WEBVTT 00:01.320 --> 00:02.150 OK everyone. 00:02.160 --> 00:11.310 So let's go ahead and go through with how to do a matching question and we're looking at reading passage 00:11.310 --> 00:11.670 one. 00:11.670 --> 00:18.720 This is from the Cambridge Book Number 8 which again is one of the books that I teach from what I teach 00:18.720 --> 00:24.890 my classes and it's one of the books and I'm using to teach this online class to you. 00:25.230 --> 00:31.260 I encourage you to go out and get the book because you can't get the book from this course. 00:31.260 --> 00:39.840 You have to go out and get the book on your own you know and I encourage you to go get it because it's 00:39.840 --> 00:41.140 very good. 00:41.250 --> 00:42.800 There are the best books to use. 00:42.840 --> 00:45.950 So that's what I recommend. 00:45.950 --> 00:47.030 All right. 00:47.080 --> 00:50.860 All right so we're doing a matching question as I told you earlier. 00:51.660 --> 00:58.690 As I told you earlier with a matching question what do you have to do with the matching question is 00:58.710 --> 01:08.790 you are you have to look at the words in a box and then pick which one of the which one of the questions 01:08.790 --> 01:13.950 matches the language that is found for that for that word in the box. 01:13.980 --> 01:19.390 So it's a very it's a very easy to easy question understand in terms of strategy. 01:19.560 --> 01:27.000 The biggest challenge is you have to read this sentence in the passage and then find the parallels that 01:27.000 --> 01:29.010 are no match to one of the questions. 01:29.010 --> 01:32.540 So that's the that's the real challenge. 01:32.570 --> 01:35.200 It's the same two things over and over and over again. 01:35.520 --> 01:39.880 Finding loci in the sentence understanding it picked a synonym match. 01:39.990 --> 01:40.620 OK. 01:40.710 --> 01:44.490 That's the same thing that they're testing over and over and over again. 01:44.820 --> 01:49.380 And that's what you have to be aware of when it comes to doing its reading comprehension. 01:53.410 --> 01:53.780 OK. 01:53.800 --> 02:00.160 So now if you notice with this set of questions as interest article I'm going to go off on a little 02:00.160 --> 02:01.400 sidebar. 02:01.480 --> 02:07.180 You see the first set of questions here is a paragraph location question is which are the which is which 02:07.180 --> 02:12.300 paragraph contains the following information like 1 2 3 4. 02:12.310 --> 02:16.140 So this question appears first just before the match in question. 02:16.630 --> 02:22.300 But when I'm doing this I'm not you don't like I've told you you don't do the paragraph location question 02:22.300 --> 02:23.150 first. 02:23.410 --> 02:25.530 OK because it doesn't go in order. 02:25.840 --> 02:31.660 And if you try to try try to do it first you're going to end up reading the whole reading passage and 02:31.660 --> 02:33.080 wasting all your time. 02:33.410 --> 02:34.450 OK. 02:34.930 --> 02:38.140 So we wouldn't do the paragraph location question first. 02:38.140 --> 02:43.870 All right well we what we would do is we look at numbers 1 2 3 and 4 and circle the key words in each 02:43.870 --> 02:51.400 one like timekeeping and cold temperatures explanation of the importance of geography and a calendar 02:51.740 --> 03:01.570 and farming pendulum clock really good and simultaneous efforts to calculate time and uniform hours. 03:01.570 --> 03:07.060 So I would circle those keywords for the paragraph location question and then I will leave it. 03:07.060 --> 03:08.020 Don't do it right now. 03:08.020 --> 03:08.930 Leave it. 03:09.330 --> 03:10.180 OK. 03:10.230 --> 03:12.040 And then you want to do your matching question. 03:12.040 --> 03:13.920 Here's our matching question right here. 03:14.090 --> 03:17.880 And we also have a diagram question. 03:18.130 --> 03:25.060 So if you would if you had a passage like this to have this set of questions paragraph gravel location 03:25.060 --> 03:31.690 matching and diagram do your batching question Do your diagram question as you're doing your matching 03:31.690 --> 03:38.950 on your diagram question look out for those keywords from the questions for the paragraph location because 03:38.950 --> 03:45.010 then is going to make it much easier to come back and do that question much much easier to come back 03:45.010 --> 03:46.290 and do that question. 03:46.450 --> 03:51.370 All right because we went ahead and we circled our key words for each one and then we know what to look 03:51.530 --> 03:51.950 for. 03:52.030 --> 03:52.390 OK. 03:52.410 --> 03:56.190 So let's go ahead and move to our matching question and here we go. 03:56.620 --> 04:03.110 We have four questions five six seven eight and we have six names in the box. 04:03.540 --> 04:04.280 OK. 04:04.390 --> 04:08.250 So that means two of the names don't belong OK. 04:08.250 --> 04:10.820 Two of the names don't belong. 04:10.820 --> 04:12.330 All right. 04:12.810 --> 04:20.940 Now for this one it doesn't tell us that we can use a name more than once. 04:21.510 --> 04:22.410 No it doesn't. 04:22.500 --> 04:25.450 It doesn't say it doesn't when it wouldn't. 04:25.550 --> 04:27.570 If you could use a name more than once. 04:27.570 --> 04:28.840 It will tell you. 04:29.070 --> 04:29.370 OK. 04:29.390 --> 04:31.210 That's how you that's the answer to that question. 04:31.230 --> 04:39.300 So if you could use Babylonians twice if you use a twice you would see in the instructions up here it 04:39.300 --> 04:43.710 would say you may use the letter more than what it would say. 04:44.270 --> 04:45.240 OK. 04:45.600 --> 04:48.050 So because it doesn't say that. 04:48.180 --> 04:52.500 OK the rule is you can't use a name more than once. 04:52.500 --> 04:53.250 All right. 04:53.310 --> 05:01.290 Understand for duty free to use for you to use a letter more than once it has to explicitly say you 05:01.290 --> 05:03.760 have permission and the ability to do so. 05:03.900 --> 05:04.740 All right. 05:04.890 --> 05:09.090 That's that's what that means and that's how we have to interpret that. 05:09.240 --> 05:10.270 OK. 05:10.950 --> 05:14.110 All right so. 05:16.280 --> 05:20.440 So we have we have our our names here Babylonians Egyptians what we have to do. 05:20.550 --> 05:26.850 Go five Babylonians read the sentence where we see Babylonians and then see if the if the information 05:26.850 --> 05:34.230 in the sentence where we see it Babylonians is a match for five six seven or eight and the good thing 05:34.230 --> 05:42.220 is these are the words in a box going to be easy to find proper nouns easy to find. 05:42.300 --> 05:44.970 Well OK here's the Babylonians right here. 05:45.560 --> 05:49.470 And actually as I'm scanning down we see Egyptians right here. 05:49.540 --> 05:50.460 OK. 05:50.900 --> 05:51.160 All right. 05:51.170 --> 05:52.640 So here is Babylonians right here. 05:52.640 --> 05:54.700 Says read the sentence. 05:54.800 --> 05:57.880 Do a quick check to see and see. 05:58.030 --> 06:01.770 We have Egyptians twice. 06:02.000 --> 06:09.120 There's Greeks there as Romans. 06:09.220 --> 06:15.390 There's Germany there's French France there's England. 06:15.560 --> 06:17.710 I see all the names that Elsy Babylonians again. 06:17.750 --> 06:20.480 I know it's going to be this right here. 06:20.480 --> 06:21.040 All right. 06:21.290 --> 06:25.640 So this is a courting I'm starting right here in Paragraph A. 06:25.640 --> 06:26.210 All right. 06:26.360 --> 06:30.270 According to the archaeological evidence at least five thousand years ago. 06:30.460 --> 06:37.520 How long before the advent of the Roman Empire the Babylonians began to measure time introducing calendars 06:37.520 --> 06:43.550 to coordinate communal activities to plan the shipment of goods and in particular to regularly planting 06:43.580 --> 06:46.290 and harvesting. 06:46.380 --> 06:46.730 All right. 06:46.730 --> 06:50.270 So this is the Babylonians right here. 06:50.270 --> 06:57.270 The Babylonians began to measure time introducing calendars to coordinate communal activities. 06:57.650 --> 07:04.850 So they introduced calendars to communicate to coordinate activities to plan the shipment of goods and 07:04.850 --> 07:07.340 in particular to regulate planting and harvesting 07:13.260 --> 07:19.100 so us look and see that's a match for anything they devise a calendar where the months were equal we 07:19.100 --> 07:22.630 saw nothing about being equal divide the day into two equal halves. 07:22.640 --> 07:26.090 Nope they develop a new cabinet shake a time keeper. 07:26.090 --> 07:26.730 Nope. 07:27.080 --> 07:30.240 They created a calendar to organize public events and work schedules. 07:30.410 --> 07:37.220 That's a match that's a match to coordinate community activities. 07:37.260 --> 07:44.500 They're synonym for organizing public events and they were taught about regulating planting and harvesting. 07:44.510 --> 07:49.220 That's the same thing as having a calendar for work schedules. 07:49.220 --> 07:52.530 So number eight We're number eight. 07:52.670 --> 08:00.200 We know that the answer is a so and our answer sheet what our answer sheet we would put the we will 08:00.200 --> 08:03.620 put a as our answer for number eight. 08:03.840 --> 08:13.780 All right so now let's go look and see what it says for Egyptian's. 08:13.980 --> 08:22.700 Here's Egyptian's right here. 08:22.700 --> 08:23.810 All right. 08:24.120 --> 08:33.110 So the Egyptians had formulated here paragraphs the first sentence paragraphs the first sentence. 08:33.110 --> 08:40.460 The Egyptians had formulated a municipal calendar having 12 months of 30 days with five days added to 08:40.460 --> 08:42.350 the approximate solar year. 08:42.350 --> 08:44.450 So they had 12 months of 30 days. 08:44.450 --> 08:51.470 Now if we look at the other sentence with Egyptians It says the cosmic significance the Egyptians placed 08:51.880 --> 08:58.520 in the 12 deacons led them to develop a system in which each interval of Darkness was divided into a 08:58.520 --> 09:00.870 dozen equal parts. 09:00.890 --> 09:03.680 All right so 12 months 30 days. 09:03.680 --> 09:06.650 So they divide it into equal parts. 09:07.920 --> 09:18.130 Then we can see that that is a match for because we saw it earlier they devise a civil calendar in which 09:18.130 --> 09:19.970 the months were equal only. 09:19.980 --> 09:23.140 All right so we're number five on our answer sheet. 09:23.200 --> 09:27.420 We will put a sorry for number five for our answer sheet. 09:27.430 --> 09:30.260 We will put B for Egyptians. 09:30.260 --> 09:36.490 Now keep in mind a reading comprehension you have to put your answers on the answer sheet right away. 09:37.370 --> 09:38.120 OK. 09:38.520 --> 09:38.830 Yes. 09:38.840 --> 09:43.200 With your answers on the answer sheet right away because at the end of reading it's over. 09:43.560 --> 09:46.440 It's not like listening where they give you time. 09:46.560 --> 09:53.280 They give you time afterwards to be able to to mark your answers. 09:53.280 --> 09:54.120 OK. 09:54.240 --> 09:57.000 So mark your answers right away. 09:57.000 --> 09:57.300 All right. 09:57.360 --> 10:04.440 Look at Grieg's. 10:04.780 --> 10:11.710 We already saw all the wants to see temporal hours which were years Greeks right here everyone right 10:11.710 --> 10:12.920 here. 10:12.970 --> 10:20.710 Greeks several hours which were first adopted by the Greeks and then the Romans who disseminated them 10:20.710 --> 10:24.760 through Europe remain in use for more than 25 years. 10:24.760 --> 10:27.670 Typical hours which were first adopted by the Greeks 10:30.310 --> 10:32.360 that I'll say it doesn't matter anything. 10:34.750 --> 10:35.830 Two equal halves. 10:35.850 --> 10:38.010 No new cabinet shape No. 10:38.010 --> 10:39.920 5 is five and eight already gone. 10:39.920 --> 10:44.620 So Greeks Greece is not a match for number six or number seven. 10:52.520 --> 10:53.970 For the Germans 10:56.540 --> 11:06.670 It says the Italian hours begin at sunset Babylonian hours at sunrise astronomical hours at midday and 11:06.670 --> 11:12.080 great clock hours used for some large public clocks in Germany at midnight. 11:12.250 --> 11:14.440 No match for anything. 11:14.440 --> 11:20.980 Eventually these were superceded by small Clott or French hours which split the day into two 12 hour 11:20.980 --> 11:22.920 periods. 11:22.960 --> 11:28.500 All right so the French split the day into two 12 hour periods I think that's a match. 11:28.540 --> 11:30.680 Yeah that's a matter of number six. 11:30.700 --> 11:33.170 They divide the day into two equal halves. 11:33.370 --> 11:37.890 So Germany doesn't match anything but the French. 11:37.900 --> 11:40.010 The correct answer to seven is f.. 11:40.030 --> 11:40.610 I'm sorry. 11:40.780 --> 11:48.850 Correct Answer number 6 is F and then number 7 is going to be English we've seen everybody else develop 11:48.910 --> 11:50.680 develop a new cabinet shape 11:53.840 --> 11:55.650 it right here we'll see England. 11:55.700 --> 11:58.330 So we're talking about the English right. 11:58.340 --> 12:06.370 The earliest were recorded weight driven mechanical clock was built and 12 83. 12:06.560 --> 12:12.730 The revolutionary aspect of this new time keeper was neither the descending way that provided the motive 12:12.730 --> 12:14.950 for force nor the gear wheels. 12:14.950 --> 12:17.360 So was talking about building the clock with the English. 12:17.510 --> 12:22.680 So we know that the correct match for number 7 is English which is D. 12:22.730 --> 12:23.300 All right. 12:23.430 --> 12:29.900 So now a couple of things that aren't mentioned right now even though where we finished the matching 12:29.900 --> 12:37.160 question we can see for the pair we have location question we can actually see some of the answers right 12:37.170 --> 12:42.840 now we know because this this question is asking which paragraph do you see this information. 12:43.130 --> 12:49.550 So by by doing the matching question first we can see that for number three with the pendulum clock 12:50.300 --> 12:59.180 we just read that right the pendulum clock that was mentioned right here in paragraph the pendulum clock 12:59.210 --> 13:02.260 pendulum pendulum pendulum clock is right here. 13:02.650 --> 13:04.660 Ok about the pendulum clock. 13:04.820 --> 13:12.740 Also by doing the math in question we actually know the answer to also number four because Number Four 13:12.740 --> 13:19.370 say a simultaneous efforts of different societies calculate time using uniform hours. 13:19.370 --> 13:31.580 We know that that is from paragraph E where it talked about the Babylonian hours the German hours and 13:31.580 --> 13:37.740 then the French splitting the day into two 12 hour periods so uniform hours right. 13:37.950 --> 13:40.040 Twenty four equal parts. 13:40.100 --> 13:43.460 So we know that that information comes from paragraph e. 13:43.910 --> 13:53.530 So by doing by doing the matching question first and then doing the paragraph location questions after 13:54.010 --> 13:58.990 you can actually get a really good idea for maybe we're were one or two of them were there where this 13:58.990 --> 14:00.670 information is located. 14:01.240 --> 14:03.240 And that's why I say don't do it first sorry. 14:03.300 --> 14:09.970 So that's just a little bit of a tidbit or advice for you in terms of handling that paragraph location 14:09.970 --> 14:10.730 question. 14:11.110 --> 14:11.760 OK. 14:12.010 --> 14:12.490 All right. 14:12.490 --> 14:18.970 So if you're doing the whole course the next thing we're going to be addressing after this is the paragraph 14:18.970 --> 14:25.210 location question and we're going to be coming back to back to this actual reading past to should do 14:25.210 --> 14:25.790 it. 14:25.810 --> 14:30.820 So you should be able to make a lot more sense to you then also. 14:30.820 --> 14:32.690 So talk to you so thanks a lot.
