1
00:00:01,620 --> 00:00:02,010
All right.

2
00:00:02,040 --> 00:00:02,730
Time is up.

3
00:00:02,730 --> 00:00:03,420
Let's stop.

4
00:00:06,860 --> 00:00:10,580
So 28 answer is six.

5
00:00:11,060 --> 00:00:13,430
29 answer is four.

6
00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:18,290
30 answer is two and 31 answer is eight.

7
00:00:20,020 --> 00:00:20,320
All right.

8
00:00:20,350 --> 00:00:24,940
Does anyone have any questions about number 28, 29, 30 or 31?

9
00:00:26,320 --> 00:00:32,260
If you look at what I'm looking at with paragraphs A, B, C, and D, I am not reading more than the

10
00:00:32,260 --> 00:00:33,790
first two sentences.

11
00:00:34,700 --> 00:00:35,060
Right.

12
00:00:35,060 --> 00:00:44,210
So with paragraph A, it tells us that Carlos saw a piece of art in a museum that profoundly affected

13
00:00:44,210 --> 00:00:44,600
him.

14
00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:54,860
So this whole paragraph is going to be about something that profoundly affected him.

15
00:00:55,430 --> 00:01:02,090
Now, I don't need to read the rest of the paragraph because something that profoundly affects someone

16
00:01:02,090 --> 00:01:03,680
is an experience.

17
00:01:04,470 --> 00:01:05,910
Is an experience.

18
00:01:05,910 --> 00:01:09,160
You don't need to read what the experience was.

19
00:01:09,180 --> 00:01:14,430
You don't need to read what what it was that profoundly, profoundly affected him.

20
00:01:14,460 --> 00:01:19,560
The entire paragraph is about this experience of what affected him.

21
00:01:19,800 --> 00:01:24,720
Again, if you're confident in your reading, you don't need to do that over reading.

22
00:01:27,660 --> 00:01:28,080
Right.

23
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:30,810
And then we get into paragraph B, C, or D.

24
00:01:32,340 --> 00:01:42,030
In terms of what paragraph B, it tells us that Fernando runs a company, he produces a bicycle helmet,

25
00:01:42,150 --> 00:01:46,180
and then the next sentence says he designed a water bottle, two inventions.

26
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:47,760
Stop right there.

27
00:01:48,730 --> 00:01:50,590
Answer the question and move on.

28
00:01:52,130 --> 00:01:52,430
Right.

29
00:01:52,430 --> 00:01:53,990
Those are the two inventions.

30
00:01:54,530 --> 00:01:58,700
We don't need to read the rest about what the invention is.

31
00:01:58,730 --> 00:02:05,390
And in terms of how it's designed and all that other stuff, the whole paragraph is about introducing

32
00:02:05,390 --> 00:02:06,380
these two inventions.

33
00:02:06,380 --> 00:02:07,190
That's it.

34
00:02:08,080 --> 00:02:09,160
As I told you.

35
00:02:09,890 --> 00:02:13,520
The creators know how to write paragraphs and they write them correctly.

36
00:02:13,730 --> 00:02:19,220
So when you're writing correct paragraphs, everything is focused on a topic sentence.

37
00:02:19,640 --> 00:02:22,170
Those first two sentences are connected.

38
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,390
They actually act as one topic sentence because of the word.

39
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:26,090
But.

40
00:02:28,350 --> 00:02:29,010
Excuse me.

41
00:02:29,640 --> 00:02:31,140
Because of the word, but.

42
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:32,700
All right.

43
00:02:33,180 --> 00:02:36,180
And then we have paragraph C and paragraph D.

44
00:02:37,080 --> 00:02:42,210
So if there are no questions about paragraph C, your paragraph D and you understand them, then I'm

45
00:02:42,210 --> 00:02:44,780
going to move on to the next ones.

46
00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:48,980
All right.

47
00:02:48,980 --> 00:02:53,060
Whoever keeps sending me a message about trying to record this.

48
00:02:53,060 --> 00:02:54,260
No, you cannot.

49
00:02:55,220 --> 00:02:59,720
As I said earlier, this is being recorded and it will be uploaded into the course.

50
00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:01,910
So please stop sending me that message.

51
00:03:03,900 --> 00:03:04,170
All right.

52
00:03:04,170 --> 00:03:06,810
Paragraphs F and G.

53
00:03:08,090 --> 00:03:14,120
Paragraph E is number five to the contrasting views.

54
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:15,290
So.

55
00:03:16,370 --> 00:03:20,990
Now, when I read this first paragraph, it starts off with what?

56
00:03:21,020 --> 00:03:22,880
It starts off with the word today.

57
00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:33,450
I know from being able to write paragraphs that if somebody starts off a paragraph talking about what

58
00:03:33,450 --> 00:03:34,740
it's like today.

59
00:03:35,590 --> 00:03:37,950
They also are going to talk about this.

60
00:03:37,960 --> 00:03:42,520
They're doing some type of comparison between two different thought processes.

61
00:03:43,360 --> 00:03:48,230
Today is now not, you know, today, though, blah, blah, blah, now, blah, blah, blah.

62
00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:49,870
They're telling you about what?

63
00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,420
They're contrasting two different generations.

64
00:03:53,420 --> 00:03:55,430
They're contrasting two different views.

65
00:03:55,580 --> 00:03:57,950
That's generally what this is going to be about.

66
00:03:57,980 --> 00:03:59,720
They're going to contrast something.

67
00:04:01,070 --> 00:04:06,020
And normally when they start off today is, you know, today people think this yesterday people thought

68
00:04:06,020 --> 00:04:09,590
that that's what a paragraph like that starts off with.

69
00:04:10,070 --> 00:04:13,550
So when you understand paragraph writing, this is actually not that complicated.

70
00:04:13,550 --> 00:04:14,960
You don't have to over read.

71
00:04:16,790 --> 00:04:20,300
Paragraph F is one of the more difficult ones.

72
00:04:20,330 --> 00:04:20,930
F and G.

73
00:04:21,860 --> 00:04:25,190
F and G are really the separator paragraphs.

74
00:04:26,390 --> 00:04:28,580
F and G are the separating paragraphs.

75
00:04:29,060 --> 00:04:34,400
Because F and G require you actually to look in more of the paragraph than what's normal.

76
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:40,850
But those are the two paragraphs that separate you separate people from getting a seven, eight, nine.

77
00:04:41,450 --> 00:04:45,380
Or like Miriam told us earlier, she got an 8.5 on reading.

78
00:04:45,770 --> 00:04:50,720
Those are the those are the paragraphs that separate people from getting fives and sixes to those that

79
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:53,390
get eights and nines because it requires more depth.

80
00:04:54,860 --> 00:04:56,720
But I've highlighted the sentences there.

81
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:59,180
Actually respond to that what it's about.

82
00:05:01,280 --> 00:05:03,540
The first sentence in terms of F.

83
00:05:04,990 --> 00:05:05,430
Right.

84
00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:09,670
It says, you know, it's uncertain whether classical will succeed in his goal.

85
00:05:10,210 --> 00:05:19,240
And so what I do know is that this paragraph is going to talk about why why it was uncertain he was

86
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:20,440
going to succeed in this goal.

87
00:05:20,440 --> 00:05:21,940
That's what it's going to be about.

88
00:05:22,270 --> 00:05:25,570
So we have to find out the reason why.

89
00:05:26,780 --> 00:05:27,230
Right.

90
00:05:27,230 --> 00:05:34,430
The reason why and really that that second sentence is what really goes into the reason why.

91
00:05:34,970 --> 00:05:39,230
Um, you know, here we're talking about a time when opportunities were not limited.

92
00:05:39,980 --> 00:05:43,790
But if you read that second sentence, that gives you the answer choice.

93
00:05:46,290 --> 00:05:46,830
All right.

94
00:05:46,830 --> 00:05:54,000
And then on this page right here, all the answer choices for 28 through 40.

95
00:05:56,400 --> 00:06:02,880
Okay, so now let's move into Cambridge 17 Academic test three Section one, the thylacine.

96
00:06:03,770 --> 00:06:05,150
The thylacine.

97
00:06:08,100 --> 00:06:13,950
So here we're dealing with the fill in the blank question and a true false not given question.

98
00:06:15,860 --> 00:06:20,630
So on your screen right here, you can see the reading passage for the thylacine.

99
00:06:21,410 --> 00:06:23,240
That's our reading passage.

100
00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:29,990
Then we have the fill the blank question where it says one word only.

101
00:06:32,850 --> 00:06:34,350
With a field of blank question.

102
00:06:34,350 --> 00:06:36,240
Your job is to recognize the question.

103
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:37,260
Keywords.

104
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:39,840
Scan for the matching sentence.

105
00:06:40,440 --> 00:06:44,580
Note that it is possible when they create questions, that they take information from more than one

106
00:06:44,580 --> 00:06:46,110
sentence to create a question.

107
00:06:46,140 --> 00:06:48,270
Two sentences that are back to back.

108
00:06:49,050 --> 00:06:52,830
The answer must connect to the language before and after the blank line.

109
00:06:52,830 --> 00:06:54,390
I talked about that already.

110
00:06:54,480 --> 00:06:59,850
When you find a matching sentence, just find the language that relates to before and after the blank

111
00:06:59,850 --> 00:07:02,520
line and you will easily find the answer.

112
00:07:02,550 --> 00:07:05,850
You do not need to understand the entire sentence.

113
00:07:05,860 --> 00:07:07,080
Stop wasting time.

114
00:07:08,410 --> 00:07:11,860
Then we have our true false not given question set.

115
00:07:11,890 --> 00:07:12,130
True.

116
00:07:12,130 --> 00:07:12,430
False.

117
00:07:12,430 --> 00:07:14,020
Not given question set.

118
00:07:14,260 --> 00:07:16,750
And we're going to answer that one also.

119
00:07:16,990 --> 00:07:20,230
Both of these both of these question sets go in order.

120
00:07:20,710 --> 00:07:24,910
So, you know, it doesn't matter which one you do first.

121
00:07:25,850 --> 00:07:30,800
My advice is to start with, start with whatever one is easier for you to do.

122
00:07:30,980 --> 00:07:36,470
So for most people, the field, the blank question is easier than the true false, not given question.

123
00:07:36,650 --> 00:07:41,870
So they would start with the true with the field of blank question and then go to the true false, not

124
00:07:41,870 --> 00:07:42,770
given question.

125
00:07:44,840 --> 00:07:47,030
Now with the yes no.

126
00:07:47,030 --> 00:07:53,060
Not given true false, not given question Some people are confused about why is it sometimes.

127
00:07:53,060 --> 00:07:53,300
Yes.

128
00:07:53,300 --> 00:07:53,540
No.

129
00:07:53,540 --> 00:07:55,700
Not given why is it sometimes true?

130
00:07:55,700 --> 00:07:56,840
False, not given.

131
00:07:56,880 --> 00:07:59,140
There's no difference in strategy.

132
00:07:59,150 --> 00:08:02,810
It's just the it's just a difference in what the text contains.

133
00:08:03,200 --> 00:08:05,480
Is this a difference with the text contains.

134
00:08:05,900 --> 00:08:16,490
So sometimes we're dealing with opinions and then other times we're dealing with factual information

135
00:08:16,490 --> 00:08:18,470
if facts are true or not.

136
00:08:18,890 --> 00:08:21,800
So I'm not going to read all this to you.

137
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:26,330
You know, when I upload this in the course, if you want to read more about really what the differences

138
00:08:26,330 --> 00:08:31,520
are is no difference in strategy is this deals with the text, whether the text deals with opinions

139
00:08:31,550 --> 00:08:33,920
or the text deals with factual information.

140
00:08:33,950 --> 00:08:38,210
That's why sometimes it says yes, no, not given and why.

141
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:39,710
And other times it says true.

142
00:08:39,710 --> 00:08:40,820
False, not given.

143
00:08:43,770 --> 00:08:45,450
In terms of strategy.

144
00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:52,410
The true false, not given question is basically the same strategy as a field of blank question.

145
00:08:52,830 --> 00:08:55,830
You recognize the question keywords.

146
00:08:55,860 --> 00:09:00,150
You scan for the matching sentences, right?

147
00:09:00,180 --> 00:09:06,690
And then you want to note then you have to be able to answer if something is true, false or not given.

148
00:09:07,110 --> 00:09:11,910
And the way you're able to really answer true, false and not given understand true, false not given

149
00:09:12,090 --> 00:09:18,720
is understanding which understanding what I have said in the course many times, which is the language

150
00:09:18,720 --> 00:09:24,030
that they use to twist something, to be true or to be false or to be not given.

151
00:09:24,660 --> 00:09:32,250
There's always a language and a question that they're using is 2 or 3 words that they're using in a

152
00:09:32,250 --> 00:09:36,760
question sentence that will make something true, false or not given.

153
00:09:36,780 --> 00:09:39,390
It's not the entire sentence.

154
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:43,430
Right is not the entire sentence.

155
00:09:43,460 --> 00:09:49,040
Understanding the entire sentence of a question where you that you need to look at to understand if

156
00:09:49,040 --> 00:09:50,210
something's true, false or not.

157
00:09:50,210 --> 00:10:00,230
Given there are always 2 or 3 words in a question that they will use to make something true, false

158
00:10:00,230 --> 00:10:02,660
or not given or yes, no or not given.

159
00:10:02,870 --> 00:10:08,720
So if you're able to recognize what that language is, then you can specifically really address true,

160
00:10:08,720 --> 00:10:09,890
false or not given.

161
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:18,470
That's the reason why some students like Mariam are able to get 8.5 is they have a very accurate application

162
00:10:18,470 --> 00:10:20,840
of strategy and they're very disciplined at doing it.

163
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:23,960
All right.

164
00:10:23,960 --> 00:10:25,490
So coming up next.

165
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:29,420
We're going to do the fill the blank question.

166
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:34,630
So we're going to do the fill the blank question.

167
00:10:34,640 --> 00:10:39,560
We're going to note the question keywords, and then we're going to do the second and third skill task,

168
00:10:39,560 --> 00:10:43,970
which are locating the matching sentence and answering the question by filling in the blank.

169
00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:48,400
So first right here, everybody.

170
00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:52,600
What I want you to do is all I want you to do right here.

171
00:10:52,600 --> 00:10:55,030
We're not we're not answering the question, so don't do that.

172
00:10:55,030 --> 00:10:59,020
The only thing I want you to do is I want you to take 30s.

173
00:10:59,260 --> 00:11:08,740
And I want you to write down or underline on your own paper if you have it, underline the question,

174
00:11:08,740 --> 00:11:11,830
keywords, the question, keywords, everybody.

175
00:11:11,830 --> 00:11:13,570
You have 30s to do that.

176
00:12:04,710 --> 00:12:07,740
Here we see our question keywords.

177
00:12:09,300 --> 00:12:16,560
Right now, even though in that first line, there's no question I highlighted stripes along its body

178
00:12:16,560 --> 00:12:24,150
and tail because if I find that's very specific language and if I find that it's going to help me find

179
00:12:24,150 --> 00:12:25,950
where number one is going to be.

180
00:12:27,700 --> 00:12:33,160
And then you see what I have highlighted for number two and what I have highlighted for numbers three,

181
00:12:33,160 --> 00:12:34,750
four and five.

182
00:12:36,120 --> 00:12:36,420
Right.

183
00:12:36,420 --> 00:12:42,150
So these are the words that are going to help me find the matching keywords.

184
00:12:44,070 --> 00:12:51,780
Now what we're going to do is we are going to locate the matching passage sentence and answer the question

185
00:12:51,780 --> 00:12:52,710
by filling in the blanks.

186
00:12:52,740 --> 00:12:54,210
You're going to do both.

187
00:12:54,480 --> 00:13:00,960
You have to scan and locate the matching sentence and then answer that answer the question or fill in

188
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:01,680
the blank.

189
00:13:03,830 --> 00:13:04,160
All right.

190
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:13,940
So you have five questions and I am going to give you six minutes, 6.5 minutes to answer these five

191
00:13:13,940 --> 00:13:14,960
questions.

192
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:17,660
And you may begin now.
