This that can be tricky.
Before we get started everybody I'm going to have to see if I'm if I'm playing the audio
section.
Can you hear that audio.
S. Can you still hear it.
OK good.
All right.
Let's go to
first.
You have some time to question what
you see.
There is an example that has been on occasion only opposition related Swaby played at
one word or a number.
OK.
One word and or a number.
Excursions please show on your screen that takes passengers out several times a day.
This takes place on a steamship steamship has been written in the space we show you should answer the
questions as you listen because you will not hear the recording this time listen carefully to what Tom
KLP like to find out if you have any excursions suitable for families.
Sure.
You have a great starship that takes us out several times a day.
That sounds interesting.
How long is the trip in LA to get to take pictures of the mountains all around you when you're on a
boat.
OK.
I assume there's something on board.
Sure.
Children my daughters and my sons.
Right.
Well there are various things you can do once you've crossed the line to make it happen.
One thing that is very popular is a visit to a country far off the page by the farmer holding hands
with a cat of children.
My son would love really likes her as well.
There's also a 40 minute track on a horse if he wants.
Do you think he has done that before.
Sure.
Again good.
I like this is a way to explore the farm there and they don't have to chase gates and so on.
A very peaceful alongside.
But you also looked at now you can easily spend an hour or two.
OK.
Well that all sounds good.
And we get lunch every day and it's going to get the basic cost you pay when you get
rest.
So that's just five to 9:55.
OK everybody sorry about that I put the answer there for number four so everybody should get number
four correct.
I made a mistake and gave you the answer by mistake.
Now let me I'm going to show you questions.
Eight Nine and Ten because the screen is split.
So after they give the answer for number seven I'm going to jump my screen down and go down for number
eight nine and 10.
OK I'll try to do it as quickly as I can.
OK.
All right.
But take a second and look at questions five six and seven.
All right.
And after five six and seven as I say and I'm going to jump down the screen to eight nine and as quickly
as I can.
Yeah I'm not I'm not.
I know what you're saying.
I can hide the ribbon.
I'm not that computer literate.
To hide the ribbon.
I know what you're asking me to do.
But I don't know how high the ribbon
just clicked the small button below the close but
hold on one second.
Some people are trying to give me some advice.
You should have answered questions one to four on paper Amaury dumb questions one to four above the
document transformation number.
I don't know where in both the document
in re.
This button right here no that's not it.
That's my right hand corner.
All right I see the right hand corner but I don't see anything in Red
says.
No I'm sorry guys I don't subtle you.
You are trying to give me some advice about eliminating the ribbon OK.
Let's continue.
All right.
I'll try to figure that out later on.
OK.
This just five to 10.
So does the right thing to do for you is to go for Amish as a trail a raid.
You could easily spend three or four hours exploring at sceneries how I'll give you the creeps.
Charge what's on trial in terms of difficulty quite challenging places it wouldn't be suitable for your
7 year old.
It means somebody has got a bit more experience.
Cycling.
So why so many of us go.
My son could stay on the farm.
That might work out quite well.
But we don't have bikes here.
Is there somewhere.
We went to a place where it's called Rochester's.
I'll just make a note of that you spell it.
Or a C H S o x x.
Trish.
OK.
All right.
I'm trying to take along with me and it would be best to get a sense that you can tell it from the right
place should it go.
It's a great you to be aware of that because it's very rare that you see any shops around or anywhere
to stay.
So you need to get back in time a lot better.
So what sort of prices are you looking at.
Let's say one adult one child with a case with that one as an adult and a child.
So that's two hundred fourteen dollars altogether.
What did you say telling us.
Two hundred sixty seven dollars has to the adult which is $75 a child which is $22.
Sorry that that's OK.
So
yes.
All right good now.
Now I will try to do one of my computer engineers or software engineers is joining me turn on your microphone
now and tell me what to do.
You all want me to split the ribbon or something like that you all are asking me to do Somalis say go
to view
yeah turn on your mike turn turn your mind give you whatever you ask of me to do.
OK.
Now tell me what to do.
OK.
Sir can you hear me.
I can hear you.
OK.
Just so you can see from below the close button on the right side of the screen.
Yeah there is I see there's there's like a face a face of a little man or below or below that even below
that above the scroll bar above the scroll bar.
Aha.
OK.
Just click on that.
Yes.
It says collapse the ribbon all collapse the ribbon.
Yeah.
Just click that.
Ah ok.
I didn't know if you wanted if you wanted to get it back if you if you wanted to get it back just click
on one of the menu for example home or comments or something.
Wow.
You just helped me out.
I am not.
I'm not computer savvy in that way so I appreciate your help.
You're welcome.
Welcome sir.
All right thanks a lot.
We're going to go with.
OK.
OK think your.
All right.
So
number two.
Number one answer number one is Mountains the synonym language that they say was they say take pictures
of.
Right.
So like I told you they're not going to say photos of the.
They said take pictures of.
That's the synonym language that you should have heard.
The answer is Melton's for number two.
The answer is horse.
The synonym lane which that they that they have there is instead of saying Rhei they said track right
track track on a horse I ride on a horse.
Number three the answer is gardens.
All right.
They say gardens alongside the lake.
Why they didn't say by the way they said alongside So as you can see for each one of these questions
they are using synonyms language right.
To do so to see because basically what they're saying is if your English is good enough to recognize
that in them language you're going to be able to hear what they have what the answer is because the
answers always connected the sentence to the synonym language.
Number four you already know is lunch they say.
Can we get my say yes we can.
Their language is the same as available.
The answer is lunch for number five.
The answer is math.
And instead of saying is provided they say give you cry.
And also they had a word or a switch.
They said they're going to give you a map right.
When in the in the question hearsays a map is provided.
When they were speaking they said they're going to give you a match.
So you see others switch the word order map is provided versus give you a map OK.
So those are the these are the kind of things they are doing in section number one to make it more difficult
to hide or find the answer.
Synonym language synonym language and changes around the word order.
Those types of things.
Number six the answer is experience right.
Instead of saying have some they say it has a bit more has a bit more is a synonym for have some sort
of you.
You're listening for synonyms synonym language you have to listen for synonym language.
Number seven is Ratchet's son.
R A T C H E S O N S right.
You have to be good at spelling not really spelling but being good at what they're testing what they're
testing here.
You can understand his English tests.
They're testing your recognition of English consonants involves.
Right that's why they had Swails something.
They're testing a recognition of that because you know so that that's why they do that in case you wanted
to know.
Number 8 The answer is helmet and they say it rant instead of saying hired.
Number nine is shops.
They didn't say no.
They said we'll not see any.
That means the same as No.
There are no will not see in the shops is the answer.
And number 10 is to 67.
As I told you with number 18 they were going to play around with the numbers right there and play around
with the numbers for Number 10.
They said one hundred seventeen they said the number 214.
Then they said the magic words all together right all together.
And so when they said all together they let you know now they're going to talk about the total OK.
So this is how you really are.
A lot of times students asked me like well how do i ran out of stuff to practice with.
And I have more stuff to practice any more.
A lot of you guys are not practicing the right kind of way.
What I mean by that is most most students when they're practicing they're listening they do a practice
test.
They see I mean they are right or wrong and they move on to the next practice test.
Right.
They move onto the next practice test.
And what you really should be doing is breaking down a listening section the way I just broke it down
in terms of trying to recognize.
Well let me go back and listen to it again and let me listen for what's the synonym language they used.
Let me write that down.
Let me listen for you if they did a word or a switch here.
How did they try to trick me.
Because you need to improve your skills in that way.
OK.
You can.
Sometimes it's not about just taking one test taking another test taking another test.
You're not going.
You're not necessarily going to improve that way.
But if you go through trying to break down an exam like I just broke it down for you with this section
number one that's how you you know can be able to use a listening passage more than once.
And also be able to improve and get better.
All right before I go to Section 2 let me see if any answers any questions have been asked.
And I can try to answer some of them.
Start from the bottom and go to the top o
this is people giving me advice for a ribbon
newly lose marks for capitalization.
Yeah if a word is if a word is a proper noun it should be capitalize I mean they technically they can
mark it wrong.
Sir $2 15 means how much.
I don't somebody I don't know how that's related to the question.
Do we lose a mark for plural word as well.
Like I said have gardens of art.
No you know.
Because a lot of times if you look at the answer she go how the word Gardendale have in parentheses
with this.
So most of the time you're safe with that
I've got 17 719 is is is pretty good.
But really for Section 1 if some of some of you are saying like some people say well I want to be able
to I want to be able to get at least seven on my listening section if you want to be able to get a 7
on your listening section.
You can't have more than 10 wrong.
So really for number for Section 1 you have to be great at Section 1 because the test gets the test
gets progressively more difficult as you go.
It gets progressively more difficult as you go.
So you know in section 1 You really should be shooting for one wrong.
Section 2 2 rolls Section 3 3 wrong section 4 or 4 wrong.
If you do that you'll end up with a 7.
Right now you get better at sections 3 and 4.
Wrong in those and you might end up with a seven point five or eight.
OK but you have to be able to manage yourself very well in six months.
So three wrong three wrong.
Section One sounds good but really is not a good you really should be able to get like this one wrong
and section one because you have three more sections to go.
So now in case of a zip code there is a space after four or five digits if I don't get the space.
Yes I still want to count as correct.
I want to get 10 a.m. keep trying.
If I write in small letters is that correct.
Now don't write you have to write things correctly right.
OK.
So if it's a proper noun then you'll have a capital letter.
If it's just a normal word like course like here on mine I capitalize it.
I didn't mean I didn't need to capitalize it like the word horse.
You could put like the word horse with a capital age or small age.
OK.
Now they're not going to mark it right or they're not going to mark it wrong.
I'll just pencil only how many mistakes are allow for listening 8 or 8.5 5 mistakes total are about
five or six mistakes total.
All right.
So let's move on to Section 2 so my.
