WEBVTT 00:03.850 --> 00:04.720 OK. 00:05.120 --> 00:07.770 Thank you everybody for joining me today. 00:09.560 --> 00:18.950 In this live class this live class is a reading comprehension class and this class is going to focus 00:18.950 --> 00:26.200 on the yes no not given question I'm not going to be addressing the headings question or the sentence 00:26.200 --> 00:30.320 completion question or any other type of question today. 00:30.550 --> 00:36.480 The only question that I'm addressing is the yes no not given question the reason why I'm addressing 00:36.480 --> 00:46.570 this question is this question along with the Along with the headings question and sometimes the summary 00:46.570 --> 00:52.360 question are some of the more difficult questions for students to manage. 00:52.840 --> 00:53.680 And so 00:56.400 --> 01:01.960 and so I am going to address the rest on a given question today. 01:02.400 --> 01:09.660 And then in another live class on another day I will specifically address the headings question in a 01:09.660 --> 01:19.140 live class and then on another day I will specifically address the summary question in a live class. 01:19.140 --> 01:22.220 All right so let's go ahead and get started. 01:22.620 --> 01:31.650 And if you have any questions if you have any questions along the way please make sure you type your 01:31.650 --> 01:37.230 question and I'll be sure to answer that question for you. 01:37.620 --> 01:38.460 OK. 01:38.940 --> 01:39.440 All right. 01:39.480 --> 01:47.310 So before I get started Does anybody have any questions about the on given question if you do type your 01:47.310 --> 01:53.950 question in the chat box and I will definitely definitely do my best to answer your question. 01:54.050 --> 01:54.710 OK. 02:03.430 --> 02:03.690 All right. 02:03.700 --> 02:04.270 So 02:06.910 --> 02:12.100 when we're talking about the Yes don't give in question before we even get into that. 02:12.100 --> 02:12.980 Let's look at this. 02:13.000 --> 02:22.010 I have a we've got to look at something real basic level OK on a real basic level we're going to take 02:22.010 --> 02:24.020 a look at something right. 02:24.080 --> 02:24.650 So 02:41.490 --> 02:41.750 right. 02:41.760 --> 02:47.730 So the first question I'm asking is how many tests are within the reading section. 02:47.730 --> 02:55.680 Now what I mean by that actually and me rephrase this question now how many. 02:55.720 --> 02:57.320 That's that's what I want to say. 02:58.110 --> 03:02.130 This is what I want to say. 03:05.410 --> 03:09.960 What is being tested for in the reading section. 03:09.970 --> 03:19.620 And this is a really really important question because actually for the reading section of the eyeless 03:19.660 --> 03:23.570 exam they are actually two things you're being tested on. 03:23.860 --> 03:32.830 There are today two things we're being tested on first and you're being tested or is scanning and skimming. 03:32.900 --> 03:36.200 The second thing you're being tested on is comprehension 03:38.780 --> 03:39.210 right. 03:39.260 --> 03:46.960 Everybody most everybody because it's not good to use extreme language but most most students and even 03:47.030 --> 03:54.170 a lot of tutors will always say reading comprehension we have to do reading comprehension and the the 03:54.170 --> 03:56.150 exam for the Isles. 03:56.270 --> 03:58.030 It involves two parts. 03:58.420 --> 03:59.170 OK. 03:59.330 --> 03:59.900 It evolves. 03:59.900 --> 04:07.400 There are two things they're testing two things they are testing your ability to scan skim and scan 04:07.400 --> 04:14.330 specific information scan for specific information and then they're testing how well do you comprehend 04:14.330 --> 04:15.790 that information. 04:15.950 --> 04:16.790 Right. 04:16.820 --> 04:19.180 So there are two things. 04:19.400 --> 04:25.260 And what I find is that a lot of students don't work on the first part. 04:25.610 --> 04:25.910 Right. 04:25.910 --> 04:28.380 The first part which is scanning and skimming. 04:28.970 --> 04:35.280 And then I have a lot of people that tell me sometimes well I can't get finished in time. 04:35.340 --> 04:38.980 I'm not I'm not I'm not going fast enough I can't get finished in time. 04:39.790 --> 04:44.200 What that means is that you have to work on the first part more. 04:44.200 --> 04:50.320 Being able to skim and scan quickly being able to find the specific information whether it's a question 04:50.320 --> 04:54.810 of goals in order or a question that doesn't go in order. 04:54.850 --> 04:58.320 You have to be able to scan and scan for information. 04:58.750 --> 05:04.660 So if you want to do good on that if you don't want to do well on reading comprehension you have to 05:04.660 --> 05:10.030 be good at both things they're testing on scanning and comprehension. 05:10.030 --> 05:13.100 If you do that you'll see a lot of improvement. 05:13.270 --> 05:15.860 And also you will save a lot of time. 05:16.170 --> 05:16.760 OK. 05:16.960 --> 05:25.850 So before I got into the test on that given question I wanted to address that first so that people kind 05:25.850 --> 05:29.380 of understand what they have to really work on for the exam. 05:29.640 --> 05:30.500 OK. 05:34.130 --> 05:35.150 All right. 05:35.150 --> 05:39.500 So there's nothing about yes no not given 06:04.520 --> 06:05.290 right. 06:05.300 --> 06:10.190 So it depends on the question sometimes you'll say yes sometimes they'll say true sometimes you'll say 06:10.220 --> 06:12.160 no sometimes you'll say falls. 06:12.370 --> 06:16.380 That is always God given right but it's always true false not given or. 06:16.400 --> 06:16.670 Yes. 06:16.670 --> 06:17.830 No not given. 06:18.030 --> 06:19.410 Well OK. 06:19.510 --> 06:20.900 All right. 06:22.370 --> 06:28.540 So I'm going to give a little bit of definition to what true means and I'm going to try that. 06:28.540 --> 06:30.380 I'm going to try. 06:30.910 --> 06:32.970 I want to try to give a simple definition. 06:33.120 --> 06:36.960 Ok just so we can make sure we really understand them on a basic level. 06:51.130 --> 07:12.640 We're located in the matching. 07:15.200 --> 07:15.880 Right. 07:16.160 --> 07:19.150 That's a that's a that's a good definition of true. 07:19.280 --> 07:23.720 All the central parts of the question are located in the magic centers in the passage. 07:23.720 --> 07:29.980 Nothing has changed altered or left out right. 07:30.090 --> 07:34.000 That's that's basically what surely is. 07:34.010 --> 07:34.330 All right. 07:34.340 --> 07:37.420 So we talk about false or not or no. 08:33.820 --> 08:35.120 All are false. 08:35.140 --> 08:40.690 There are parts of the question nouns verbs and verbs that are different change or opposite in the matching 08:40.690 --> 08:42.550 senses of the passage. 08:42.670 --> 08:42.970 Right. 08:42.970 --> 08:45.240 You're always comparing. 08:45.520 --> 08:52.280 You're always comparing the question to the passage not the passage to the question. 08:52.750 --> 08:58.990 The question to the passage it's a one way comparison OK. 08:59.140 --> 10:01.820 So it's very important that you understand that it is a one way comparison. 10:02.260 --> 10:13.840 All right. 10:13.990 --> 10:15.890 Now we got your message. 10:15.930 --> 10:18.280 I'll take a look at that later on. 10:18.280 --> 10:18.600 All right. 10:18.610 --> 10:25.870 So when you look at these definitions of true false and not given our Yes no and not given. 10:25.870 --> 10:34.660 Does anybody have any questions about the definition or definitions or the definitions clear for most 10:34.660 --> 10:35.620 people. 10:35.800 --> 10:43.090 The definitions are pretty clear where people get in trouble is with the application of the death of 10:43.090 --> 10:44.680 the definitions. 10:44.680 --> 10:49.010 That's where most people get in trouble is with the application of the definitions. 10:49.270 --> 10:56.470 And so that's actually what we're going to be working on today is working on that application and making 10:56.470 --> 10:58.960 sure that we can do it correctly. 10:58.960 --> 10:59.250 All right. 10:59.260 --> 11:05.460 So let's look at our first reading passage or you'll see it will come on your screen. 11:05.470 --> 11:05.790 So 11:09.200 --> 11:11.720 have a little bit of a cold today. 11:24.260 --> 11:24.620 All right. 11:24.650 --> 11:29.250 So here's our first passage right. 11:29.770 --> 11:38.480 And when we look at it first thing we do is go down to the questions here and we have our true false 11:38.500 --> 11:43.560 not giving questions right now. 11:43.610 --> 11:46.410 As I teach you during the course. 11:46.730 --> 11:54.890 One thing that I like to do is I like to try to find the questions that are going to be maybe the easiest 11:54.890 --> 12:00.470 to do first right which questions are going to be the easiest to do first. 12:00.950 --> 12:06.670 So when we look at these which questions do you guys think are the easiest to do first. 12:08.980 --> 12:11.080 You can type in the box and let me know. 12:16.880 --> 12:20.430 What level of. 12:20.450 --> 12:22.260 Hold on hold on. 12:22.310 --> 12:24.190 I should be more specific. 12:24.230 --> 12:26.290 Tell me which question and why. 12:26.300 --> 12:27.300 Why is it. 12:27.380 --> 12:32.050 Why is it a good one to start with what and why which and why. 12:36.470 --> 12:37.650 Well good good. 12:37.650 --> 12:38.270 There we go. 12:38.280 --> 12:39.520 Thank you. 12:39.520 --> 12:39.840 All right. 12:39.900 --> 12:47.970 So some people have told me number one is really good because it has a 12:51.020 --> 12:52.550 because it has a Web site 12:57.020 --> 13:04.860 as it has a Web site so number one is actually really good to use. 13:05.200 --> 13:08.020 I'm trying to do something if I can do it. 13:08.020 --> 13:09.540 Number one is really good to use. 13:09.550 --> 13:20.230 And number 10 is really good because it has 26 percent they are the order of New Zealand the word New 13:20.230 --> 13:25.740 Zealand is not really good because New Zealand is everywhere. 13:27.090 --> 13:29.290 Right you've got to see New Zealand everywhere. 13:29.550 --> 13:36.620 And so we wouldn't choose we wouldn't choose New Zealand as a possibility. 13:39.350 --> 13:40.060 All right. 13:44.470 --> 14:48.060 Everybody give me one moment please. 14:48.530 --> 14:49.160 OK. 14:49.160 --> 14:49.770 Sorry about that. 14:49.790 --> 14:50.030 Yes. 14:50.030 --> 14:52.330 So number eight and number 10. 14:52.340 --> 14:53.600 Ali I agree with you guys. 14:53.600 --> 14:55.460 I like both of those. 14:55.460 --> 14:56.020 All right. 14:56.150 --> 15:06.220 So when we look at when we look at number when we look at number eight the keywords in them rate of 15:06.220 --> 15:08.450 course that Web site. 15:09.370 --> 15:16.780 And then also another key word is the word itineraries because that's what it's about. 15:16.780 --> 15:23.200 So if I were scanning I'd be looking for the Web site which is right in which Google is good and also 15:23.200 --> 15:26.980 looking at the word itineraries for Number 10. 15:26.980 --> 15:31.480 I would definitely be looking for the number 26 which is very easy to find also. 15:31.960 --> 15:34.100 So let's start with Ole's first. 15:34.210 --> 15:44.420 OK let's start with those fires. 15:45.010 --> 15:45.590 OK. 15:45.620 --> 15:52.560 So right here in this first paragraph right here we see the Web site 15:55.340 --> 15:55.960 right. 15:56.010 --> 15:57.310 There's the Web site right there 16:00.900 --> 16:01.380 right. 16:01.390 --> 16:03.440 The website is right there now. 16:03.730 --> 16:10.600 Now we have to be one thing we have to be careful with is when we look at this sentence. 16:10.640 --> 16:18.880 All right we look at the sentence where we're looking for the website address but also I've always tried 16:18.880 --> 16:25.920 to tell you guys that she has to be aware of sin and Emerling right aware of sin them language. 16:26.020 --> 16:38.470 So if if I were to use a synonym language for this for this www.youtube.com what would be the synonym 16:38.470 --> 16:45.430 language I can use you always have to be aware of that because this is where it gets tricky. 16:45.460 --> 16:52.010 A lot of students will look at will look at this sentence where they see WWE that New Zealand dot com 16:52.810 --> 16:59.070 and then they would choose an answer they would choose an answer of not given because they don't say 16:59.080 --> 17:02.380 anything about itineraries in that sentence. 17:02.620 --> 17:10.210 But one thing that I am always aware of is that they love to use sin in their language. 17:10.210 --> 17:18.430 So actually there are centers where you see the Web site that is a good sentence but what I'm going 17:18.430 --> 17:22.210 to do also is I I have to tell you now see what I'm talking about. 17:22.240 --> 17:25.660 When you look at the correct sentence you have a sentence there. 17:25.780 --> 17:27.020 OK. 17:28.570 --> 17:34.920 But look in this next paragraph down here decides what to communicate. 17:35.560 --> 17:37.160 And you see right here 17:42.930 --> 17:48.380 you have the Web site and the word itineraries 17:52.650 --> 17:57.840 both mentioned together right web site and they were mentioned together. 17:57.990 --> 18:10.650 So actually right here in this sentence right here is where you are going to find number eight right 18:10.650 --> 18:13.580 number eight is actually located right here. 18:14.180 --> 18:20.550 As for number eight is located in their centers right there where it has as the site developed and also 18:20.550 --> 18:23.030 the word itinerary. 18:23.030 --> 18:23.450 All right. 18:23.450 --> 18:28.790 Now I know that's a really really tricky and that's really not nice of them to do that because they 18:28.790 --> 18:30.720 give you the dough though. 18:30.720 --> 18:33.860 W.W. dot right there. 18:34.070 --> 18:38.570 But both of these services have the Web site here. 18:38.640 --> 18:42.990 Here they are using Solanum language here they're using direct language. 18:43.280 --> 18:43.940 OK. 18:49.680 --> 18:57.120 So now right here we see 26 right here is 26 percent. 18:57.520 --> 19:02.720 So right here is number nine right now. 19:02.890 --> 19:05.320 Remember in the in the course. 19:05.560 --> 19:08.580 One thing that I teach you guys in the course. 19:08.590 --> 19:14.600 One thing I teach you guys in the course is that this question goes in order. 19:14.830 --> 19:17.370 Right so if Number nine is right here 19:21.990 --> 19:27.940 is why sometimes if your if your audio is breaking or you're having trouble with your audio it could 19:27.940 --> 19:29.830 be a problem with your connection. 19:31.640 --> 19:35.860 In terms of your web site connection that's the reason why I don't use video. 19:36.080 --> 19:46.490 Also because you have to be able to have a really good strong connection or sometimes it can break or 19:46.490 --> 19:48.550 be break or break up. 19:48.680 --> 19:55.370 But if you're having trouble don't don't worry about it because I am recording it and you will be able 19:55.370 --> 19:56.230 to watch it again. 19:56.270 --> 19:57.220 OK. 19:57.740 --> 19:58.050 All right.
