Oh k everyone let's have a look at a rather short answer example on how to do the short answer questions.
As a quick review as you know these questions go in and order.
We want to look at the question set for the short answer and see which ones are easiest to find.
First let's start with those.
And then we know the question is going order.
We have to be able to look at the question look at the key words in the quest to locate that specific
sentence.
The question is coming from.
And then we'll be able to answer the question.
Also we have to be aware that sometimes they will take two sentences from a paragraph and combine them
into one sentence for a question.
So we have to be aware of that in terms of our strategy and tactics when we are doing this particular
type of question.
All right so let's take a look at what we're dealing with here.
This one comes from the official Isles eight practice test 2014.
Throughout this course look you come using the Cambridge book Isle's book T.N. the Cambridge Heils book
dying and also the official child a practice test 2014.
Those are the best books to practice with.
Love those books because they are designed by the people that make the test.
So I encourage you to go out and get those books because that's what is good to practice with.
That is what I'm teaching from.
And if you want to do the practice along with me that's what you need.
OK.
The Dover bronze age boat the Dover bronze age boat so it is called IMI you go immediately to the questions
you have to read introduction or the topic sentences or the paragraphs is a waste of time.
Go right to the questions that go in order.
Start with those first here.
Here we're focusing on our short answer questions.
So we have how far.
How far under the ground was the boat found.
What natural materials was secured to the boat.
What aspect of the boat was the fall of 2012 because of reconstruction.
So when we look at dumpers 10 11 12 and 13 will look at 10 11 12 13.
Number 13 is going to be the easiest one to find first.
Number 13 is going to be the easiest phone to find him first because he has a date of a 12 year and
there were 12.
Twelve is the easiest to find first because there's a date 2012.
So one aspect of the boat was the focus of 2012 reconstruction.
So look for that
found 2012 look on his first page to make sure I don't see 2012 again.
And as I was going up as I was scanning up I saw the word I saw the number of 2012 but I don't see it
as I see 2002 Don't 2012.
And here is 2012 over here.
Here we have 2012.
So our question says one aspect of that boat was the focus of the 2012 reconstruction.
All right.
So the answer is and this is right here.
But I'll explain to you why in 2012 however the whole shape was at the center of the work because the
words center of the work are synonym for focus.
The words center of the work are synonym for the words focus and then the question.
So our answer is wholesale wholesale was the was the focus Hoshi was the center of the work.
So it's all about being able to find nested in a language.
So our answer for number 12 is whole shape.
OK.
Now for the other ones for numbers 10 11 and 13 is pretty much.
I mean they all are pretty much the same.
There are no real words that stand out so I'm going to go ahead and look at number 11 first.
Number 11 says what natural material had been secured to the bolt to prevent water entering.
Key words here are we need a natural material boat and also water.
That's key.
Water water any natural material had been secured and the bolt within water entering.
So no one has to come before this
and we're scanning scanning scanning
get faster calling the beginning
there is water log.
So
and
you might find it before I do
see if he can.
Here we go.
We're looking for a word that prevents water from entering here's water tight.
All right water tight water tight a synonym for prevent water from entering.
All right so the seams had been made water tight by pads of moss.
So that's my answer right there.
Pads of moss watertight and pads of moss.
So we look down at our question what natural material have is secured to the bolt prevent water entering.
What it says prevent water entering the words water tight.
We see the words water tight prevent water from entering.
As I said language match.
And then when we look at that sentence we see there is pads of moss are what have been secured to prevent
the water from entering high.
Now number 10 how far under the boat.
How far into the ground was the boat found.
How far under the ground was the boat found.
Key words are under the ground.
So we also know what's helpful it was helpful out of routine.
I guess I should have pointed this out to you.
Now I see it actually for number 10 what would have been the easiest thing to do for that routine as
we know we're looking for a number because it says how far into the ground so we know we're looking
for a number that we know we're looking for a measurement.
So actually number two it was actually pretty easy to do.
Probably
them we're starting backwards from here which is tight.
So here it is right here six meters below at the base of a deep shaft six meters below the modern streets
a wooden structure was revealed.
So you were six meters below OK six meters below.
That's our answer.
The second is this is the nine metres of the boat's length.
This is TALK ABOUT LITTLE how long the boat was worth is nine metres.
But here is six meters below the street.
So that's underground.
Right so the answer is six meters.
All right.
Now when you look at number 13 which two factors including the decision not to make a full scale reconstruction
of the boat.
So for number 13 we're looking for two factors is very important.
There are two factors two factors of the decision to not make it for scale reconstruction not make it
for scale reconstruction.
Two factors and not make a full scale reconstruction.
We know what has to come after where they talk about 2012.
Right.
Because this is the next question.
And we're scanning and we're scanning
here we go.
It was decided to make the replica half scale.
So this is talking about them not making it full scale.
Right.
They would decide to make the replica half scale.
So this is the same as them saying they're not going to make it full scale.
Get it.
OK.
So it was it was decided to make the replica half scale for reasons of cost and time.
There are answers right there cost and time costs and time.
So as we see with the short answer question our question with an order.
Right.
Go our questions go in order we've found the answer number one.
Number one was right here six meters.
Number two was right here where it talks about PAD's Amoss and watertight.
Number three the third one was right here about 2012.
And the last one was right here where it talks about decide to do it half scale which means not full
scale and cost and time.
So we went in order.
We didn't do it in order.
But the question is come in order.
OK.
That's what's very important I understand.
It helps you find them.
OK.
So take care and I'll talk to you soon as we go through another short answer example.
