OK.
So we're going to get started now.
This is a live class and we're going to be working on the listening section of the aisles exam as you
know the listening section is the same for the general and the academic.
There is no difference is the exact same listening section.
So there are some people here that are for the general Xandra some people here for the academic exam.
It does not matter.
Guys what we're going to be doing today is we're going be working on the application of strategy.
I'm not going to be teaching strategy.
I'm not teaching you what what are the strategy and what are the tactics.
Why.
Because there are already lectures in the course that tell you what are the strategies and what are
the tactics.
So hopefully if you are doing this class you have already watched those lectures.
If not you're going to have to go back and watch those lectures on the strategies and tactics.
OK.
Because the most important thing actually is application of strategy.
All right.
That is the application of strategy and that's sometimes the most difficult thing for some students
to do because they can understand they can understand you know what the strategy says on paper or what
it says in a lecture but they have trouble applying it.
So that's going to be the goal today.
So if you're just joining as I said earlier in a little while we're going to start the listening tests
and I'm working from Book Number 12 and this is testified in Book Number 12.
And you will see if you don't have book number 12 is no problem you're going to see the questions come
up on the screen.
All right when the questions come up on the screen I'm going to be explaining some things in terms of
strategy and things that you should be looking out for.
Then I'm going to start the audio and you should write down what your answers are and then I'm going
to go over a breakdown of what the answers are and why those are the answers.
And also explain to you what they tried to do to trick you or fool you into choosing a different answer.
OK.
All right.
So let's get started.
Yes.
Yes reduce this.
Whoever whoever has their microphone on turn it off now please.
Sit on.
You don't.
I don't think you need to leave there you might hear you might hear some.
Or you might hear some of those strategies and I am going to talk about it a little bit.
Right.
So I don't think you should leave.
All right.
Whoever has their microphone on please turn it off.
This is like the tenth time.
I can't.
I don't know why I have to repeat myself.
OK.
I can everybody see my screen please.
OK good.
If you're looking at it you should be able to see questions 1 through 7 on the screen right now
right now
I went to a full screen can you see the full screen
with health.
And yeah I know I'm just I just wanted to see
OK.
All right.
So as you know for the exam there are four sections to the exam for the listening section there are
four sections and you basically have different variations of two types of questions you have different
variations of a feel the blank question and you have different variations of a multiple choice question.
All right so there are two different variations of those questions are really there only are two types.
Right.
They're just there are just three or four different ways as multiple choice questions and there are
a couple of different ways they x fill the blank questions.
But it's all fill the blank and it's all multiple choice.
What helps and doing well on the aisles of listening is you have to be able to understand what they're
doing to try to get you to not see the answers or to try to trick you or to try to fool you right is
not is not is not very direct in terms of answering answering these questions.
So in our first section here we have filled the blank questions and one of the things that I recommend
the students do is that you underlie mynahs highlighted Yes the answers do go in order right.
The answers going already you're going to hear the answer for number one then number two the number
three the number four goes in order.
OK.
Always Section 1 all the way to Section 4.
It goes in order in sections 1 2 and 3 in sections 1 2 and 3.
You have the first set of questions like here 1 through 6 or 1 through 7 and then 0 1 through 4 might
be and then they have a small break of about 25 seconds and then they do the next part.
In Section 4 there is no break.
It goes directly from question 31 all the way to question number 40.
All right.
So as I'm going through the different types of questions I will talk about a little bit of strategy
debate but mainly I'll be talking about application of strategy.
So here in this first part you can see what is underlined like a portion of one are and it's important
to fill the blank questions and for you to know what language is the answer going to connect to.
Right.
Because that's that's what you have to do what you have to write down as your answer.
OK so number one whatever that answer is is going to connect to the language photos of the phone number
two is going to connect to the language right on.
So I'm listening for that language right now.
As you know if you watch my lectures you will know you you understand that Dial's exam is all about
synonyms instead of them language.
Right.
If it's on the reading section it's about synonyms understanding synonyms.
If it's on the listening section it's about understanding synonyms.
So it's all about your ability to understand and process and in them language is an English sense.
Right.
So some people say well why did he do that.
It's an English test.
If I need to measure your English skill I'm going to use synonyms as one of the best tests of language.
So it with all these words that are highlighted.
You're going to hear synonyms if you can pick out and recognize the synonyms.
Then you're going to recognize what the answer is because the answer is always connected to the synonym
language.
So number three is connected to farm.
And by the lake four is connected to is available five is connected to is provided six is connected
to have some and seven is connected to hired from.
And then as we go down number eight is connected to can be higher.
And number nine is connected to know an accommodation and number six is named in Mirchi and is connected
to total cost right now for one line member and I know what they're going to give me a number because
it has a dollar sign there.
And whenever you have a question that's going to ask for numbers is they're going to give you multiple
numbers in case they're going to give you multiple numbers to deal with.
All right whoever just came in and turn on their microphone please turn it off.
Yes somebody does ask me a question that they can't hear good because of their network.
Yes.
Later on I am going to upload this to the you Dimi course so if you're having problems with your network
you can watch it later on and work on it later on.
OK.
All right.
So I am just waiting for me to do that.
I know what I'm going to have to do at the terminal.
Where's the microphone or who is that Sai Krishna.
Krishna.
Please turn off here Mike.
OK.
So let's get started.
Here's the first part.
You go up to the top.
