OK.
So now let's go through a another section number two.
Example Four aisles listening.
And remember when we're doing child listening we only have two types of questions that we have to deal
with is either going to be multiple choice or feel the blank.
That's it.
Yes all we have to deal with now in this one when we look at this particular set here.
Here we have our our standard multiple choice questions eleven through 14 and then we have our our multiple
choice questions where little looks like this and when this kind of multiple choice question.
I'm making a little bit smaller might be easier to look at at one time with this multiple choice questions
we have our questions down here 15 through 20 right now remember Four aisles listening it goes in order.
So they're going to do 15.
Then they're going to do sixteen then 17.
OK.
So when they're doing these questions first they're gonna they're gonna talk about Asia and when they
talk about Asia they're going to mention one of these one of these answer choices in the box.
Right.
I mentioned one of these answer choices in the box now is very important is very important for you to
understand how they go about trying to trick you or fool you as to what's the actual answer choice here.
Many times what they'll do instead of instead of saying answers directly in the box like like jewels
maybe they'll say diamonds and rubies.
OK.
So they'll use they'll use synonym language they'll use synonym language for words.
The correct answer is they're in the box.
Also sometimes what they'll do is they'll say an answer choice but say it's not it like they'll say
and in Antarctica we don't find any mountains right but we will find a lot of rubies and diamonds.
So the correct answer you will put is these four jewels because rubies and diamonds are a synonym for
jewels but you have to be careful with the traps and tricks that they try to use.
OK.
So we're going to go ahead and play this audio.
And then after we play this audio I'm going to walk you through it.
I'm going to play it again and walk you through it and try to point out for you what were some of the
traps and tricks remember for these kind of multiple choice questions is very important if you look
at the question and look at the keywords in the question and in terms of answer choices remember they
love to use the synonym language for the correct answer choice.
Right.
So here says the idea for the two the two new developments in the city came from right.
Where did the idea for developments come from right.
That's what you should circle right here says What is unusual about reconcile pool key word unusual
and reconcile pool.
What's unusual.
OK.
Remember listen for them to use synonym language for an answer twice.
I've said that many many times and you have to be aware of that.
OK.
So let's go and play the audio and then try your best to try your best to answer.
OK.
All right.
So here we go.
Let me turn the audio up.
Audio is up and let's go ahead and get started everyone.
OK so during this time for eleven through 14 we will be going we will be going through each question
limit through 14 very quickly and circling the keywords in the questions because listening after those
key words would help us know when the answer was being said and then when I get to a question down here
like this I'm going to be looking at the the at these words in the box.
QUESTION
Good morning.
I'm very pleased to have this opportunity to say a little about two exciting new developments in the
city.
The break inside open air swimming pool and the Children's Adventure Playground in Central Park as many
of you may know the idea for these initiatives came from you the public an extensive consultation exercise
with the City Council conducted last year and they have been realized using money from the S.W. RDC
the South-West Regional Development Commission first of all Bracken inside pool as many of the older
members of the audience will remember they used to be a wonderful open air pool on the seafront 30 years
ago but it had to close when it was judged to be unsafe for the design of this new heated pool.
We were very happy to secure the talons of internationally renowned architect Alan Wyndham who has managed
to combine a charming 1930s design which fits in so well with many of the other buildings in the area
with up to the minute features such as a recycling system the only one of its kind in the world which
enables seawater to be used in the pool now.
There's been quite a bit of discussion in the local press about whether there would be enough room for
the number of visitors we're hoping to attract but the design is deceptive and there have been rigorous
checks about capacity.
Also just in case you were wondering we're on schedule for June the 15th opening date and well within
budget a testimony to the excellent work of local contractors Hickman's we hope that as many people
as possible will be there on June 15th.
We have engaged award winning actress coral white to declare the pool open and there'll be drinks and
snacks available at the pool side.
There'll also be a competition for the public to decide on the sculpture we plan to have at the entrance.
You will decide which famous historical figure from the city we should have.
So let's back up and let's go through the answers for let's go through the answers four numbers eleven
through fourteen all right and I'll try to.
I'm going to play for you will stop it along the way so I can point out for you how they tried to trick
you and trap you with these particular questions and I'll tell you the answers
I so they really tried to do some things to try to trick you here and I'm going to try to point that
out for you
good morning.
I'm very pleased to have this opportunity to say a little about two exciting new developments in the
city.
The BRAC inside open air swimming pool and the Children's Adventure Playground in Central Park as many
of you may know the idea for these initiatives came from you the public an extensive consultation exercise
with the City Council conducted last year and that is right.
So that's our that's that's our correct answer there for number eleven.
Right.
That's our correct answer.
He's the man said it came from you the public right.
And that's what we wanted that's what those were the key words we had Circle for number 11.
It came from you the public.
We want to know who it came from.
Now if you notice you the public is synonym for what local people you the public is synonym for local
people.
So the correct answer for number eleven is a the correct answer number eleven is a.
However keep listening.
Keep listening and you're going to hear them mentioned the city council mentioned as W.R. D.C. But when
they mention them they said nothing about an idea coming from them.
That's why understanding the key words in the language are so key words in the question are so important.
And they have been realized using money from the S.W. RDC the southwest regional development commission
first of all BRAC inside Poul right.
So they mentioned S.W. RDC.
They mentioned City Council earlier.
There's nothing about that's where the idea came from.
OK in the beginning they said the idea came from you the public OK.
You heard the magic words idea you heard and your heard the words from we heard you the public you the
public is synonym for local people we're picking synonym matches people picking Senator matches.
That's how you know how to do this kind of question for the design of this new heated pool.
We were very happy to secure the talons of internationally renowned architect Alan Windham who managed
to combine a charming 1930s design which fits in so well with many of the other buildings in the area
with up to the minute features.
All right.
So here they're trying to trap you again.
They say for this new heated pool right.
A lot of students were pick choice B because they say oh oh he said the word heated.
There's the word heating I'm going to pick that answer choice.
That's not how it works.
OK.
They're trying to trick you.
That's not the answer because when you heard something about heat it you did not hear a connection to
the word unusual all right.
Remember we're listening for which of these answer choices a B or C is connected to the word unusual.
That's the way it's done everybody.
The talents internationally renowned architect there they mentioned the word architect.
OK.
For for architectural again trying to get there using exact language to try to pull you in and make
you try to choose that answer choice.
But again no connection to on you who's managed to combine a charming 1930s design which fits in so
well with many of the other buildings in the area with up to the minute features such as a recycling
system the only one of its kind in the world which enables seawater to be used.
There we go.
A recycling system the only one of its kind in the world.
The only one of its kind in the world is synonym for
only recycling system a synonym for water treatment place a method of water treatment recycling system
and only one of its kind in the world is synonym for unusual.
So the correct answer for number twelve is C. pick answers they use synonym matching.
Now there's been quite a bit of discussion in the local press about whether there would be enough room
for the number of visitors.
We're hoping to attract but the design is deceptive and there have been rigorous checks about capacity.
Also just in case you were wondering we're on schedule for June the 15th opening date and well within
budget opening date you don't a is wrong.
All right.
You automatically know a is wrong.
OK.
You automatically know a is wrong because they say the exact words opening date.
All right.
That's how you can recognize wrong answers.
The correct answer even number 13 is C because it talked about them at all they were talking about the
size and whether or not it would have enough capacity.
Right.
Talking about whether or not it would have enough capacity or have enough room.
We're talking about that synonym for talking about the size of the facilities.
Ok but be careful be careful be careful because a lot of students will pick a choice a because they
heard the words opening date but they were worried about the capacity and that there will be enough
room for everybody.
So the correct answer you would pick for number 13 would be C a testimony to the excellent work of local
contractors Hickman's we hope that as many people as possible will be there on June 15th we have engaged
award winning actress Carol White to declare the pool open and there'll be drinks and snacks available
at the poolside there is the trap again.
Here we have the we're open in choice in choice see for number 14 opening for choice B again don't pick
an answer choice just because you hear the same word we're listening for what decision has not been
made.
OK listen for what decision has not been made.
There will also be a competition for the public to decide on the sculpture we plan to have at the entrance.
You will decide
there is an answer.
There'll be a competition for the public decide the sculpture that will be at the entrance.
Right.
So there'll be a competition to decide it.
So right now they don't know.
They don't know what sculpture is going to be at the entrance.
But again choice a fits are synonym match right.
Sculpture is a synonym for statue.
Entrance is a synonym for door.
That means for choice 14 The answer is a.
OK.
Do you understand how it works for these multiple choice questions.
All right.
That's the way it works for multiple choice questions.
That's what you have to be able to do.
All right you have to be able to pick out synonym matches.
You have to be able to pick up scent in the matches have to high.
So let's play the tape.
We'll go through it and then we'll answer questions 15 through 20.
But I hope you've learned something because this strategy that I'm teaching you about how to answer
these multiple choice questions like this it applies throughout the whole test is the same way for Section
3 is the same way for Section Four.
The only difference is the language gets more difficult.
That's what's really different.
Different the language gets more difficult.
All right.
So we're going to stop this lecture tape here and then listen for the next lecture as we're going to
go in the next lecture.
We're going to be going through questions 15 through 20 with me explaining them to you.
And so that you can again see how it works in regards to sending him language OK.
So I will talk to you very soon.
