1
00:00:01,980 --> 00:00:10,350
‫And this lesson will be focusing on strategies to answer truthfully, not given questions, so let's

2
00:00:10,350 --> 00:00:13,920
‫take a look at the basics of this question type.

3
00:00:15,270 --> 00:00:23,760
‫I can say with 99 percent certainty that you will see this question in your ELT's reading test, so

4
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:28,710
‫it's very important that you have a full understanding of this question type.

5
00:00:28,920 --> 00:00:33,300
‫And take a look at a few examples before we do a practice test.

6
00:00:34,380 --> 00:00:39,060
‫Many students find this question confusing or difficult.

7
00:00:39,570 --> 00:00:46,560
‫It's mainly due to understanding the meaning of the terms, true or false, not given.

8
00:00:46,830 --> 00:00:53,310
‫And in this lesson, I'm going to thoroughly explain each of these terms and show you some examples

9
00:00:53,310 --> 00:00:55,170
‫of this question type.

10
00:00:56,400 --> 00:01:03,900
‫As with some other questions, that answers will be found in order of the given passage in your test.

11
00:01:04,300 --> 00:01:09,090
‫So let's move on to a fuller explanation of three.

12
00:01:10,670 --> 00:01:18,890
‫Here is a reading passage that we saw in an earlier video, and I'm going to make a true statement about

13
00:01:18,890 --> 00:01:21,300
‫the information in the passage.

14
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:29,870
‫Now, it's really important that we only consider the information in the text and the passage, not

15
00:01:30,050 --> 00:01:31,920
‫from your experience.

16
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:37,790
‫So here is a true statement that I can see is given to me in the passage.

17
00:01:38,450 --> 00:01:41,330
‫PPY is located in Thailand.

18
00:01:41,810 --> 00:01:43,730
‫The answer to this would be true.

19
00:01:43,730 --> 00:01:52,310
‫It is because in the first sentence we can see the island resort is located in Play Island in Thailand.

20
00:01:53,210 --> 00:02:01,550
‫Even though I know from experience this is true, I can only answer with the information in the alts

21
00:02:01,550 --> 00:02:02,780
‫reading passage.

22
00:02:04,540 --> 00:02:11,620
‫So once again, this statement is true, not because I know it from experience, but because it is given

23
00:02:11,620 --> 00:02:13,360
‫to me in the passage.

24
00:02:14,290 --> 00:02:20,020
‫Let's take a look at false and here is a statement that is false.

25
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,690
‫PPY consists of four islands.

26
00:02:24,610 --> 00:02:31,030
‫Try and find in the passage where you can see that this information is false and incorrect.

27
00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:38,280
‫Yes, that's correct, PPY consists of six small islands.

28
00:02:39,050 --> 00:02:45,230
‫This statement is false, as the passage clearly says that PPY has six islands.

29
00:02:45,650 --> 00:02:48,940
‫Again, fact checked the passage.

30
00:02:49,220 --> 00:02:53,930
‫So you want to check the facts between the statement and the text in the passage.

31
00:02:54,860 --> 00:02:56,810
‫Let's have a look at not given.

32
00:02:57,860 --> 00:03:06,440
‫So here, this statement will want to say something that is completely undiscussed in the passage the

33
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:09,180
‫island is developing rapidly.

34
00:03:10,190 --> 00:03:11,810
‫Now, this might be true.

35
00:03:11,810 --> 00:03:17,700
‫And in actual fact, having visited this island, I know that it is developing rapidly.

36
00:03:17,960 --> 00:03:23,390
‫However, the text in the passage does not give this information to us.

37
00:03:23,630 --> 00:03:26,300
‫Therefore, the answer is not given.

38
00:03:26,900 --> 00:03:35,570
‫The not given answer is really a test of your full understanding of the key points in the passage.

39
00:03:36,950 --> 00:03:42,980
‫So let's take a look at a full strategy for answering this question tonight with a different reading

40
00:03:42,980 --> 00:03:44,450
‫passage site.

41
00:03:44,690 --> 00:03:46,490
‫Here is a new reading passage.

42
00:03:46,490 --> 00:03:50,910
‫You can pause the video and read it through, and I'll give you a little bit of time now.

43
00:03:51,290 --> 00:03:58,640
‫It's also worth saying that in your Eilts reading test, the reading passage you get will be much longer

44
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:00,420
‫than what you can see here.

45
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:04,100
‫This is an example of a smaller selection of it.

46
00:04:04,610 --> 00:04:11,330
‫So take some time now to read through this passage and then I'll give you some tips on strategies for

47
00:04:11,330 --> 00:04:13,580
‫answering upcoming questions.

48
00:04:37,340 --> 00:04:41,610
‫OK, if you need any more time, then please do pause the video.

49
00:04:41,930 --> 00:04:47,510
‫Let's take a look at a strategy for answering true false, not given questions.

50
00:04:48,170 --> 00:04:58,130
‫So first you will want to read the statements carefully, then skim and scan over the text for related

51
00:04:58,130 --> 00:05:00,290
‫keywords and information.

52
00:05:00,740 --> 00:05:05,230
‫Your understanding of synonyms, again, will be very useful to you.

53
00:05:06,230 --> 00:05:14,650
‫Compare the information in the statements to that in the passage and answer true, false or not given

54
00:05:15,170 --> 00:05:22,490
‫so we can read the statements carefully, underlining key information if you need, then skim and scan

55
00:05:22,490 --> 00:05:25,880
‫through the text again, underlining key words.

56
00:05:26,240 --> 00:05:31,550
‫Return to the statements and see if you can answer with a true false or not given.

57
00:05:32,300 --> 00:05:40,370
‫So here are some questions that I would like you to have a go at for this reading passage questions

58
00:05:40,370 --> 00:05:41,240
‫one to four.

59
00:05:41,540 --> 00:05:49,250
‫Do the following statements agree with the information given in the text in boxes one to four on your

60
00:05:49,250 --> 00:05:50,150
‫answer sheet.

61
00:05:50,210 --> 00:05:50,600
‫Right.

62
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:51,120
‫True.

63
00:05:51,140 --> 00:05:52,610
‫False not given.

64
00:05:53,180 --> 00:05:55,640
‫And here are your four statements.

65
00:05:56,450 --> 00:05:59,240
‫Due to lack of money, William had to leave school.

66
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:03,590
‫William found an old science book at high school.

67
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:12,080
‫From a young age, William could speak more than four languages, and he studied physics mostly from

68
00:06:12,080 --> 00:06:14,060
‫photos and diagrams.

69
00:06:15,230 --> 00:06:23,060
‫Now, I would like you to pause the video and reasonably quickly try and answer truthfully, not given

70
00:06:23,060 --> 00:06:29,510
‫for these four statements, please pause the video now and then I will go through the answers with you.

71
00:06:34,040 --> 00:06:41,960
‫OK, let's take a look at the first statement now, as I said before, is very important to underline

72
00:06:41,960 --> 00:06:45,050
‫key information in this statement and passage.

73
00:06:45,380 --> 00:06:49,940
‫Say for number one, I've underlined money and leave school.

74
00:06:50,270 --> 00:06:56,060
‫I could have also underlined William, but the name is repeated often throughout the text.

75
00:06:56,330 --> 00:06:59,420
‫So let's take a look for the first mention of school.

76
00:06:59,660 --> 00:07:03,260
‫And I've highlighted it in blue in the first statement.

77
00:07:03,770 --> 00:07:10,190
‫I've also highlighted fees, which is a synonym for money or a related piece of language.

78
00:07:10,790 --> 00:07:18,770
‫So I know that in this first sentence I will find my answer and the answer is true as his father could

79
00:07:18,770 --> 00:07:21,180
‫not afford to send him to school.

80
00:07:21,890 --> 00:07:29,030
‫So here are the rest of the answers with highlighted or underlined key words in information.

81
00:07:31,350 --> 00:07:38,340
‫Take some time to look through what the key words are that I highlighted and take some more time to

82
00:07:38,340 --> 00:07:42,390
‫read through the passage and check your answers against mine.

83
00:07:43,350 --> 00:07:50,940
‫So the strategy is read the statements, skim and scan the passage and return to the statements for

84
00:07:50,940 --> 00:07:51,600
‫answers.

85
00:07:52,570 --> 00:07:57,410
‫If you've got any questions, please do drop me a message and I will see you in the next ELT's.

86
00:07:57,420 --> 00:07:58,530
‫Reading questions.

87
00:07:58,530 --> 00:08:00,000
‫Strategy lesson.
