WEBVTT 00:01.110 --> 00:07.580 OK so let's now look at doing a sexual one to practice and as I've told you when you're doing a section 00:07.570 --> 00:13.880 and Bill one is the easiest section of the four parts you have to do for while listening. 00:14.310 --> 00:21.120 And when you're doing it the way here we have here we have all filled the blank questions. 00:21.150 --> 00:27.430 I mean you can look at it here and see we have numbers 1 through 10 12 which is all fill the blank. 00:27.540 --> 00:32.340 And as I've told you when you're doing listening each section has 10 questions. 00:32.340 --> 00:35.660 And the test gets produced progressively more difficult. 00:35.940 --> 00:41.700 And what they're going to do for sections 1 2 and 3 is like here they're going to say first you have 00:41.700 --> 00:48.330 time to look at questions 1 through 4 1 through 5 1 3 6 whatever they say and you're going to have those 00:48.330 --> 00:54.870 20 seconds 25 30 seconds to be able to look at the questions when you look at exam we're looking at 00:54.870 --> 00:55.520 the questions. 00:55.520 --> 00:58.110 There are two things you should be trying to do. 00:58.110 --> 01:04.920 Number one you should be trying to predict what might the answer be what might what type of answer might 01:04.920 --> 01:06.310 it be. 01:06.430 --> 01:07.110 OK. 01:07.170 --> 01:10.540 Because that's going to help you with knowing what to listen for. 01:10.750 --> 01:13.700 It's going to help you with knowing what to listen for. 01:13.710 --> 01:18.180 The second thing is really important is when you're dealing with your field the blank question is to 01:18.180 --> 01:23.160 try to recognize what is the synonym language you have to listen for. 01:23.160 --> 01:26.880 Pay attention to the words that are coming before and after the blank line. 01:27.240 --> 01:32.400 Because when you do that that's going to help you with knowing you know what what what are the what 01:32.400 --> 01:38.160 what was what answers we need to listen for what type of language you need to listen for when I'm going 01:38.160 --> 01:39.660 through it and doing it. 01:39.660 --> 01:39.950 All right. 01:39.960 --> 01:46.200 So let's go through this first one and I want to help you with being able to recognize the tricks when 01:46.200 --> 01:52.680 they say them the traps when they say them and to be able to know how to avoid those things so that 01:52.680 --> 01:56.810 you can be able to recognize when the correct answer is being it. 01:57.260 --> 01:58.450 All right. 01:58.650 --> 02:01.320 Now this is from Kyle's book number nine. 02:01.320 --> 02:04.770 This is test number one section 1. 02:04.950 --> 02:10.110 As I've told you before and all of our teaching I think that the Cambridge isles books are the best 02:10.110 --> 02:12.350 books for you to get. 02:12.420 --> 02:20.100 I think that you should use those books because they give you the best practice the most authentic practice 02:20.100 --> 02:21.270 to the test. 02:21.330 --> 02:28.380 So if you have taken my recommendation and you have gotten the isles books numbers you know seven eight 02:28.380 --> 02:33.220 nine 10 and also the the the the eight practice tests book. 02:33.660 --> 02:41.310 Have you gotten those practice test then you can actually work along with us in terms of doing it. 02:41.780 --> 02:42.750 OK. 02:42.880 --> 02:48.120 You need to you can always pause the tape and then tried to do this section yourself and then listen 02:48.120 --> 02:50.540 to our explanation of it if you want to. 02:50.570 --> 02:51.550 But that's all you can do. 02:51.550 --> 02:59.730 You should be doing that because you know you want to treat this like this is your class right. 02:59.730 --> 03:05.130 This is your class and for a class you need books so you can go to your local. 03:05.130 --> 03:10.260 You can go to maybe a bookstore depending on where you live and find a book to buy or you can buy them. 03:10.290 --> 03:14.200 You can get the book you know from from online and so. 03:14.220 --> 03:22.380 OK let's go ahead and go through this and then we will analyze it together. 03:22.590 --> 03:33.490 OK Cambridge I else nine by University of Cambridge ESOL examinations published by Cambridge University 03:33.490 --> 03:40.580 Press this recording is Copyright c d 1 03:43.930 --> 03:52.070 test 1 you will hear a number of different recordings and you will have to answer questions on what 03:52.070 --> 03:59.170 you hear there will be time for you to read the instructions and questions and you will have a chance 03:59.170 --> 04:00.610 to check your work. 04:01.890 --> 04:11.650 All the recordings will be paid once only the test is in four sections at the end of the test. 04:11.750 --> 04:20.310 You will be given ten minutes to transfer your answers to an answer sheet now turned to Section 1 04:23.720 --> 04:34.370 Section 1 you will hear a man phoning to inquire about a job vacancy first you have some time to look 04:34.370 --> 04:36.440 at questions 1 to 4 04:39.910 --> 04:40.460 OK. 04:40.490 --> 04:41.450 So there you have it. 04:41.480 --> 04:46.320 You see they've told us that we have time to look at questions 1 to 4 right. 04:46.340 --> 04:48.800 We have time to look at questions 1 through 4. 04:48.800 --> 04:55.400 So while we look at number one right you have to look and say OK well we know no one's going to be a 04:55.400 --> 05:02.240 type of job type of work because this type of work accountant dentist lawyer kind of know what what 05:02.240 --> 05:05.490 kind of answer him by listening for. 05:05.570 --> 05:10.430 Next you want to look at a question of a and think about synonyms like when they're speaking they may 05:10.430 --> 05:12.290 not say the word work. 05:12.290 --> 05:14.210 They may not say the word type. 05:14.300 --> 05:17.410 What are other kinds of words they might say you have to listen for that. 05:17.510 --> 05:23.960 Because if you hear the synonyms then you know that's when the answer is being said the answer would 05:23.960 --> 05:27.200 have been said right before the synonym language. 05:27.230 --> 05:34.160 Right after the set of language like they might say a lawyer is the kind of job that I like to do. 05:34.160 --> 05:39.270 Right there we have there we had the word lawyer before the word kind. 05:39.290 --> 05:47.960 What kind of job or they could say the kind of job that I would like to do is as as a lawyer right. 05:47.960 --> 05:52.050 So it's possible for the answer to come before that before. 05:52.220 --> 05:56.790 The key word language or for the answer to come after the key word language. 05:56.870 --> 06:00.800 So that's really important to understand in terms of answer choices. 06:00.800 --> 06:04.760 It doesn't have to come in the exact same order that you see it on the page. 06:04.790 --> 06:05.140 All right. 06:05.600 --> 06:11.480 So you have to listen for the possible reordering of the language of the question and also listen out 06:11.480 --> 06:17.660 for Senate Senate language so that you're able to tail and know when the answer is being said when are 06:17.660 --> 06:20.810 they telling me the answer and what are they saying the answer to me. 06:20.870 --> 06:21.230 OK. 06:21.260 --> 06:27.800 So that's that's really important that you you recognize that then they're going to say it's going to 06:27.800 --> 06:28.540 go in order. 06:28.550 --> 06:29.210 Right. 06:29.240 --> 06:32.250 When you're doing aisles listening they go right in order. 06:32.330 --> 06:36.060 So then they're not going to jump from number one and jump down to number two. 06:36.200 --> 06:40.850 They're going to give you number one then they're going to talk about the number of hours per week 12 06:41.000 --> 06:45.710 they're going to say twelve hours then they're going to say you would need a work permit. 06:45.710 --> 06:47.540 Then they're going to go to number two. 06:48.620 --> 06:50.490 And with this there's a work in. 06:50.690 --> 06:56.510 So we're talking about a location right because says work in this what I mean by prediction you when 06:56.510 --> 07:00.310 when when you have your time you should be going through. 07:00.620 --> 07:06.110 Predicting predicting predicting and knowing what your answer is going to connect you. 07:06.200 --> 07:10.670 We know they're going to give us a type of branch a type of branch. 07:10.690 --> 07:16.610 So we know number two has to be a name and we know with names that they're going to most most of the 07:16.610 --> 07:23.750 time 90 percent of the time they're going to spell the name unless it's some really easy simple name. 07:23.810 --> 07:29.840 Number three is connected to next to is his nearest bus stop is next to. 07:30.020 --> 07:30.710 Right. 07:30.710 --> 07:35.390 So we know our answer is going to connect to the lane which next to they most likely are not going to 07:35.390 --> 07:38.700 sit next to they're going to use synonym language properly. 07:38.720 --> 07:45.320 Number four is going to be a number because it says an hour and we have the pound sign there the British 07:45.320 --> 07:47.740 pound sign you know the United States we use a dollar sign. 07:47.750 --> 07:53.300 This is their version of it and we know this is going to be a number. 07:53.300 --> 08:01.140 As I've told you in regards to traps that with with numbers they're going to see more than one number. 08:01.160 --> 08:01.930 OK. 08:02.000 --> 08:05.020 Give us a more than one number they love to use here. 08:05.090 --> 08:12.190 Here's where they love to use the used to trap like it used to be ten dollars but now is twelve dollars. 08:12.190 --> 08:12.430 Right. 08:12.440 --> 08:14.090 So the answer will be twelve. 08:14.090 --> 08:22.820 So yes it's important that you're able to recognize when these traps are being used on you so that you 08:22.820 --> 08:25.340 can avoid them and be able to go through it. 08:25.460 --> 08:25.740 OK. 08:25.750 --> 08:27.440 So I'm gonna now. 08:27.740 --> 08:34.730 Keep playing the tape and you should listen carefully and you can try to answer along with me and then 08:34.730 --> 08:40.550 I'll go through it with you. 08:40.620 --> 08:41.010 All right. 08:41.010 --> 08:49.610 So they're giving you this time to look at the answers if you're working along with us. 08:49.670 --> 08:55.140 You might want to have your paper mach numbers one through 10 if you have the book. 08:55.140 --> 09:01.830 You could just mark they actually steal you will see that there is an example that has been done for 09:01.830 --> 09:03.990 you on this occasion. 09:03.990 --> 09:13.510 Emily The conversation relating to this will be played fast. 09:13.790 --> 09:15.800 Good evening Kings restaurant. 09:15.800 --> 09:16.850 Good evening. 09:16.850 --> 09:18.560 I'm ringing about the job. 09:18.680 --> 09:20.990 I understand you have vacant yes

10:14.400 --> 10:16.770 to come for an interview. 10:16.770 --> 10:17.100 Great. 10:17.100 --> 10:17.730 Thanks. 10:18.480 --> 10:22.730 I'm afraid I missed the advert for the job but heard about it from a friend. 10:22.740 --> 10:24.110 That's no problem at all. 10:24.120 --> 10:25.200 What would you like to know. 10:25.560 --> 10:30.170 Well what sort of work is it washing up. 10:30.270 --> 10:31.980 It's answering the phone. 10:31.980 --> 10:37.020 All right fine and not waiting at table. 10:37.270 --> 10:38.820 That'd be good. 10:38.820 --> 10:40.890 And how many nights a week would it be. 10:41.460 --> 10:45.890 Well we're really only busy at the weekend so two nights. 10:45.900 --> 10:46.790 Sorry actually. 10:46.800 --> 10:49.860 So it would work out at twelve hours a week. 10:49.920 --> 10:53.130 That'd be fine it wouldn't interfere with my studies. 10:53.250 --> 10:54.390 Are you at the University. 10:54.390 --> 10:55.180 Yes. 10:55.200 --> 10:56.690 First your physics student. 10:56.700 --> 10:58.360 Oh right. 10:58.890 --> 11:02.940 And because I'm not an EU national would I need a work permit. 11:03.150 --> 11:06.430 Yes you would just get your tutor to sign it. 11:06.430 --> 11:10.350 That wouldn't be a problem if I were to get the job. 11:10.470 --> 11:12.600 Where exactly is the restaurant. 11:13.020 --> 11:14.840 Well we have two branches. 11:14.970 --> 11:19.380 The one we're recruiting for IS in hills Dunn road. 11:19.380 --> 11:21.090 I don't know that. 11:21.150 --> 11:22.940 How do you spell it please. 11:22.950 --> 11:30.150 It's h i double L S D you double N E road. 11:30.290 --> 11:31.310 Got that. 11:31.340 --> 11:32.420 Thanks. 11:32.420 --> 11:33.740 Is it near a bus stop. 11:34.190 --> 11:34.730 Yes. 11:34.820 --> 11:37.550 The nearest one would probably be just beside the library. 11:38.180 --> 11:39.860 Oh yes I know it. 11:39.860 --> 11:41.600 That'd be fine for me. 11:41.600 --> 11:44.020 And could I ask about the pay. 11:44.150 --> 11:47.090 We're offering full pounds 45 an hour. 11:47.090 --> 11:48.410 That's very good. 11:48.410 --> 11:53.140 My last job was three pounds ninety five an hour OK. 11:53.160 --> 11:54.050 So there we are. 11:54.050 --> 11:55.810 Questions 1 through 4. 11:55.830 --> 12:01.410 All right so now I'm going to go through the answer choices with you and point out for you the tricks 12:01.410 --> 12:07.380 and traps that they try to give you to try to make you think the answer was something else but also 12:07.380 --> 12:12.720 to help you recognize when the right answer is being set and the better you get at recognizing these 12:12.720 --> 12:18.030 things and I'm going over with you the better you're going to do at the overall exam in terms of in 12:18.030 --> 12:22.140 terms of your ability to get that high band score that you want. 12:22.140 --> 12:22.520 OK. 12:22.550 --> 12:26.640 So here are our answer choices. 12:26.640 --> 12:26.970 All right. 12:26.970 --> 12:31.890 So number one correct answer is 12:34.810 --> 12:38.630 right answering the phone right. 12:38.630 --> 12:39.950 Correct answer. 12:39.950 --> 12:45.080 Look at our directions it says no more than three words in terms of our directions the more than three 12:45.080 --> 12:46.370 words and or a number. 12:46.370 --> 12:54.950 So if I'm writing answering the phone that's OK I could do that right now in terms of number 1 the way 12:54.950 --> 13:03.300 they tried to trick you was you know the first thing that they did was they use Sydenham language right 13:03.320 --> 13:09.490 the man said what sort of work right. 13:09.500 --> 13:11.180 What sort of work. 13:11.180 --> 13:14.480 So here we had an example of using synonym language. 13:14.480 --> 13:14.740 Right. 13:14.740 --> 13:18.780 The word sort is a synonym for the word type. 13:19.610 --> 13:24.710 OK so if you know that the word sort is a synonym for the word type what do you say. 13:24.710 --> 13:26.390 What sort of work. 13:26.390 --> 13:32.320 You know they're about you you're about to be able to listen for the answer but right after this where 13:32.360 --> 13:40.070 after they use synonym language then they try to trick you by giving more than by giving more than one 13:40.730 --> 13:44.090 more than one possible answer choice. 13:44.090 --> 13:52.320 So after the man said what sort of work the next day was said was he merely said you know is it. 13:52.580 --> 13:55.580 Is it washing up. 13:55.580 --> 13:55.910 Right. 13:55.970 --> 14:03.560 So a lot of times what they'll do is somebody who ask a question will then try to give you a possible 14:03.590 --> 14:08.620 answer and a woman said no it's not right. 14:08.690 --> 14:09.470 She said no. 14:09.470 --> 14:10.790 So you have to listen now for that. 14:10.800 --> 14:14.470 A lot of times you'll hear something that might be a possible answer. 14:14.480 --> 14:18.330 And some I will say no it's not right. 14:18.350 --> 14:20.070 Then they gave the answer. 14:20.150 --> 14:22.200 She said it's answering the phone. 14:22.340 --> 14:28.790 And then after she said it gave the answer she threw out something else to try to trick you she said 14:29.330 --> 14:30.260 it's not 14:33.210 --> 14:39.330 it's not waiting tables or it's not waiting tables. 14:39.380 --> 14:43.930 So they tried to trick you by throwing out is wash the washing up as a job. 14:43.970 --> 14:46.970 She said No it's not this is not waiting tables. 14:46.970 --> 14:49.340 She said he is answering the phone. 14:49.340 --> 14:51.400 So all of this is going well. 14:51.450 --> 14:55.070 People do understand all these kind of tricks and traps. 14:55.070 --> 14:57.340 This is what's going on in Section 1. 14:57.410 --> 14:59.060 This is what they're trying to do to you. 14:59.120 --> 15:00.490 They're trying to trick you. 15:00.530 --> 15:02.420 They're trying to trap you. 15:02.660 --> 15:02.990 All right. 15:02.990 --> 15:04.550 In the end when number two 15:07.190 --> 15:11.220 this was the one where they have a spelling Well we knew they were going to give us a name because they 15:11.230 --> 15:17.540 ain't working in it this could be a name or a place working in Virginia working in a search. 15:17.540 --> 15:24.020 Here we have we have working in a branch right now with with with when it comes to spelling of where 15:24.020 --> 15:25.670 this is the British test. 15:25.670 --> 15:27.950 So they love to use double this double that. 15:28.010 --> 15:33.340 So like you know double five double six double N double L.. 15:33.440 --> 15:35.100 But here they spelled it for us. 15:35.150 --> 15:39.950 Hill's done row right. 15:39.950 --> 15:42.840 That was our answer choice for number two. 15:42.890 --> 15:43.680 He's done row. 15:43.700 --> 15:47.810 But if you were in when you were listening they gave you no one answering the phone. 15:47.870 --> 15:52.770 Then they said information for a twelve hours that they sang about needing a work permit. 15:52.820 --> 15:54.920 Then they got to number two. 15:54.920 --> 16:01.310 So number three were listening for an answer connected to language that means the same as next to remember 16:01.310 --> 16:06.010 your answers are going to connect to synonym language. 16:06.180 --> 16:06.610 All right. 16:06.620 --> 16:14.990 So for number three our correct answer was library. 16:14.990 --> 16:23.410 Keep in mind and remember if you don't if you spell the answer wrong it is wrong if one letter is wrong 16:23.420 --> 16:28.270 the answer is wrong your answer choices must be perfect. 16:28.370 --> 16:28.650 OK. 16:28.670 --> 16:33.710 Your answer choices must be perfect when you're doing them must be must be perfect. 16:34.430 --> 16:35.280 OK. 16:35.300 --> 16:41.320 And now with with library what they tried to do was they tried to trick us by say they use sensitive 16:41.330 --> 16:42.090 language. 16:42.260 --> 16:49.680 They say it beside the right which is synonym for next to right. 16:49.730 --> 16:55.750 So what you heard beside the that's the same as saying next to beside the library next to the library. 16:55.790 --> 16:56.060 Right. 16:56.060 --> 17:02.030 So again connecting an answer to the Senate of language for what comes right before the blank line and 17:02.030 --> 17:07.890 therefore no for a correct answer was four forty five OK. 17:07.940 --> 17:11.790 And again they tried to trick us by throwing got an extra number. 17:11.870 --> 17:17.330 The man said his last job was three ninety five. 17:17.450 --> 17:17.690 Right. 17:17.690 --> 17:22.120 So again they like to use last used two to throw out another number. 17:22.250 --> 17:23.690 But that's not correct. 17:23.690 --> 17:26.510 That can't be the possible answer choice. 17:26.510 --> 17:26.990 All right. 17:27.260 --> 17:31.640 So we're going to stop our tape right here and then we're going to the next lecture we're going to go 17:31.640 --> 17:33.640 over the next set of questions. 17:33.740 --> 17:39.920 Numbers six through 10 so you can really get an idea for how these traps and tricks work even in section 17:39.920 --> 17:40.490 number one. 17:40.700 --> 17:41.310 OK. 17:41.450 --> 17:42.250 I'll talk to you soon.
