WEBVTT 00:01.120 --> 00:01.950 OK everyone. 00:01.950 --> 00:02.790 So here we go. 00:02.790 --> 00:05.830 We're looking at a nother matching question. 00:05.850 --> 00:11.530 This is our second example our second example of the matching question. 00:12.200 --> 00:20.520 OK so I hope that you're getting a really good idea from working with us on how the proper strategy 00:21.360 --> 00:27.150 methods and tactics for doing the reading comprehension redialed a lot of students really are clear 00:28.170 --> 00:30.340 about how to do the different questions. 00:30.600 --> 00:36.900 And so I'm hoping that these lessons and these and the strategy and how to do it is something that can 00:36.900 --> 00:39.620 be really really helpful to you. 00:39.780 --> 00:40.740 OK. 00:41.310 --> 00:41.650 All right. 00:41.670 --> 00:47.760 So as you know with our basic strategy we have to look at the words in the box and then quickly go to 00:47.760 --> 00:50.750 the passage and then we could circle where we see each word. 00:51.120 --> 00:54.220 Some might appear more than once. 00:54.240 --> 00:59.370 The second thing you can do is to look at the possible answer choices and unlike keywords which might 00:59.370 --> 01:05.400 help you to be able to choose an answer much faster I think is very important terms of step 3 to do 01:05.400 --> 01:11.370 your names are nouns and appear once in the passage first because they'll be faster to answer. 01:11.440 --> 01:17.580 The key thing you have to do is read the sentence where you see the word the word read the sentence 01:18.060 --> 01:23.700 where you see the word in the box and then pick which one of the questions has the matching matching 01:23.700 --> 01:25.270 late which Right. 01:25.290 --> 01:28.700 It's all about her ability to match and picks that language. 01:28.940 --> 01:30.080 And that's what we're doing here. 01:30.120 --> 01:30.990 OK. 01:30.990 --> 01:36.600 So the better you're able to do that the more successful you're going to be when doing it when doing 01:36.600 --> 01:38.610 these types of questions. 01:38.640 --> 01:42.680 This one is coming from the Cambridge official practice test. 01:42.780 --> 01:52.570 This is from Test Number Seven and it's reading passage 2 and it's the one dealing with the fatal attraction. 01:52.570 --> 01:52.950 All right. 01:52.950 --> 01:54.280 Fatal attraction. 01:54.390 --> 02:00.870 You know one good thing about one good thing that I find when you are when you guys will be studying 02:00.870 --> 02:06.480 for the IRS exam for reading comprehension you're actually going to become a lot smarter because they 02:06.480 --> 02:10.540 have read the passage topics about so many different things. 02:10.550 --> 02:18.030 So one benefit from doing this exam is that you're going to get a lot more just general knowledge about 02:18.030 --> 02:22.920 a lot of different topics that you probably would normally read about. 02:23.310 --> 02:28.910 As you know we don't have to read the passage first without the the topics or topic sentences or scanned 02:28.920 --> 02:33.350 through was scanned through art or anything like that. 02:33.480 --> 02:40.530 So I skip skip or scan through other passes we go directly to the question for a matching question is 02:40.530 --> 02:45.920 going to be easy for this one as he starts off. 02:46.300 --> 02:49.170 You know we have a fill in the blank question. 02:49.570 --> 02:52.110 If you're if you're doing the exam. 02:52.370 --> 02:56.470 Yeah you can start with the field the blank question first. 02:57.130 --> 03:03.310 But again if you have a matching question it might be good maybe sometimes to start with your matching 03:03.310 --> 03:08.440 question also just because those words in the box are most of the time there will be some type of Prop.. 03:08.440 --> 03:15.010 Now there they're going to be easy to find they're going to be much easier to find much much easier 03:15.010 --> 03:16.230 to find. 03:16.240 --> 03:23.650 Sometimes I've seen I've seen this actually on some of the older test where they actually have it reversed 03:24.250 --> 03:26.200 where I like to use words in the box. 03:26.250 --> 03:32.470 Actually the questions like number 19 was say Venus flytrap number 20 was a bladder word and there were 03:32.470 --> 03:40.340 21 would say dressier a sudden do when they have these sentences inside the box. 03:40.390 --> 03:41.730 So I've seen the reverse. 03:41.740 --> 03:44.000 It's very rare that it happens that way. 03:44.290 --> 03:48.030 But I've seen it happen that way where they have a reversed. 03:48.520 --> 03:51.180 And but the strategy doesn't change enough. 03:51.200 --> 03:57.280 Do we still look at those proper nouns and find them and read them and then find a match so don't worry 03:57.280 --> 03:57.640 about it. 03:57.630 --> 04:02.450 They have a switch the other way around in terms of the lifestyle. 04:02.500 --> 04:03.110 OK. 04:03.280 --> 04:07.990 Sometimes they like to switch the style around to mess with you or give you something that maybe you 04:07.990 --> 04:15.010 haven't looked at before but this one is going to be really straightforward because you know we can 04:15.000 --> 04:20.830 we can we can find these words in the box really easy as you see we have for questions. 04:20.830 --> 04:25.320 We have five five things in the box. 04:25.420 --> 04:28.570 So one of them is definitely not going to be used. 04:28.630 --> 04:35.590 We can only use each letter what's the reason why is there are no directions for it for you to be able 04:35.590 --> 04:42.340 to use a letter more than once you have to have directions that say you can use a letter more than once. 04:42.340 --> 04:42.750 All right. 04:42.740 --> 04:44.730 Always be aware of that. 04:45.160 --> 04:46.900 If you can use the letter more than once. 04:46.900 --> 04:52.570 There will be directions that say you can use the letter more than once so it's very important to be 04:52.570 --> 04:56.460 aware of that so that you don't make simple mistakes and get things wrong. 04:56.500 --> 04:57.000 OK. 05:00.590 --> 05:03.220 Now go ahead and find. 05:03.640 --> 05:04.850 All right. 05:04.970 --> 05:11.800 Number 19 says something about digesting insects and creatures that were 20 something was the substance. 05:11.800 --> 05:14.320 I would circle these as keywords. 05:14.610 --> 05:19.900 21 said something about creating an empty space and insects being sucked. 05:19.910 --> 05:21.550 Those are my key words. 05:21.570 --> 05:24.590 Catch 22 is going to be something about a sticky substance. 05:24.650 --> 05:30.950 So I would circle those keywords are the questions because then when I read the sentences for these 05:30.950 --> 05:35.410 different words in the box it might make it easier for me to answer it faster. 05:35.430 --> 05:38.180 OK you get it. 05:39.370 --> 05:40.880 Let's go find Venus flytrap 05:50.830 --> 05:54.860 see Venus flytrap right there in a very right here. 05:54.880 --> 05:58.140 Very first all OK. 05:58.350 --> 06:00.790 Liras bladder wort right there. 06:01.470 --> 06:03.360 There's real serum right there. 06:05.210 --> 06:05.620 All right. 06:05.620 --> 06:13.280 So actually some of the it looks like this one it looks like this one is lighting up. 06:13.280 --> 06:14.780 It looks like it's lining up 06:23.500 --> 06:24.060 yeah. 06:29.630 --> 06:35.060 Here we have some of the venus fly trap again venus fly trap the sun drew. 06:35.330 --> 06:42.860 So we have them appear a couple of different times than what we're us look back again will some of our 06:42.860 --> 06:50.120 other ones we had look at Raffles all the pitcher plants are we all said something about the pitcher 06:50.120 --> 06:51.000 plants. 06:52.990 --> 06:53.520 OK. 06:53.970 --> 06:58.130 And there we have a picture of something about the pitcher plants right there. 06:58.170 --> 07:02.740 There's something about the Raffl pitcher plant right there. 07:02.740 --> 07:03.100 All right. 07:03.110 --> 07:10.620 So we have the Raffl and then the other one was the purple pitcher plant 07:14.360 --> 07:17.730 write that was for the raffle pitcher plant. 07:18.050 --> 07:19.650 And there's the purple pitcher plant. 07:19.730 --> 07:24.390 So yeah these are going in and order these are going in order. 07:24.560 --> 07:26.300 These are definitely going on order. 07:26.340 --> 07:32.900 So I saw that the venus fly trap under the Drucilla appear more than once. 07:33.210 --> 07:37.930 And the Venus flytrap in a peer to pin number one more than once. 07:38.180 --> 07:44.450 So I'll probably do the bladder wart and the Raffl and the purple pitcher Howat probably do those first 07:45.830 --> 07:50.200 because I only read need to read one sentence and see if they fit. 07:50.210 --> 07:51.890 See if they match up. 07:51.890 --> 07:58.720 So those are the ones that I would do probably first. 07:58.730 --> 08:05.930 All right so let's have a look first and read about the bladder work first. 08:10.650 --> 08:14.450 The bladder wort has an equally sophisticated way. 08:14.580 --> 08:19.160 Excuse me the bladder work has to be everybody. 08:19.260 --> 08:26.940 The bladder weren't has an equally sophisticated way of setting its under water trap it pumps water 08:26.940 --> 08:34.020 out of a tiny bag like bladders making a vacuum inside when small creatures swim past. 08:34.030 --> 08:41.940 They've been the hairs on the bladder causing a flap to open the low pressure sucks water in carrying 08:41.940 --> 08:43.570 the animal along with it. 08:43.830 --> 08:44.460 OK. 08:44.730 --> 08:52.640 So this is some kind of trap using water where it uses pressure to suck suck the suck the animal in. 08:53.410 --> 08:54.370 OK. 08:55.020 --> 09:00.200 So let's see if that is a match for any of our. 09:00.200 --> 09:01.430 Answer choices 09:05.460 --> 09:09.490 or uses other creatures to help us digest. 09:09.490 --> 09:13.540 Nope nothing about that slippery substance though. 09:13.720 --> 09:15.290 Here it is right here 21. 09:15.400 --> 09:18.190 It creates the empty space into which insects are. 09:18.250 --> 09:22.970 Yep because we just read those sentences that it talked about insects being sucked in. 09:23.170 --> 09:23.960 OK. 09:24.010 --> 09:26.220 It talked about insects being sucked in. 09:26.620 --> 09:27.220 If you want. 09:27.220 --> 09:31.860 Go ahead and rewind the tape and you can look back at the sentence again. 09:32.170 --> 09:39.170 But we were we were we we looked at the sentence for the bladder We're right here and we read it. 09:39.220 --> 09:40.950 We read these sentences and looked at it. 09:41.010 --> 09:47.470 This is methodology of what is doing and it talks about it using pressure to suck watery and carry the 09:47.470 --> 09:48.910 animal along with it. 09:49.110 --> 09:53.230 Yes it makes a vacuum and a vacuum is a synonym for empty space. 09:53.580 --> 09:54.460 OK. 09:54.970 --> 10:01.740 So that means that our answer sheet we would mark on our answer sheet we were Mark. 10:02.140 --> 10:05.410 Number 21 is being B for bladder word. 10:05.630 --> 10:05.980 All right. 10:05.990 --> 10:11.070 Now let's look at the the Raffl pitcher plant. 10:11.200 --> 10:17.080 Like I said I'm doing those first because they appear they I just see them appearing once. 10:17.090 --> 10:18.560 Here's Raffl right here. 10:18.700 --> 10:25.360 The Raffl picture plant right here in paragraph be at the end where you see the small little hand the 10:25.360 --> 10:26.650 Raffl pitcher plant 10:29.770 --> 10:38.020 from the jungles of Borneo produce nectar that both lures insects and forms a slick surface which they 10:38.020 --> 10:39.540 can't get a grip. 10:39.550 --> 10:44.830 Insects that land on the rim slide on the liquid and tumble in. 10:45.040 --> 10:45.900 We know that's a bat. 10:45.910 --> 10:52.060 We saw that one already and that's why it's good sometimes to picked the toy and select your select 10:52.060 --> 10:58.270 the key words right here 21 as they answer this slippery surface and when we when we just read that 10:58.270 --> 11:02.360 sentence it talked about when we just read that sentence. 11:02.970 --> 11:03.560 OK. 11:03.640 --> 11:08.520 For further Raffl plant it talked about it forms a slick surface. 11:08.530 --> 11:12.670 It says it right there right says it forms a slick surface. 11:12.730 --> 11:16.440 So we talked about it forming a slick surface. 11:16.510 --> 11:18.570 Right that's right here. 11:18.640 --> 11:22.970 Well you know it it forms it forms a slick surface. 11:23.350 --> 11:24.020 OK. 11:24.310 --> 11:27.690 And so that's that's why we picked them as our answer choice. 11:27.730 --> 11:31.630 Now look we're talking about the Purple Heart. 11:31.930 --> 11:34.040 But the purple picture play out of a paragraph. 11:34.040 --> 11:35.960 See second sentence. 11:36.130 --> 11:43.600 But the purple pitcher plant which lives in bogs in fertile Sandy soils in North America and this other 11:43.630 --> 11:47.480 organized or at least other organisms to process this food. 11:47.840 --> 11:48.440 OK. 11:48.730 --> 11:56.440 So again we see this answer also he says the purple pitcher plant in lists it lists other organisms 11:56.440 --> 12:01.380 to process its food so it uses other organisms like other animals. 12:01.600 --> 12:04.640 That's what an animal is an organism. 12:04.720 --> 12:09.650 It lists other organisms to processes food could be animal could be something else. 12:09.670 --> 12:14.460 Bacteria I guess I guess possible with the organism. 12:14.570 --> 12:15.450 All right. 12:15.670 --> 12:16.690 So that will be. 12:16.750 --> 12:18.070 That will be right here. 12:18.180 --> 12:26.830 Nineteen uses other creatures synonym for organism to help digest insects digest as a synonym for processing 12:26.830 --> 12:27.840 as food. 12:28.360 --> 12:34.510 So the correct answer for number 19 is the purple pitcher plant. 12:34.510 --> 12:35.080 All right. 12:35.230 --> 12:42.400 And then we have one more to go find something talking about a sticky substance something talking about 12:42.400 --> 12:45.140 a sticky substance. 12:45.140 --> 12:47.980 So look at the dry syrup plant. 12:48.660 --> 12:56.110 Is either going to be the syrup plant or the venus fly trap that talks about a sticky substance so that's 12:56.110 --> 13:00.490 all we're looking for. 13:00.490 --> 13:00.830 All right. 13:00.870 --> 13:07.420 Drew Sirus in paragraph B everybody paragraphed be right here where you see the hand on the screen right 13:07.450 --> 13:15.640 there that little hand this movie the Cirrus Sundra the dressier a sudden do meanwhile has a fixed sweet 13:15.700 --> 13:24.750 liquid oozing from its leaves which first attracts insects then holds them fast before the leaves are 13:24.750 --> 13:27.090 snapped shut. 13:27.100 --> 13:35.050 They're just sun Drucilla sudden do meanwhile has a thick sweet liquid oozing from its leaves which 13:35.050 --> 13:43.000 first attracts insects then holds them fast before the leaves snap shut right where talks about holes 13:43.000 --> 13:46.400 is a sweet liquid from its leaves. 13:46.750 --> 13:50.620 All right it holds them fast. 13:50.620 --> 13:51.990 That means they get stuck. 13:52.240 --> 13:55.670 That's our sit in them right there where it says it holds them fast. 13:55.690 --> 13:57.520 That means they get they get stuck there. 13:57.550 --> 13:58.060 They can't. 13:58.060 --> 13:59.980 They can't move. 14:00.010 --> 14:00.430 All right. 14:00.460 --> 14:09.200 So the correct answer for our sentence is talking about produce the sticky substance is the sirra. 14:09.220 --> 14:12.010 So number 22 would be c.. 14:12.370 --> 14:14.430 So I correct answers here we're number nine. 14:14.440 --> 14:23.510 Number 19 was e number 20 was d number 21 was B number 22 was C.. 14:23.590 --> 14:23.950 All right. 14:23.950 --> 14:27.400 So again that's how we do our matching question. 14:27.430 --> 14:28.490 Thanks a lot everyone. 14:28.530 --> 14:32.260 And I hope you now understand how to do a magic question. 14:32.260 --> 14:33.120 Talk to you soon.
