WEBVTT 00:00.600 --> 00:02.460 OK let's go ahead and get started. 00:02.490 --> 00:10.170 We're looking at another section for as we know one section four it goes directly straight through from 00:10.170 --> 00:14.450 check from section on me from question 31 to 40. 00:14.900 --> 00:21.120 The the way we do Section 4 is the same way we do such as 1 2 and 3 when it comes to fill the blank 00:21.120 --> 00:26.790 questions we have to pay attention to the language that comes before or after the blank line because 00:26.790 --> 00:28.820 that's what our keyword will condense were. 00:28.980 --> 00:31.930 That's what our answer choice will connect to. 00:31.950 --> 00:32.850 All right. 00:32.850 --> 00:35.760 They answer choice always connect to that language. 00:35.760 --> 00:40.110 Another thing that you have to do when it comes to Section 4 and also this this is what happens in Section 00:40.110 --> 00:41.010 3. 00:41.160 --> 00:45.230 You have to make sure you follow with the conversation OK. 00:45.300 --> 00:47.490 You can't get lost in the conversation. 00:47.580 --> 00:52.860 So it's really important that you really I like to tell students if you see this hand on the screen 00:52.860 --> 01:01.190 moving around you think about this hand as being a pencil that did like the tip of a pencil and you 01:01.190 --> 01:05.390 want to take it and you move it with the conversation. 01:05.540 --> 01:12.050 OK they're going to say general facts then they're going to go through these four things giving answers 01:13.670 --> 01:18.470 then they're going to say habitat and then they're going to go through these for these four questions 01:18.490 --> 01:25.190 or four sentences and then it goes say threats are there we'll go directly straight through it step 01:25.250 --> 01:26.750 by step by step. 01:28.160 --> 01:33.320 Now like I keep telling you over and over again pay attention to the language within this field the 01:33.320 --> 01:34.090 blank. 01:34.130 --> 01:39.590 Pay attention to the language before or after the blank line clock for number thirty one it will connect 01:39.590 --> 01:46.220 to the words uncommon is color comes from an uncommon whatever this answer is it connects to a synonym 01:46.220 --> 01:47.750 of the word uncommon. 01:47.810 --> 01:53.180 If you could recognize a synonym then you will know that they then you'll know the answer is coming 01:53.600 --> 01:57.060 or the answer was just say it right before the word uncommon. 01:57.140 --> 01:57.560 OK. 01:57.890 --> 01:59.620 But they're going to use a synonym. 01:59.710 --> 02:01.710 Thirty two unusual. 02:01.700 --> 02:02.540 Thirty three. 02:02.540 --> 02:08.440 They protect the bear from protect bear from right. 02:08.440 --> 02:09.680 Thirty four routes. 02:09.710 --> 02:10.240 Stop. 02:10.250 --> 02:12.050 What do the routes stop. 02:12.050 --> 02:12.920 Thirty five. 02:12.920 --> 02:15.700 Small number of OK. 02:15.740 --> 02:18.380 You get it. 02:18.380 --> 02:25.400 And then as we move down we have thirty six says Habitat is being lost due to deforestation and construction 02:25.400 --> 02:29.550 of blank by logging companies construction of. 02:29.560 --> 02:33.490 So whatever this answer is it will connect to the word construction would you. 02:33.530 --> 02:39.190 Which is what you would you should circle and it will connect to logging companies right. 02:39.200 --> 02:40.610 So whatever this answer is. 02:40.610 --> 02:47.940 Thirty seven is connected to the word on want unrestricted remember they're going to use synonym language. 02:48.360 --> 02:48.770 Right. 02:48.980 --> 02:54.730 Unrestricted no restriction affecting the salmon supply unrestricted. 02:55.130 --> 02:59.210 The bear's existence is also threatened by either low rate of 38. 02:59.390 --> 03:02.810 Connected to the words low rate of right. 03:02.960 --> 03:06.170 They're going to use synonyms they might use reduced. 03:06.390 --> 03:06.960 OK. 03:07.100 --> 03:13.790 So remember when you're listening you have to hear the synonym relationship to synonym connection between 03:14.810 --> 03:18.790 between the language before the blank line or sometimes after the blank line. 03:19.010 --> 03:26.300 And the answer choice thirty nine is connected to must improve their blink of logging must improve whatever 03:26.300 --> 03:31.280 thirty nine is it's gonna it's gonna be connected to must improve. 03:31.280 --> 03:31.520 Right. 03:31.520 --> 03:32.120 They're going to say. 03:32.120 --> 03:33.190 Going forward. 03:33.320 --> 03:40.160 Then they're gonna go through these 40 is straightforward maintenance and Blank of the spirit of the 03:40.160 --> 03:41.770 Spirit bears territory. 03:41.870 --> 03:44.930 So maintenance and something else. 03:44.930 --> 03:45.600 All right. 03:45.710 --> 03:48.410 So let's go ahead and play this. 03:48.470 --> 03:53.720 Let's play the tape now and I want you to try to answer and do the best you can. 03:53.840 --> 03:58.980 And then I'm going to go over the answers with you and point out the Sydenham language that you should 03:58.980 --> 04:02.990 have picked up on so that you can know when the answer is being said. 04:02.990 --> 04:03.380 All right. 04:03.380 --> 04:42.070 Here we go. 04:42.200 --> 04:42.750 OK. 04:42.760 --> 04:46.520 Here it comes everybody get ready. 04:46.900 --> 04:53.270 Also if you're not sure how word to spell spelled dispel it the best you can right away. 04:53.290 --> 04:54.160 OK. 04:54.250 --> 04:59.590 Because remember after the test is over you have 10 minutes to transfer your answers and then you can 04:59.590 --> 05:01.480 try to figure out the spelling. 05:01.480 --> 05:01.780 All right. 05:01.780 --> 05:06.580 But don't leave any answers blank if you think something's the answer. 05:06.580 --> 05:10.690 Write it down and then if you later discover the answer is something else. 05:10.690 --> 05:17.520 Write that down but get things down on paper don't try to say Oh and they'll try saying Your head was 05:17.520 --> 05:18.330 set to answer. 05:18.330 --> 05:25.420 Did they just say the answer was that the answer because so many times I have I have classes with students 05:26.380 --> 05:31.310 and they'll tell me I heard him say that and then I'll say well why didn't you write it down. 05:31.330 --> 05:32.790 I don't know. 05:33.230 --> 05:33.760 Right. 05:33.850 --> 05:35.350 Write things down. 05:35.500 --> 05:36.830 Put things down. 05:37.090 --> 05:43.480 If you think it's up if you think that's a possibility put it down on paper OK put it down on paper 05:43.540 --> 05:48.160 then maybe a few seconds later you'll hear the correct answer or you'll figure out that is the correct 05:48.160 --> 05:48.810 answer. 05:48.940 --> 05:54.840 But get things down on paper. 05:55.040 --> 06:03.170 Now listen carefully and answer questions 31 to 40. 06:03.230 --> 06:11.420 Today we continue our series on ecology and conservation with a look at a particularly endangered member 06:11.720 --> 06:13.930 of the black bear family. 06:14.120 --> 06:22.040 One in 10 black bears is actually born with a white coat which is the result of a special gene that 06:22.040 --> 06:28.030 surfaces in a few local people have named it the spirit bear. 06:28.160 --> 06:36.560 And according to the legends of these communities it's snowy fur brings with it a special power because 06:36.560 --> 06:37.430 of this. 06:37.430 --> 06:46.020 It has always been highly regarded by them so much that they do not speak of seeing it to anyone else. 06:46.130 --> 06:54.930 It is their way of protecting it when strangers visit the area the white bears habitat is quite interesting. 06:54.930 --> 07:01.500 The Bears strong relationship with the old growth rainforest is a complex one. 07:01.590 --> 07:06.960 The White Bear relies on the huge centuries old trees in the forest. 07:06.960 --> 07:15.540 In many ways for example the old growth trees have extremely long roots that help prevent erosion of 07:15.540 --> 07:19.540 the soil along the banks of the many fish streams. 07:19.650 --> 07:26.340 Keeping these banks intact is important because these streams are home to salmon which are the bear's 07:26.340 --> 07:29.060 main food source. 07:29.080 --> 07:37.690 In return the Bears feeding habits nurture the forest as the bears eat the salmon they discard the skin 07:37.720 --> 07:44.090 and bones in great amounts on the forest floor which provide vital nutrients. 07:44.230 --> 07:53.140 These produce lush vegetation that sustains thousands of other types of life forms from birds to insects 07:53.350 --> 08:00.800 and more today the spirit bear lives off the coast of the province of British Columbia. 08:00.960 --> 08:09.390 On a few islands there is great concern for their survival since it is estimated that less than 200 08:09.450 --> 08:17.220 of these white bears remain the best way to protect them is to make every effort to preserve the delicate 08:17.220 --> 08:20.280 balance of their forest environment. 08:20.280 --> 08:23.040 In other words their ecosystem 08:28.230 --> 08:31.290 the greatest threat to the Bears existence. 08:31.350 --> 08:32.940 Let me say some things here. 08:32.940 --> 08:38.330 You'll notice that after they did number 35 they had a small the you're a small pause. 08:38.460 --> 08:41.220 It was like a two or three second pause. 08:41.220 --> 08:42.060 OK. 08:42.150 --> 08:44.660 That's something they do in Section 4. 08:44.760 --> 08:44.940 Right. 08:44.940 --> 08:45.730 They don't they don't. 08:45.740 --> 08:52.580 They go through it from set from question 31 to 40 but they are a very often there all the time. 08:52.590 --> 08:58.770 Very often you'll hear they'll do like the first five questions or four questions or sequestered six 08:58.770 --> 08:59.880 questions. 08:59.880 --> 09:02.390 Then you'll hear a small little pause. 09:02.780 --> 09:07.740 And when they're making that small little pause what they're doing there is there there there there. 09:07.740 --> 09:12.940 That's how that's like a little clue that they're switching from one section to the next section. 09:13.260 --> 09:14.490 And they really do that a lot. 09:14.520 --> 09:19.620 If they have different types of questions like if they have some multiple choice questions and some 09:19.620 --> 09:25.680 feel troubling questions when they do that they always have that kind of three or four second pause 09:26.070 --> 09:30.150 and that's how you can tell that they're switching from the field of blank questions to the multiple 09:30.150 --> 09:31.580 choice questions. 09:31.730 --> 09:32.010 Jim 09:37.210 --> 09:45.460 the greatest threat to the bear's existence is the loss of its habitat over many years logging companies 09:45.520 --> 09:50.270 have stripped the land by cutting down a large number of trees. 09:50.350 --> 09:57.880 In addition they have built roads which have fractured the areas where the bear usually feeds and many 09:57.880 --> 10:01.200 hibernation sites have also been lost. 10:02.070 --> 10:08.310 The logging of the trees along the streams has damaged the places where the bears fish. 10:08.310 --> 10:16.350 To make matters worse the number of salmon in those streams is declining because there is no legal limit 10:16.620 --> 10:25.190 on fishing at the moment all these influences have a negative impact on the spirit bear's very existence 10:25.700 --> 10:34.310 which is made all the more fragile by the fact that reproduction among these bears has always been disappointingly 10:34.310 --> 10:40.090 low and so what's the situation going forward. 10:40.110 --> 10:47.370 Community organizations environmental groups and the British Columbia government are now working together 10:47.370 --> 10:48.750 on the problem. 10:48.780 --> 10:56.400 The government is now requiring logging companies to adopt a better logging method which is a positive 10:56.400 --> 10:57.630 step. 10:57.690 --> 11:05.700 However these measures alone may not be sufficient to ensure a healthy population of the spirit bear 11:05.910 --> 11:07.470 in the future. 11:07.470 --> 11:09.900 Other steps also need to be taken. 11:10.500 --> 11:18.060 While it is important to maintain the spirit bears habitat there also needs to be more emphasis on its 11:18.060 --> 11:19.850 expansion. 11:19.860 --> 11:27.410 The move is justified as it will also create space for other bears that they're losing their homes to 11:31.210 --> 11:33.190 that is the end of section for 11:36.540 --> 11:36.910 OK. 11:37.010 --> 11:40.580 So is back it up and let's go through the answer choices 11:43.270 --> 11:43.730 all right. 11:43.760 --> 11:50.660 And as we're going through it I'll point out for you I'll point out for you some of the Senate language 11:51.020 --> 11:57.350 that they were using so you can see how important how important it is for you to be able to recognize 11:57.500 --> 12:02.670 and understand synonym language. 12:02.740 --> 12:10.930 Today we continue our series on ecology and conservation with a look at a particularly endangered member 12:11.230 --> 12:13.460 of the black bear family. 12:13.630 --> 12:21.520 One in 10 black bears is actually born with a white coat which is the result of a special gene that 12:21.520 --> 12:27.540 surfaces in a few local people have named it the spirit bear. 12:27.670 --> 12:35.150 And according to the legends of these old number 31 is gene that comes from a special gene. 12:35.360 --> 12:35.760 Right. 12:35.800 --> 12:42.670 Is white collar as white collar a white coat comes from a special gene the word special is a synonym 12:42.670 --> 12:46.000 for the word uncommon. 12:46.000 --> 12:49.000 Right the word special is synonym for the word uncommon 13:00.880 --> 13:03.870 right Gene. 13:05.160 --> 13:09.200 A sort of special gene. 13:10.290 --> 13:11.850 Right. 13:11.940 --> 13:17.310 It's special is a synonym for uncommon. 13:17.310 --> 13:17.580 Right. 13:17.580 --> 13:20.510 So you have to hear the synonyms you have to hear the synonyms. 13:20.520 --> 13:22.620 You have to hear the synonyms. 13:22.650 --> 13:26.080 Local people have named it the spirit bear. 13:26.250 --> 13:34.650 And according to the legends of these communities it's snowy fur brings with it a special power because 13:34.650 --> 13:35.370 of this. 13:35.520 --> 13:39.280 It has always been highly regarded by them. 13:39.450 --> 13:39.780 Right. 13:39.810 --> 13:54.060 So if they use the word special twice as a synonym right for number 32 32 the answer was power. 13:54.060 --> 13:59.600 They said he had a special power. 13:59.640 --> 14:03.550 All right special synonym for unusual 14:09.000 --> 14:09.240 right. 14:09.240 --> 14:14.900 So if you know that unusual is a synonym for the word special. 14:14.910 --> 14:15.330 All right. 14:15.870 --> 14:20.340 And and special is a synonym for the word uncommon. 14:20.340 --> 14:22.770 Then you'll know that they aren't what they answer connects to. 14:22.770 --> 14:25.100 That's how you can always identify the answer. 14:25.440 --> 14:28.560 A lot of people ask me Well how do I know when they're saying the answer. 14:28.710 --> 14:31.730 You have to recognize that a synonym of language. 14:31.740 --> 14:32.850 You have to. 14:32.990 --> 14:37.360 There is no other secret way of getting around that cause of this. 14:37.380 --> 14:46.050 It has always been highly regarded by them so much that they do not speak of seeing it to anyone else. 14:46.050 --> 14:54.470 It is their way of protecting it when strangers visit the area strangers. 14:54.470 --> 14:54.790 All right. 14:54.890 --> 14:58.560 So this is quite interesting. 14:58.580 --> 15:07.910 So number 33 is strangers stranger was the white bear relies on the huge centuries old trees in the 15:07.910 --> 15:08.640 forest. 15:08.690 --> 15:17.270 In many ways for example the old growth trees have extremely long roots that help prevent erosion of 15:17.270 --> 15:21.170 the soil along the banks of the many fish streams. 15:21.380 --> 15:28.070 Keeping these banks intact is important because these streams are home to salmon which are the bear's 15:28.070 --> 15:31.780 main food source right. 15:31.780 --> 15:33.950 So when we look here right. 15:33.970 --> 15:35.520 We had no thirty. 15:35.570 --> 15:38.590 Thirty three was strangers 15:41.010 --> 15:44.890 thirty four was erosion. 15:45.450 --> 15:45.960 Right. 15:45.960 --> 15:53.720 And it says it helps prevent helps prevent is synonym for stop 15:58.810 --> 15:59.760 in return. 15:59.950 --> 16:08.260 The Bears feeding habits nurture the forest as the bears eat the salmon they discard the skin and bones 16:08.320 --> 16:13.630 in great amounts on the forest floor which provide vital nutrients. 16:13.960 --> 16:22.870 These produce lush vegetation that sustains thousands of other types of life forms from birds to insects 16:23.080 --> 16:25.030 and more. 16:25.200 --> 16:32.870 Today the spirit bear lives off the coast of the province of British Columbia on a few islands. 16:32.910 --> 16:40.410 There is great concern for their survival since it is estimated that less than 200 of these white bears 16:40.500 --> 16:43.470 remain the best way to protect them 16:46.280 --> 16:46.610 right. 16:46.730 --> 16:50.630 So thirty five islands 16:56.380 --> 16:59.370 right there said he lives on a few 17:01.990 --> 17:10.930 view is synonym for you a few is seldom for what a small number right. 17:10.930 --> 17:11.990 So again you're dead. 17:12.010 --> 17:14.140 All they're doing all they're doing. 17:14.140 --> 17:15.970 QUESTION My question my question. 17:15.970 --> 17:22.420 All they're doing is seeing can you understand sending them language because that's what they're connecting 17:22.420 --> 17:23.780 the answer to. 17:23.840 --> 17:29.440 And if you could know if you know that lives on a view is that them for a small number you'll know that 17:29.440 --> 17:30.810 the answer is islands. 17:31.730 --> 17:32.610 OK. 17:32.770 --> 17:33.090 All right. 17:33.210 --> 17:37.930 So let's stop right here and then we're going to go into another lecture and continue with questions 17:37.960 --> 17:39.080 would not work with questions. 17:39.190 --> 17:40.720 36 to 40.
