1
00:00:01,670 --> 00:00:08,840
‫We'll now move on to another one of the more common alts reading question types, and that is matching

2
00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:10,050
‫names questions.

3
00:00:10,640 --> 00:00:15,080
‫Let's take a look at the basic information for this question type.

4
00:00:16,130 --> 00:00:23,690
‫So as the name suggests in this question type, you will have to match the name of an academic person

5
00:00:23,690 --> 00:00:26,500
‫against a statement or some information.

6
00:00:27,020 --> 00:00:34,590
‫Now, by saying academic, it is usually a university lecturer or a researcher of some kind.

7
00:00:35,510 --> 00:00:39,290
‫You'll need to scan the passage to locate these names.

8
00:00:39,290 --> 00:00:46,400
‫And as I said previously, in the course of looking out for capital letters will help you quickly identify

9
00:00:46,430 --> 00:00:48,140
‫where proper nouns are.

10
00:00:49,470 --> 00:00:55,770
‫Some of the names of the academic researchers will appear more in the passage than others.

11
00:00:56,220 --> 00:01:02,500
‫It may be that one of the names given to you in your question list only is shown once or twice.

12
00:01:03,090 --> 00:01:09,230
‫That means that it will be easier to locate information for the name that appears less.

13
00:01:09,660 --> 00:01:11,310
‫Where is the name that appears?

14
00:01:11,310 --> 00:01:17,870
‫Often will be difficult to pair with the statement, as you'll have to read through more information.

15
00:01:19,110 --> 00:01:25,590
‫Let's take a look at one of these questions to see what it looks like so numbered.

16
00:01:25,620 --> 00:01:31,670
‫Are your statements and these need to be matched with the list of people which is given below.

17
00:01:32,310 --> 00:01:38,880
‫You'll notice that there are five statements and five names and that will always be the case.

18
00:01:39,150 --> 00:01:45,480
‫You won't have any free names or free statements, which means everything needs to be paired up.

19
00:01:46,260 --> 00:01:48,930
‫I wrote for you a short passage.

20
00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:52,380
‫If you'd like to read through the statement, you can do that now.

21
00:01:53,590 --> 00:01:56,220
‫I'll read through the passage with you.

22
00:01:57,850 --> 00:02:07,540
‫On the 13th of May, 1996, top researchers in global education met to discuss key characteristics in

23
00:02:07,540 --> 00:02:12,100
‫children who achieve well in schools, shout.

24
00:02:12,230 --> 00:02:21,550
‫A famous researcher from Norway suggested that help given from a close family network was a major factor

25
00:02:21,550 --> 00:02:23,890
‫in gifted children's progress.

26
00:02:25,060 --> 00:02:31,510
‫So before we go on to match the name with this statement, it's worth saying that the passage here is

27
00:02:31,510 --> 00:02:37,270
‫obviously a lot shorter than what you will see in your child's reading test.

28
00:02:38,050 --> 00:02:44,890
‫So going back to the short example passage I've written for you, we can see the name Lieshout, a famous

29
00:02:44,890 --> 00:02:46,590
‫researcher from Norway.

30
00:02:47,110 --> 00:02:53,190
‫He suggests that help given from a family network helps children progress.

31
00:02:53,500 --> 00:02:59,720
‫So have a look at the statements and the names and try and match the number with the letter.

32
00:03:00,190 --> 00:03:02,350
‫I'll give you some time to do that now.

33
00:03:16,630 --> 00:03:21,420
‫OK, so if you need any more time, then please pause the video.

34
00:03:21,430 --> 00:03:29,050
‫Now, I'm going to highlight the key words in the number, which is 21 and of course, that matches

35
00:03:29,050 --> 00:03:31,150
‫with C, which is Lieshout.

36
00:03:31,450 --> 00:03:36,650
‫So the answer is C and 21 are the matched statements and nine.

37
00:03:37,390 --> 00:03:43,540
‫Now, as you would do, as I've often said in your strategies, you can underline key words both in

38
00:03:43,540 --> 00:03:46,490
‫the statements, your questions and the passage.

39
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:51,720
‫So in twenty one, I've underlined support and close relatives.

40
00:03:52,270 --> 00:03:55,540
‫What kind of synonyms could you get from the passage for that?

41
00:03:56,290 --> 00:03:57,970
‫Well, here we have it.

42
00:03:58,420 --> 00:04:05,200
‫Help is a synonym for support and family network is a synonym for close relatives or relatives.

43
00:04:05,830 --> 00:04:12,610
‫By looking at the synonyms and the key language used, comparing the statement against the passage,

44
00:04:12,760 --> 00:04:14,540
‫I can find the answer.

45
00:04:15,370 --> 00:04:18,970
‫Let's have a look at the strategy for matching names questions.

46
00:04:20,500 --> 00:04:23,260
‫As always, identify the question type.

47
00:04:23,980 --> 00:04:31,540
‫Read the statement fairly quickly, underline names in the statements and the passage.

48
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:38,320
‫Once you've done that, read quickly around the name to understand key information.

49
00:04:38,530 --> 00:04:41,890
‫And whilst you're doing that, have synonyms in your head.

50
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:48,550
‫Return to the statements and check if the information matches the passages.

51
00:04:49,980 --> 00:04:55,860
‫Once you've done that, return back to the statements in the passage and eliminate from the easiest

52
00:04:55,860 --> 00:04:56,720
‫to the hardest.

53
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:02,310
‫So that brings us to the end of this question strategy lesson.

54
00:05:02,820 --> 00:05:09,540
‫As I said plenty of times in the course, if you want more of this lesson type, then please do comment

55
00:05:09,540 --> 00:05:10,980
‫in the Q&A section.

56
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:11,900
‫So you.
