OK everyone.
So here we go.
We're looking at a nother matching question.
This is our second example our second example of the matching question.
OK so I hope that you're getting a really good idea from working with us on how the proper strategy
methods and tactics for doing the reading comprehension redialed a lot of students really are clear
about how to do the different questions.
And so I'm hoping that these lessons and these and the strategy and how to do it is something that can
be really really helpful to you.
OK.
All right.
So as you know with our basic strategy we have to look at the words in the box and then quickly go to
the passage and then we could circle where we see each word.
Some might appear more than once.
The second thing you can do is to look at the possible answer choices and unlike keywords which might
help you to be able to choose an answer much faster I think is very important terms of step 3 to do
your names are nouns and appear once in the passage first because they'll be faster to answer.
The key thing you have to do is read the sentence where you see the word the word read the sentence
where you see the word in the box and then pick which one of the questions has the matching matching
late which Right.
It's all about her ability to match and picks that language.
And that's what we're doing here.
OK.
So the better you're able to do that the more successful you're going to be when doing it when doing
these types of questions.
This one is coming from the Cambridge official practice test.
This is from Test Number Seven and it's reading passage 2 and it's the one dealing with the fatal attraction.
All right.
Fatal attraction.
You know one good thing about one good thing that I find when you are when you guys will be studying
for the IRS exam for reading comprehension you're actually going to become a lot smarter because they
have read the passage topics about so many different things.
So one benefit from doing this exam is that you're going to get a lot more just general knowledge about
a lot of different topics that you probably would normally read about.
As you know we don't have to read the passage first without the the topics or topic sentences or scanned
through was scanned through art or anything like that.
So I skip skip or scan through other passes we go directly to the question for a matching question is
going to be easy for this one as he starts off.
You know we have a fill in the blank question.
If you're if you're doing the exam.
Yeah you can start with the field the blank question first.
But again if you have a matching question it might be good maybe sometimes to start with your matching
question also just because those words in the box are most of the time there will be some type of Prop..
Now there they're going to be easy to find they're going to be much easier to find much much easier
to find.
Sometimes I've seen I've seen this actually on some of the older test where they actually have it reversed
where I like to use words in the box.
Actually the questions like number 19 was say Venus flytrap number 20 was a bladder word and there were
21 would say dressier a sudden do when they have these sentences inside the box.
So I've seen the reverse.
It's very rare that it happens that way.
But I've seen it happen that way where they have a reversed.
And but the strategy doesn't change enough.
Do we still look at those proper nouns and find them and read them and then find a match so don't worry
about it.
They have a switch the other way around in terms of the lifestyle.
OK.
Sometimes they like to switch the style around to mess with you or give you something that maybe you
haven't looked at before but this one is going to be really straightforward because you know we can
we can we can find these words in the box really easy as you see we have for questions.
We have five five things in the box.
So one of them is definitely not going to be used.
We can only use each letter what's the reason why is there are no directions for it for you to be able
to use a letter more than once you have to have directions that say you can use a letter more than once.
All right.
Always be aware of that.
If you can use the letter more than once.
There will be directions that say you can use the letter more than once so it's very important to be
aware of that so that you don't make simple mistakes and get things wrong.
OK.
Now go ahead and find.
All right.
Number 19 says something about digesting insects and creatures that were 20 something was the substance.
I would circle these as keywords.
21 said something about creating an empty space and insects being sucked.
Those are my key words.
Catch 22 is going to be something about a sticky substance.
So I would circle those keywords are the questions because then when I read the sentences for these
different words in the box it might make it easier for me to answer it faster.
OK you get it.
Let's go find Venus flytrap
see Venus flytrap right there in a very right here.
Very first all OK.
Liras bladder wort right there.
There's real serum right there.
All right.
So actually some of the it looks like this one it looks like this one is lighting up.
It looks like it's lining up
yeah.
Here we have some of the venus fly trap again venus fly trap the sun drew.
So we have them appear a couple of different times than what we're us look back again will some of our
other ones we had look at Raffles all the pitcher plants are we all said something about the pitcher
plants.
OK.
And there we have a picture of something about the pitcher plants right there.
There's something about the Raffl pitcher plant right there.
All right.
So we have the Raffl and then the other one was the purple pitcher plant
write that was for the raffle pitcher plant.
And there's the purple pitcher plant.
So yeah these are going in and order these are going in order.
These are definitely going on order.
So I saw that the venus fly trap under the Drucilla appear more than once.
And the Venus flytrap in a peer to pin number one more than once.
So I'll probably do the bladder wart and the Raffl and the purple pitcher Howat probably do those first
because I only read need to read one sentence and see if they fit.
See if they match up.
So those are the ones that I would do probably first.
All right so let's have a look first and read about the bladder work first.
The bladder wort has an equally sophisticated way.
Excuse me the bladder work has to be everybody.
The bladder weren't has an equally sophisticated way of setting its under water trap it pumps water
out of a tiny bag like bladders making a vacuum inside when small creatures swim past.
They've been the hairs on the bladder causing a flap to open the low pressure sucks water in carrying
the animal along with it.
OK.
So this is some kind of trap using water where it uses pressure to suck suck the suck the animal in.
OK.
So let's see if that is a match for any of our.
Answer choices
or uses other creatures to help us digest.
Nope nothing about that slippery substance though.
Here it is right here 21.
It creates the empty space into which insects are.
Yep because we just read those sentences that it talked about insects being sucked in.
OK.
It talked about insects being sucked in.
If you want.
Go ahead and rewind the tape and you can look back at the sentence again.
But we were we were we we looked at the sentence for the bladder We're right here and we read it.
We read these sentences and looked at it.
This is methodology of what is doing and it talks about it using pressure to suck watery and carry the
animal along with it.
Yes it makes a vacuum and a vacuum is a synonym for empty space.
OK.
So that means that our answer sheet we would mark on our answer sheet we were Mark.
Number 21 is being B for bladder word.
All right.
Now let's look at the the Raffl pitcher plant.
Like I said I'm doing those first because they appear they I just see them appearing once.
Here's Raffl right here.
The Raffl picture plant right here in paragraph be at the end where you see the small little hand the
Raffl pitcher plant
from the jungles of Borneo produce nectar that both lures insects and forms a slick surface which they
can't get a grip.
Insects that land on the rim slide on the liquid and tumble in.
We know that's a bat.
We saw that one already and that's why it's good sometimes to picked the toy and select your select
the key words right here 21 as they answer this slippery surface and when we when we just read that
sentence it talked about when we just read that sentence.
OK.
For further Raffl plant it talked about it forms a slick surface.
It says it right there right says it forms a slick surface.
So we talked about it forming a slick surface.
Right that's right here.
Well you know it it forms it forms a slick surface.
OK.
And so that's that's why we picked them as our answer choice.
Now look we're talking about the Purple Heart.
But the purple picture play out of a paragraph.
See second sentence.
But the purple pitcher plant which lives in bogs in fertile Sandy soils in North America and this other
organized or at least other organisms to process this food.
OK.
So again we see this answer also he says the purple pitcher plant in lists it lists other organisms
to process its food so it uses other organisms like other animals.
That's what an animal is an organism.
It lists other organisms to processes food could be animal could be something else.
Bacteria I guess I guess possible with the organism.
All right.
So that will be.
That will be right here.
Nineteen uses other creatures synonym for organism to help digest insects digest as a synonym for processing
as food.
So the correct answer for number 19 is the purple pitcher plant.
All right.
And then we have one more to go find something talking about a sticky substance something talking about
a sticky substance.
So look at the dry syrup plant.
Is either going to be the syrup plant or the venus fly trap that talks about a sticky substance so that's
all we're looking for.
All right.
Drew Sirus in paragraph B everybody paragraphed be right here where you see the hand on the screen right
there that little hand this movie the Cirrus Sundra the dressier a sudden do meanwhile has a fixed sweet
liquid oozing from its leaves which first attracts insects then holds them fast before the leaves are
snapped shut.
They're just sun Drucilla sudden do meanwhile has a thick sweet liquid oozing from its leaves which
first attracts insects then holds them fast before the leaves snap shut right where talks about holes
is a sweet liquid from its leaves.
All right it holds them fast.
That means they get stuck.
That's our sit in them right there where it says it holds them fast.
That means they get they get stuck there.
They can't.
They can't move.
All right.
So the correct answer for our sentence is talking about produce the sticky substance is the sirra.
So number 22 would be c..
So I correct answers here we're number nine.
Number 19 was e number 20 was d number 21 was B number 22 was C..
All right.
So again that's how we do our matching question.
Thanks a lot everyone.
And I hope you now understand how to do a magic question.
Talk to you soon.
