1 00:00:02,710 --> 00:00:10,570 ‫We're now going to move on to our final question strategy lesson, which is on matching information 2 00:00:10,570 --> 00:00:18,310 ‫to paragraphs, I'll say from the start that this question type often gets confused with matching headings 3 00:00:18,310 --> 00:00:22,810 ‫to paragraphs, but there are some subtle differences that you should know. 4 00:00:23,680 --> 00:00:26,670 ‫Let's take a look at the basics of this question type. 5 00:00:27,850 --> 00:00:34,180 ‫So as you may be able to guess in this question, you will need to match statements to paragraphs. 6 00:00:35,050 --> 00:00:41,020 ‫The statement will relate only to a very short piece of the paragraph. 7 00:00:41,380 --> 00:00:45,180 ‫It could be a sentence or a short key phrase. 8 00:00:46,300 --> 00:00:54,180 ‫These statements could be descriptions, fact, explanations or anything else you can think of. 9 00:00:54,610 --> 00:00:59,710 ‫The statements will simply relate to a short part of the paragraph. 10 00:01:01,060 --> 00:01:07,990 ‫Regardless of what the statement is, the skull remains very much the same, simply matching the statement 11 00:01:07,990 --> 00:01:08,980 ‫to the paragraph. 12 00:01:10,150 --> 00:01:18,220 ‫Let's take a look at an example of this question time, so from the instructions sample passage seven 13 00:01:18,220 --> 00:01:21,180 ‫has eight paragraphs labeled eight to hate. 14 00:01:21,370 --> 00:01:25,810 ‫You can see the passage paragraphs will be labeled for you. 15 00:01:26,410 --> 00:01:33,640 ‫Underneath the instructions are our six questions or statements that need to be matched with the short 16 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:35,380 ‫parts of the paragraph. 17 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:45,290 ‫Let's take a look at an easy example of one of these question types that you can complete, I've continued 18 00:01:45,290 --> 00:01:49,030 ‫on from the passage that I used in the last lesson. 19 00:01:49,820 --> 00:01:53,600 ‫Let's take a quick read through the two paragraphs together. 20 00:01:54,290 --> 00:02:03,290 ‫On the 13th of May 1996, top researchers in global education met to discuss key characteristics in 21 00:02:03,290 --> 00:02:05,830 ‫children who achieve well in schools. 22 00:02:06,500 --> 00:02:14,120 ‫And Lieshout, a famous researcher from Norway, suggested that help given from a close family network 23 00:02:14,300 --> 00:02:18,420 ‫was the biggest factor in gifted children's progress. 24 00:02:19,190 --> 00:02:24,520 ‫However, not all attendees agreed with Lieshout on further discussion. 25 00:02:24,710 --> 00:02:33,560 ‫Many academics argued that feedback and discussions about progress played the largest role in academic 26 00:02:33,560 --> 00:02:34,300 ‫progression. 27 00:02:35,030 --> 00:02:41,600 ‫Many Western researchers also argued the quality of feedback played a pivotal role. 28 00:02:42,470 --> 00:02:50,480 ‫So that we have our two paragraphs and in each paragraph there are at least two or three pieces of key 29 00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:51,420 ‫information. 30 00:02:52,040 --> 00:02:59,000 ‫I'm now going to show you two statements that I would like you to link into the paragraphs. 31 00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,580 ‫Let's take a look at the statements now. 32 00:03:02,150 --> 00:03:08,390 ‫So, A, how well a teacher shares goals and targets with a student is highly important. 33 00:03:08,660 --> 00:03:16,790 ‫And B, as Summit was held to discuss academic excellence, I would like you to match these statements 34 00:03:16,790 --> 00:03:22,220 ‫with the paragraph and the part of the paragraph that is paired with it. 35 00:03:23,460 --> 00:03:25,950 ‫I'll give you some time to do this now. 36 00:03:47,260 --> 00:03:54,430 ‫OK, if you need some more time, please pause the video, I'll now show you which paragraph and the 37 00:03:54,430 --> 00:03:58,510 ‫part of the paragraph that links to the statements. 38 00:04:01,820 --> 00:04:10,460 ‫So here are our answers Statement A is paired with paragraph two, specifically the last sentence, 39 00:04:10,460 --> 00:04:20,210 ‫but your answer would be A and paragraph to B or statement B links with paragraph one, specifically 40 00:04:20,210 --> 00:04:25,250 ‫the first sentence of paragraph one in your ALT'S reading test. 41 00:04:25,250 --> 00:04:29,970 ‫You will, of course, have more statement and a larger passage to use. 42 00:04:30,590 --> 00:04:38,690 ‫Let's take a quick run through the strategy for matching information to passage questions, identify 43 00:04:38,690 --> 00:04:45,290 ‫the question time, read the statements first and underline key phrases. 44 00:04:45,860 --> 00:04:53,090 ‫At this point, I think it's a great idea to quickly skim read through the whole passage, but don't 45 00:04:53,090 --> 00:04:55,400 ‫spend too much time doing this. 46 00:04:56,270 --> 00:05:01,910 ‫Look for synonyms of the key phrases that you underlined in your statement. 47 00:05:03,340 --> 00:05:10,270 ‫Match their statements against the passage or specifically the lettered paragraphs. 48 00:05:11,530 --> 00:05:16,270 ‫That brings us to the end of our final lesson on question strategies. 49 00:05:16,660 --> 00:05:20,470 ‫If you've got any questions, do you remember to drop me a message?
