All right.
So the date is April 25th, and this is a live listening class for the exam.
This live listening class covers the general and the academic exams because as you know, the general
and academic exams cover the exact same material.
As I stated in the announcement.
This is going to be from Cambridge, book number 13.
And I'm going through test number two.
And and if you have any questions during the class, please.
If you have any questions during the class, please keep your questions or type your questions in the
chat box.
And also, please keep your microphone on mute.
Keep your microphone on mute.
All right.
Because if you do that, I can have a really clean recording and I can upload the I can upload it into
the class.
If you cannot keep your microphone on mute, then I will be forced to remove you from the class because
that is a disturbance and a distraction and you have to be able to control that.
All right.
So I'm going to go through just a little bit of brief information and then we're going to get directly
into the into the listening.
The way it's going to work is I'm going to play it.
I'm going to be going through answering and then I'll be reviewing the answer choices.
I'll be going over the different types of tricks or the different types of traps that they are using
to disguise or high.
Where they answer is because a lot of students are not clear that the listening for dials is just not
is not direct.
Right.
There are certain things that they're doing to hide or disguise when the answers are, say it.
And once you know that and you know how to spot that, then normally you'll be okay.
And so that's really, really important to understand.
All right.
So let's go ahead and get started.
As you know, for the listening, there are different question types.
You, of course, have your field to blame traditional questions.
You have map questions, you have a table question.
We have a matching multiple choice question or you have different types of questions that you have to
do.
And in the course, I cover all these different types of questions.
Um, in section number one.
Section number one is the easiest section.
It's very, very direct.
They still try to trick you and fool you in section number one.
But when you're when you're dealing with section number one, your goal should be in section number
one to really get none wrong.
Maximum.
Just get one wrong in section number one because you have to if you're planning on getting a score over
a seven, that's what I'm talking about.
In Section number two, it gets progressively a little bit more difficult in section number two, a
little bit more difficult in section number two.
Right.
Everyone, please keep your microphone mute.
It's a very simple request to keep your microphone mute.
All right.
And now in section number three.
Now, when the Section one and two are almost the same difficulty level, when you get to section number
three, that's when you make the big jump.
And when I say you make the big jump, the question types don't change.
It still filled.
The blank is still multiple choice.
The question types don't change.
What changes is the length of the question?
The length of the question in terms of how many words are in the question and the length of the answer
choices.
Also, the worries that you have to be able to spell become more difficult.
And then, of course, when you get to section number four, again, question type doesn't change.
Primarily, section number four is a field of blank question.
However, you can see you can see multiple choice questions in Section four also.
And if you're doing the if you're doing the listening to the lectures within the course, you'll see
within Section four, there are different question types that you can encounter.
But I would say probably the majority of the time is going to be filled the blank.
Now for most students, they handle sections one and two fairly well.
Section three, they handle okay.
Normally a Section three or four, which is what really determines your score.
Section three or four really, really determines your score.
And and so if you really are trying to practice and get better, you want to try your best to master
sections three and four.
All right.
So we have these different question types.
I'm going to run through this really, really quickly.
Right.
This is the traditional field of question type.
You also have a map kind of question.
Right.
And with map questions, they are they're fairly straightforward, but you have to really know your
directional language.
Left, right, northeast, around the bend, in the corner, you have to know your directional language
very well for that type of field.
The blank question.
And then you have your multiple choice question types.
You have your standard multiple choice question, ABC and this question type can appear in all sections
section one, two, three and four.
You also have this type of multiple choice question where you have to pick two answer choices.
You have the big two answer choices.
And it doesn't matter if it's ANC, if, if, for example, if the answers are ANC, it doesn't matter
on your answer sheet.
If you put A then C or C, then eh, it doesn't matter.
And then finally you have this type of multiple choice question where you have multiple choice selections
in a box and you have the questions below and you have to choose A, B or C as the match for that for
that particular question.
Right.
Okay.
So coming up next, we're going to go ahead and get into Cambridge Isle to book number 13.
I'll be going through test number two in the listening part.
I'm going to try to get through most of it.
Hopefully I can within the time constrictions that I have to deal with.
I'm going to try to get through most of it.
It depends on how many questions there are afterwards and things like that that determines how much
I can get through.
All right.
Now, before I go on to the next thing, does anyone have any questions at all?
If you have a question, type it in the chat box.
And I will try to answer your question right now before we get started.
Okay.
All right, I have one question.
Let's see.
Sir.
The time duration.
The time duration for what?
Shashank, your question is vague.
The time duration for this class.
This class is limited to a two hour, a two hour time limit.
I should be able to finish up before then.
But like I said, it depends on how many questions people have afterwards and things like that.
How about how fast I can move through it?
But that should be enough time for me to get through it all.
Okay.
All right.
Any other questions?
Yeah.
The multiple choice questions and the map questions are, well, I think the multiple choice question
is difficult because a lot of students don't really know how to do it and they answer the question wrong.
Hopefully after this class today, you have a little bit better understanding of how to really do a
multiple choice question.
MAB questions is really deal with directions.
Really they with directions and if you practice it enough time.
I have a lot of examples of doing math questions in the course and the Udemy course, and it really
just takes practice with doing that.
Okay.
All right.
So let's go ahead and get started.
Omar Jamal is saying, I think there is no there is enough time to to go through the pulling out the
key words in part number three, a part number four, there is enough time.
Right.
And I know there's enough time because there are a lot of students that I teach that get scores of eight
and nine and they're listening and they're able to do it.
So there's enough time.
Whether or not whether or not you're able to do something very often depends on your English ability.
And that's just and that's just an honest statement that I'm making.
Right.
Very often you're because really what you're talking about is I can't process the English fast enough.
Right.
I can't process the English fast enough.
And you have to be able to process English fast enough.
One more question.
Yes, the answers have to be exactly how they say that.
You know, you can't you can't.
I get asked this question all the time.
What if what if I the answer is singular and I write the answer is plural.
Is it wrong?
Yes is going to be wrong because there are very few there are very few exceptions where the answer can
be singular and plural.
It depends on the grammatical structure of the question.
So if you don't put exactly the right thing, then your answer is going to be wrong.
Farouk.
Yes, you could write the answers in all caps on the computer based test.
It doesn't matter.
All caps, all small, doesn't matter.
All right.
So, everybody, I'm going to be starting with section number one.
I'm going to be starting with section number one.
I'm going to play.
