Whole everybody.
And today we're going to go through a really great and helpful lecture that you need to be able to do
well on the general reading section.
The key the key for the general reading section and one of the keys is your ability to be able to scan
for synonym language to be able to look at the question pull out the keywords in the question and then
locate and find that matching language in the reading passage.
The better you are being able to do that the more accurate and fast you're going to be answering questions.
Right now today what we're working on is just scanning just being able.
Just trying to get better at scanning and finding keyword language because that type of language helps
point us to the answer.
All right.
So this is something that I want you guys to really work on and really get better at doing.
So after this video where you watch me show you how you create a matching vocabulary chart there are
some practice tests that I have set up for you to be able to do.
Now you need to have the books to be able to work on and do the practice test.
I'm taking these from books 12 and book 13.
So you need to have those books to be able to do the practice test.
I can't give you the books so please don't ask me to do that.
Can't do that.
OK.
But these practice tests are here to help you to get better at your scanning ability.
Eventually what you want to be able to do is after you practice doing a reading passage you really have
to maximize using those reading passages for as much as many different skills as you can.
So after you finish a reading passage why not go back through it again and create a synonym vocabulary
matching charts create matching vocabulary charts.
This will help get you in the habit of being able to locate those write sentences faster because that's
what it's about the OutServe really the aisles reading whether it's General or example where there's
general or academic is about two main things your ability to scan and find the right sentence for the
answers where the answers are coming from and then your ability to comprehend that sentence once you
find it scanning and comprehension.
OK so less so what I've done what I have done is I have poured out the key word language from different
questions and then I'm going to go go through and find the matching language because their matching
language is going to help me point towards the answer.
I'm not about to answer the questions.
That's not what we're doing here.
So please don't ask me.
Can you give us the answers.
That's not what we're doing here.
There are a lot of videos a lot of lecture videos where I go over there and we're in process.
OK right now it's about scanning.
If you have these books then you're welcome to go through the answering process.
But like I say it focus on different skills.
Right now it's all about scanning.
OK.
So as I look at our first one which comes from Cambridge Book Number 12 Test Number 5 section 2 marketing
advice for new businesses.
OK.
So let's have a look
that's our next one.
So
the language came from right here in terms of the language we're looking for will help you
show you how they feel.
Forms of advertising
provide that provide provide as one provide customers.
And this is the field the blank line.
This is the blank question and now there's language we're highlighting is the language that's going
to point to the answer is not necessarily the language that's going to help us find the sentence the
language in the question that helps you find this sentence can be separate from the language that points
to the answer.
OK so you have to understand that and the other one is largely depends on
OK we'll help you
forget these general passages are short so you want to Fahs.
All right.
Look
it pays to do it pays to do a synonym for helps to write so look out how this works.
I said I'm not going to help you.
I'm not going to go through answering right now but I'm going to I'm going to do it just just this one
time to explain the effectiveness of being able to scan for keyword language brei helps too.
It pays to write.
That means the answer right here would be research
write the answer would be research.
But again like I said I'm not I'm just showing you how if you're able to find the matching language
from the question that points to the answer you can get the answer correct 100 percent of the time.
OK.
My next one is show you how to feel.
The question is about a blink of your customers will show you how they feel about something.
All right.
So that's the answer right there a survey of your customers.
But the language I'm looking for that's going to point me to what I want
what they really like is not what I want.
What they really like.
That's the synonym for show you how they feel.
All right forms of advertising I see that one already all forms of advertising.
A blank of forms of advertising will make it more likely a blank forms of advertising.
So if I find the forms of advertising I'm looking for forms of advertising.
Here are our forms of advertising
OK.
We also have another one right here.
The word these.
So we actually have to work for that one.
We have these which is a reference pronoun and we have prent right.
Male Internet there were a few but those are the forms of advertising Envy's is actually a reference
pronoun we were looking for the answer choice the answer choice we mix because it said a blank forms
of advertising a mix of forms of advertising.
I'll pay in sales and using a mix of these they answer would be mix OK.
If we if we were playing all the answers.
I keep saying I'm not going to do that.
So I need to stop.
So I could focus on what we're focusing on.
OK I'm not doing that anymore.
OK.
That's what I want.
I hope no one.
All right.
So the next one
is provide customers with useful something about your business.
Provide customers with
provide customers with
OK this in this sentence write your follow up a transaction take if they're unhappy with the service
and if possible send them updates.
All right.
So provide customers with
send them the answer will be updates.
But that's just and a language which match you should be trying to find.
And then next we're looking for can give you can give you hope.
OK let's go down to the question measuring the effects can give you measuring the effects can give you
said in a language for it can give you hears the language about measuring right here.
Can give you something just when I see it now it's going to be hard for you guys to probably find this
language right here.
Throw up some.
It's almost like slang for can give me the answer would be information but if you can't find that sit
in a book if you can't find a set of them language.
All right.
And then finally we have largely depends on.
All right.
Success in finding new customers largely depends on
Souza's talk about success right here.
Here's our language is your greatest asset Gradus largely
your greatness that's right largely depends on who is your greatest asset.
That means the answer is what everybody reputation that will be reputation.
But you know that's what I'm saying.
If you're able to really find the key word language if you're able to find the key word language you're
not going to have any any problem.
You're not going to have any problem really going through and finding the answer choices.
That's not going to be a problem for you.
All right.
And I think that's actually enough for you get the idea and I'm actually going to leave this next one
blank to give you an opportunity to do it.
And I'm going to have the answer key as a PTF where you can look and check your own answers.
But I have this next one blank so you should try to go ahead to do this next one is from Cambridge book
13 test for Section 3.
Tuning up your leadership skills.
And is from the yes no given question and then in the next three lectures there are three more practice
test where you can practice your scanning ability and finding the matching language in the passage.
Like I said the better you get at doing that the faster and more accurate you're going to be on the
real exam.
OK.
So make sure that you do these other lectures go ahead and do this next one is right below me.
I was going to do it but I think with this first one I've made the point about what I want you to do.
And I'm rather you get an get have an opportunity.
So once you finish it make sure you look at the PD.
So you can look at the answers and then for each of the following practice test the PTF that has the
answers is in there also.
OK.
So everybody good luck worked really hard on this.
I know you can do it.
And after you finished this part then you're going to be ready to be able to really understand the strategy
videos and understand well what I'm doing and the strategy videos.
But this is one of the first skills that you want to work on getting better at doing.
OK.
All right.
So I talk to you soon.
And good luck everybody.
