WEBVTT 00:00.680 --> 00:01.290 OK. 00:01.350 --> 00:07.250 So let's go and take a look at how to do the center's completion question. 00:07.500 --> 00:10.670 We have already gone over the strategy for. 00:10.680 --> 00:17.450 But just as a quick reminder for the Senate's completion question when we are doing it. 00:17.620 --> 00:18.140 OK. 00:18.180 --> 00:26.860 You have to be able to look at the questions and you want to be able look at the key words in the questions. 00:27.120 --> 00:28.830 So take a look at the question here. 00:29.130 --> 00:30.870 Is a true false note given. 00:30.990 --> 00:33.270 All right here's a complete decentest question. 00:33.270 --> 00:37.300 So you have the questions and here you have the six possible answer choices. 00:37.620 --> 00:42.540 So when you're looking at this question what you have to be able to do is like looking number seven 00:42.540 --> 00:47.160 and look at what are the key words in the question and after you find the key words in the question 00:47.160 --> 00:50.470 go scan and find those key words in the passage. 00:50.570 --> 00:57.020 Scan right because scanning is the key and they read the sentence sometimes you read one sentence sometimes 00:57.020 --> 01:04.140 you read two sentences and then after that look of the answer choices and choose which one matches the 01:04.140 --> 01:06.280 information that you just read in the passage. 01:06.360 --> 01:07.030 OK. 01:07.260 --> 01:13.480 So it seems very straightforward that complete dissent is question is not that big of a challenge. 01:13.500 --> 01:19.210 It's somewhat similar to a matching question actually somewhat similar to a matching question was it 01:19.230 --> 01:24.360 a little bit different because imagine question and usually have to look for does one word to water 01:24.360 --> 01:25.380 to work. 01:25.380 --> 01:28.910 Proper nouns have Everywhere you see it and then find the match. 01:28.920 --> 01:32.460 So it's very very similar to a matching question. 01:32.540 --> 01:33.390 It's a little bit different. 01:33.390 --> 01:35.120 So let's go through with it. 01:35.130 --> 01:41.580 I'm going to go through this one with you and we'll see I'll work so if we're looking at our questions 01:41.580 --> 01:44.530 here seven eight and nine. 01:44.670 --> 01:48.170 Number seven is going to be easy to find because of the word Texas. 01:48.360 --> 01:52.920 And number eight going to be easy to find because of the word citizens and the word Vermont. 01:52.980 --> 01:57.330 Number nine has the word Internet now in general. 01:57.540 --> 01:57.990 Right. 01:57.990 --> 02:02.300 In general most of the time was a complete decentest question and goes in order. 02:02.490 --> 02:05.790 Most of the time but it's possible that sometimes it won't. 02:05.790 --> 02:12.750 I've seen it sometimes not go in order but I'll probably say the vast majority of the time your complete 02:12.870 --> 02:14.670 sentence question goes in order. 02:14.790 --> 02:19.290 So that means that after Number Seven we'll find number eight and after Number eight we'll find number 02:19.290 --> 02:19.940 nine. 02:20.160 --> 02:22.180 So let's see if this one lines up that way. 02:22.240 --> 02:29.060 But first we're looking for Texas. 02:29.250 --> 02:30.990 And we are scanning 02:44.080 --> 02:46.060 if you'd notice. 02:46.480 --> 02:49.160 You know I didn't read the passage before going into the question. 02:49.160 --> 02:54.970 You don't have to do that because the questions tell you really what you need to scan for and look. 02:54.970 --> 02:56.190 All right so here it is right here. 02:56.200 --> 02:57.290 Texas. 02:57.540 --> 03:04.560 OK is right here and we are in the 1 2 3 4 4th paragraph. 03:04.960 --> 03:12.580 And for those of you who want to work along with us this is this test is from the 2014 eight practice 03:12.580 --> 03:16.230 test and I believe this is the reading passage from Test number three. 03:16.330 --> 03:20.170 OK so let's have a look at what it says. 03:20.320 --> 03:23.210 It says Miller visited a Texas gas company. 03:23.230 --> 03:24.940 I'm reading right here. 03:25.180 --> 03:33.340 Miller visited a Texas gas company that has successfully applied formulas based on an Culdee behavior 03:33.820 --> 03:37.900 to optimize his factories and route its trucks. 03:37.900 --> 03:40.590 OK so I'll read it again. 03:40.630 --> 03:43.030 Miller visited a Texas gas company. 03:43.030 --> 03:44.200 We know this dissent is cool. 03:44.190 --> 03:47.370 We see Texas gas company and that's what was in our question. 03:47.830 --> 03:55.360 Miller visited a Texas gas company that successfully applied formulas based on ant colony behavior to 03:55.360 --> 03:57.840 optimize its factories and his trucks. 03:57.850 --> 04:00.640 Optimize means make better make much better. 04:01.060 --> 04:08.170 So he visited he visited a Texas gas company apply for formulas based on their colony behavior to optimize 04:08.170 --> 04:12.390 his factories and Route his trucks told to find a match for that information. 04:16.870 --> 04:19.670 Provide support for each other's ideas. 04:19.690 --> 04:23.010 No we're not talking about two people here. 04:23.190 --> 04:26.850 Use detail commis to grow large and complicated systems. 04:27.120 --> 04:33.430 Nope there was nothing there about comments he said that he looked at formulas and Colony behavior to 04:33.430 --> 04:35.140 optimize this fact to reason better. 04:35.140 --> 04:41.230 His roots use decision making strategies based on the inside communities to improve their service. 04:41.220 --> 04:43.340 That's our answer right there right. 04:43.380 --> 04:49.930 We could see again what makes it what makes us a challenge is that it use a synonym late which we see 04:49.930 --> 04:56.480 is our correct answer because the sentence says it looked at formulas for ant colony behavior. 04:56.670 --> 05:03.160 The synonym for use decision making strategies based on encik communities that synonym lame which improve 05:03.160 --> 05:10.750 their service is synonym for optimize their factories and root for its trucks right sit in their language 05:10.750 --> 05:11.790 everyone. 05:11.890 --> 05:14.800 That's the key thing synonym late. 05:14.830 --> 05:21.180 So the correct answer for number 7 is C C like had a good number 8. 05:21.190 --> 05:26.470 We're looking for Vermont and something about citizens. 05:26.710 --> 05:33.600 All I know when I'm doing a sit this completion question I'm going to assume that it goes in order because 05:33.600 --> 05:37.160 probably 80 or 90 percent of the time that's what this question does. 05:37.250 --> 05:45.220 So I'm looking for citizens in Vermont. 05:45.510 --> 05:54.320 I see it here we go citizens in Vermont right here it's in the first full paragraph on this page. 05:54.330 --> 05:56.370 Citizens in Vermont. 05:59.210 --> 06:01.350 All right so read what it says. 06:01.520 --> 06:10.190 Citizens in Vermont control their municipal affairs by putting forward proposals or backing up other 06:10.190 --> 06:14.960 suggestions until a consensus is reached through a vote. 06:15.030 --> 06:23.060 Okay citizens ever might control their individual affairs by putting forward proposals so they control 06:23.060 --> 06:29.930 their affairs by putting forth proposals or backing up other suggestions until a consensus is reached 06:29.930 --> 06:30.970 the revolt. 06:30.970 --> 06:34.960 Now I'm just going to read that sentence and try to find the answer. 06:34.990 --> 06:40.450 The one of the biggest mistakes is so many of you make so many of you make one of the biggest mistakes 06:40.450 --> 06:43.710 that somebody you make is that you read too much. 06:43.820 --> 06:48.180 You said I was going to read the whole paragraph and just go read three or four sentences. 06:48.250 --> 06:54.770 No you're taking it and you're trying to apply too much information to an answer that's coming from 06:54.770 --> 06:56.230 one sentence. 06:56.580 --> 07:02.480 OK that's one of the biggest mistakes that you make that makes you get so many answers wrong and also 07:02.480 --> 07:04.050 that take so much of your time. 07:04.250 --> 07:08.480 So you can't do that all right so one more time. 07:08.480 --> 07:13.880 Citizens of Vermont control their greenhouse warfares by putting forward proposals or backing up other 07:13.880 --> 07:17.400 suggestions until a consensus is reached through a vote. 07:23.300 --> 07:25.890 Was there and the correct answer is a. 07:26.010 --> 07:31.090 Provide support for each other's ideas in order to reach the best outcome. 07:31.160 --> 07:38.250 So I say they put your proposals back up others ideas in order to reach a consensus. 07:38.340 --> 07:43.800 The same thing is choice a in terms of using synonym language. 07:43.800 --> 07:44.830 B is wrong. 07:44.820 --> 07:47.970 There's nothing about comments or complicated systems. 07:48.050 --> 07:54.750 D c is c c we can't use real we we brought you c communicate with each other and decide who the leader 07:54.750 --> 07:55.080 will be. 07:55.080 --> 08:01.770 There's nothing about a leader should be independent to the ideas of others that they do not know nothing 08:01.770 --> 08:02.810 about that. 08:02.820 --> 08:05.360 So you see correct answer is A. 08:05.700 --> 08:07.580 Provide support for each other's ideas. 08:07.610 --> 08:14.370 Synonym for backing up other people's suggestions and reaching a consensus is a synonym for reaching 08:14.370 --> 08:15.590 the best outcome. 08:15.690 --> 08:20.100 So choice is our correct answers so I hope you see how this works. 08:20.100 --> 08:26.670 It works by being able to find the sentence read it and then find a synonym match. 08:26.780 --> 08:29.560 You have to find a synonym match that's what it's about. 08:29.870 --> 08:33.160 It's about your ability to find synonym matches. 08:33.800 --> 08:38.800 OK so let's go ahead and move on to question number nine. 08:39.260 --> 08:41.380 And with question number 9. 08:41.420 --> 08:47.740 I'm actually going to go ahead and use a highlighter for this question. 08:47.790 --> 08:56.350 See right here for a question number nine right here it says some Internet users right. 08:56.710 --> 09:00.590 This is something you are using their Internet users right here for Bush number 9 so I have to find 09:00.590 --> 09:01.790 a sentence. 09:01.880 --> 09:09.280 This is some Internet users and we know that it goes in order Ragg we know it goes in order. 09:09.530 --> 09:11.840 So actually let me make it a little bit bigger. 09:12.710 --> 09:13.670 Would not that be. 09:13.740 --> 09:14.050 Wow 09:16.860 --> 09:18.780 make it this big. 09:18.810 --> 09:19.590 All right. 09:19.770 --> 09:29.130 So if we remember everything right here right here right here was where says Miller visited a Texas 09:29.130 --> 09:32.830 gas company where Miller visited Texas gas company. 09:32.850 --> 09:36.240 That was that was number seven. 09:36.720 --> 09:45.360 And then when we moved down here into the second page and it talked about the Vermont senators that's 09:45.360 --> 09:46.530 where we found Number eight. 09:46.590 --> 09:48.680 So we know who's going in order here. 09:48.900 --> 09:56.280 And then when we get down here for number nine here we are right here dealing with the situation where 09:56.280 --> 10:04.840 we see where is the Internet the Internet. 10:05.340 --> 10:11.610 Says the Internet is also an area where we are increasingly exhibiting swarm behavior without any physical 10:11.610 --> 10:13.390 contact. 10:13.430 --> 10:18.370 Right we are increasingly exhibiting swarm behavior without any physical contact. 10:18.420 --> 10:19.140 OK. 10:19.560 --> 10:23.080 And then says Miller comperes. 10:23.100 --> 10:27.680 So we have an example here we have an example in his next sentence. 10:27.720 --> 10:35.070 So whatever you see whenever you see someone giving you an example of something in the previous sentence 10:35.580 --> 10:42.420 you want to pay really really particular attention to that example because that example is about to 10:42.420 --> 10:45.630 give you an explanation of what they're talking about here. 10:45.780 --> 10:46.110 Right. 10:46.110 --> 10:51.930 So it says Miller compares it with the Web site for example to a termite mound where we're looking at 10:51.930 --> 10:52.420 right here 10:55.960 --> 10:58.280 compares it to a term my mouth. 10:58.880 --> 11:09.090 Indirect collaboration is the key principle behind sharing Web sites just as it underlies complex constructions 11:09.930 --> 11:13.730 that termites build. 11:13.830 --> 11:15.420 So he's comparing it. 11:15.570 --> 11:15.870 Right. 11:15.870 --> 11:16.430 So here we are. 11:16.430 --> 11:20.660 So here we're dealing with a starting point situation. 11:20.820 --> 11:23.540 We have the key word language from the question the Internet. 11:23.880 --> 11:24.480 Right. 11:24.720 --> 11:29.040 And it says the Internet is an area where we are increasingly exhibiting swarm behavior without any 11:29.040 --> 11:31.180 physical contact. 11:31.470 --> 11:31.800 Right. 11:31.800 --> 11:39.630 So when we look down at our answer choices down here without any physical contact you have to be careful 11:39.630 --> 11:44.270 with choice f choice f is very very tricky right. 11:44.580 --> 11:49.080 Because choice is without directly communicating with each other. 11:49.110 --> 11:56.070 So what it says without directly communicating with each other they actually gave them language for 11:56.400 --> 11:59.290 without any physical contact. 11:59.370 --> 11:59.790 Right. 11:59.880 --> 12:01.630 Without physical contact. 12:01.770 --> 12:03.050 So they're not. 12:03.180 --> 12:06.830 Somebody could take that language and look at them as being sort of numb language. 12:07.080 --> 12:12.010 But there's nothing that says about repairing structures they have built. 12:12.030 --> 12:15.430 All right there's nothing that says anything about repairing structures they have built. 12:15.690 --> 12:20.660 So this part right here repairing structures that they have built. 12:20.670 --> 12:25.460 This part right here is what actually 12:30.430 --> 12:35.230 where you have to be careful because that part putting X's under that part where there's repair structures 12:35.230 --> 12:36.470 that have been built. 12:36.820 --> 12:37.230 Right. 12:37.270 --> 12:39.520 There's nothing about look at it here. 12:39.970 --> 12:40.550 OK. 12:40.690 --> 12:47.770 And when I first did this question I made a mistake in actually doing this question because I got tricked 12:47.770 --> 12:49.930 by the keyword language. 12:49.960 --> 12:51.550 OK. 12:52.750 --> 12:57.130 And so when you look at it says The internet is also an area where we are increasingly exhibiting swarm 12:57.130 --> 12:59.720 behavior without any physical contact. 12:59.950 --> 13:05.470 But really what you should pay attention to and what I should pay attention to that for the first time 13:05.860 --> 13:09.450 was we had a second sentence that is an example. 13:09.640 --> 13:13.330 And whenever you see an example somebody giving an example. 13:13.510 --> 13:13.840 Right. 13:13.840 --> 13:17.560 That means they're about to explaining something in their previous sentence. 13:17.560 --> 13:22.090 That's a really key sentence and that's where your answers coming from. 13:22.150 --> 13:28.510 When you have a sentence completion situation sometimes you can have a situation where what they're 13:28.510 --> 13:33.640 doing is they're going to take two sentences and take the information of it taking information from 13:33.640 --> 13:37.200 those two sentences and combine them into one sentence. 13:37.300 --> 13:39.250 And that's what we're doing here. 13:39.490 --> 13:43.870 We're taking information from two sentences the first sentence whereas here is the Internet and the 13:43.870 --> 13:45.940 second sentence where you see the example. 13:46.080 --> 13:49.870 We're combining them into one sentence when we're doing this sentence completion. 13:49.870 --> 13:55.810 So Miller compares a Wiki Web site for example to a term by mail on indirect collaboration is the key 13:55.810 --> 14:02.110 principle behind the information sharing Web sites indirect communication indirect collaboration is 14:02.110 --> 14:05.170 the key. 14:05.180 --> 14:13.720 All right so so here look we're here contribute indirectly in direct 14:18.780 --> 14:20.700 communication. 14:29.100 --> 14:37.180 Indirect is key to the ideas of others they do not know to the ideas of others they do not know. 14:40.080 --> 14:40.350 Right. 14:40.360 --> 14:42.000 And that comes right here. 14:42.130 --> 14:45.850 Well that's where we have the without any physical contact. 14:45.850 --> 14:46.610 Right. 14:47.040 --> 14:49.800 Without any physical contact. 14:49.800 --> 14:50.810 All right. 14:51.460 --> 14:55.550 So contribute independently to the ideas of others they do not know. 14:56.080 --> 14:57.020 OK. 14:57.640 --> 14:59.860 They have no direct physical contact 15:04.110 --> 15:10.290 Miller comperes a Web site for example to a termite mound indirect collaboration is the key principle 15:10.290 --> 15:15.960 behind the information sharing Web sites just as it is underlies the complex constructions that termites 15:15.960 --> 15:17.160 build. 15:17.970 --> 15:19.040 OK. 15:19.140 --> 15:19.500 All right. 15:19.500 --> 15:25.260 So really we take that information from the first sentence then information from the second sentence 15:25.690 --> 15:26.320 right there. 15:26.340 --> 15:31.560 We have the internet without any physical contact. 15:31.560 --> 15:31.830 Right. 15:31.830 --> 15:35.580 It tells us there is indirect collaboration. 15:35.580 --> 15:42.360 All right so we're talking about what we're talking about is contributing independently to the ideas 15:42.360 --> 15:42.840 of others. 15:42.840 --> 15:44.260 They do not know. 15:44.880 --> 15:45.240 All right. 15:45.270 --> 15:47.410 That's what some Internet users are doing. 15:47.570 --> 15:53.560 And when we take those first sentences we should get the correct answer is right here. 15:53.730 --> 15:59.300 This is the correct answer is e right. 15:59.490 --> 16:01.060 Correct answer answers. 16:01.710 --> 16:02.280 OK. 16:02.610 --> 16:04.540 All right so thank you very much. 16:04.650 --> 16:08.430 And thank you very much for watching this video. 16:08.430 --> 16:14.250 About the sentence completion and I hope it was very helpful for you. 16:14.250 --> 16:16.710 I look forward to continuing to guide you along the way. 16:16.890 --> 16:22.230 And thank you to all my students who are always checking behind me and making sure that I'm doing things 16:22.230 --> 16:26.630 correctly and I hope that this has been helpful to you. 16:26.640 --> 16:28.220 I look forward to continue teaching you. 16:28.230 --> 16:30.240 Thank you very much and I'll talk to you soon. 16:30.250 --> 16:30.430 Bye.
