WEBVTT 00:05.530 --> 00:12.400 OK so let's begin by taking a look at the fill in the blank questions in terms of questions strategy 00:13.120 --> 00:18.460 you fill in the blank question is a typical type of question and you're going to get files reading comprehension. 00:18.460 --> 00:23.290 You definitely will have this question and one or two of your reading passages. 00:23.290 --> 00:27.030 So it's really important that you know how to do this Question Time. 00:27.030 --> 00:27.570 All right. 00:27.970 --> 00:34.060 So the fill in the blank question will require you to write in words one or two words from the sentence 00:34.060 --> 00:37.120 in the passage that goes on the blank line. 00:37.120 --> 00:43.120 Normally the way it works is the correct answer choice is going to connect with the words that are right 00:43.120 --> 00:47.480 before the blank line or the words that are right after the blank line. 00:47.680 --> 00:54.970 So it is really important to be aware of those words when you are trying to do this question. 00:55.270 --> 00:58.750 Fill in the blank questionnaire focuses on two types of things. 00:58.900 --> 01:05.830 Your ability to scan and locate the sentence The question comes from and also synonym recognition of 01:05.830 --> 01:11.470 the words that come before or after the blank line because that's what branch is going to connect to. 01:11.590 --> 01:16.890 And when I go through a couple of examples I think you're going to understand this a little bit better 01:16.900 --> 01:24.420 in terms of doing it right this is what a typical fill in the blank question will look like. 01:24.820 --> 01:31.960 And we're going to be going over this question a little bit later on in terms of our basic strategy 01:31.960 --> 01:34.480 when it comes to the field of play in question. 01:34.480 --> 01:40.110 Understand that this question and goals in order that's really important to know who goes in order. 01:40.120 --> 01:45.910 That means that after number one you'll find number two after number two you'll find number three. 01:45.970 --> 01:49.770 Number three is located in between number two and number four. 01:49.780 --> 01:52.000 So it goes in order. 01:52.220 --> 01:52.910 All right. 01:53.170 --> 01:59.740 And it's a really good strategy when you have the question sets within a reading passage to go in order 02:00.250 --> 02:07.230 to do those first because they're going to be faster to do and they're going to be easier to do. 02:08.470 --> 02:13.960 Also with your reading comprehension question the answer is going to come from this sentence in the 02:13.960 --> 02:17.800 passage that master it matches the key words in the question. 02:18.070 --> 02:22.290 It will be just from this sentence probably about 95 percent of the time. 02:22.300 --> 02:23.040 All right. 02:23.260 --> 02:30.470 And keep in mind that is an English test so very often the key words from the question they may use 02:30.480 --> 02:35.370 synonyms when you're talking about the passage itself. 02:35.410 --> 02:42.530 So in terms of our steps for doing this question for fill in the blank you want to number one. 02:42.530 --> 02:49.630 This is the first thing really really important first thing is to look at the questions and decide which 02:49.630 --> 02:54.200 of the questions in the field of play are easiest to do first. 02:54.280 --> 02:59.420 What I mean by that is for example Number two my have somebody whose name at it. 02:59.640 --> 03:02.300 And number four might have a date at it. 03:02.440 --> 03:06.720 So number two and number four might be the easiest ones to do first. 03:06.730 --> 03:13.200 So when you're doing these questions you might do number two first and then to number four afterwards. 03:13.210 --> 03:18.880 The reason why you would do that is number one you can scan and find where the answer is faster. 03:19.030 --> 03:24.280 And also because you know this question goes in order if you find number two number quick if you find 03:24.280 --> 03:28.380 Number two very quickly you know number one comes right before that. 03:28.510 --> 03:33.940 And if you know where Number four is you know read three is right before that and after number two. 03:34.240 --> 03:40.630 So you want to make sure that you do the questions that are easiest to do within a fill in the blank 03:40.630 --> 03:41.300 question. 03:41.290 --> 03:46.370 Set first right do the ones that are easiest to do first. 03:46.660 --> 03:47.810 Correct. 03:48.040 --> 03:52.320 Then the ritual you have to look at the question and choose the key words from the question. 03:53.050 --> 03:56.240 Normally that will be our subject verb object. 03:56.260 --> 03:57.240 All right. 03:57.820 --> 04:00.080 And there's that number three. 04:00.400 --> 04:07.770 You want to scan and locate those keywords for that question in the passage and then afterwards read. 04:07.780 --> 04:13.180 Read that sentence and then quickly look at the question in and particular look at the words that come 04:13.180 --> 04:15.370 before and after the blank line. 04:15.370 --> 04:21.220 Look at that sentence in the passage where you have the question look at that sentence locate the words 04:21.220 --> 04:26.110 that come before before or after the blank line into the question and then you'll always know where 04:26.110 --> 04:27.450 the answer is. 04:27.610 --> 04:30.390 You will always know what the answer is. 04:30.700 --> 04:36.880 If you can find the correct sentence in the passage and the key words from the question that are before 04:36.880 --> 04:42.710 or after the blank line you will always be able to find the answer for a feel of the blank question. 04:43.120 --> 04:48.670 And like I say it will become more clear for you when we go through the examples and you see exactly 04:48.670 --> 04:50.770 what I'm doing and how I do it. 04:50.770 --> 04:56.070 And then you can do the same thing for the exam to fill the blank questions. 04:56.080 --> 05:02.800 Are some of the easiest questions to do and you should definitely do these questions first in your set 05:02.800 --> 05:06.180 for a particular reading passage question set. 05:06.430 --> 05:06.940 So.
