OK let's go ahead and get started.
We're looking at another section for as we know one section four it goes directly straight through from
check from section on me from question 31 to 40.
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
questions we have to pay attention to the language that comes before or after the blank line because
that's what our keyword will condense were.
That's what our answer choice will connect to.
All right.
They answer choice always connect to that language.
Another thing that you have to do when it comes to Section 4 and also this this is what happens in Section
3.
You have to make sure you follow with the conversation OK.
You can't get lost in the conversation.
So it's really important that you really I like to tell students if you see this hand on the screen
moving around you think about this hand as being a pencil that did like the tip of a pencil and you
want to take it and you move it with the conversation.
OK they're going to say general facts then they're going to go through these four things giving answers
then they're going to say habitat and then they're going to go through these for these four questions
or four sentences and then it goes say threats are there we'll go directly straight through it step
by step by step.
Now like I keep telling you over and over again pay attention to the language within this field the
blank.
Pay attention to the language before or after the blank line clock for number thirty one it will connect
to the words uncommon is color comes from an uncommon whatever this answer is it connects to a synonym
of the word uncommon.
If you could recognize a synonym then you will know that they then you'll know the answer is coming
or the answer was just say it right before the word uncommon.
OK.
But they're going to use a synonym.
Thirty two unusual.
Thirty three.
They protect the bear from protect bear from right.
Thirty four routes.
Stop.
What do the routes stop.
Thirty five.
Small number of OK.
You get it.
And then as we move down we have thirty six says Habitat is being lost due to deforestation and construction
of blank by logging companies construction of.
So whatever this answer is it will connect to the word construction would you.
Which is what you would you should circle and it will connect to logging companies right.
So whatever this answer is.
Thirty seven is connected to the word on want unrestricted remember they're going to use synonym language.
Right.
Unrestricted no restriction affecting the salmon supply unrestricted.
The bear's existence is also threatened by either low rate of 38.
Connected to the words low rate of right.
They're going to use synonyms they might use reduced.
OK.
So remember when you're listening you have to hear the synonym relationship to synonym connection between
between the language before the blank line or sometimes after the blank line.
And the answer choice thirty nine is connected to must improve their blink of logging must improve whatever
thirty nine is it's gonna it's gonna be connected to must improve.
Right.
They're going to say.
Going forward.
Then they're gonna go through these 40 is straightforward maintenance and Blank of the spirit of the
Spirit bears territory.
So maintenance and something else.
All right.
So let's go ahead and play this.
Let's play the tape now and I want you to try to answer and do the best you can.
And then I'm going to go over the answers with you and point out the Sydenham language that you should
have picked up on so that you can know when the answer is being said.
All right.
Here we go.
OK.
Here it comes everybody get ready.
Also if you're not sure how word to spell spelled dispel it the best you can right away.
OK.
Because remember after the test is over you have 10 minutes to transfer your answers and then you can
try to figure out the spelling.
All right.
But don't leave any answers blank if you think something's the answer.
Write it down and then if you later discover the answer is something else.
Write that down but get things down on paper don't try to say Oh and they'll try saying Your head was
set to answer.
Did they just say the answer was that the answer because so many times I have I have classes with students
and they'll tell me I heard him say that and then I'll say well why didn't you write it down.
I don't know.
Right.
Write things down.
Put things down.
If you think it's up if you think that's a possibility put it down on paper OK put it down on paper
then maybe a few seconds later you'll hear the correct answer or you'll figure out that is the correct
answer.
But get things down on paper.
Now listen carefully and answer questions 31 to 40.
Today we continue our series on ecology and conservation with a look at a particularly endangered member
of the black bear family.
One in 10 black bears is actually born with a white coat which is the result of a special gene that
surfaces in a few local people have named it the spirit bear.
And according to the legends of these communities it's snowy fur brings with it a special power because
of this.
It has always been highly regarded by them so much that they do not speak of seeing it to anyone else.
It is their way of protecting it when strangers visit the area the white bears habitat is quite interesting.
The Bears strong relationship with the old growth rainforest is a complex one.
The White Bear relies on the huge centuries old trees in the forest.
In many ways for example the old growth trees have extremely long roots that help prevent erosion of
the soil along the banks of the many fish streams.
Keeping these banks intact is important because these streams are home to salmon which are the bear's
main food source.
In return the Bears feeding habits nurture the forest as the bears eat the salmon they discard the skin
and bones in great amounts on the forest floor which provide vital nutrients.
These produce lush vegetation that sustains thousands of other types of life forms from birds to insects
and more today the spirit bear lives off the coast of the province of British Columbia.
On a few islands there is great concern for their survival since it is estimated that less than 200
of these white bears remain the best way to protect them is to make every effort to preserve the delicate
balance of their forest environment.
In other words their ecosystem
the greatest threat to the Bears existence.
Let me say some things here.
You'll notice that after they did number 35 they had a small the you're a small pause.
It was like a two or three second pause.
OK.
That's something they do in Section 4.
Right.
They don't they don't.
They go through it from set from question 31 to 40 but they are a very often there all the time.
Very often you'll hear they'll do like the first five questions or four questions or sequestered six
questions.
Then you'll hear a small little pause.
And when they're making that small little pause what they're doing there is there there there there.
That's how that's like a little clue that they're switching from one section to the next section.
And they really do that a lot.
If they have different types of questions like if they have some multiple choice questions and some
feel troubling questions when they do that they always have that kind of three or four second pause
and that's how you can tell that they're switching from the field of blank questions to the multiple
choice questions.
Jim
the greatest threat to the bear's existence is the loss of its habitat over many years logging companies
have stripped the land by cutting down a large number of trees.
In addition they have built roads which have fractured the areas where the bear usually feeds and many
hibernation sites have also been lost.
The logging of the trees along the streams has damaged the places where the bears fish.
To make matters worse the number of salmon in those streams is declining because there is no legal limit
on fishing at the moment all these influences have a negative impact on the spirit bear's very existence
which is made all the more fragile by the fact that reproduction among these bears has always been disappointingly
low and so what's the situation going forward.
Community organizations environmental groups and the British Columbia government are now working together
on the problem.
The government is now requiring logging companies to adopt a better logging method which is a positive
step.
However these measures alone may not be sufficient to ensure a healthy population of the spirit bear
in the future.
Other steps also need to be taken.
While it is important to maintain the spirit bears habitat there also needs to be more emphasis on its
expansion.
The move is justified as it will also create space for other bears that they're losing their homes to
that is the end of section for
OK.
So is back it up and let's go through the answer choices
all right.
And as we're going through it I'll point out for you I'll point out for you some of the Senate language
that they were using so you can see how important how important it is for you to be able to recognize
and understand synonym language.
Today we continue our series on ecology and conservation with a look at a particularly endangered member
of the black bear family.
One in 10 black bears is actually born with a white coat which is the result of a special gene that
surfaces in a few local people have named it the spirit bear.
And according to the legends of these old number 31 is gene that comes from a special gene.
Right.
Is white collar as white collar a white coat comes from a special gene the word special is a synonym
for the word uncommon.
Right the word special is synonym for the word uncommon
right Gene.
A sort of special gene.
Right.
It's special is a synonym for uncommon.
Right.
So you have to hear the synonyms you have to hear the synonyms.
You have to hear the synonyms.
Local people have named it the spirit bear.
And according to the legends of these communities it's snowy fur brings with it a special power because
of this.
It has always been highly regarded by them.
Right.
So if they use the word special twice as a synonym right for number 32 32 the answer was power.
They said he had a special power.
All right special synonym for unusual
right.
So if you know that unusual is a synonym for the word special.
All right.
And and special is a synonym for the word uncommon.
Then you'll know that they aren't what they answer connects to.
That's how you can always identify the answer.
A lot of people ask me Well how do I know when they're saying the answer.
You have to recognize that a synonym of language.
You have to.
There is no other secret way of getting around that cause of this.
It has always been highly regarded by them so much that they do not speak of seeing it to anyone else.
It is their way of protecting it when strangers visit the area strangers.
All right.
So this is quite interesting.
So number 33 is strangers stranger was the white bear relies on the huge centuries old trees in the
forest.
In many ways for example the old growth trees have extremely long roots that help prevent erosion of
the soil along the banks of the many fish streams.
Keeping these banks intact is important because these streams are home to salmon which are the bear's
main food source right.
So when we look here right.
We had no thirty.
Thirty three was strangers
thirty four was erosion.
Right.
And it says it helps prevent helps prevent is synonym for stop
in return.
The Bears feeding habits nurture the forest as the bears eat the salmon they discard the skin and bones
in great amounts on the forest floor which provide vital nutrients.
These produce lush vegetation that sustains thousands of other types of life forms from birds to insects
and more.
Today the spirit bear lives off the coast of the province of British Columbia on a few islands.
There is great concern for their survival since it is estimated that less than 200 of these white bears
remain the best way to protect them
right.
So thirty five islands
right there said he lives on a few
view is synonym for you a few is seldom for what a small number right.
So again you're dead.
All they're doing all they're doing.
QUESTION My question my question.
All they're doing is seeing can you understand sending them language because that's what they're connecting
the answer to.
And if you could know if you know that lives on a view is that them for a small number you'll know that
the answer is islands.
OK.
All right.
So let's stop right here and then we're going to go into another lecture and continue with questions
would not work with questions.
36 to 40.
