Oh, right.
Okay.
And I'll go ahead and just highlight the whole sentence right here, because that's what we're going
to read for number 31.
Okay.
Now we have one more and that's number 36.
And we're talking about a procedure that's now established to control the number of visitors.
Right.
And I know this is number 35 right here.
So 36 has to come after that.
And what I'm doing is I'm scanning for the language.
All right, so down here, they're talking about people, visitors right here.
Right here, we're talking about people visiting.
So it's going to be somewhere in here.
The sentence we're looking for.
Here it here's the language right here.
It says limiting the number of boats.
All right.
When it talks about limiting the number of boats that's talking about restricting people.
See what says control the number of visitors.
And it says limiting the number of boats that can enter.
That's talking about the same language.
All right.
So that means number 36 is going to be in that sentence right there.
And if you notice, we have a gap between 35 and 36.
35 is in paragraph F, then G, there's nothing.
So it doesn't have to go paragraph by paragraph.
And sometimes you might have two or three in the same paragraph.
All right.
But, you know, the the sentence is go in order.
All right.
That's what I'm trying to show you here for a true false nine giving question.
There's 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, and there's 36.
So we're going to go ahead and pause for a moment, and I'm going to separate out the sentences and
the questions to make it easier for us to take a look at it and go through the answering process.
All right.
So I'll be back with you.
I'll be back with you.
And in one minute while I go ahead and separate this out for us so we can go and take a look at the
answering process for the yes no given question.
All right.
So one moment now we have it all separated out.
And let's go ahead and take a look at our first 131.
It is difficult to distinguish one manta ray from another.
All right.
So here is our sentence right here.
Now, what what's going to and what I'm looking at, number 31, what's going to what the language that's
going to control, whether or not it's true or false or not given.
Is that word difficult?
Right.
Whenever you say a word like that, you know, when you look at the sentence, it has to say it is difficult
or it has to say it's easy or it's not going to mention it at all.
All right.
So our sentence is based at the nearby Four Seasons Resort.
He has identified more than 2000 individual manta rays, photographing and cataloging them according
to their distinctive skin patterns.
All right.
So is it going to be difficult to distinguish one way, one manta ray from another?
Well, no.
It says he's identified more than 2000 according to their distinctive skin patterns.
So if they have distinctive skin patterns, that's telling you that it's not difficult to distinguish
them if they have distinctive skin patterns.
Distinctive.
All right.
They have distinctive skin patterns.
So this answer is going to be false.
All right.
It's going to be false.
You know, some of you might say.
But it doesn't say it doesn't say that.
It doesn't say difficult.
Right.
If it says in the sentence again.
Context, everybody.
Context.
It says in the sentence that he was able to identify more than 2000 men to raise according to their
distinctive skin patterns.
They have distinctive skin patterns.
All right.
2000 of them have distinctive skin patterns.
So the context of that sentence is telling us that.
All right.
Next one for hotel guests.
Viewing manta rays has to be arranged at short notice.
Doesn't have to be arranged as short notice.
Usually manta rays has to be arranged at short notice.
Look, it says feeding events, as guy calls them, are never guaranteed.
But during the season, hotel guests can sign up for manta alerts.
All right.
MAN Two Alerts they can sign up for man to alerts.
All right, they could sign up.
So what if you're signing up for an alert?
Like you're signing up to get an alert?
That means that it's going to be a short notice.
So number 32 is true.
Yes, it's true.
It has to be arranged at short notice.
You sign the you have to sign up.
You have to sign up for a mental alert.
That means you have to sign up for something that's going to be at short notice.
Again, we're talking about understanding synonyms.
Context Synonym Context 33.
The manta rays appear to object to the presence of people in the water while they are feeding.
Do they object to the presence of people here?
It says they seem not to mind.
Now, right here, they really are playing with language here.
Wow.
They're really playing.
They're playing with language here when it says they seem not to mind.
Some students really might be confused when it says they seem not to mind because probably normally
in English you would say they don't seem to mind, which means the same as which is the opposite of
they object.
What they seem not to mind is a contradiction of objecting.
Objecting means they don't like it.
They seem not to mind.
Human competition means they're okay with it.
So here we have a contradiction and our answer is false.
Right now, if you notice, I didn't read the rest.
You didn't you didn't hear me read the rest of that long sentence because it doesn't matter.
The rest of that sentence, the information and the rest of the sentence doesn't matter.
The language and the question that's going to control whether it's true or false or not given is whether
or not they object to the presence of people.
Right.
That's the language in the in the in the question is going to control it.
Question say is the object to it.
Sentence says they seem not to mind.
That means that they have.
They have we have a contradiction.
That means it's false.
Some of you will go forward and try reading the whole thing and reading and processing the whole thing.
And that's not what you have to do.
All right.
Let's look at 34.
Guy Stevens is concerned about the increasing interests.
All right.
So we have our language there, just talking about being concerned.
It is something that guy has been monitoring closely, right?
Word is out that Farouk is a top man to spot.
And although the government has declared the bay a protected area, we still don't have any regulations
enforced to limit the number of people in the water at any one time.
All right.
So it says he's monitoring it closely.
He's monitoring.
He's monitoring about the interest because it says word is out that Hannah Fu is a top manta spot.
And in terms of there are no regulations to limit the number of people in the water.
So, yes, he is concerned about the interest.
He's concerned about the well, let's see.
Let's look at it.
Guy is concerned about the increasing interests in Hannaford.
RU is concerned about the increasing interest.
Well.
Word is out.
The head of Farrow is a top manta spot.
And although the government has declared, although the government has declared the bay a protected
area, we still don't have any regulations to forced.
The force to limit the number of people in the water at any one time.
Is he concerned about the increasing interest?
Well, this is a very, very tricky question here.
Very, very tricky question.
Hmm.
Very tricky question.
I think I'm actually going to come back to that one.
I need I need to think about that one for a moment.
For a moment.
I need to think about that for a moment.
Okay.
Let's go ahead and move into number 34.
Okay.
All right.
That's not what we're doing.
Let's go ahead and move into number 34.
OC.
And for number 34, Guy Stevens is concerned about the increasing interest in Hannaford, who it says
says it is something that guy has been monitoring closely.
Monitoring closely means concerned about.
Word is out the Hannaford Hannaford rule is a top man to spot.
That means interest.
That means there's a lot of interest in it.
There's a lot of interest in it.
Word is out the Hannaford Rule is a top man to spot.
That means there's a lot of interest in it.
That means the number 34.
Our answer is true.
35.
Mohamed Nasheed succeeded.
All right.
There again, that's like the word object for number 35.
That's like the word object.
Mohamed Nasheed succeeded in persuading certain other countries to take steps to protect the environment.
All right.
So our sentence, which I pointed out to you earlier, it starts in 2009.
He held an underwater cabinet meeting urging other world leaders to act decisively to combat the climate
change.
Now, when you look at that sentence, does it say he succeeded?
No.
Does it say he didn't succeed?
No.
We don't know if he succeeded.
It says he urged them to act decisively.
He urged urge them to act to combat climate change.
But it doesn't say he was successful.
Maybe he was successful.
Maybe he wasn't successful.
It doesn't say so.
That's a situation where we're dealing with not given.
And then 36.
All right.
A procedure has now been established to control the number of visitors.
We're working to get a full time ranger station and some kind of permit system to limit the number of
boats that can enter.
Key language here.
Now has been now been established just like number 35 succeeded.
All right.
Just like for our other question objected to you have to be able to look at a question and be able to
quickly identify what's the language they're going to use to determine if something is true, false
or given, what's the language they're going to use?
What language are they going to be playing with?
And number 36 has now been established here in the in the sentence that says, we're working to get
we're working to get if it says we're working to get it, that means they don't have it yet.
36 says it has already been established.
The question says they're working to do it.
That means we have what contradiction?
We have contradiction.
That means false.
All right.
So that is our those are our true false.
Not giving questions.
And now let's pause for a moment and go back into the passage, and we're going to get to our summary
question.
All right.
So one moment.
Okay.
So we finished up that.
Yes.
No, not given question.
And let's move now into the summary the summary question.
So a summary question is just like it's just like a field, a blank question.
You don't have to be as careful with a summary question as you do on the academic test.
On the academic test, very often they have these sentences not in the not in order.
So you might find the information for number 38, possibly before you find the information for number
37.
However, what I have found on the general test is that in general the questions are coming in order
is just that the sentences, the sentences are in different from different paragraphs.
Write sentence one might be from paragraph 337 might be from paragraph three, 38 might be from paragraph
six.
So, you know, they might pull them from different sentences.
So you have to watch for that.
But let's go ahead and do this one.
That's the first look at it.
We're going to treat it like a field, the blank question.
So let's go ahead and look at the keywords and the question and what what do we have?
What language do we have before and after the blank line?
Because that's what our answer is going to connect to.
So for 37, we have a really obvious one here.
I'm talking about weather conditions, right?
Just talking about the mountains and weather conditions is something they look for.
The language in that sentence is going to point to the answer is what they look for to feed on.
What do they look for to feed on?
38.
We eat the same food as other species, such as giant whale sharks.
We have two sentences here.
So giant whale sharks should be easy to find, although it's going to be in there.
This sentence and this sentence might be together.
But here we're talking about keeping clean.
Keeping clean.
And the language that's going to point to our answer is being kept free from something that's going
to be kept free from.
And also fish.
So we need a sentence is talking about keeping clean.
All right.
And 39 good language right here.
Something that makes them good swimmers.
And then the language that is before the blank line is they use they use something for speed.
They use something for speed.
That's the language.
Once you find the sentence that talks about them swimming or being good swimmers, then you want to
look for that language that talks about something they use for speed.
All right.
And for number 40.
Something is interesting to scientists
and.
The nature of the manta.
So something something belonging to the man that we see apostrophe s.
So something belonging to the manta is of particular interest to scientists.
Right.
Particular interest.
Particular means specific.
All right, so let's go and see if we can find where these questions are.
37 We need something about the weather.
38 We need something about keeping clean and keeping free from.
39 We need something dealing with being good swimmers and 40 We need something dealing with interest
to scientists.
Now, some people have asked me, some people have asked me and they've said, well, can I go ahead
and highlight all the key words for all the questions first?
And you can do that.
You can do that if you want to, because some people might say, well, I'm about to do the yes no,
not given question, but I want to go ahead and look at it and highlight the keywords for the summary
question so that when I'm doing that, just on not given question, I can look out for those keywords
from the summary questions, right?
So that actually could be a very good strategy if you want to go about it that way.
Right now, I'm just looking at this, looking at the questions individually and not doing the whole
reading passage as a group.
But if I were doing it as a group, right, if I were doing all the questions together, simple doing
it all of it together, like the real exam, it actually could be a very good strategy to go through
and highlight all your keywords.
And if you can keep some of those keywords in your mind while you're doing question number, doing the
question for the yes, no, not given question, it might be easier for you to come back and be able
to locate those keywords.
