WEBVTT 00:01.200 --> 00:01.980 OK. 00:02.010 --> 00:10.830 So let's go over some really important tips and not just give you a few little like example responses 00:11.280 --> 00:14.200 of really how you're supposed to do part number one. 00:14.260 --> 00:16.000 Here are the basics already. 00:16.080 --> 00:17.730 They're going to ask you some questions. 00:17.730 --> 00:21.720 This is a easy section of an arc on all kinds of stuff. 00:21.720 --> 00:28.590 Music plants colors where you live where you stay in the work or you study that kind of stuff. 00:28.590 --> 00:33.800 He'll ask for about nine minutes. 00:34.350 --> 00:37.310 You know here are some of the keys to a great score. 00:37.900 --> 00:42.850 All right you want to make sure that you say your sentences smoothly from beginning to end. 00:43.110 --> 00:45.090 That's really really important. 00:45.180 --> 00:53.820 In addition to that definitely use your connectors and discourse markers using your connectors in your 00:53.820 --> 00:57.690 discourse markers is extremely helpful. 00:57.690 --> 00:58.310 All right. 00:58.360 --> 00:59.240 That does it. 00:59.330 --> 01:05.550 See this is the big problem with a lot of students is they don't they don't know what it takes to get 01:05.550 --> 01:06.830 a good grade. 01:06.840 --> 01:08.840 They think well I just didn't answer the question. 01:08.840 --> 01:09.330 That's all 01:12.280 --> 01:19.680 I just need to say a response and just get a response out and move on to the next question and try to 01:19.680 --> 01:23.870 hurry up as fast as possible. 01:26.730 --> 01:28.520 That's not what you're supposed to do. 01:28.910 --> 01:29.310 OK. 01:29.340 --> 01:31.890 That's not what you're supposed to do. 01:31.890 --> 01:34.730 Paraphrase the question don't answer. 01:34.730 --> 01:41.640 Using the exact same words used a variety of sentences and match a verb tense to the question. 01:41.640 --> 01:44.400 Use specific vocabulary to the question. 01:44.490 --> 01:47.740 OK use subject specific vocabulary. 01:49.800 --> 01:55.430 Answer the question directly and then extend or explain your answer with more detail. 01:55.500 --> 01:56.990 You understand. 01:57.060 --> 02:03.120 Answer the question directly with with synonym which and then extend or explain your answer with more 02:03.120 --> 02:04.970 detail. 02:04.980 --> 02:07.130 Another think that another thing is very helpful. 02:07.130 --> 02:12.750 Read through all these part one questions that I have here in this document here because if you read 02:12.750 --> 02:18.030 through all these part one questions you'll have and you practice answering them the way I'm telling 02:18.030 --> 02:21.290 you by answering and extending your answer. 02:21.360 --> 02:24.910 You're going to become very very comfortable when you take the real exam. 02:24.930 --> 02:29.240 Being able to answer these questions the right kind of way. 02:29.250 --> 02:33.750 This right here is a little bit of answer strategy like in terms of how to answer. 02:33.840 --> 02:39.300 Basically talking about what I what I said in terms of answering and extending your answer. 02:39.300 --> 02:44.220 So if you need to pause the tape and you kind of you can kind of read through that can get a good idea 02:44.220 --> 02:44.770 of it. 02:45.150 --> 02:52.140 Right so this is what I mean in terms I'm going to give you a few examples of like how to answer questions 02:52.140 --> 02:52.890 right. 02:53.400 --> 02:56.970 So if they ask you a question like what's your full name. 02:56.970 --> 02:59.970 Right you don't want to say stuff like my full name is. 03:00.120 --> 03:00.910 What's the full name. 03:00.930 --> 03:02.920 My full name is. 03:03.000 --> 03:05.110 That's what I mean by repeating the question. 03:05.490 --> 03:08.320 OK that's what I mean by repeating the question. 03:08.340 --> 03:15.830 Answer the question directly and then go ahead and extend that answer right. 03:15.930 --> 03:19.250 So for example what is your full name. 03:20.640 --> 03:28.410 My parents name me John Williams when I was born and they chose the name John because it was the name 03:28.410 --> 03:36.000 of my great grandfather who was a very famous man in the engineering field right. 03:36.170 --> 03:41.610 You see all that was much better than my name is and I answered it directly. 03:41.960 --> 03:44.170 OK you don't have to repeat the question. 03:44.240 --> 03:45.140 All right. 03:45.170 --> 03:46.400 You don't have to repeat the question. 03:46.400 --> 03:53.600 Try your best to answer directly as much as you can as much as you can tell me about the country you're 03:53.600 --> 03:54.810 from. 03:54.810 --> 03:55.280 You don't. 03:55.340 --> 03:55.640 Don't. 03:55.640 --> 04:00.420 Don't say I am from China. 04:00.510 --> 04:01.740 Tell me about the country you're from. 04:01.740 --> 04:03.270 I'm from China. 04:03.270 --> 04:04.870 Can you stop right there. 04:05.250 --> 04:06.590 That's a bad answer. 04:06.870 --> 04:07.560 OK. 04:07.830 --> 04:12.220 That's not the kind of answer that's going to get you a very high score. 04:12.320 --> 04:12.690 Right. 04:12.690 --> 04:22.140 So when they say Tell me about the country you're from this is how you give a a this or you give a really 04:22.140 --> 04:23.150 proper answer to them. 04:23.160 --> 04:25.430 Tell me about the country you're from. 04:25.650 --> 04:29.270 While there are many wonderful countries around the world. 04:29.340 --> 04:33.800 I think my country Brazil is one of the best around. 04:34.500 --> 04:44.400 As you may know Brazil is located in South America and it is has as neighbors who are Agwai and Columbia 04:44.430 --> 04:45.940 and a few other countries. 04:47.970 --> 04:48.720 All right. 04:48.720 --> 04:50.550 So you see how I answer it. 04:50.660 --> 04:55.300 And I extended my answer answer and extended my answer. 04:55.670 --> 04:56.590 OK. 04:56.680 --> 05:03.320 So that's how you're supposed to answer questions you answer and you extend the answer. 05:04.060 --> 05:04.770 OK. 05:04.920 --> 05:07.070 Tim tell me about your house right. 05:07.080 --> 05:08.580 Tell me about your house. 05:08.580 --> 05:12.070 So again answer an extended answer. 05:12.070 --> 05:13.940 Tell me about your house. 05:14.820 --> 05:21.070 Well currently I'm living with a host family in Denver Colorado. 05:22.110 --> 05:29.190 And if I were to describe the house I would definitely have to say that it is a beautiful three story 05:29.760 --> 05:34.800 brick house located on the east side of the city. 05:34.860 --> 05:42.870 The house is very very well designed and it has everything that a person can need to really to really 05:42.870 --> 05:46.410 study well here in Denver Colorado. 05:46.590 --> 05:53.460 The house has five bedrooms a kitchen a living room a dining room and a basement that is well designed 05:53.460 --> 05:55.670 with games and activities for everyone. 05:57.890 --> 05:58.380 OK. 05:58.420 --> 06:02.320 See that's the kind of answer that's going to be able to get you. 06:02.390 --> 06:07.280 They really really give us a really really good score here. 06:07.280 --> 06:10.480 Do you like to write e-mails don't say. 06:10.670 --> 06:12.620 Yes I'd like to write e-mails. 06:12.620 --> 06:15.260 That is her bad answer. 06:16.310 --> 06:17.120 OK. 06:17.260 --> 06:26.380 Answer be direct Be direct and then extend be direct and extend be direct and extend. 06:26.570 --> 06:34.630 So if they say do you like do you like to do you like to write e-mails I probably compose about 10 to 06:34.630 --> 06:36.840 15 emails every day. 06:37.150 --> 06:45.860 So I would definitely say that I enjoy that aspect of writing emails to people. 06:46.030 --> 06:52.810 I think that when I write an email it conveys my complete thought and also it gives a chance for the 06:52.810 --> 06:55.800 person to respond to me in their own time. 06:58.760 --> 07:02.620 Again you see the answer directly I did not repeat the question. 07:02.650 --> 07:03.430 OK. 07:03.670 --> 07:05.180 Try your best try. 07:05.330 --> 07:08.810 And I know it's hard sometimes we all forget or forget sometimes. 07:09.210 --> 07:14.450 OK in terms of not repeating the question but that's what we have to be able to do. 07:14.560 --> 07:17.960 Inka you want to be able to answer in that kind of way. 07:18.460 --> 07:23.840 And and then answer and extend and be used and you sit in a language from the question. 07:24.160 --> 07:29.740 So when you're answering all these different questions for part one just make sure you do that. 07:29.740 --> 07:33.320 Make sure you make sure you actually go about doing that. 07:33.450 --> 07:36.070 I we're like here do you. 07:36.160 --> 07:37.560 Let's talk about fashion. 07:37.570 --> 07:40.920 Do you like fashionable things again. 07:41.020 --> 07:44.440 Bad answer yes I like fashionable things. 07:45.300 --> 07:45.710 Right. 07:45.810 --> 07:47.070 And then you stop right there. 07:47.100 --> 07:48.530 That's a bad answer. 07:48.750 --> 07:54.360 You have to show that you have an ability to speak English when you when you're able to answer and extend 07:54.360 --> 07:55.500 your answer. 07:55.500 --> 08:02.250 That's what shows that you have the ability to really do well in terms of really that you really have 08:02.250 --> 08:03.420 a high level of English. 08:03.420 --> 08:11.200 Saul if you were to if you were if you were responding to this if you were responding to do you like 08:11.200 --> 08:20.010 fashionable things you might say when I was much younger I did not appreciate fashion very much. 08:20.260 --> 08:30.740 But now I enjoy all of the latest fashion in terms of clothes magazines and also music. 08:30.880 --> 08:32.530 That's a good answer. 08:33.160 --> 08:42.300 And I use the complex senses I started with when do you dress differently on weekends and weekdays. 08:43.170 --> 08:43.570 OK. 08:43.570 --> 08:48.610 Again we don't want to just give a basic repeating question. 08:49.940 --> 08:51.100 OK. 08:51.370 --> 08:59.080 So a proper answer to this question might be the weekend then the week days are totally separate from 08:59.080 --> 09:05.850 me and I treat them much much different that I treat them very very differently during the week. 09:05.860 --> 09:15.270 I would very often wear business clothes which means that I will have on long button up shirt and slacks. 09:15.280 --> 09:22.130 However on the weekend you may find me in shorts sandals and a T-shirt headed out to the beach. 09:22.360 --> 09:28.200 So I would definitely say if someone were to see me they would see two different people. 09:31.450 --> 09:32.280 OK. 09:32.840 --> 09:38.130 So answer extend explain answer extend explain. 09:38.360 --> 09:43.610 Another thing that you have to make sure that you really be careful with when you're answering the question 09:43.610 --> 09:46.560 is don't go outside the box or the question. 09:46.820 --> 09:47.770 OK. 09:47.780 --> 09:51.320 Don't go outside the box of the question don't do that. 09:51.320 --> 09:51.620 All right. 09:51.610 --> 09:52.910 Don't go outside the box. 09:52.910 --> 09:58.820 The question you know don't what I mean by that is if they're asking you if they're asking you about 09:58.820 --> 10:02.010 do you like fashionable things. 10:02.620 --> 10:12.230 And you know you shouldn't go outside the box the question and start talking about your favorite your 10:12.230 --> 10:13.850 favorite fashion designer. 10:13.860 --> 10:16.420 Or I mean just going really outside the question. 10:16.550 --> 10:19.350 Try to stay within the question OK. 10:19.550 --> 10:25.460 Try to stay within the question and that's very very important because a lot of students have a tendency 10:26.030 --> 10:31.040 to go off in the wrong direction when trying to answer questions and they end up. 10:31.040 --> 10:35.740 And then that's why the the greater has to tell them to stop speaking because they gone. 10:35.750 --> 10:37.220 They've gone off track. 10:37.490 --> 10:38.230 OK. 10:39.020 --> 10:44.090 So I would really encourage you to go through these questions and try answering the questions the way 10:44.090 --> 10:50.570 I just explained to you in terms of answering and extending your answer answering and extending your 10:50.570 --> 10:53.450 answer answer and extend your answer. 10:53.450 --> 10:54.320 All right. 10:54.320 --> 10:55.990 So I'll talk to you soon.
