WEBVTT 00:03.300 --> 00:03.790 OK. 00:03.840 --> 00:06.060 So we're going to get started now. 00:06.090 --> 00:15.540 This is a live class and we're going to be working on the listening section of the aisles exam as you 00:15.630 --> 00:19.410 know the listening section is the same for the general and the academic. 00:19.410 --> 00:23.100 There is no difference is the exact same listening section. 00:23.520 --> 00:28.220 So there are some people here that are for the general Xandra some people here for the academic exam. 00:28.230 --> 00:29.740 It does not matter. 00:29.820 --> 00:36.080 Guys what we're going to be doing today is we're going be working on the application of strategy. 00:36.090 --> 00:39.090 I'm not going to be teaching strategy. 00:39.090 --> 00:43.260 I'm not teaching you what what are the strategy and what are the tactics. 00:43.260 --> 00:43.830 Why. 00:43.830 --> 00:47.400 Because there are already lectures in the course that tell you what are the strategies and what are 00:47.400 --> 00:48.680 the tactics. 00:48.690 --> 00:54.870 So hopefully if you are doing this class you have already watched those lectures. 00:54.870 --> 01:02.390 If not you're going to have to go back and watch those lectures on the strategies and tactics. 01:02.490 --> 01:04.300 OK. 01:04.950 --> 01:10.500 Because the most important thing actually is application of strategy. 01:10.510 --> 01:11.380 All right. 01:11.460 --> 01:16.110 That is the application of strategy and that's sometimes the most difficult thing for some students 01:16.110 --> 01:24.120 to do because they can understand they can understand you know what the strategy says on paper or what 01:24.120 --> 01:26.140 it says in a lecture but they have trouble applying it. 01:26.130 --> 01:28.850 So that's going to be the goal today. 01:29.280 --> 01:37.100 So if you're just joining as I said earlier in a little while we're going to start the listening tests 01:37.290 --> 01:43.500 and I'm working from Book Number 12 and this is testified in Book Number 12. 01:44.010 --> 01:50.220 And you will see if you don't have book number 12 is no problem you're going to see the questions come 01:50.220 --> 01:51.490 up on the screen. 01:51.870 --> 01:55.830 All right when the questions come up on the screen I'm going to be explaining some things in terms of 01:55.830 --> 01:59.650 strategy and things that you should be looking out for. 01:59.880 --> 02:07.620 Then I'm going to start the audio and you should write down what your answers are and then I'm going 02:07.620 --> 02:13.620 to go over a breakdown of what the answers are and why those are the answers. 02:13.650 --> 02:20.450 And also explain to you what they tried to do to trick you or fool you into choosing a different answer. 02:20.880 --> 02:21.680 OK. 02:22.530 --> 02:24.260 All right. 02:24.540 --> 02:28.040 So let's get started. 02:39.720 --> 02:40.260 Yes. 02:40.540 --> 02:52.230 Yes reduce this. 02:52.920 --> 02:57.930 Whoever whoever has their microphone on turn it off now please. 03:03.080 --> 03:03.960 Sit on. 03:03.990 --> 03:04.500 You don't. 03:04.500 --> 03:09.300 I don't think you need to leave there you might hear you might hear some. 03:09.310 --> 03:14.730 Or you might hear some of those strategies and I am going to talk about it a little bit. 03:15.460 --> 03:15.760 Right. 03:15.760 --> 03:18.130 So I don't think you should leave. 03:18.130 --> 03:19.750 All right. 03:28.070 --> 03:31.160 Whoever has their microphone on please turn it off. 03:31.160 --> 03:33.990 This is like the tenth time. 03:34.060 --> 03:35.030 I can't. 03:35.260 --> 03:38.070 I don't know why I have to repeat myself. 03:38.290 --> 03:38.950 OK. 03:39.170 --> 03:41.710 I can everybody see my screen please. 03:46.120 --> 03:47.320 OK good. 03:47.320 --> 03:51.800 If you're looking at it you should be able to see questions 1 through 7 on the screen right now 03:54.550 --> 03:55.330 right now 03:59.080 --> 04:02.430 I went to a full screen can you see the full screen 04:26.870 --> 04:27.570 with health. 04:27.650 --> 04:29.680 And yeah I know I'm just I just wanted to see 04:50.380 --> 04:52.300 OK. 04:52.400 --> 04:52.680 All right. 04:52.680 --> 05:00.010 So as you know for the exam there are four sections to the exam for the listening section there are 05:00.010 --> 05:08.530 four sections and you basically have different variations of two types of questions you have different 05:08.530 --> 05:16.720 variations of a feel the blank question and you have different variations of a multiple choice question. 05:17.560 --> 05:22.580 All right so there are two different variations of those questions are really there only are two types. 05:22.580 --> 05:22.870 Right. 05:22.870 --> 05:27.350 They're just there are just three or four different ways as multiple choice questions and there are 05:27.350 --> 05:30.140 a couple of different ways they x fill the blank questions. 05:30.150 --> 05:33.070 But it's all fill the blank and it's all multiple choice. 05:35.010 --> 05:42.720 What helps and doing well on the aisles of listening is you have to be able to understand what they're 05:42.720 --> 05:50.700 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 05:50.700 --> 05:56.990 not is not is not very direct in terms of answering answering these questions. 05:57.000 --> 06:03.570 So in our first section here we have filled the blank questions and one of the things that I recommend 06:03.570 --> 06:12.430 the students do is that you underlie mynahs highlighted Yes the answers do go in order right. 06:12.440 --> 06:16.670 The answers going already you're going to hear the answer for number one then number two the number 06:16.670 --> 06:18.890 three the number four goes in order. 06:18.890 --> 06:19.290 OK. 06:19.300 --> 06:23.200 Always Section 1 all the way to Section 4. 06:23.210 --> 06:29.950 It goes in order in sections 1 2 and 3 in sections 1 2 and 3. 06:29.970 --> 06:36.690 You have the first set of questions like here 1 through 6 or 1 through 7 and then 0 1 through 4 might 06:36.690 --> 06:41.600 be and then they have a small break of about 25 seconds and then they do the next part. 06:42.370 --> 06:46.890 In Section 4 there is no break. 06:46.900 --> 06:51.860 It goes directly from question 31 all the way to question number 40. 06:51.970 --> 06:52.290 All right. 06:52.300 --> 06:57.660 So as I'm going through the different types of questions I will talk about a little bit of strategy 06:57.700 --> 07:01.700 debate but mainly I'll be talking about application of strategy. 07:01.770 --> 07:09.120 So here in this first part you can see what is underlined like a portion of one are and it's important 07:09.120 --> 07:16.280 to fill the blank questions and for you to know what language is the answer going to connect to. 07:16.420 --> 07:17.030 Right. 07:17.110 --> 07:21.610 Because that's that's what you have to do what you have to write down as your answer. 07:21.940 --> 07:29.200 OK so number one whatever that answer is is going to connect to the language photos of the phone number 07:29.200 --> 07:32.440 two is going to connect to the language right on. 07:32.620 --> 07:36.290 So I'm listening for that language right now. 07:37.180 --> 07:44.020 As you know if you watch my lectures you will know you you understand that Dial's exam is all about 07:44.020 --> 07:46.630 synonyms instead of them language. 07:46.780 --> 07:47.160 Right. 07:47.170 --> 07:51.570 If it's on the reading section it's about synonyms understanding synonyms. 07:51.570 --> 07:55.560 If it's on the listening section it's about understanding synonyms. 07:55.630 --> 08:02.920 So it's all about your ability to understand and process and in them language is an English sense. 08:03.160 --> 08:03.490 Right. 08:03.490 --> 08:05.590 So some people say well why did he do that. 08:05.590 --> 08:06.750 It's an English test. 08:06.760 --> 08:11.920 If I need to measure your English skill I'm going to use synonyms as one of the best tests of language. 08:11.920 --> 08:15.310 So it with all these words that are highlighted. 08:15.460 --> 08:19.990 You're going to hear synonyms if you can pick out and recognize the synonyms. 08:19.990 --> 08:24.700 Then you're going to recognize what the answer is because the answer is always connected to the synonym 08:24.700 --> 08:27.030 language. 08:27.400 --> 08:29.980 So number three is connected to farm. 08:30.040 --> 08:37.330 And by the lake four is connected to is available five is connected to is provided six is connected 08:37.330 --> 08:41.770 to have some and seven is connected to hired from. 08:41.860 --> 08:48.370 And then as we go down number eight is connected to can be higher. 08:48.390 --> 08:55.080 And number nine is connected to know an accommodation and number six is named in Mirchi and is connected 08:55.080 --> 09:02.460 to total cost right now for one line member and I know what they're going to give me a number because 09:03.090 --> 09:05.150 it has a dollar sign there. 09:05.250 --> 09:10.620 And whenever you have a question that's going to ask for numbers is they're going to give you multiple 09:10.620 --> 09:15.090 numbers in case they're going to give you multiple numbers to deal with. 09:15.090 --> 09:18.540 All right whoever just came in and turn on their microphone please turn it off. 09:23.050 --> 09:29.100 Yes somebody does ask me a question that they can't hear good because of their network. 09:29.230 --> 09:29.680 Yes. 09:29.680 --> 09:36.670 Later on I am going to upload this to the you Dimi course so if you're having problems with your network 09:37.810 --> 09:41.030 you can watch it later on and work on it later on. 09:41.170 --> 09:42.250 OK. 09:42.880 --> 09:44.210 All right. 09:45.410 --> 09:48.310 So I am just waiting for me to do that. 09:48.340 --> 09:50.840 I know what I'm going to have to do at the terminal. 09:51.010 --> 09:56.950 Where's the microphone or who is that Sai Krishna. 09:56.980 --> 09:57.520 Krishna. 09:57.580 --> 10:06.990 Please turn off here Mike. 10:07.810 --> 10:08.230 OK. 10:08.280 --> 10:09.430 So let's get started. 10:09.450 --> 10:11.420 Here's the first part. 10:12.870 --> 10:13.790 You go up to the top.
