OK.
Thank you everybody for joining me today.
In this live class this live class is a reading comprehension class and this class is going to focus
on the yes no not given question I'm not going to be addressing the headings question or the sentence
completion question or any other type of question today.
The only question that I'm addressing is the yes no not given question the reason why I'm addressing
this question is this question along with the Along with the headings question and sometimes the summary
question are some of the more difficult questions for students to manage.
And so
and so I am going to address the rest on a given question today.
And then in another live class on another day I will specifically address the headings question in a
live class and then on another day I will specifically address the summary question in a live class.
All right so let's go ahead and get started.
And if you have any questions if you have any questions along the way please make sure you type your
question and I'll be sure to answer that question for you.
OK.
All right.
So before I get started Does anybody have any questions about the on given question if you do type your
question in the chat box and I will definitely definitely do my best to answer your question.
OK.
All right.
So
when we're talking about the Yes don't give in question before we even get into that.
Let's look at this.
I have a we've got to look at something real basic level OK on a real basic level we're going to take
a look at something right.
So
right.
So the first question I'm asking is how many tests are within the reading section.
Now what I mean by that actually and me rephrase this question now how many.
That's that's what I want to say.
This is what I want to say.
What is being tested for in the reading section.
And this is a really really important question because actually for the reading section of the eyeless
exam they are actually two things you're being tested on.
There are today two things we're being tested on first and you're being tested or is scanning and skimming.
The second thing you're being tested on is comprehension
right.
Everybody most everybody because it's not good to use extreme language but most most students and even
a lot of tutors will always say reading comprehension we have to do reading comprehension and the the
exam for the Isles.
It involves two parts.
OK.
It evolves.
There are two things they're testing two things they are testing your ability to scan skim and scan
specific information scan for specific information and then they're testing how well do you comprehend
that information.
Right.
So there are two things.
And what I find is that a lot of students don't work on the first part.
Right.
The first part which is scanning and skimming.
And then I have a lot of people that tell me sometimes well I can't get finished in time.
I'm not I'm not I'm not going fast enough I can't get finished in time.
What that means is that you have to work on the first part more.
Being able to skim and scan quickly being able to find the specific information whether it's a question
of goals in order or a question that doesn't go in order.
You have to be able to scan and scan for information.
So if you want to do good on that if you don't want to do well on reading comprehension you have to
be good at both things they're testing on scanning and comprehension.
If you do that you'll see a lot of improvement.
And also you will save a lot of time.
OK.
So before I got into the test on that given question I wanted to address that first so that people kind
of understand what they have to really work on for the exam.
OK.
All right.
So there's nothing about yes no not given
right.
So it depends on the question sometimes you'll say yes sometimes they'll say true sometimes you'll say
no sometimes you'll say falls.
That is always God given right but it's always true false not given or.
Yes.
No not given.
Well OK.
All right.
So I'm going to give a little bit of definition to what true means and I'm going to try that.
I'm going to try.
I want to try to give a simple definition.
Ok just so we can make sure we really understand them on a basic level.
We're located in the matching.
Right.
That's a that's a that's a good definition of true.
All the central parts of the question are located in the magic centers in the passage.
Nothing has changed altered or left out right.
That's that's basically what surely is.
All right.
So we talk about false or not or no.
All are false.
There are parts of the question nouns verbs and verbs that are different change or opposite in the matching
senses of the passage.
Right.
You're always comparing.
You're always comparing the question to the passage not the passage to the question.
The question to the passage it's a one way comparison OK.
So it's very important that you understand that it is a one way comparison.
All right.
Now we got your message.
I'll take a look at that later on.
All right.
So when you look at these definitions of true false and not given our Yes no and not given.
Does anybody have any questions about the definition or definitions or the definitions clear for most
people.
The definitions are pretty clear where people get in trouble is with the application of the death of
the definitions.
That's where most people get in trouble is with the application of the definitions.
And so that's actually what we're going to be working on today is working on that application and making
sure that we can do it correctly.
All right.
So let's look at our first reading passage or you'll see it will come on your screen.
So
have a little bit of a cold today.
All right.
So here's our first passage right.
And when we look at it first thing we do is go down to the questions here and we have our true false
not giving questions right now.
As I teach you during the course.
One thing that I like to do is I like to try to find the questions that are going to be maybe the easiest
to do first right which questions are going to be the easiest to do first.
So when we look at these which questions do you guys think are the easiest to do first.
You can type in the box and let me know.
What level of.
Hold on hold on.
I should be more specific.
Tell me which question and why.
Why is it.
Why is it a good one to start with what and why which and why.
Well good good.
There we go.
Thank you.
All right.
So some people have told me number one is really good because it has a
because it has a Web site
as it has a Web site so number one is actually really good to use.
I'm trying to do something if I can do it.
Number one is really good to use.
And number 10 is really good because it has 26 percent they are the order of New Zealand the word New
Zealand is not really good because New Zealand is everywhere.
Right you've got to see New Zealand everywhere.
And so we wouldn't choose we wouldn't choose New Zealand as a possibility.
All right.
Everybody give me one moment please.
OK.
Sorry about that.
Yes.
So number eight and number 10.
Ali I agree with you guys.
I like both of those.
All right.
So when we look at when we look at number when we look at number eight the keywords in them rate of
course that Web site.
And then also another key word is the word itineraries because that's what it's about.
So if I were scanning I'd be looking for the Web site which is right in which Google is good and also
looking at the word itineraries for Number 10.
I would definitely be looking for the number 26 which is very easy to find also.
So let's start with Ole's first.
OK let's start with those fires.
OK.
So right here in this first paragraph right here we see the Web site
right.
There's the Web site right there
right.
The website is right there now.
Now we have to be one thing we have to be careful with is when we look at this sentence.
All right we look at the sentence where we're looking for the website address but also I've always tried
to tell you guys that she has to be aware of sin and Emerling right aware of sin them language.
So if if I were to use a synonym language for this for this www.youtube.com what would be the synonym
language I can use you always have to be aware of that because this is where it gets tricky.
A lot of students will look at will look at this sentence where they see WWE that New Zealand dot com
and then they would choose an answer they would choose an answer of not given because they don't say
anything about itineraries in that sentence.
But one thing that I am always aware of is that they love to use sin in their language.
So actually there are centers where you see the Web site that is a good sentence but what I'm going
to do also is I I have to tell you now see what I'm talking about.
When you look at the correct sentence you have a sentence there.
OK.
But look in this next paragraph down here decides what to communicate.
And you see right here
you have the Web site and the word itineraries
both mentioned together right web site and they were mentioned together.
So actually right here in this sentence right here is where you are going to find number eight right
number eight is actually located right here.
As for number eight is located in their centers right there where it has as the site developed and also
the word itinerary.
All right.
Now I know that's a really really tricky and that's really not nice of them to do that because they
give you the dough though.
W.W. dot right there.
But both of these services have the Web site here.
Here they are using Solanum language here they're using direct language.
OK.
So now right here we see 26 right here is 26 percent.
So right here is number nine right now.
Remember in the in the course.
One thing that I teach you guys in the course.
One thing I teach you guys in the course is that this question goes in order.
Right so if Number nine is right here
is why sometimes if your if your audio is breaking or you're having trouble with your audio it could
be a problem with your connection.
In terms of your web site connection that's the reason why I don't use video.
Also because you have to be able to have a really good strong connection or sometimes it can break or
be break or break up.
But if you're having trouble don't don't worry about it because I am recording it and you will be able
to watch it again.
OK.
All right.
