OK.
So let's take a look at another.
Let's take a look at another.
Yes don't give in question in terms of the question of strategy for how to do your best and given a
question from from a basic standpoint and like I like I've told you the question goes in order.
So you want to look at it and decide which questions are easiest to do first this reading passages coming
from the Isles book ten tests one reading passage to.
I've told you many of the other videos.
I really recommend that you really go out and get the Cambridge textbooks because the Cambridge textbooks
are the best books books to use the Cambridge textbooks are the books that I'm using to teach this course
were the books that I use to teach all of my old courses.
I recommend them for my students and I recommend them for you also.
I don't work for Cambridge I don't get paid by Cambridge but I'm just telling you as I always will what
I think is the best is just like in my Tofel course that I teach for you also.
You can you can know that I'm going to recommend to you the best things so let's get started.
This reading passage is dealing with European transport systems.
OK.
You don't have to read the passage or or read the introduction or read the topic sentences go right
to the questions because for questions that go in order that you have to be able you can scan better.
Better to learn how to scan because you don't have time for reading a whole passage.
They don't give you time for that.
It's about testing your ability just scan for specific information.
All right so when we look our questions here when we look at our questions here 22 23 24 25 26 look
at it first to say what was easiest to do first.
Right.
So number 25 has 30 years.
So that's going to be easy to find.
And we're 26 says 739 billion tonnes in CO2 that's going to be easy to find.
And also number 24 with the words EU candidate that's going to be easy to find.
So I would probably start with 24 25 and 26 and then go back and do 22 or 23 because we know that 23
and 22 will come before 2004 because this is a yes no question.
And they go in order.
Right.
And 24 25 or 26 are going to be the easiest to find.
So let's start with 24 24 says cars are prohibitively expensive.
An EU candidate countries.
Prohibitively expensive when it says for those of you that are vocabulary challenged when he says cars
are prohibitively expensive.
In layman's terms that means that they're there so there's.
They're so expensive that you would want to have them or they are so expensive that it goes against
wanting to buy one.
That's what that basically means.
So cars are prohibitively expensive in some EU candidate countries so it's fine.
Key words here EU candidate countries.
Let's see what it says EU Canada countries
spined that will scan and this find it.
You knew you you
there's a Cubano candidate.
All right.
And here we go here's the word candidate.
Here is the word EU.
Right.
So that's our sentence.
OK.
That's how you know what's the right sentence to look at it's not about reading the whole passage his
being.
Is this about being able to recognize this about being able to recognize what is the right sentence
that I have to look at.
What is the proper sentence to look at here.
And that's what we're that's what you have to do.
You have to know that you have to be able to do that.
All right.
So let's go back quickly because there's the strong economic growth expected in countries which are
candidates for entry to the EU will also increase transport flows and that particular road haulage traffic
road haulage traffic to draw economic growth expected in countries which are candidates for entry to
the EU will also increase transport flows in particular road haulage traffic.
All right.
So that begs the question right we can see that this answer choice is going to be not given.
Why is it not given because number 24 says cars are prohibitively expensive in that in this sentence
in this sentence up here it says nothing about whether cars are going to be more expensive in the EU
candidate countries.
It tells you that there will be an increase in transportation flow meaning how many cars are going back
and forth and hauling for it for hauling traffic.
But it doesn't tell us that cars are going to be more expensive or got to be prohibitively expensive
it doesn't tell us that it does not say it.
Maybe it's true maybe it's not.
But in this sentence it doesn't say it.
All right.
So that's an answer that's not given.
OK that's an example of that given is missing.
It doesn't say they will be prohibitively more expensive.
It doesn't say they will not be prohibitively more expensive don't make a difference don't infer.
That's not what you do.
The answer is not given.
All right next we're looking for 30 years.
We know it has to come after this first sentence soulis scandale
look for 30 years.
There it is right down here.
Boom last sentence 30 years time right 40 years time.
Yes our last sentence down there says look at the question again.
Right the question says the Gotham Bergh European Council was set up 30 years ago.
The Gotham Bergh European Council was set up thirty years ago so I was looking to set it to see if he
says that the council will set up 30 years ago.
Says the ambitious objective can only be achieved by 2020 but proposed measures are nonetheless the
first essential step towards a sustainable transport system which will ideally be in place in 30 years
time.
That is by 2040 right.
So when we look at this centers we're talking about 30 years.
We don't know whether a guide doesn't say if the government Berkhout all will be set up by that time
or not.
That's why it's not given.
Also if you look at the centers where you see Gottenburg Council this objective agree agreed by the
European Council has been achieved by integrating environmental considerations into community policies
and shifting the balance between modes of transport lies at the heart of strategy.
Even in that sentence it doesn't tell us we don't know.
We don't know if the the Council was set up 30 years ago or not.
We don't know.
It doesn't tell us it's silent.
That's an example of not given OK that's an example of that given we don't know maybe it was set up
30 years ago maybe or was it set up 30 years ago we don't know when we don't know we put what everybody
not given it's silent.
We can't say it's false right.
It doesn't say it was set of 20 years of indelibly be false if it was true with it would say that it
was 30 years ago.
True is always true.
Falses change different or opposite.
Here it's a missing number twenty six seven point seven hundred thirty nine billion tons by the end
of this decade.
CO2 emissions from transport are predicted to reach seven hundred thirty nine billion tons by the end
of this decade.
CO2 emissions from transport are predicted to reach 739 billion tonnes.
Let's see if that's true.
We know it goes in order so this was the previous question.
So this next question has to come after the Budget thirty nine billion tons right there.
So let's see what this says.
According to the latest estimates if nothing is done I'm reading right here everybody.
So much the beginning of the beginning of the sentence is right here where there's according to just
the beginning of the sentence according to the latest estimates if nothing is done to reverse the traffic
growth trend CO2 emissions from transport can be expected to increase by around 50 percent to one point
1 1 2 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 and 113 billion tons by 2020 compared with the several hundred billion times
recorded in 1990.
So let's look and see what this information says.
Three sentences by the end of this decade CO2 emissions are predicted to reach several hundred thirty
nine billion tonnes right here tells us
that it will be one it will be.
This is false because it says by the end of this decade which is 2020 that it will be 1 million 113
billion tonnes.
This will be one Delia of you over one billion tonnes.
You know and here it was 730 9 billion tonnes in 1990 that's the previous two decades ago.
So this is an example of it as a choice being false.
Because in the next decade it will be is that going to be seven thirty nine billion seven hundred thirty
nine billion.
In 1990 a decade from now is going to be something different something is different or chains or opposite
that you want to put false
questions 1 and 2 to reduce production costs.
Some industries have been moved closer to their relevant customers to reduce production costs.
Some industries have been moved closer to their relevant customers.
So we have to do here is find that sentence.
Key words in the sentence reduce production costs industries and move closer to their customers to reduce
production costs.
Some industries have to move closer to their customers so as not for reducing production costs industries
and kust and consumers are not customers consumers and we know that this one has to come before number
24 because the question because the questions go in order
flow right here reduce production cost.
Right.
Because here was that question.
Here it is right here.
Reduce production cost.
We see it right here.
So look at this sentence so long sentence this phenomenon I'm reading right here which says the word
this this phenomenon has been emphasized by the relocation of some industries particularly those which
are labor intensive to reduce production costs even though the production side is hundreds or even thousands
of kilometers away from the final assembly plant or away from users away from users.
All right.
So it tells us here that they had to redo some relocation of some industries particularly those which
are labor intensive to reduce production costs the production site is hundreds or thousands of kilometers
away from the users.
Users is a synonym for consumers.
All right our question says our question says some interest we move closer to their relevant consumers
closer.
No no no no no this is false right.
This is false.
We know that because it says the production site is hundreds or thousands of kilometers away from the
users.
So they're they're not they're not moving closer to them.
This is where they are.
They are moving them hundreds or thousands of kilometers away from the users or consumers.
OK.
So that that's an example of false because we have it different.
And the question is say as moving closer in the passages say is going hundreds or thousands of kilometers
away away from the final assembly plant or away from the consumers which is the same as users.
So here we have an example of something being false everybody false.
And then look at the first one.
The need to reduce transport is growing.
The names are the need for transport is growing despite technological developments.
The need for transport is growing despite technological developments the need for transport is growing
despite.
So we know number 22 comes before 23.
All right here's our magic sentence right here.
This is to start with although because it says here the requirement for transport the requirement for
transport is the need for transport.
OK required for transport and get our sentences in our sentence.
We look at our sentence Our sentences.
You know the need for transport or the requirement for transport.
OK so that's our matching set is that we have to look at.
Now let's look at the two sentences and see if our information is going to be true or false or not given.
Although modern information technologies can reduce the demand for physical transport by facilitating
teleworking a Teleservices the requirement the requirement for it for transport to continues to increase.
So we have all the information we have modern technology it says the requirement for transport continues
to increase and our question or question it says the need for transport is growing.
All right.
Despite technological developments so is growing so is increasing by it's increasing so that the passage
itself the passage sentence tells us that the technological developments are there that we have them.
But it says the need for transport is increasing 70 percent of them for growing so this will be an example
of number 22 being true.
So to review number 22 was true 23 was false 24 and 25 were given it 26 was false.
All right so thanks a lot for listening to an example of how to do the yes.
No not given question.
It's all about your ability to scan and find the matching sentence and then you have to compare the
two sentences.
Compare the two sentences so I hope that I've been able to give you a really good explanation of how
to do the true false given question.
Thanks a lot everybody.
And now we're going to move on.
Cottesloe.
