It's great having you as a part of this course.
Thanks for studying for the exam with us.
Is now time to get into another strategy application lecture for the field of in question.
So let's go ahead and get started right now.
The field of blank question is really easy when it comes to strategy and tactics.
You have to be able to identify the keywords in the question, then scan for those keywords and keep
in mind that they're going to use synonyms and paraphrasing.
But once you have found your matching sentence, then it's about being able to look in that sentence
and identify the correct answer choice.
The way you're able to do that is by looking in the sentence and finding the language that comes before
and after the blank line.
When you find that language, it will point you directly at the answer choice.
So some key points that I really want you to keep in mind and remember, when you're looking at the
matching sentence, don't focus on understanding the entire sentence.
What I want you to do is look at the sentence and just focus on finding the language that comes before
and after the blank line.
They're going to use synonyms and paraphrase that language.
I also want you to know the questions can be created from more than one sentence, and that's important
to understand when it comes to scanning for the language in the question.
So part of the question language may come from sentence two in paragraph two, and part of that language
may come from the third sentence.
In paragraph two, you always write the words exactly as they are in the reading passage.
Don't paraphrase them, don't write synonyms of them, and then always know there are two key word types
and a question.
There's some words in the question that will help you find the matching sentence.
And then there are other words that will point you to the answer choice.
And very soon you'll see what I'm talking about.
So coming up next, we're going to really get into some full passage application where we're going to
go through the scanning process and answer application.
Now, this field of blank question that we're working on comes from Cambridge Book ten, Test three,
Part one.
And it is the reading passage that talks about the scope of tourism.
So go ahead and get your book open, your book up, and you can work right along with me.
All right.
And so on the left side, you see the beginning of the reading passage that I'm going to be working
from.
And on the right side, you can see the end of the passage paragraphs, Daddy.
And down below, we have our field of blank questions, numbers 11 through 13.
So our first step in the process is identifying the keywords, and we're working under time conditions.
Everybody, we're working under time conditions.
So what I need you to do right now is get your cell phone and turn on your stopwatch, and then you're
going to set it for the times that I indicate.
On the left hand side, we have the questions 11, 12 and 13.
So can you identify the key words in the question?
That's what I want you to do.
Can you identify the keywords in each question?
Open up your Cambridge book.
Turn to the reading passage.
I want you to stop the lecture.
Set your timer for 30 seconds, and then I want you to circle or underline the keywords in questions
11 through 13.
Go ahead and stop the lecture right now and do that.
All right.
So you can see here for questions 11 through 13, I have some language that's highlighted in yellow
and other languages highlighted in blue.
And let me explain the difference.
The words highlighted in yellow are going to help me find the key word sentence.
They're going to help me find the key word sentence.
So, for example, in number 11, Greece and tourism.
Number 12, travel, tourism and also Jamaica should be highlighted.
And then also for 13 problems and international tourism, these are the words that are going to help
me find the matching sentence.
I'm going to scan for that language in the reading passage.
That's the language I'm scanning for now.
The words you see in blue.
Most important, the major measurement of those are the words I'm going to look for in the matching
sentence.
So, for example, Greece and tourism will help me find the matching sentence in the passage.
Van, when I look at that sentence, all I'm looking for is the paraphrasing of most important.
That's all I'm looking for.
Once I find the paraphrasing and most important, I find the answer right next to it.
The same thing for number 12.
I'm going to use travel, tourism and Jamaica to find the matching sentence.
Then I will read that and not read the sentence, but really scan through the sentence and find the
language that paraphrases the major.
Once I find that language, I find the answer choice.
So when I talk about two different types of key words, that's what I mean.
You have some words that help you find the matching sentence and then other words that point you to
the answer choice.
So now we're going to go ahead and scan for the matching sentences.
If you are working on this in your book and you want to scan and answer, scan and answer, then you
will set your timer for 5 minutes and then go ahead and answer questions 11 through 13 completely.
What I'm going to do right now is we're going to work on the aspect of scanning.
Scanning is such a critical, critical aspect to doing well on the exam.
And so in the next slide, we're going to go ahead and scan for the matching sentences.
And on the exam, you can do it both ways.
Okay.
So you should have been able to find the matching sentences for numbers 11, 12 and 13 in paragraph
E.
Number 11 is right here in this sentence that starts off, for example, we see the word tourism.
We see the word Greece.
So number 11 must come from this sentence.
Number 12, we see it in the next sentence where it starts with in addition, it says travel and tourism,
and we see also Jamaica.
So the answer for number 12 comes from this sentence.
And then number 13 is in the next sentence where we see the word problems, statistical measurement
and also worldwide tourism, which is a paraphrasing of international tourism.
So everything is right there.
And then once we know where the matching sentences are, then, like I said, we're looking in this
sentence and looking for the paraphrasing.
The most important we're looking for the paraphrasing of the major.
And then for number 13, we're looking for what they're measuring.
Here it is in a little bit bigger font, so you can maybe see it a little bit better.
Now we're going to try to answer the questions in 2 minutes.
Just 2 minutes, because these questions are we only have three questions, 11, 12 and 13.
We already know where the matching sentences are.
So since we know where the matching sentences are located, we can easily look through those sentences
and find our answers.
So set a stopwatch on 2 minutes right now.
So can you find the answers in under 2 minutes?
Look in your book.
Stop the lecture, set your clock for 2 minutes and find the answers for 11, 12 and 13.
So did you select the correct words as answer choices?
Let's see.
Number 11 is source of income.
Number 12 is employer.
And number 13 is domestic tourism.
So for number 11, when you look at this sentence right here, this word major is a paraphrasing of
most important.
So the answer is source of income.
They also would have accepted the word industry as an answer.
Also, I'm not sure why, but apparently that's somewhere in here where they believe that industry is
also an acceptable answer.
But the paraphrase made the word major is a paraphrasing of most important.
And so the answer that I would put is source of income.
For number 12.
We're looking for, again, a paraphrasing of the major.
And here we see number one ranked.
Number one ranked is a paraphrasing of the major.
So the correct answer is employer.
Now, for those of you that don't understand the exam and you said, oh, I see the word major right
there, and there's the word major right there.
So for number 12, I'm going to write the answer as source of income.
Again, keep in mind, it's an English test.
It's an English test.
And they are doing that deliberately to trick you because somebody with a low level of English will
say, well, there's the word major, there's the word major.
So I'm just going to write the word source of income.
Paraphrasing and synonyms.
That's what that's what we're looking for.
For number 13, we're going to measure domestic tourism.
There it is right there, measured domestic domestic tourism.
Now, you might say, well, here they're not really dealing with a synonym or paraphrasing here.
What they're testing is your recognition of word form, that the word measure is a different word form
of the word measurement.
That's what they're testing here.
And so you would write domestic tourism as your answer choice.
All right.
So if you want to read a little bit more about the explanation for the answer to each question, you
can read that right here.
Thank you so much for joining me.
I really hope that you're getting a better grasp on the field of play in question.
I want you to give these all correct when you take the exam.
I'll see you in the next strategy video.
Take care.
