OK.
So let's look at our second example of doing a sentence completion question.
All right so by now you already know the strategy for this question and you know that for the most part
this question will always go in order which is very important to understand and know this question will
always go on in order in terms of our in terms of our Cintas completion.
QUESTION Not always but probably most of the time.
And we have to look at the question look at the keywords of the question find the set were those keywords
are coming from.
Read that's it does understand it and then pick the answer choice has a synonym language match.
OK.
That's the challenge.
Can you find.
Can you understand.
Can you pick a synonym match.
So that's what we're looking at when we're talking about a sentence completion question OK so take a
look at it this is test number four.
And this is actually from Cambridge I'll book seven.
As I've told you before think the Cambridge books are the best books to practice from and to learn from.
If I were you I would definitely practice with books probably starting with book no later than book
5 and working your way up to become routine.
But they don't.
The books are the best books to use.
I don't get paid by Cambridge.
I'm just making my recommendation because they're the ones that help design the Isles exam.
So they have the best material and it's the material I use to teach.
You can practice along with me and the strategies that I teach are based on the proper practice exams
and that's why they work on the real exam.
OK.
And any good instructor or as teacher will tell you the same thing they're going to recommend that these
books that you use are.
So take a look at our sentence completion question and that's a true false given question.
But we're not doing that right now.
This is actually pretty good TRUE FALSE don't give be given question.
OK let's take a look at our center's completion.
Here we go.
So we have 21 22 23 24 25 26.
All right.
And here we have a lot of choices A B C D F G H I J K A lot of choices are I lot of choices but you
know we have some good questions that we can use.
Number 22 and 21 have the word biologist's which is going to be easy to find.
23 is also easy to find.
Actually all of these are pretty easy to find.
They're not making it difficult.
Marine Stewardship Council MSCE has can be easy to find.
CS an abundance based management is going to be easy to find.
Keep in mind sometime something to note here sometimes when you see like a number 23 season abundance
based management in the reading passage they'll have the acronym for it.
So you might see something like as a b or something like that so people will be aware of that.
Just like here you see Marine Stewardship Council in the past you might see that or you might just see
MSEE.
All right.
25 is really easy because in 1999 in 2006 because of the year because it has a year September 2000.
So we should be able to find these.
And like I told you before in general this sentence completion question will go in order.
In general will go in order.
But you have to be aware that I have seen it sometimes not do that.
So that's why I don't put this question in the category of always going on.
All right so let's do it together.
So for some look for something about biologist's
biologist adult fish and what I'm doing here.
Everyone does it you know I'm actually scanning through the passage and I'm looking for information
about biologists and adult fish.
Here we go.
All right.
Biologists
biologist.
There we go.
So this is where we are.
This is our starting point.
Actually here is MSCE right here so we can see we can see that question also hears him as I see right
here.
So we could see that one
and we see sees in abundance based management but that's not going to be that for that question because
this question is actually I can see this question is actually going in order just from what I've seen
so far as going in order.
All right so let's go ahead and take a look at the question.
First question again and then this go through it together.
So I can help you out with understanding how to do a set to completion question.
OK.
So it says in Alaska biologists keep a check on adult fish and then we need we need the rest of the
sentence right.
That's what we're looking for we're looking for the rest of the sentence.
So we have to read this sentence.
We're just talking about biologists and checking and then read that sentence and then look at the answer
choices down here and see which answer choice has the missing information from the rest of this sentence.
All right.
That's what we're looking for.
All right.
So this is how I really understand this question.
Here we have the word biologists together and then down here we have the word biologists also.
So I'm going to assume that these these first two sentences together are for that first sentence about
biologists and then the second sentence down others that disturbance is with the word biologist.
This is for the next question about biologists.
All right.
So there are biologists starting right here in the second sentence.
There are biologists throughout the state constantly monitoring adult fish as they show up to spawn.
All right.
So here we have our star there they're constantly monitoring adult fish as they show up to spawn spawn
means to get born.
The biologist sit in stream side counting towers study sonar watch from airplanes and talk to fishermen.
All right.
You're constantly monitoring adult fish as they show up to spawn.
They sit in streams counting towers studies sonar and watch them airplanes that talk to fishermen.
All right so we have to find a match for that information.
To recognize fisheries or care for the environment no to be successful to stop fish from spawning to
certain environmental laws to now just make the mistake and pig see because they see the word spawn.
Right.
Well see is a trap answer right because that is that sentence that sentence says nothing about stopping
them from spawning.
Right.
If you look at it it says nothing about stopping them from spawning.
So that's the kind of question.
That's the kind of answer choice that a lot of students pick and get it wrong because what they do is
they said.
Ooh there's the same word.
See the word spawn and see the word spawn.
I'm going to pick that answer.
Don't fall for that trap.
OK.
They they set up those traps for students that don't know English.
All right.
Because students don't know English pick their answers with the same words.
Says they monitor adult fish as a shock to spawn.
OK.
And they look at them through counting towers
so see is wrong is wrong there's nothing but environmental laws stopping people.
Nothing about labels.
Here's a guy right here to ensure the fish numbers are sufficient to permit free fishing.
We look at those two sentences together.
It says that they're monitoring them as they spawn and they're sitting at counting towers right there
sitting and counting towers that is sitting up there or counting fish.
They're counting fish that's what they're doing counting fish.
So G is the synonym match for that particular answer is correct answer there because there I get it
again like the previous question you have to be able to pick a synonym match when you're doing this
question have to you have to pick a senator to match when you're doing it right.
No.
No question.
Biologists have the authority.
All right so here's our other centers with biologists.
All right.
So start the beginning of this set with the the fishermen know the approximate time of year when they
will be allowed to fish.
But on any given day one or more field biologists in a particular area can put a halt to fishing.
So this is a biologist could put a halt to fishing.
So we know this answer already the correct answer is going to be.
We saw it already when I went over it.
They can stop people fishing for sport.
Right.
They could put a halt to fishing.
So the correct answer 22 is e.
Now 23 we see season abundance management.
But we look and we're looking for a sentence.
That whole paragraph is about season about this season abundance management because those words seasonal
blunders management are in the first sentence of the paragraph.
So that's what the entire paragraph is about.
OK.
So when I'm looking for this question I'm looking for is the matching set to this question.
I'm not looking for a season or just management.
All right I'm looking for a set just dealing with Alaskan salvage fisheries sees an abundance management
has allowed Alaska Salmond fisheries to do what.
Understand that right.
I'm not looking for an abundance management because season abundance management that's in the first
sentence.
I've always seen in the first two questions are going in order.
Right.
But this when you see this in the first set that just means that this whole paragraph is about that
topic because the first it of a body paragraph is called a topic sentence a topic sentence explains
what the paragraph is about.
OK so here we are Salminen fisheries right there.
Right right here you see it at the end of the paragraph Alaskas Salmond fisheries this is my matching
sentence that we can see.
Next question will come from the centers are the centers that starts with MSCE.
All right.
It is this management mechanism that has allowed Alaskas Salmond's stocks and accordingly Alaska salmon
fisheries to prosper.
All right.
Even It says this management mechanism so that's talking about season abundance management and right
so we have the language right there and this management mechanism that does allow Alaska salmon stocks
and of course the Alaska salmon fisheries to prosper even as salmon populations in the rest of the United
States are increasingly considered threatened or even endangered.
So this management has allowed the Alaskan fisheries to prosper.
Right.
That's what it's done it's allowed them to prosper and to write or be successful to prosper is synonym
for to be successful again.
Pick an answer was in late which pick an answer was didn't have language.
That's the key thing a really comprehension.
That's the key thing for listening comprehension.
You must pick an answer that uses synonym language.
OK.
Now let's go ahead and move two questions.
Number 24 25 26.
We're doing a sentence completion number are doing a sentence completion question.
When it comes to looking at question number 24 It says the marine store ship Council was established
the Marine the marine store ship Council was established.
Was here and use a highlighter.
All right we're right here.
And this one is really going to be straightforward because we have MSCE right in terms of the key we're
language for number 25.
Well look this was really critical right here what did the state decide right what did the state decide
we need some kind of language to tell us about this.
They decided and for this one we have a really English easy English easy English language.
September 2000 and the embassy.
OK so 24 25 and 26.
As I said earlier we know this question is going in order.
This question is going in order most of most of the time it does.
I would say probably 90 percent of the time it does.
I've seen one or two occasions where it did not.
But here it is going in order.
So let's look at number 24 in terms of the language
right here right here was number 23.
We remember where we left off right here was 23 right and right here we see our language we're looking
for about the chemist see right there is the embassy.
Now the question go back to the question because this is important.
Go back and look at the question.
All right the Marine Stewardship Council was established.
OK.
It was established so why.
Why was it established.
OK.
Why was it established.
OK what was the reason why it was actually established.
So if we find that language then we'll find our answer that we're looking for.
Right.
So here is number 24 is this right.
Here is what we're looking at here is number 24
the Marine Stewardship Council commission a review of the Alaska salmon fishery.
All right nothing in there about synonym for established the Council was founded.
Here's our language
was found right.
What it says was founded.
That's the same as saying was established.
That's our language we're looking for.
That means that our choice for number 24 is coming in this sentence right here.
That's where our answer is going to come from.
Right so what does this say the council was founded in 1996 certifies fisheries to meet high environmental
standards and they will them to use the label they recognize as their environment responsibility.
All right.
So as a certified fisheries so they can actually get a label right.
That's what it says in there.
And in a short way of saying it is certified fisheries so that they're able to use the label they recognize
their responsibility.
All we have to do is find an answer choice that matches that link which
certifies fisheries so they can get a label.
All right.
Be careful be careful that you don't pig choice.
F choice essays so that they label their products using the MSCE logo.
All right but it says they're certified right.
They weren't established to label products that's not what they were doing.
Right.
They were not established a label.
They were recognized sending them language to recognize fisheries they care for the environment.
OK that's what they were doing to recognize fisheries that care for the environment.
So number 24 number 24 is actually a to recognize fisheries that care for the environment.
Look at it
to recognize fisheries they care for the environment
and as scene was established to recognize fisheries to care for the environment the council was founded
excuse me the council was founded about or was established to certify fisheries to meet the high environmental
standards.
That's why it was created to certify fisheries that meet the high environmental standards which enable
them to use the label.
All right.
That's what they enable them to do.
But why were they established.
Why were they founded.
They were founded to be able to do certification Rye for fisheries to meet the high environmental standards.
Synonym recognized fisheries they care for the environment care for the environment fisheries to meet
high environmental standards that are sending them language match.
OK.
That's our synonym language match.
I hope you see that.
Now for number 25
as a result of the collapse of the salmon runs in 1999 the state decided.
So now I need to scan as a result of the collapse of the salmon runs in 1999 as a result of the really
really great year.
And you know something really great there.
1999
right.
But we're going to point me to my hands everybody is really critical and point me to my answer is What
did the state decide.
All right.
So it might be possible that I might find a sentence that has 1999.
But when I look in that sentence if I don't see anything that the state decided I have to go ahead and
scan for a fourth sentence after that that talks about what the state decided.
So you always want to be aware of that or be careful about that.
It's first I'm looking for 1999 There's 2000
years 2000 so it has to come before it has to come before this paragraph.
Here's 1996
here's the word statehood.
But that's not anything about a state deciding anything.
All right so I see the language first state decided actually actually the language for state decided
right.
So this was talking about the crisis right here talking about the crisis.
All right.
And we're just talking about the crisis right now as a result of the collapse
you don't know where they got 1999 from actually.
All right.
But I'm not going to worry about it because I see the link.
I know this is talking about the collapse the crisis.
OK that's that's because that's the language right there.
That means that we're right here.
I see the language.
This is what they decide it's right here the state reacted quickly.
All right.
The state reacted quickly.
The them for the state decided right.
What did the state decide.
The state decided to stay redirected quickly.
However the state reacted quickly closing down all fisheries even those necessary for some students.
So they reacted quickly and they closed things down.
I would answer choice matches.
They closed down all the history all all the fisheries right.
They closed down all the fisheries so the correct answer for this one everybody is OK.
Games are hands are here 24 is a 25 is K.
All right.
So 25 is right here.
That means 26 will come after that and here it is right here for 26:26 is right here I can see the line
which already is really good if you're able to keep language in your head.
It really helps because you all times you have language in your head and you can really see the language
right.
There's 26 right there.
Right so I'm 26 going down to 26.
It says in September 2000 the MSCE allowed seven companies to do what they allowed seven companies to
do what what do they allow seven companies to do.
They allow them to do what.
In September 2008 Missee announced that the Alaska salmon fisheries qualified for certification seven
companies producing Alaska.
Right here it is telling us what to do.
It's telling us again we're dealing with it we're dealing with a situation where they're taking two
sentences and combining them into one sentence.
All right the first part the part in the very first part of the question is coming from this sentence
here.
And the second part in the box is coming from this sentence here.
These seven companies producing Alaska Salmen were immediately granted permission to display the MSCE
logo.
So that's all they were able to do.
They were able to display the logo.
All right.
That's what the seven companies were able to do.
They were able to display the logo.
So that is the one 26 is actually APH to label their products using the logo.
That's what they were able to do.
They were able to display the logo.
So that is if they were able to display the logo.
All right.
Aka.
You know the review number 21 was the number 22 was he in number 23 was or is the
OK.
All right.
So I hope that this was very helpful for you to now understand how to do.
Hey now.
Now you should understand how to do a sentence completion question because you have to be careful because
when you look at these questions like 21 22 23 24 25 26.
These are coming from one sentence and then very often what's in the box could be coming from a second
sentence.
So you've got to be aware of that and also be aware of very often you might have to pick sending them
language don't try sometimes you might see the same language as an answer but don't choose an answer
just because you see the same language.
Make sure it's said accurately.
Because really for the iOS exam they really love using synonym language because that's a test of English.
OK.
So I hope this has been helpful to you.
I really enjoy teaching you.
And please continue to follow the lectures and we look forward to taking you along on this journey to
your success.
Thanks a lot.
And I'll talk to you soon.
