Bits of the Humber right we see that in that peer in that first sentence we're talking about the Humber
and they're talking about disadvantages.
Now you see the word benefits there and you say OK well maybe that might throw it off a little bit.
But just look back at that paragraph.
It's easy to see if you see any language that might indicate that they're also a to talk about benefits
in this paragraph later on towards the end.
If you scanned through for any language it means similar to benefits.
I see it now because I'm now reading I'm scanning down without reading looking for a word that means
the same as benefits.
And I see the word already right.
This is a broad prosperity.
So that means we're talking about obstacles and at the end they mentioned something about prosperity.
But I knew that was the right answer because that was the only answer.
JOYCE They talked about obstacles and when you talk about obstacles you're talking about disadvantages.
OK.
Can't be any other choice.
It can't be any other choice but I hope you see all we're doing this.
OK.
I'm not a lot of you guys don't know what you're supposed to be looking for.
So number six number six that we've done number four
number four is is there is going.
I like them.
Mark all of them what has gone before is gone.
Number six is going.
Those are both going to means we can't use those again.
I am not going to be right now because Is that double paragraph.
So I'm going to jump down to see.
All right.
So our first sentence the bridge was the outcome.
Not that we're talking about the bridge right.
This is talking about the bridge.
The bridge was the outcome of over 100 years of campaigning by local interest for the construction of
a bridge.
All right.
The second sentence the first major crossing proposal was a tunnel scheme in 1872.
So this is when they first this is telling us how this paragraph is all telling us about how the bridge
came into fruition right how the bridge got started.
So look at the language.
Look at the language of our first two sentences.
Pay attention to the language.
All right.
Bridwell's the outcome over 100 years of campaigning.
Right.
And then our second sentence is talking about the first proposal and talking about it.
It was our first proposal was a total scheme right before the bridge that we're talking about a tunnel
scheme.
But we know that this paragraph is talking about a bridge and how the bridge came about.
Right.
They want to be a bridge or a tunnel.
So let's look and see if we could find one just talking about wanting a bridge or a tunnel a bridge
or a tunnel.
Right.
That's what this whole paragraph is going to talk about this whole area I was going to talk about the
debate between having a bridge or a tunnel.
Right.
We have a proposal scheme's a bridge or a tunnel system language everybody.
Look we're still in any language.
OK.
Which was talking about a bridge or a tunnel
we need what is talking about two different things.
There's an answer right there are polls alternatives to ferry services right now but I know this is
the answer because this is the only one that's talking about proposed alternatives a bridge or a tunnel.
Right now if you were to read deeper and read every sentence of that paragraph you'll see the word Ferien
there but I know this is my answer choice because the topic sentence the topic sentence tells me that
this paragraph is talking about the alternative of a bridge or a tunnel.
OK.
So number seven I'm sorry paragraph C is for.
Right and I'm doing this and going through it.
I actually can go through it much much faster but I trust the strategy right.
That's what it comes down to I trust the strategy I trusted.
And whenever I can say whenever I run into a problem my main thing in terms of is if I run into a problem
when I'm really confused then I would go ahead and maybe look at the last sentence.
But so far that hasn't been necessary for me to do that.
All right paragraph the.
All right now look at the first two sentences and let's get an idea of what the paragraph is about government
approval for the construction of a suspension bridge was finally granted in 1959 although it was not
until 1973 that the work finally began and the reasons why a suspension bridge was chosen were twofold.
Here we go.
Now we know what this paragraph is going to talk about.
This paragraph is going to talk about the reasons why a bridge was chosen.
A reason why in the next sentence I don't you I haven't read it but it's saying firstly.
Right.
So I know there's a Firstly there's going to be a Secondly But they're talking about the reasons why
it's a suspension bridge was chosen in were twofold.
They're going to tell us two reasons two reasons why they chose to build a bridge.
That's what this whole paragraph is talking about I don't need to read any more.
Right.
I don't need to read any more.
I know what the paragraph is talking about the reasons why the bridge was built.
So now let's go ahead and take a look and we can see why.
All right.
So let's go ahead and take a look and see why.
Reasons why it was billed reasons why was billed reasons why was billed
all right reasons why you're doing something if you're talking about the reasons why you're doing something
right.
Are we talking about the reasons why you're doing something bad.
Actually what you're going to see that one is gone which everyone else is gone already.
Hold on one moment.
Also number seven is actually going also.
So I like to always work on paper I would actually draw a line through it.
But reasons why it was built right the only one is not number one.
Number two is talking about building the bridge.
And that could be really close.
All right.
But we want to talk and he said in a language for reasons while you're doing something right.
That's all I'm looking for a synonym language for reasons why you're doing good reasons while you're
building.
And that's language right here.
An advantage and advantage of the fourth of the design for the bridge.
Right.
These are the Levant which has the advantage of the design of the bridge.
Let's talk about the reasons why you built the bridge.
The reasons why you're going to build it if you talk about the reasons why you're going to build it.
If I'm telling you the reasons why you're going to build something or I'm going to do something I'm
telling you the advantages of doing it right.
If I if I come to you and I tell you these are the reasons why I'm going to move to the United States
if I tell you that what am I also telling you the advantages of why I'm going to be doing it.
OK.
So that means that the is going to be choice number three.
Again Scrat this strategy is not difficult to understand but is the application of this is this.
Are you able to.
Are you able to do you have the ability to be able to understand topic sentences and be able to.
I'm sorry that that's not OK.
No.
All right.
That's what we want there.
We want to be able to understand a topic sentences.
All right let's go back and look at the.
All right.
So when we talk about we look at those sentences work on the bridge
those are first two sentences I'm actually going to do is read the first sentence work on the construction
preceded for eight years during which time many thousands of tons of steel and concrete were used in
upwards of 1000 workers and staff were employed at times of peak activity.
So everybody what is this whole paragraph going to be talking about.
Right.
What is this hope here.
I don't need to read more.
The first sentence tells you what you're going to be talking about in this entire paragraph.
They're talking about the work on the construction of the bridge.
They're telling you it took a thousand tons of steel and concrete and a lot of workers.
They're talking about the work on the construction.
So it should be clear with this answer choice here.
We've already seen what this answer choice here is.
Number two building the bridge work on the construction building construction work on the construction
building the bridge construction of the bridge sending them language.
That means he is number two.
All right.
And let's look at G.
All right the bridge opened up both socially and economically.
All right look at that first sentence.
I guess I should highlight it for you because I can do that.
I guess I guess I guess I can do the bridge opened up both socially and economically to previously remote
and insular areas of England and the improvement in communication enabled the area to realize its potential
in commercial industrial and tourist development.
All right so we know this paragraph is talking about the bridge opened up things socially and economically.
Right.
They were able to realize their potential for commercial industrial and tourist development.
OK.
That's what this paragraph is talking about opening up socially and economically improving communication
realize the potential and in commercial areas.
What are we talking about here everybody.
Which one has sit in them language for that.
Which one has set a language for that one.
Right.
How the bridge has contributed to region's growth.
We're talking about improving communication more prosperity for the commercial.
OK.
Opening up socially and economically that means the last one is the letter 8 or the Roman numeral 8
for paragraph G.
And I went there with the typewriter.
So that would be one two three and we're left with paragraph B.
All right.
So as we try and run across some of them out which ones haven't I crossed out of this one is gone.
Also there's another one that's gone.
Is that one and building the bridge is gone.
These are all ones that are gone right.
You're gone.
So I know I'm left with opposition to the bridge rise in demand.
And why ferry crossing has been difficult.
OK.
Right.
So go back and look at B now B B is really interesting because B has two paragraphs so how do we handle
it.
How do we handle it.
If we have two paragraphs What are we supposed to do.
OK so what are we supposed to do.
What are we supposed to do when we have two paragraphs.
Well we read the topic sentence of the first paragraph with the topic sentence of the next paragraph
right.
So we have the first the first topic sentence right here.
And we have the the next topic sentence.
Now did the shorter ones first.
And I did this one last because I like to build up a good a good head of steam.
I'd like to get some some one.
Some of them correct.
Move through them quickly start building confidence right.
So let's look at B to cater for these local.
And as time progressed wider needs ferrys were provided across many of the streams flowing into the
Humber.
Right.
So look this is what to cater to what why needs local needs and why needs they provided fairies right.
Ferrys they needed Ferizi provided fairies look at the next paragraph of the New Holland ferry service
then grew into a major link between the north and the South banks of the Humber.
So it was talking about the growth of the ferry service right in the first period the first their first
sentence tells you that they they had these fears because they were doing what catering to local and
wider needs.
So the whole thing is about fairies it is talking about why there was an increased need for tier firies
right.
They were trying to address or cater to the needs.
So they provided various.
So we look back at our answer choices what can we when we know the answer isn't what we know the answer
is that number five is call them a bridge.
Number one is tricky.
You know a lot of suitors will pick number one because they see it.
I see the words ferry crossing.
I'm going to pick it right.
It's about sit in language.
Number one says ferry crossing has been difficult.
Right this paragraph is not about they say nothing about a ferry crossing they're talking about catering
to wider needs and so they build ferries.
They said nothing about the ferry crossing is a bit difficult if that's what this paragraph was about.
That's what you would have seen on the topic sentence.
So number one is wrong number.
Number nine is correct.
Rising demand for river transport.
A synonym for Ferry is river transport.
Rising demand.
Where does it work.
Where do we get rising demand from.
They were catering to local and a wider me.
It's ok local and wider needs.
That's our rising demand and we have river transport which is synonym for firies.
That means B that means B is going to be number or X as people like me.
All right so I hope that was able to give you I hope I was able to give you a little bit more insight
on doing the headings question right.
You notice what I walk through it what I really like to rely on and what I think you have to get good
at doing is being able to identify the controlling idea of a paragraph.
If you're able to identify the controlling idea of a paragraph then you're able to know what that paragraph
is talking about.
And then you're able to go and match that up from one of the headings and get your answers quickly without
overeating and overdoing it.
That's what's really required and that's why you know some people try to ask me what was the secret
word to headings question is not complicated but it's challenging depending on your level of English.
Right.
If you have a lower level of English you can do a field the blank wished you could do a short answer
question but the headings question is more of a challenge.
For that reason because you have to be able to look at topic sentences and pull out what that paragraph
is about.
OK.
So I hope this is very helpful.
The recording came out OK there were a couple of dogs barking in the outside somewhere.
Hopefully they didn't interfere or get in the way so I hope that didn't bother you guys if that did
I'm sorry about that.
Not my dog.
I don't have any dogs.
But anyway I hope this was very helpful and I'll look forward to teaching you in the next strategy video.
OK.
All right.
So talk to you soon.
Take care.
Thank you.
