 08:31.980 --> 08:32.620 OK. 08:32.730 --> 08:38.250 And sometimes people think well if I write a lot I'll get a better score for most of you while you're 08:38.250 --> 08:42.150 writing a lot riding 250 fifty 300 words. 08:42.150 --> 08:44.550 All you're doing to show me more your mistakes. 08:44.670 --> 08:52.410 You show me more of your bad grammar more bad spelling more of your basic Sitges formations that you're 08:52.410 --> 08:56.390 doing right is better for you to have high quality. 08:56.400 --> 09:00.270 You'll get a really good high quality the answer is the question completely. 09:00.400 --> 09:06.750 How have a lot of quantity of just sloppiness and mess. 09:06.880 --> 09:11.890 OK so we can't do that in terms of common mistakes. 09:11.910 --> 09:15.580 Some other mistakes the students make a failure to be specific. 09:15.710 --> 09:18.630 They always talk about generalities. 09:18.630 --> 09:21.080 They don't try to describe everything. 09:21.330 --> 09:26.910 And also having bad time management you have to have really good time management to be able to do well 09:26.910 --> 09:29.620 a task or two because you have to finish in 20 minutes. 09:29.820 --> 09:32.520 And if you use the method this strategy then I'm going to show you. 09:32.520 --> 09:35.200 You'll finish on time. 09:35.220 --> 09:35.610 All right. 09:35.610 --> 09:40.940 Well later on which you can do is go through this preparation checklist for test number one. 09:41.260 --> 09:41.420 Right. 09:41.430 --> 09:47.770 These are this is very helpful in terms of learning how to do task number one. 09:47.940 --> 09:51.090 Here we are talking about paragraph number three. 09:51.260 --> 09:56.460 Talked about that a little bit little bit a little bit later on paragraph 3 Paragraph 4 basically the 09:56.460 --> 09:58.680 same in paragraphs 3 and 4. 09:58.870 --> 10:02.240 You're going to be comparing a contrast to the numbers and percentages. 10:02.550 --> 10:04.150 OK. 10:04.380 --> 10:05.830 You have your you're. 10:05.850 --> 10:11.940 These are specific body paragraphs and what you're doing is you're looking at a graph or a chart and 10:12.020 --> 10:14.390 you're going to break it into two parts. 10:14.430 --> 10:16.810 One part is going to be your paragraph one. 10:17.010 --> 10:22.950 The other parts can be a paragraph number two and then for part number one you're going to compare specific 10:22.950 --> 10:29.490 details in your paragraph and then for part number two you're going to compare specific details in the 10:29.490 --> 10:30.300 paragraph. 10:30.300 --> 10:31.300 All right. 10:31.440 --> 10:34.230 And that's going to make a lot more sense. 10:34.230 --> 10:40.350 It's going to go a lot more sense after after you see some examples here you'll really understand like 10:40.350 --> 10:41.900 how to do the writing properly. 10:41.970 --> 10:42.870 OK. 10:42.870 --> 10:50.480 So let's keep going and we're going to go over the band's core process of how they grade you and then 10:50.500 --> 10:54.370 we're going to get into where everybody is waiting for which are some of the examples. 10:54.450 --> 10:55.100 OK. 10:55.290 --> 10:57.350 So I will talk to you really soon.
