OK so let's go ahead and take a look at this next.
Let's take a look at this next section three practice Four aisles.
Listening in this practice we have multiple.
We have some multiple choice questions and a chart right here starting at number 21.
Then we'll go.
Then it will go to 22 23 24 25 26.
As you know it goes in order.
Right.
It goes in order.
All right.
So we know we know what the field the blank question the most important thing is to pay attention to
the language that is before or after the blank line depending on how the question is written for number
twenty one.
We're going to pay attention to the words surrounded whatever this is it's surrounded by trees.
OK.
So that's our keyword.
That's our key language there.
Surrounded by trees whatever this answer is.
It has to connect to surrounded by trees.
Now how are they going to.
How are they going to try to trick us here.
Well they may have synonym language for surrounded or they may change the or they may change up the
word order.
They may change the word order meaning that they instead they'll put the answer after they say surrounded
by trees.
So you have to watch out for them reversing the word order.
And watch out for synonyms for number twenty two.
Key word is noticing him.
It says add Malcolm and a blank noticing him.
All right.
Twenty three people who are blank outside the force.
Key words are outside the force.
Whatever this answer is is connected to outside the force.
Remember we have to hear that language.
All right.
Twenty four and Malcolm sitting on a tree trunk and blank whatever this answer is is connected the tree
trunk.
Keep in mind when they speak they may see it before it.
Tree trunk like they may say a rock and a tree trunk a in here says a tree trunk and a rock.
So it depends on how they do it.
Ice skaters on blank cover with ice.
All right.
The ice skaters on cover with ICE so you get it.
All right.
And now in the second part in the second part down here we have this question here right.
This is our multiple choice question where we have our.
Here we have our names in the box and we have our questions.
Remember it goes in order.
Start at twenty seven.
Then they'll hit 28 then they'll hit twenty nine.
Then they'll have 30.
So twenty seven says how they plan the project.
And so we just we just we have to listen for which name or names plan the project.
Helen only Jeremy only.
Both Helen and German.
Jeremy neither Hillary Helen nor German Jeremy.
Keep in mind they get really really tricky here when they're doing this really tricky.
And what I mean by that is they're going to say Well Jeremy didn't do it.
And and Jeremy didn't do it.
So they'll they'll say they'll say a name the name of the person who did not do it right.
And then they'll say the answer the person who did do it.
Or they'll say both Helen and Jeff you know Helen in German.
Jeremy did the project because Helen didn't want to do it alone.
Right.
So you see they said the correct answer and then they gave you one of the answer choices does wrong.
So you have to keep in mind they're going to use synonym language for that word.
Only most likely they're not going to say only because they alone by herself by himself with no one
else.
There's a lot of synonym language so you can say instead of saying the word only.
OK.
So then I'll go to twenty eight.
So it's all about you have to be able to again look at the keywords in your question plan the project
how they had how they got ideas for their stories and interpretation of their stories.
You had to listen for that keyword language in the question.
So you'll know when they're going from one question to the next.
OK.
So let's go ahead and play this and then we will we'll go through it.
All right.
This one is coming from book 11.
This is test three from book 11.
I got a book eleven when it came out book Eleven is a great book.
Very very good practice.
I encourage you to go out and buy that book is the latest practice book that you can get.
I have my hard copy of the book encourage you to get your hard copy also.
I think is good when you're practicing.
I'm teaching this course online.
But when you're practicing on your own I think it's really good to use a hard copy and use actual paper
because for the isles exam it is actual paper that that you're going to be using.
And I'm a big believer in your practicing in the same way that the test is designed.
I also have a total course on the total course.
It's OK it's OK to do it in regards to it's OK to do it on the computer and practice on the computer.
Also if you if you're practicing because it is a computer based test so I encourage you to go out there
and get the new Cambridge isles book Eleven because I think it's fabulous practice for you.
All right let's keep going
Hello Helen.
Sorry I'm late.
Hi Jeremy.
No problem.
Well we'd better work out where we are on our project I suppose.
Yeah I've looked at the drawings you've done for my story the forest and I think they're brilliant.
They really create the atmosphere I had in mind when I was writing it.
I'm glad you liked them.
There are just a few suggestions I'd like to make.
Go ahead.
Now I'm not sure about the drawing of the cave.
It's got trees all around it which is great but the drawings a bit too static isn't it.
I think it needs some action.
Yes.
There's nothing happening perhaps I should add the boy Malcolm isn't it.
He would be walking up to it.
Yes let's have Malcolm in the drawing.
And what about putting in a Tiger the one that he makes friends with a bit later.
Maybe it could be sitting under a tree washing itself and the tiger stops in the middle of what it's
doing when it sees Malcolm walking past.
That's a good idea.
Okay I'll have a go at that.
Then there's the drawing of the crowd of men and women dancing there just outside the forest and there's
a lot going on.
That's right.
You wanted them to be watching a carnival procession.
I thought it would be too crowded.
Do you think it works like this.
Yes.
I like what you've done.
The only thing is could you add Malcolm to it without changing what's already there.
What about having him sitting on the tree trunk on the right of the picture.
Yes that would be fine.
And do you want him watching the other people.
No he's been left out of all the fun.
So I'd like him to be crying.
That'll contrast nicely with the next picture where he's laughing at the clowns in the carnival right.
I'll do that and then the drawing of the people ice skating in the forest.
I wasn't too happy with that one because they're supposed to be skating on grass aren't they.
That's right.
And it's frozen over at the moment.
It doesn't look quite right.
I see what you mean.
I'll have another go at that.
And I like the wool hats they're wearing.
Maybe you could give each of them a scarf as well.
Yeah.
That's easy enough.
They can be streaming out behind the people to suggest they're skating really fast.
Great.
Well that's all on the drawings right.
So you've finished writing your story and I just need to finish illustrating it and my story and your
drawings are done.
I think number 21 was the was what was pretty easy.
Most of them were pretty good.
They weren't too difficult.
What really happens.
Well really what really happens is you know for a lot of students is just that the English gets more
difficult.
He'll feel the blank question is the same as it is for four for Section One except for the language
is much easier.
But here we have we have more difficult synonym language listened to and so the process can be a little
bit more difficult.
Hello Helen.
Sorry I'm late.
Hi Jeremy.
No problem.
Well we'd better work out where we are on our project I suppose.
Yeah I've looked at the drawings you've done for my story the forest and I think they're brilliant.
They really create the atmosphere I had in mind when I was writing it.
I'm glad you liked them.
There are just a few suggestions I'd like to make.
Go ahead.
Now I'm not sure about the drawing of the cave.
It's got trees all around it which is great but the drawings are a bit too static isn't it.
All right.
So the answer to number 21 is cave see a the cave because he said it has trees all around it it has
trees all around it.
Okay.
All right.
Now the Bush the Senate was the synonym for the word surrounded all around it.
Right.
I'm not sure about the cave because it has trees all around it.
What else do they do here.
They they changed up the word order from the way is written in the question here it says here and the
question says surrounded by trees right as they're surrounded by trees.
When they gave the answer in the in the conversation the man said I don't know about the cave because
it has trees.
So they say the word trees first.
Then they say it all around it which is synonym for surrounded.
So they use synonym language and they changed up the word order.
Okay.
And that's what we have to be aware of.
It does is not going to be.
It does especially when you get into sections 3 and 4 things are not going to just come in to say in
the same word order right here.
They're using synonyms and changing the word order.
And you have to be aware of that.
So number 21 is cave CEV isn't it.
I think it needs some action.
There's nothing happening perhaps I should add the boy Malcolm isn't it.
He would be walking up to it.
Yes let's have Malcolm in the drawing.
And what about putting in a Tiger the one that he makes friends with a bit later maybe it could be sitting
under a tree washing itself and the tiger stops in the middle of what it's doing when it sees Malcolm
walking past.
That's a good idea.
Okay I'll have a go at that.
Then there's the drawing.
So a 22 is Tiger.
OK.
Because they said you know what about a tiger.
And then later on they say the tiger stops stops washing himself as he's walking past.
Right.
So there that's the that's the same as saying noticing him.
Right.
The tiger stops what he's doing and is looking at him that's the same as saying noticing him.
All right.
So number 22 is Tiger t I GDR Tiger.
All right.
So there what they did was is very interesting they gave you the answer because he said.
And what about a tiger because as Malcolm Wright Malcolm in when you say it.
And what about a Tiger we know Tiger and then they said a few more things and then they talked about
the tiger stopping to wash himself as he was as he was passing by.
And that's that that's the part that references noticing him.
OK.
All right so all to do well on this on his listening part you got to really show your ability to use
Indian language.
OK.
I'll have a go at that.
Then there's the drawing of the crowd of men and women dancing there just outside the forest and there's
a lot going on.
That's right.
You wanted them to be watching a carnival procession.
I thought it would be all right.
Number 23 is dancing.
There's the crowd of men and women dancing there just outside the forest.
So we wish that that one number 23 was direct.
Right now they didn't say people.
Right there you said on them language they said the crowd of men and women.
That's a synonym for saying people.
OK.
And then he said dancing.
Then he paused a little bit.
He said just outside the force.
So we could see in number 23 is dancing D.A. and CNG a lot going on.
That's right.
You wanted them to be watching a carnival procession.
I thought it would be too crowded.
Do you think it works like this.
Yes.
I like what you've done.
The only thing is could you add Malcolm to it without changing what's already there.
What about having him sitting on the tree trunk on the right of the picture.
Yes that would be fine.
And do you want him watching the other people.
No he's been left out of all the fun.
So I'd like him to be crying.
That'll contrast nicely with the next picture where he's laughing at the clown.
Oh so here to a 24 is crying.
So let's look at what we do here for number 20.
Here's a look of what they did for number 24 to make it difficult.
Right they talked with the woman said Here here's here's a situation where we have it where a person
a one of the people say an answer choice they say a possible answer choice and the other person rejects
it.
Right.
Because she said.
And what about.
Listen I'll let you listen to a little bit and see for you.
See for yourself.
What about having him sitting on the tree trunk on the right of the picture.
Yes that would be fine.
And do you want him watching the other people.
No he's been left out of all the fun.
So I see.
See you see six.
See she said.
And do you want him watching the other people.
So she threw out a possible answer.
And do you want him watching the other people.
No he's been left out of all the fun.
So I said no I'd like him to be crying.
So the correct answer for 24 is crying so you can see here in Section 3 as the same way a section was
under Section 2.
They're using the same traps and the same tricks right.
And for this one they said OK let's have one person throw out a possible answer then the other person
will say no that's not it and we'll say the correct answer.
OK.
So crying C are y c r y I N G.
That'll contrast nicely with the next picture where he's laughing at the clowns in the carnival.
Right.
I'll do that.
And then the drawing of the people ice skating in the forest.
I wasn't too happy with that one because they're supposed to be skating on grass aren't they.
That's right.
And it's frozen over at the moment right.
So the answer is grass.
They're supposed to be skating on grass but it's frozen over frozen over is synonym for covered with
ice frozen over FROZEN FROZEN OVER is synonym for covered with ice.
They said they're supposed to be skating on grass.
G are a SS But what is frozen.
What is frozen over.
OK so we know this answer choice as we do we know this answer choice for twenty five has to be connected
to cover with ice but they didn't say cover with ice.
They said the grass was frozen over the grass is covered with ice.
So that's what that answer is grass G are a SS at the moment it doesn't look quite right.
I see what you mean.
I'll have another go at that.
Mm hmm.
And I liked the wool hats they're wearing.
Maybe you could give each of them a scarf as well.
Yeah.
That's easy enough.
Give each of them a scarf.
So the correct answer is scarf.
Now in this situation they didn't really play a lot.
They didn't play a lot with the language but they gave you a word that they think is tricky to spell.
So how do you spell the word scarf right.
Try to try to spell that word scarf and see if you're going to be able to spell it the same way as me
when I write the answers now but scarf at the moment it doesn't look quite right.
I see what you mean.
I'll have another go at that.
Mm hmm.
And I liked the wool hats they're wearing.
Maybe you could give each of them a scarf as well.
Yeah.
That's easy enough.
They can be streaming out behind the people to suggest they're skating really fast.
Great.
Well that's all on the drawings all right.
So let's stop right there and then we're gonna go on to our next lecture.
I'll talk to you soon.
