All.
Everyone is great to be with you again.
Thanks for taking this course.
Let's go ahead and get into strategy application number three for the true false not giving question.
So with the true false not giving question in terms of the basic steps, we want to first go through
each question, selecting the keywords and the question.
As you know, there are two types of keywords in the question.
Some keywords help you find the matching sentence, and then other keywords and the question determine
if information is going to be true, false or not given.
And if you've been watching the lectures, you understand the difference by now.
As you know, the most difficult part of doing this question?
Well, equally difficult would be the scanning aspect.
You must be able to quickly scan and find the right sentences.
It's not about reading.
It's about being able to scan for specific details from the question.
And then, of course, equally important, equally as challenging, is your is your being able to determine
yes, no, not given or true?
False, not given.
You must understand the yes means to that information is confirmed.
No means information is contradicted and not given means that there is question information that is
missing from the passage.
Now in terms of keys to success, I'm going to highlight something a little bit that I haven't mentioned
before and I think is really important that I that I go through this, you know, about the twist determiner
language.
And that's what I just got through mentioning previously.
There's some language in every question that the examiner is going to use to determine if something
is true, false or not, given.
I've said that before, so I'm not going to get into that part again.
What I want to talk about here is question creation.
A lot of students don't realize that when an examiner is creating a question, very often they'll pull
information from two sentences to create a question.
So you might be looking at paragraph two, and the examiner is going to pull some language from the
second sentence, some language from the third sentence, and then put that language together to create
a question.
So it's important to understand that.
Very important to understand that, of course, I want you to be able to know the difference between
false and not given.
I mentioned this before, not giving means information is missing.
False means information is contradicted.
If you look at this question and you look at the passage information, you can clearly see that this
is a situation where information is not given.
We don't know if Kofi has a green card or not.
This is not a contradiction.
And don't assume, don't make inferences.
Everybody that gets you in a lot of trouble.
And I don't want you to get in trouble doing that.
So coming up next, we're going to go ahead and do a full passage application, work on scanning and
answer application, which is really, really important.
We're working on a yes no, not given question.
This is coming from Cambridge Book 12, Test five, part two, collecting as a hobby.
So you can go ahead and open up your book so you can work through this with me.
Right here.
We can see the passage, the beginning of the passage on the left.
On the right is the ending of the passage.
And below we have the questions we're going to be answering.
Yes.
No are not given numbers 22 through 26.
So our first step is identifying the keywords.
And as you know, we're doing this under timed conditions, time conditions.
So.
Take out your phone, open up the stopwatch and get ready to set your timers because we're working on
time.
Timed practice is really important that you simulate the exam.
If you do that in practice, then when you take the real exam, you're not going to feel that pressure
as much because you're used to working under that clock pressure.
So on the left, we have the questions numbers 22 through 26 and I want you to identify the keywords.
So open up your book to Cambridge, book 12.
Test five.
Open up your book.
And I want you to stop the lecture.
Set a timer for 45 seconds, and then I want you to identify the keywords in every question in 45 seconds.
I want you to be able to note what keywords will be used to find the matching sentence and what keyword
language will be used to determine if something is true, false, or not given.
So go ahead and stop the lecture.
Set your clock and do that right now.
All right.
So were you able to find the same matching keywords?
As I did.
If you look at number 22, you can see that the matching keywords are buying dials and over the centuries.
The language that the twist language.
The twist language.
And when I say twist, I mean this language is used to twist the question to being true, to being false
or being not given.
So when we find the matching sentence that's talking about buying dolls and over the centuries, we
have to look and see, has this number grown?
Has it not grown?
Or is it missing, whether it's grown or not?
Same thing here.
16th century will help us find the matching sentence.
Met wax and porcelain.
Great language to find the matching sentence.
Now.
Were they normally made of this?
The passage will confirm it was normally made.
Or not normally made or is or is going to be missing whether it was normally made by that or not.
Same thing here.
Great language for finding arranging a stamp collection size of stamps less common.
This is the twist language right here.
This is the language that's being used to determine if something is going to be yes, no or not given.
Collecting unusual objects.
It being unusual.
This is the twist language.
So it's really important that you're able to understand what language will help you find, what language
will help you find the matching sentence and what language that you need to key on to determine if something
is true, false or not given.
Now we're going to work on scanning for the keywords, meaning that we're going to go through the passage
and try to scan and locate the matching sentences.
Now if you're scanning and answering as you find each question.
Then you would just open up your book, set a six minute timer and scan and answer.
We're going to be working on the skill of scanning because I want you to get better at the skill of
scanning.
So what we're going to do is set a three minute timer.
Scan the passage, and we're going to try to locate all of the matching sentences.
And under 3 minutes, we're working on our scanning scale.
And then we're going to answer the questions on the real exam.
You can do it both ways.
You can scan and answer, scan and answer, or you can scan for all the questions and then go ahead
and answer them.
If you want some more information about how to scan, you can really go through these different points
about the scanning process and eye movement.
You'll know you're not reading, but really scanning is a skill and the more you practice it, the better
you're going to get.
So here is our passage.
We have our questions right here, 22 through 26.
Go ahead and look in your book.
Stop the lecture, set your timer for 3 minutes and see if you can find all the matching sentences.
Now, when you look at the questions.
Which ones are easier to look for first?
23 Because it has, what, 16th century that's going to be probably the easiest one to find first.
So I will probably look for number 23/1.
I would know 22 is above that.
And then the remaining questions are below that.
So go ahead and set your clock for 3 minutes, stop the lecture and try to identify all the matching
sentences.
All right.
So I hope that you're able to identify the same sentences that I did.
We can see number 22 is here.
Where it talks about collecting dolls, which is another way of saying buying dolls.
And then in the next sentence, it talks about being changed over the centuries.
So this is an example of what I was talking about earlier.
They took this language collecting Dallas from the first sentence.
They took this language changing over centuries from the second sentence, and they put that information
together in one sentence for number 22.
This is what I was talking about in terms of using different sentences to create one question.
23 is found in the next part of that sentence as 22, where you see the words wax and porcelain in 16th
century.
Number 24 is found down here where it talks about stamp collectors organizing stamps.
Arranging stamps.
So you'll find you will either will be able to determine number 24 from this sentence.
25 is right here where it talks about collecting unusual objects.
All right.
So right here where it talks about individualism, you know, that goes to the point about something
being unusual or specific.
And again, we can see that they have used two sentences, the first two sentences to create one question
for number 25 and then 26 is found down here where it talks about giving a strong sense, that's giving
a feeling.
And then we see personal fulfillment and which is another way of talking about inspiration.
And we're looking for this language to determine true or false or not given.
Now we're going to go ahead and answer the questions.
Remember, we're answering in 3 minutes.
We're timing it in 3 minutes.
We have already scanned found the matching sentences.
Now, let's go ahead and answer these questions in under 3 minutes.
All right, so go ahead and stop the lecture right here.
Set your clock for 3 minutes.
Open your book and answer questions.
23, 22 through 26.
So did you find the correct answers?
Let's check and see.
For number 22, the answer is not given.
23 is false.
24 is not given.
25 is true.
26 is true for number 22.
When we look at the information about collecting dolls over the centuries, we see nothing that tells
us whether this has grown or not grown.
We don't know.
We don't know if it's if this has grown or not grown.
We have no idea.
They don't tell us.
So the answer is not given.
So number 25 is true.
And we can see that right here.
It says one reason.
One reason someone chooses to collect is to show their individualism.
That information is confirmed where it says Someone who collects on you unusual objects wants other
people to think they also are unusual.
Right.
So this is true.
This is this information is true.
We see collecting something unexpected.
That's where they got this information from.
That first sentence tells us that they one reason they do it is to show their individualism or to show
that the show other people or make other people think they're unusual or somehow there's something specific
or individual about them.
So number 25 is true.
That's what makes sometimes a true question tricky is you have to understand paraphrasing.
And then for number 26, it gives a strong defense, a strong sense of personal fulfillment.
So this is true because it says more than most other hobbies.
Right.
That means that it gives a feeling more than other hobbies in terms of inspiration.
So for number 26, we have an answer that is true.
Collecting gives a feeling that other hobbies are unlikely to inspire because it says more than other
hobbies.
More than other hobbies.
And again, this one is tricky because of the wording of it, but this sentence right here confirms
it.
It confirms it.
All right.
So if you want to really go through some of my reasoning in terms of which answers you may have gotten
incorrect, you can see my reasoning right here on the left hand side.
So go ahead and you can stop the lecture and read through that if you want to.
Thank you so much for joining me.
As always, thank you for taking this course.
And I'll see you in the next lecture.
