WEBVTT 00:03.030 --> 00:03.630 All right. 00:03.630 --> 00:04.170 So 00:07.440 --> 00:14.000 let's take a look at the standard example of a multiple choice question let's get the right size in 00:14.030 --> 00:21.660 here first and make sure that everybody can see it really good. 00:21.670 --> 00:29.040 Now in terms of the standard this one is about the development of museums and this is coming from the 00:29.070 --> 00:29.790 Cambridge book. 00:29.790 --> 00:32.900 Number nine tests for reading passage three. 00:33.480 --> 00:34.420 OK. 00:34.430 --> 00:37.460 Like I've told you get those Cambridge books they're great. 00:37.560 --> 00:39.030 Best practice in the world. 00:39.060 --> 00:45.780 Use them and then it's going to help you get a really great score. 00:45.780 --> 00:46.160 All right. 00:46.230 --> 00:54.120 So look at the standard multiple choice question when it comes to the reading comprehension so here 00:54.120 --> 01:03.540 we go we are 31 32 33 34 and 35 and 36. 01:03.570 --> 01:08.750 So these questions go in order current they go and order. 01:09.090 --> 01:17.520 And so like I said the first thing we want to look at or look at which questions are going to be the 01:17.610 --> 01:21.330 easiest for us to do first. 01:21.600 --> 01:24.660 Which ones are going to be the easiest for us to do first. 01:24.700 --> 01:33.120 And so when we're when we're talking about which ones are easiest for us to do first I would say number 01:33.120 --> 01:42.330 33 where it talks about heritage sites and theme parks those are good words to find number 32 where 01:42.330 --> 01:49.340 it talks about the heritage industry and current trends and that's going to be pretty easy to find. 01:49.590 --> 01:58.170 Number 35 gives us the exact paragraph paragraph key that was probably going to be pretty easy to find 01:58.260 --> 01:59.230 also. 01:59.530 --> 02:00.220 OK. 02:00.540 --> 02:07.830 So if I were doing the real exam I would probably do 32 33 and then 35 can then that will let me know 02:07.830 --> 02:09.520 where the other questions are. 02:09.720 --> 02:16.280 Because as I've told you a multiple choice question the standard multiple choice question goes in order. 02:16.560 --> 02:23.430 That means you know they go in order of the passage and then by now I know you've listened to a lot 02:23.430 --> 02:24.700 of my lectures. 02:24.960 --> 02:28.180 So you understand what I mean by going in order. 02:28.190 --> 02:33.030 Thirty two comes after 31 33 comes after 32 so forth and so on. 02:33.450 --> 02:37.770 So let's go and try to find them at 32. 02:37.770 --> 02:42.670 First we have to go we have to now go and scan. 02:42.990 --> 02:46.710 We can we can we can look at some of the answer choices and we see. 02:46.880 --> 02:50.060 We're talking about emphasizing personal involvement. 02:50.070 --> 02:55.540 Georgian's in New York and London computer images are minority taste. 02:55.540 --> 03:00.530 Those will be some of the keywords and the answer choices but as quaint and find our matching sentence 03:00.540 --> 03:03.990 current trends and the heritage industry 03:21.690 --> 03:23.670 Hi here. 03:23.680 --> 03:24.680 Here's our 03:28.520 --> 03:39.020 here's our language right here where it talks about recently which means currently here we have in terms 03:39.020 --> 03:41.960 of heritage is right here. 03:41.960 --> 03:42.850 All right. 03:43.210 --> 03:49.920 And so we actually have a combination of these two sentences that is making our question up. 03:50.120 --> 03:52.660 We have these two sentences as making our question. 03:53.030 --> 04:00.100 So it says Recently however attitudes towards history reading right here. 04:01.190 --> 04:08.030 Recently however attitudes towards history and the way it should be presented have altered the key word 04:08.060 --> 04:08.900 in heritage. 04:08.900 --> 04:14.340 Display is now experience the more exciting the better. 04:14.480 --> 04:17.210 And if possible involving all the senses 04:22.220 --> 04:26.090 All right we double check That's our key word sentence 04:32.120 --> 04:40.190 current trends current trends and current trends in the here to industry current trends 04:52.950 --> 04:54.340 current trends 05:10.740 --> 05:11.590 right. 05:16.050 --> 05:27.170 You know the key word in which play is now Chris. 05:28.580 --> 05:30.110 OK sorry about that pause. 05:30.220 --> 05:32.070 I had to go and grab some water. 05:32.070 --> 05:34.710 Your teacher was losing his voice a little bit. 05:34.710 --> 05:35.260 Sorry. 05:35.460 --> 05:36.920 Sorry about that. 05:37.560 --> 05:38.110 OK. 05:38.220 --> 05:39.960 All right so let's go back here. 05:39.960 --> 05:42.120 These are key sentences right here. 05:42.120 --> 05:47.120 Recently however attitudes towards history and the way it should be presented have altered the key word 05:47.190 --> 05:54.210 here is that heritage display is now experience the more exciting the better it possibly involving all 05:54.210 --> 05:55.570 the senses. 05:55.590 --> 06:03.040 So when we look back at number 32 the current trends in inherited inherited industry. 06:03.210 --> 06:07.730 The correct answer is number a emphasize personal involvement. 06:07.980 --> 06:13.840 Because it says that it should involve all the senses when it says it should involve all the senses. 06:13.860 --> 06:18.050 That's that's that's synonym language or meaning personal involvement. 06:18.050 --> 06:18.320 All right. 06:18.330 --> 06:25.780 Also when you find the when you find the matching sentence all the other answers look wrong there's 06:25.780 --> 06:27.580 nothing about York and London. 06:27.760 --> 06:35.540 There's nothing about computer images and there's nothing about reflecting minority and minority taste. 06:36.010 --> 06:39.150 So we know that B C and D are wrong. 06:39.370 --> 06:40.990 That's why it's so important. 06:41.470 --> 06:46.210 That's why it's so important for you to be able to find your magic sentence the better you are being 06:46.210 --> 06:51.990 able to find your matching sentence the better you're going to be able to do these these types of questions. 06:52.060 --> 07:01.570 Now let's look at number 33 heritage sites and theme parks work in close partnership separate identities 07:01.660 --> 07:06.420 similar exhibits less and less easy to distinguish. 07:06.490 --> 07:07.660 So that's some of the information. 07:07.680 --> 07:12.220 Look out for when I find the right sentence. 07:12.410 --> 07:17.910 It goes in order so I know it has to come after. 07:18.020 --> 07:19.730 Well here it is right here. 07:19.780 --> 07:24.050 I know it has a home after this sentence has it come after this question right here from this part. 07:24.400 --> 07:27.900 And here we have heritage sites and theme parks. 07:28.010 --> 07:30.860 So that's that's our matching sentence right there. 07:31.100 --> 07:31.960 OK. 07:32.480 --> 07:37.430 That's our matching sentence that's only sent us where we're going to see heritage site and theme park 07:37.430 --> 07:43.950 together get a related development the sharp distinction between museum and heritage sites. 07:44.090 --> 07:49.560 On the one hand theme parks on the other is gradually evaporating. 07:49.690 --> 07:55.950 So it's telling us the distinction between the two is gradually evaporating the distinction between 07:55.950 --> 08:04.760 the heritage site and a theme park is gradually evaporating evaporating mean going away. 08:04.940 --> 08:08.930 So we look at number 33 which matches that information. 08:08.990 --> 08:10.430 The answer is D. 08:10.610 --> 08:13.440 Less easy to distinguish them before. 08:13.580 --> 08:20.990 Less easy to distinguish them before right because it says that is gradually evaporating. 08:21.170 --> 08:28.190 The distinction between the heritage site and a theme park is gradually evaporating the synonym answer 08:28.190 --> 08:29.310 for that is choice. 08:29.310 --> 08:36.010 The less easy to distinguish them before so see you have to pay attention to it in any language. 08:36.010 --> 08:40.350 I think it's a descendant of languages is very very important. 08:40.400 --> 08:43.060 I know what 32 and 33 are right. 08:43.300 --> 08:49.970 So now I know that number 31 has to come before 32 and 34 comes after 33 so that makes it a little bit 08:49.970 --> 08:54.470 easier to find where these questions are located. 08:54.830 --> 08:57.830 So let's go ahead and find number 31. 08:57.920 --> 08:59.510 Compare with today's museums. 08:59.510 --> 09:03.680 Those are the past compare with today's museums. 09:03.680 --> 09:04.460 Those are the past. 09:04.460 --> 09:05.610 Now if you want to. 09:05.810 --> 09:08.240 You don't have to look at the keywords in the answer choices. 09:08.270 --> 09:14.210 That's a step that you know you can do that but it's not really that relevant or important. 09:14.210 --> 09:19.730 If you want you can go directly to the sentence or read it and then pick your answer compare with today's 09:19.730 --> 09:20.270 museums. 09:20.270 --> 09:23.070 Those are the past so that's what I'm looking for. 09:28.290 --> 09:34.050 And it has to come before paragraph B because paragraph B was for question number 32. 09:38.760 --> 09:40.130 It Here we go. 09:40.240 --> 09:44.710 Museums used to look right museums used to look. 09:44.710 --> 09:47.770 So this museums used to look. 09:47.820 --> 09:53.500 This desk tells me that's the right sentence because our question is saying compared with today's museums 09:53.950 --> 09:56.280 museums of the past. 09:56.360 --> 09:59.620 So it talks about museums used to look. 09:59.620 --> 09:59.970 Right. 09:59.980 --> 10:02.820 That's talking about museums in the past. 10:02.830 --> 10:04.790 So I know that's the right sentence. 10:07.320 --> 10:07.600 Right. 10:07.590 --> 10:16.710 So it says museums used to look and some still do much like storage room objects packed together and 10:16.710 --> 10:18.090 showcases. 10:18.210 --> 10:25.260 Good for scholars who wanted to study the subtle differences and design but not for the ordinary visitor 10:25.860 --> 10:28.130 to whom it all looked alike. 10:31.360 --> 10:35.350 List of big storage room objects packed together. 10:35.670 --> 10:43.890 Good for the scholar but not for the ordinary visitor who would all look alike to quite so for number 10:43.890 --> 10:45.040 31. 10:45.150 --> 10:47.670 Our correct answer is B. 10:48.030 --> 10:54.240 Were not primarily intended for the public because when we looked at that sentence we looked at that 10:54.240 --> 10:54.920 sentence. 10:54.920 --> 11:00.960 That sentence says that it was museums that used to be or used to look and some still do like a bit 11:00.960 --> 11:07.410 still of like a big storage locker and it said it was good for the professionals but it was not good 11:07.410 --> 11:15.240 for the average visitor because everything looked the same so the synonym answer for that is that in 11:15.240 --> 11:20.140 the past it was not primarily intended for the public right. 11:20.340 --> 11:27.860 That's the only answer choice B is the only answer we can pull from those sentences. 11:28.140 --> 11:33.360 I did not present history in a detailed way we can't say that were more clearly organized. 11:33.360 --> 11:34.830 We know that's false. 11:34.830 --> 11:36.330 Preserve items with greater care. 11:36.330 --> 11:37.270 We don't know that. 11:37.410 --> 11:45.300 OK we don't know that the answer that the the answer that comes from the sentence is choice B. 11:46.650 --> 11:52.780 OK now let's look at number 34. 11:52.920 --> 12:00.510 The writer says that in preparing exhibits for museums experts should write so in preparing and preparing 12:00.600 --> 12:09.630 what should what should the experts do in preparing exhibits for preparing exhibits for museums What 12:09.630 --> 12:12.010 should they do right. 12:12.030 --> 12:13.580 So have a look at that and see 12:16.390 --> 12:18.370 we know what comes after 33 12:22.860 --> 12:31.260 it as a reminder 33 was from right here and show them paragraph season has come after that and we're 12:31.270 --> 13:06.620 scared if we're scanning for where it talks about preparing an exhibit. 13:07.500 --> 13:08.080 All right. 13:08.100 --> 13:10.310 So here 13:14.530 --> 13:25.490 is talking about them here is talking about them preparing starting right here we're talking about heritage. 13:25.540 --> 13:27.530 This is this is where this is where we're at. 13:27.550 --> 13:29.950 We're talking about. 13:31.430 --> 13:31.810 All right. 13:31.840 --> 13:33.610 This is where we're talking about. 13:34.150 --> 13:34.590 All right. 13:34.600 --> 13:40.720 So what a multiple choice question sometimes makes it difficult also sometimes for multiple choice question 13:40.720 --> 13:46.390 like I've told you you have to be more than one set and sometimes for a multiple choice question to 13:46.390 --> 13:48.210 be able to get it right. 13:48.280 --> 13:48.790 All right. 13:48.790 --> 13:52.370 So let's take a look again a question for number thirty four. 13:52.720 --> 13:59.460 The writer says that in preparing exhibits for museums experts must What must they do. 14:04.890 --> 14:10.200 So lubra here says those who are professionally engaged in the art of interpreting history. 14:10.600 --> 14:16.830 Right when it's when it's talking about that because talking about them has professionally engage in 14:16.830 --> 14:22.810 talking about experts in the art of interpreting history and talk about them preparing an exhibit. 14:22.870 --> 14:26.310 That's what they're talking about here they're talking about them preparing an exhibit. 14:26.920 --> 14:29.570 OK. 14:30.550 --> 14:33.090 You could have started right side right here at Coxwell museum. 14:33.110 --> 14:40.240 Experts do not have to invent stories and recreate historical environments that it's already in place. 14:40.240 --> 14:40.980 But we need us. 14:40.990 --> 14:43.270 This is our sentence right here. 14:43.270 --> 14:49.030 Those who are professionally engaged in the art of interpreting history are thus in a difficult position 14:49.600 --> 14:56.160 as they must steer a narrow course between the demands of evidence and attractiveness. 14:56.360 --> 14:56.830 Right. 14:56.830 --> 15:03.070 So they have to when they are preparing an exhibit when they're interpreting history which is another 15:03.070 --> 15:08.620 way of saying preparing that exhibit this is really this question 34 is a really challenging question 15:09.100 --> 15:13.090 because they're using a lot of student of language here for the right sentence. 15:13.090 --> 15:18.710 And this is coming and reading passage three and as I told you at the very beginning reading passage 15:18.730 --> 15:24.700 three a lot of times are going to be the more difficult question is going to have the more difficult 15:24.700 --> 15:32.350 questions because they're trying to separate a person who can get a score of an eight or nine from a 15:32.350 --> 15:34.950 person who can get a score of a six or seven. 15:34.960 --> 15:40.720 So a lot of times of reading past history that's where you find the more difficult questions. 15:41.170 --> 15:47.200 Those Zorg Innes's those who are professionally engaged in the art of reinterpreting history are thus 15:47.260 --> 15:53.790 in a difficult position as a musti or a narrow course between the demands of evidence and attractiveness 15:54.220 --> 15:55.430 attractiveness. 15:55.540 --> 16:02.470 So they have to decide between two things that are correct answers is going to be I have to balance 16:02.470 --> 16:05.100 conflicting priorities. 16:05.920 --> 16:08.780 They have to balance conflicting priorities. 16:13.290 --> 16:13.720 All right. 16:13.720 --> 16:15.620 So I'm going to stop right there. 16:15.620 --> 16:21.790 Number 34 for these multiple choice questions because I want to I want to do another example for you 16:22.210 --> 16:26.650 but I'm just trying to really give you the right not trying to give you an idea of how this strategy 16:26.650 --> 16:28.640 works for multiple choice questions. 16:28.720 --> 16:33.220 Sometimes you have to read more than one sentence to get a correct answer. 16:34.120 --> 16:39.860 But the important thing to remember is this question goes in order and you have to be able to find the 16:39.850 --> 16:41.980 sentence that the question is coming from. 16:42.220 --> 16:47.680 I haven't read that sentence and possibly the next sentence to be able to get the correct answer choice 16:48.070 --> 16:52.540 for these multiple choice questions but the good thing is that they go in order and that's something 16:52.540 --> 16:56.160 that can be very very helpful in terms of doing this type of question. 16:56.270 --> 16:58.190 OK I'll talk to you soon.
