WEBVTT 00:00.930 --> 00:07.530 High there in this next lecture we're going to go over something that is really really important when 00:07.530 --> 00:09.040 it comes to reading. 00:09.420 --> 00:15.390 And it doesn't matter if it's the general exam or the academic exam the same thing applies. 00:15.560 --> 00:22.440 There's this lecture is of course for the academic test because it's in that section but there is a 00:22.440 --> 00:25.270 similar video this in the General test. 00:25.620 --> 00:32.790 And if you're taking the academic test you can practice with the general materials if you're taking 00:32.800 --> 00:33.620 the General test. 00:33.620 --> 00:36.290 You can practice with the academic materials. 00:36.390 --> 00:36.710 All right. 00:36.720 --> 00:43.710 So what we're going to be doing today is really practicing and learning how to scan for keywords language 00:44.610 --> 00:47.310 how to really scan for Sydenham language. 00:47.340 --> 00:55.770 Now sometimes when you are scanning for the matching sentence sometimes you have some really good keywords 00:55.770 --> 01:03.420 or you can use the help you find this sentence and that might be a date or maybe a name or maybe name 01:03.420 --> 01:09.420 of a country or some type of scientific word or something like that that's going to make it easy to 01:09.420 --> 01:14.360 find the matching sentence from the question to the passage. 01:14.400 --> 01:22.830 However once you get in the once you get inside of the correct sentence then it's a matter of Especially 01:22.830 --> 01:29.880 when it comes to our field of playing questions and short answer questions and sentence completion questions 01:30.630 --> 01:32.880 especially for those kind of questions. 01:32.880 --> 01:41.160 Are you able to find the key word language does synonyms that point you towards the answer. 01:41.160 --> 01:44.700 Are you able to master synonyms that point you towards the answer. 01:44.970 --> 01:54.840 So what we're going to do today is there's work on creating a synonym vocabulary chart creating a synonym 01:54.840 --> 01:56.240 vocabulary chart. 01:56.430 --> 01:58.830 And I tell students all the time. 01:59.070 --> 02:08.580 I tell students all the time that when you're doing this when you're using a reading passage that don't 02:08.580 --> 02:12.060 just try to answer the questions and move on to the next one. 02:12.330 --> 02:15.070 Use this reading passage. 02:15.270 --> 02:21.180 Drain it for as much as you can get out of it there's so many different ways that you can build your 02:21.180 --> 02:24.910 skill level with just one reading passage. 02:25.170 --> 02:25.460 Right. 02:25.470 --> 02:31.230 So like with this reading passage which is from book 13 and this test on reform called the Cutty Sark 02:31.500 --> 02:37.060 Cutty Sark the full name was Cutty Sark the fastest sailing ship of all time. 02:37.560 --> 02:43.050 But you know you may use it to answer the questions but also you say well you know what I'm going to 02:43.050 --> 02:44.660 work on my scanning ability. 02:44.700 --> 02:47.270 I'm going to work on my and matching ability. 02:47.280 --> 02:51.720 How will how will my scanning for languages using synonyms. 02:51.750 --> 02:59.760 Because that's the key to be fast to being fast and being able to have answers the point to have have 02:59.960 --> 03:03.450 a language that points to the answer choice. 03:03.450 --> 03:03.710 Right. 03:03.710 --> 03:10.410 So what I've what I've already done here is I've pulled out the key word language from some of the questions 03:11.270 --> 03:11.790 right. 03:11.830 --> 03:17.620 And what I'm going to do is go into the passage and find that matching key word language. 03:17.890 --> 03:20.850 Ok I find their matching key word language. 03:20.850 --> 03:26.010 So this came from this reading has it right here. 03:26.010 --> 03:28.940 But the Cutty Sark right. 03:30.310 --> 03:44.200 And so first I poured questions from the True False where the truth was given and then I poured language 03:44.340 --> 03:50.160 for the pup was some key language from the field of blank questions. 03:50.200 --> 03:55.370 Now for the for the truth was not given question. 03:55.540 --> 04:01.630 We're just working on scanning being able to find matching language like the matching language that 04:01.630 --> 04:07.840 were scanning for and in them language for scanning for this is not like this is not necessarily the 04:07.840 --> 04:13.750 language I will be using to find this sentence but after that I find this sentence I will be looking 04:13.750 --> 04:14.620 for this language. 04:14.620 --> 04:17.700 Help me point towards that particular answer choice. 04:18.050 --> 04:18.700 OK. 04:19.000 --> 04:21.540 So let's be clear about that right now. 04:21.580 --> 04:25.930 We're not working on finding the answer. 04:26.020 --> 04:34.310 We're just working on the ability to locate synonym language that comes from the question in there and 04:34.330 --> 04:40.270 find it in the passage sentence so that we can get better at being able to find language that points 04:40.270 --> 04:42.010 to the answer choice. 04:42.010 --> 04:44.220 So I want to be very very clear on that. 04:44.680 --> 04:45.330 All right. 04:45.490 --> 04:49.660 So this first set of questions. 04:49.810 --> 04:51.820 It comes from questions 1 to 8. 04:52.150 --> 04:56.590 And what you want to do is you would look at the questions and know which sentence is the key where 04:56.590 --> 04:58.540 language comes from. 04:58.870 --> 05:02.100 I know which sentence is the key where language comes from. 05:02.830 --> 05:16.990 All right so the language that I'm looking for is I'm looking for me see me. 05:17.060 --> 05:29.720 I'm looking for I intended to be I I'm going to be looking for language like favored. 05:30.420 --> 05:30.680 All right. 05:30.700 --> 05:38.120 Now contract between John Willis and Scott Linton this language John Willis and Scott Linton that would 05:38.120 --> 05:41.050 be the language I use to find my right sentence. 05:41.580 --> 05:47.640 But this word favorite is equally important because this word favored is what's going to be used to 05:47.640 --> 05:51.400 tell me if the answer will be true false or not given. 05:51.400 --> 05:52.580 Do you understand. 05:54.150 --> 05:59.280 When I get to the correct sentence is either going to use synonym language that means the same as favored 05:59.850 --> 06:05.850 or so and use synonym language it is contradiction to favored or won't say whether it's favored or not. 06:05.880 --> 06:08.210 And in that situation it will be not given. 06:08.880 --> 06:16.830 And that's why being able to spot the synonym language this in the sentence is it is so important to 06:16.830 --> 06:19.900 be able to find your correct answer choice. 06:20.280 --> 06:25.100 But again I'm not going over the answer choices. 06:25.200 --> 06:28.060 Please don't send me a message and say Can you give the answers. 06:28.110 --> 06:30.910 No that's not the purpose of this. 06:31.370 --> 06:31.890 OK. 06:31.920 --> 06:32.290 I'm not. 06:32.290 --> 06:34.860 The purpose is not giving answers right now. 06:34.860 --> 06:38.070 The purpose is working on this scale of scanning. 06:38.400 --> 06:41.410 That's what we're working on right now. 06:41.530 --> 06:48.750 What you need to have is you know after this video there are going to be three more lectures and those 06:48.750 --> 06:52.610 three those three other lectures our practice test. 06:52.800 --> 06:56.270 Those are practice test were those practice test. 06:56.400 --> 07:01.200 You have to have the book to be able to do the practice test. 07:01.350 --> 07:03.190 I can not give you the book. 07:03.600 --> 07:04.470 OK. 07:04.500 --> 07:08.410 Please don't ask me to give you the book I can give you the book. 07:09.250 --> 07:09.710 OK. 07:09.720 --> 07:11.490 I cannot do that. 07:11.490 --> 07:20.380 So in the end the description for the next few practice tests that come up you need to have those you 07:20.450 --> 07:23.940 to have that book so that you can practice doing this. 07:23.940 --> 07:29.700 Now eventually what you want to be able to do is you want to be able to go you know when you finish 07:29.700 --> 07:39.050 a practice tests create your own your own vocabulary matching chart between the question language and 07:39.050 --> 07:40.360 the passage language. 07:40.520 --> 07:45.590 Practice creating your own Ok practice creating your own. 07:45.590 --> 07:49.670 All right now walk you through it I was looking for a intended to be favored. 07:49.830 --> 07:53.740 I'll be also like this word wanted. 07:54.320 --> 07:54.670 Right. 07:54.690 --> 08:01.260 Because in language that he wanted or did he not want that either essay he wanted it because they didn't 08:01.260 --> 08:03.330 want it or he'll be like 08:07.150 --> 08:08.640 all right for this one. 08:08.730 --> 08:12.750 Sometimes you have to find language. 08:13.350 --> 08:24.910 Sometimes you have to find language that is even more like the whole a whole phrase right here is more 08:24.910 --> 08:31.870 of a whole phrase going to be looking for a synonym language that either supports that or doesn't support 08:31.870 --> 08:37.230 that. 08:37.270 --> 08:37.680 All right. 08:37.720 --> 08:40.420 And what are some of them you're looking for. 08:40.860 --> 08:41.430 Oh yeah. 08:43.010 --> 08:44.620 The word travel 08:47.360 --> 08:50.930 right now just because you find a synonym for number seven. 08:51.230 --> 08:55.840 If I find a synonym for the word travel it doesn't mean the answer is true. 08:56.360 --> 09:00.410 OK this is just a synonym that helps me confirm I am in the right sentence. 09:00.470 --> 09:06.890 You still have to look at the sentence and determine is it true false or not given you still have to 09:06.890 --> 09:09.580 do that. 09:09.890 --> 09:10.510 All right. 09:10.730 --> 09:20.130 And also I'm looking for at risk of hitting so Clipper's were originally intended to be used as passenger 09:20.130 --> 09:26.460 ship so watch how I do this and watch I'll fill in the chart and then afterwards you can practice with 09:26.460 --> 09:30.570 the practice test to see how it's done. 09:30.610 --> 09:33.260 OK you can practice to see how it's done. 09:39.220 --> 09:47.360 Oh one wrong way intended to be Clipper's were originally intended to be 09:59.660 --> 10:04.550 the fastest commercial sailing ships of all time Rick Clipper's three massive ships built to transport 10:04.550 --> 10:06.450 goods. 10:06.470 --> 10:15.880 So for example build two is the same as intended to be. 10:15.990 --> 10:22.200 Now I said previously I'm not going to the answers but just to show you just very briefly I'm going 10:22.200 --> 10:27.720 to do it just this one time to show you what I mean by just because you find this having them language 10:28.200 --> 10:31.240 that afterwords you will determine true false or not give them. 10:31.240 --> 10:34.920 Right now we're just working on finding it in them language. 10:34.920 --> 10:41.890 But just to make the point right here is is built to transport goods. 10:42.000 --> 10:47.990 What does our question say intended to be used as passengers. 10:47.990 --> 10:49.520 So this would be what everybody 10:53.470 --> 10:54.560 false. 10:54.690 --> 10:58.710 I was pausing for a second to give you a chance to answer the passage said. 10:58.720 --> 11:00.040 Built to transport goods. 11:00.040 --> 11:05.680 The question is intended to be used as passenger ships that will make this answer to be false. 11:05.770 --> 11:08.460 But the point now I'm not going to do that again. 11:08.470 --> 11:09.840 So don't ask me. 11:09.850 --> 11:10.500 All right. 11:10.690 --> 11:16.930 The point I'm making is intended to be the start of the match would be built to. 11:17.350 --> 11:18.050 OK. 11:19.800 --> 11:21.270 Now the next one is. 11:21.450 --> 11:33.360 Number two we're home of the contract and looking for language about favored or not favored or empty. 11:33.570 --> 11:38.680 It is Scott Linton and sure OK here's the language right here. 11:40.680 --> 11:44.550 Put him in a very strong position that means favored 11:55.210 --> 11:57.960 again here we value a sit in in language. 11:57.960 --> 12:04.900 But our answer was false because they had two different things intended for passengers intended to transport 12:04.900 --> 12:05.630 goods. 12:05.860 --> 12:09.790 So just because you find is in a language you still have to look at the sentence and determine what 12:09.790 --> 12:12.440 is the answer I want it 12:19.290 --> 12:27.170 know what I want wanted wanted wanted. 12:27.440 --> 12:31.310 You'll go much faster if you have the book because you won't have to scroll up and down like I'm being 12:31.310 --> 12:32.570 forced to do. 12:32.810 --> 12:35.930 John Walsh wanted to be faster between U.K. and China 12:40.010 --> 12:40.800 OK. 12:42.750 --> 12:46.450 Here's Will is China Britain sending them UK. 12:46.740 --> 12:47.960 I'm looking for a wanted 12:54.580 --> 12:56.130 was designed to. 12:56.410 --> 12:57.630 Was designed to. 12:57.700 --> 13:00.170 Is a synonym for him wanting to do something 13:06.280 --> 13:09.550 could travel between Britain and China faster than Clipper's 13:20.780 --> 13:24.540 steamships could travel in Britain and trying to fast Clippers. 13:29.060 --> 13:31.350 Pretty much faster than the Bruce 13:34.900 --> 13:36.060 brick in China. 13:40.430 --> 13:41.120 All right. 13:41.210 --> 13:47.720 And I think that was also Suez Canal. 13:47.770 --> 13:57.830 So here's our language right here that confirms that the canal is of no use to sailing ships the canal 13:57.830 --> 14:00.090 is of no use to sailing ships 14:12.090 --> 14:16.140 sailing ships are a synonym for Clipper's 14:18.940 --> 14:19.280 right. 14:19.310 --> 14:19.930 So 14:22.600 --> 14:25.050 yeah we were answering this actually will be true. 14:25.220 --> 14:28.460 But this is the language that matches this that confirms this language. 14:28.460 --> 14:31.800 Right this is the matching language. 14:31.970 --> 14:33.260 I want to do. 14:33.900 --> 14:34.570 OK. 14:40.100 --> 14:42.740 Right here is the synonym for travel. 14:42.740 --> 14:43.730 The word Journey 14:47.920 --> 14:49.450 OK the word journey 14:53.590 --> 14:58.110 travel and journey. 14:58.210 --> 14:58.750 All right. 14:58.840 --> 15:01.390 And then at the risk of hitting 15:05.970 --> 15:08.540 here's the question. 15:09.200 --> 15:13.030 Captain would you put the risk at risk of hitting. 15:13.130 --> 15:16.250 Captain would you put the risk at risk of hitting 15:19.140 --> 15:20.490 here's what I. 15:21.120 --> 15:24.130 Here's what I did. 15:24.960 --> 15:29.810 Breaking her dangerous is that language right here dangerously close 15:32.480 --> 15:33.920 dangerously close to 15:42.280 --> 15:44.020 an risk of hitting. 15:44.030 --> 15:44.340 All right. 15:44.350 --> 15:50.140 So this is how we look at Matching lane which would help us determine then if the answer is true false 15:50.140 --> 15:51.240 or not given. 15:51.550 --> 15:51.930 OK. 15:51.940 --> 15:58.390 But again we're just working on our ability to scan and recognize synonym language. 15:58.390 --> 16:02.050 That is one of the keys to doing well in the exam. 16:02.050 --> 16:04.980 All right and this is something you have to be able to do on your own. 16:04.990 --> 16:08.140 Next I'm looking at questions nine to 13 16:12.990 --> 16:17.910 looking at questions 19:13. 16:18.240 --> 16:18.740 All right. 16:18.740 --> 16:21.380 So these are Fill the blank questions. 16:21.380 --> 16:26.520 So I'm really paying attention to like the word carry. 16:27.380 --> 16:32.420 This was actually easy because as a captain and something else I mean it's two positions a captain and 16:32.420 --> 16:39.560 something else we're going to find a synonym language for whoever finds the damn language for carryed 16:40.600 --> 16:47.030 when finances in a language war for very skilled because whatever the answer is is connected to very 16:47.030 --> 16:50.020 skilled. 16:50.060 --> 16:55.910 We're going to find are we looking for used for 16:58.840 --> 17:07.430 use for and damaged by after 1880. 17:08.030 --> 17:12.930 He carried what after he TVT 17:18.970 --> 17:23.080 years 1880. 17:23.080 --> 17:26.470 All right so I'm looking for a synonym for carryed 17:29.860 --> 17:30.560 right here. 17:35.090 --> 17:38.700 Transporting. 17:38.780 --> 17:39.280 All right. 17:39.410 --> 17:49.010 And so we that we can immediately find or answer for that one next. 17:49.200 --> 17:51.680 Very skilled. 17:52.450 --> 17:54.610 Here's the captain right. 17:55.110 --> 17:57.410 It was an excellent navigator. 17:57.750 --> 18:02.020 Excellent is a synonym for very skilled. 18:03.030 --> 18:07.880 I told you connected to the language right. 18:08.060 --> 18:09.660 Excellent. 18:10.190 --> 18:16.040 And what you're doing what you're doing when you're doing this is when you watch what you're actually 18:16.040 --> 18:27.690 doing is you're just working on the skill you're working on the skill of being able to the skill of 18:27.690 --> 18:29.800 being able to locate language. 18:33.610 --> 18:33.980 All right. 18:34.040 --> 18:34.710 So 18:37.420 --> 18:42.670 between 1923 and 1954 Currie's star Cutty Sark was used for 18:47.840 --> 18:55.380 1923 and 54 years 1922 it was 1954. 18:59.520 --> 19:04.300 Here is used as a ok 19:07.780 --> 19:09.050 used for 19:13.160 --> 19:20.750 use as a fine old one is something about 19:26.040 --> 19:30.240 damaged by damaged by 19:33.660 --> 19:38.120 suffered from. 19:38.280 --> 19:38.580 Right. 19:38.580 --> 19:44.060 So because we're the ones who find the right said it's all about just scanning for that key word language 19:45.430 --> 19:49.510 damaged by suffer from. 19:49.700 --> 19:50.090 Right. 19:50.170 --> 19:54.550 But you have to work on this skill. 19:54.750 --> 19:59.160 You have to work on the skill of scanning. 19:59.240 --> 19:59.570 All right.
