WEBVTT 00:02.960 --> 00:05.600 OK so let's get started. 00:05.660 --> 00:16.520 As you know this is a live class that is going over the application of strategy for the child's writing 00:16.520 --> 00:23.100 task number one task number one is where you are required to write a report. 00:23.150 --> 00:31.310 There's usually going to be about a pie chart or table or bar graph for lying lying lying graph or a 00:31.310 --> 00:34.620 diagram or even a process. 00:34.850 --> 00:44.510 And if you have watched the videos or watched the lectures in the course then you understand that there 00:44.510 --> 00:46.500 are there. 00:46.590 --> 00:56.570 There was there is a method or strategy that we use for any type of graph or chart or process or diagram. 00:56.770 --> 00:59.190 It's the same strategy. 00:59.200 --> 01:06.250 It doesn't matter if as a diagram it doesn't matter if it's a process or a line graph is the same strategy 01:06.910 --> 01:10.000 and strategy is taught over and over and over again. 01:12.260 --> 01:17.450 Now you know the way that strategy is and this is in the course of things going over very quickly right 01:17.450 --> 01:24.710 now but it teaches in the course that you have to have four paragraphs you have an introduction which 01:24.770 --> 01:29.990 is a paraphrase of what the graph recharter diagram is about. 01:30.140 --> 01:36.410 Then you have your second paragraph which is a general overview which is there the common the common 01:36.410 --> 01:44.270 or the obvious things that you see from the process diagram or chart and then your last two paragraphs 01:44.780 --> 01:48.990 are where you make specific comparisons of what you see. 01:49.170 --> 01:57.440 Right now I'm going to go through this first one step by step I'm going to first go through the introduction 01:58.310 --> 02:08.840 and go through the general overview and then also go through the two specific comparison paragraphs. 02:09.320 --> 02:18.640 All right now while I'm doing this you're more than welcome to try your hand at typing your own introductions 02:19.290 --> 02:25.440 and I can copy and paste your introductions to my screen and we can take a look at your introductions 02:26.580 --> 02:30.390 or I might just look at them directly and let you know that's in there that's in the ballpark or not 02:31.140 --> 02:38.140 but you're welcome to right along with me and to see if you're doing it correctly. 02:38.740 --> 02:39.110 All right. 02:39.130 --> 02:44.930 So I've looked in the chat box and I don't see any questions right now. 02:45.090 --> 02:48.520 So let's go ahead and get started. 02:50.220 --> 02:57.570 So when we look at this first one that we have here we're dealing with a two chart issue right. 02:57.580 --> 03:04.950 We have a pie chart on the top and we have a table on the bottom right so we have a two chart issue. 03:05.110 --> 03:07.930 And this is the two charts. 03:08.050 --> 03:13.220 It follows the same process introduction general overview specific specific. 03:13.490 --> 03:14.530 OK. 03:15.100 --> 03:22.650 So our first job is to look at what the chart is about and then we want to paraphrase that information 03:22.650 --> 03:25.680 into our own sentence. 03:25.680 --> 03:34.940 Paraphrasing is something that the graders on the Isles exam highly highly value I mean highly value 03:35.650 --> 03:43.290 the they are highly valued in writing and they highly value with in speaking like if you look at the 03:43.290 --> 03:50.970 speaking rubric it says I can put a score of eight that the person can paraphrase effectively. 03:51.290 --> 03:51.850 Right. 03:51.990 --> 03:53.410 They are in writing. 03:53.400 --> 03:55.680 They feel the exact same way. 03:56.170 --> 04:04.210 Because remember this is not an intelligence test is a test of your English ability and paraphrasing 04:04.270 --> 04:07.840 is a very high level English ability. 04:07.930 --> 04:14.860 So I'm going to go ahead and write my introduction for this one right here. 04:14.860 --> 04:22.180 It says the following pie charts and tables show how three countries USA UK and Malaysia deal with dangerous 04:22.180 --> 04:23.260 waste. 04:23.260 --> 04:27.780 Why a report for a university lecturer describing the information below. 04:27.780 --> 04:28.290 Right. 04:28.360 --> 04:30.860 At least one hundred fifty words. 04:31.060 --> 04:35.120 Ok so I'm going to go ahead and write my introduction. 04:35.350 --> 04:42.460 And you are welcome to try your hand at writing or in your own introduction in the chat box and I'll 04:42.470 --> 04:43.200 take a look at it. 04:43.240 --> 04:51.580 OK so I'm going to go silent for about two minutes while I go ahead and write this introduction and 04:51.580 --> 05:02.230 then after I write this introduction please zoom in a little Zool. zone and the little 05:06.400 --> 05:09.940 c all the wispy to zoomie and a little 05:18.220 --> 05:21.610 yeah well you know although when I do that I can do that. 05:21.640 --> 05:23.820 But you are you won't be able to. 05:24.250 --> 05:26.200 You won't be able to see much of what I'm. 05:26.250 --> 05:29.470 Well I'm going to have to write on the same document. 05:29.860 --> 05:30.260 OK. 05:30.280 --> 05:33.920 So when I start writing you probably will go out of the screen. 05:34.320 --> 05:39.030 But that's about as much as I can effectively zoom in. 05:39.230 --> 05:40.150 OK. 05:42.060 --> 05:42.360 All right. 05:42.360 --> 05:44.480 So I want to go ahead and write my introduction now. 05:44.520 --> 05:46.220 And you're welcome to do the same. 05:46.230 --> 05:50.820 I'll be silent for about two minutes you will hear me speaking and then afterwards we can talk about 05:50.820 --> 05:50.990 it. 05:51.090 --> 05:52.020 OK. 07:47.110 --> 07:53.270 All right so there you have a look at my introduction. 07:53.680 --> 07:54.010 Right. 07:54.020 --> 08:00.190 We take a look at my introduction my introduction says a university request a report requires a look 08:00.190 --> 08:06.980 back to the year 2000 to analyze it part chart and table the detail of the USA UK Malaysia manage hazardous 08:07.090 --> 08:09.030 hazardous waste. 08:09.030 --> 08:09.290 All right. 08:09.300 --> 08:16.370 So when you take a look at my introduction I mean take a look at my introduction. 08:16.380 --> 08:20.110 I'm moving the screen so I can try to get both on at the same time. 08:20.440 --> 08:26.670 You can see that there is a use of symtom language. 08:26.680 --> 08:32.900 For example I don't say deal with as a man which I don't say dangerous I say hazardous. 08:33.190 --> 08:33.560 Right. 08:33.560 --> 08:40.750 So this is what they are looking for in terms of an introduction is very straightforward but really 08:40.750 --> 08:45.530 in their introduction what they're really are looking for is from the start. 08:45.670 --> 08:53.820 Does this person have the ability to paraphrase write this is presented really to paraphrase 08:57.360 --> 08:59.620 although yours looks pretty good. 08:59.640 --> 09:06.210 I would I would say although when I'm looking at yours you can you all can see what all wrote what maybe 09:06.210 --> 09:07.100 you can see on the road. 09:07.110 --> 09:07.930 I don't know. 09:08.090 --> 09:10.220 You probably can't feel the road. 09:11.790 --> 09:14.780 What the road is this. 09:14.860 --> 09:16.660 We have two pie charts. 09:16.660 --> 09:22.270 We make it bigger. 09:28.650 --> 09:30.970 I would guess pretty good. 09:30.970 --> 09:31.220 I don't. 09:31.230 --> 09:36.720 The only thing the only thing I would say is the last part down here there are three countries 09:39.150 --> 09:42.950 followed to get out of their serious ways. 09:43.080 --> 09:48.890 This right here you're going to have a you're going to have a word choice problem. 09:49.170 --> 09:56.900 Because that's just something we wouldn't see it that way in normal English to get out there. 09:56.910 --> 10:02.880 Serious waste serious is not really a synonym for dangerous. 10:03.070 --> 10:04.010 Right. 10:04.560 --> 10:05.320 It would it would. 10:05.330 --> 10:09.070 I mean if you were doing something like that right you would. 10:09.070 --> 10:23.490 His slogan is not really worded correctly. 10:24.820 --> 10:29.300 He would have to have a siddurim the word USA remove but he wouldn't say serious you have to say we're 10:29.310 --> 10:37.610 like treacherous or hazardous or you know you can say 10:48.160 --> 10:49.390 environmentally 10:51.550 --> 10:58.460 sensitive waste that's just a you know that's a way that you could say 11:01.970 --> 11:02.270 right. 11:02.270 --> 11:07.670 But you have to be able to say it in a way you have to be able to say it in a way that we would that 11:07.670 --> 11:09.800 we would use it in English. 11:09.800 --> 11:10.690 OK. 11:10.850 --> 11:12.350 All right but pretty good. 11:12.350 --> 11:16.330 All right so we've done we've done our first part. 11:16.900 --> 11:25.250 Someone illustrates the amount of dangerous waste which these three countries namely you face. 11:25.680 --> 11:32.030 The only thing I would say sit on is not is not make. 11:32.030 --> 11:33.910 We're talking about the past. 11:34.110 --> 11:37.950 So you wouldn't use it as you need to use was right. 11:37.950 --> 11:44.070 That's that's a question that people ask me sometimes and I think just in general I mean there are two 11:44.070 --> 11:49.890 ways of thinking about it but just in general if it's in the past just try to keep your language in 11:49.890 --> 11:57.420 the past as much as possible within the future of course your language and be future oriented so we 11:57.420 --> 11:59.740 can really talk about it. 12:00.110 --> 12:00.460 All right. 12:00.510 --> 12:02.930 So but pretty good. 12:03.060 --> 12:10.980 So the next part first part is done and the next part is we have to do a general overview in case we 12:10.980 --> 12:18.440 have to do a general overview and when we're doing a general overview we're looking at the pie chart 12:18.750 --> 12:26.940 and the table and we're going to talk about the general obvious things that we see now when we're doing 12:26.940 --> 12:29.430 the general overview we're not getting into numbers. 12:29.430 --> 12:32.130 We're not getting into comparison of numbers. 12:32.130 --> 12:34.330 That's not the goal. 12:34.410 --> 12:35.330 OK. 12:35.430 --> 12:40.300 You don't get to you shouldn't see any percentages and numbers and things like that in a general overview 12:40.740 --> 12:44.610 a general overview is general right. 12:44.880 --> 12:53.310 So what are the most obvious things that you see the most obvious general clear items that you see from 12:53.310 --> 12:55.080 the pie chart and the table. 12:55.320 --> 12:55.970 Okay. 12:56.020 --> 13:07.780 So I'm going to go ahead and take probably three minutes to type my general overview paragraph and you 13:07.780 --> 13:11.110 can go ahead and take some time to do the same. 13:11.480 --> 13:17.300 And I'll talk to you in about three minutes and you'll see me typing on the screen 17:08.590 --> 17:10.050 sorry for your solve it for a minute. 17:10.090 --> 17:23.790 But there is my general paragraph my general overview my general overview right. 17:23.800 --> 17:30.270 So one thing will note that I got one thing that I'd point out a couple of things to you. 17:30.400 --> 17:34.460 Well you can see that the the general information that I use that's obvious. 17:34.930 --> 17:41.230 But the other other thing that I really want to point out to you is that they're grading your level 17:41.230 --> 17:41.910 of writing. 17:41.920 --> 17:47.380 They're looking at your level of writing so you know they're grading you on how will you address or 17:47.380 --> 17:53.860 answer the question they're grading you on your coherence your grammar and your vocabulary. 17:53.860 --> 18:04.610 So when you look at my paragraph here we see that I have done two compound sentences right. 18:04.620 --> 18:07.940 So I've shown the ability to do compound sentences. 18:07.950 --> 18:14.490 The other thing that you'll see which I really want to point out to you is when you look at this paragraph 18:14.490 --> 18:19.290 my second paragraph you don't see me use any verbs. 18:20.370 --> 18:20.800 Right. 18:20.820 --> 18:22.110 What I say be verbs. 18:22.150 --> 18:30.600 Does everybody know what I mean when I say be verbs be verbs or like is are was were you don't you don't 18:30.600 --> 18:37.690 see me using those kind of of words you don't see me using those words. 18:37.740 --> 18:46.300 And the reason why I point that out is B verbs are the base the most basic form of writing. 18:46.410 --> 18:46.640 Right. 18:46.650 --> 18:53.190 When you first learn how to how to speak in English and write in English the first things you say are. 18:53.310 --> 18:58.100 My name is Ola Rye. 18:58.170 --> 19:04.020 I was you know you you you always are using B verbs. 19:04.040 --> 19:11.450 Now look at the verbs I'm using here and this is how you instead of using the verbs I'm using more advanced 19:11.450 --> 19:16.390 level verbs you see the word exploited. 19:16.580 --> 19:25.750 You see that you see the verb accumulated you see the verb generated right. 19:25.830 --> 19:29.730 That's the mark of high level writing. 19:30.060 --> 19:30.750 Right. 19:30.750 --> 19:39.710 Most of you most people or most students when I see them writing they heavily heavily rely on verbs 19:41.370 --> 19:46.770 and that's OK but sometimes people ask me and that's why I'm doing it this way today. 19:47.040 --> 19:54.420 Sometimes people ask me Well you know if I want to get a 8 or 9 was the best way to do that. 19:54.450 --> 19:55.920 Stop using the beaver. 19:55.950 --> 19:59.940 Stop using the helping verbs stop using the has the have the had.
