All right.
Time is up.
Let's stop.
So 28 answer is six.
29 answer is four.
30 answer is two and 31 answer is eight.
All right.
Does anyone have any questions about number 28, 29, 30 or 31?
If you look at what I'm looking at with paragraphs A, B, C, and D, I am not reading more than the
first two sentences.
Right.
So with paragraph A, it tells us that Carlos saw a piece of art in a museum that profoundly affected
him.
So this whole paragraph is going to be about something that profoundly affected him.
Now, I don't need to read the rest of the paragraph because something that profoundly affects someone
is an experience.
Is an experience.
You don't need to read what the experience was.
You don't need to read what what it was that profoundly, profoundly affected him.
The entire paragraph is about this experience of what affected him.
Again, if you're confident in your reading, you don't need to do that over reading.
Right.
And then we get into paragraph B, C, or D.
In terms of what paragraph B, it tells us that Fernando runs a company, he produces a bicycle helmet,
and then the next sentence says he designed a water bottle, two inventions.
Stop right there.
Answer the question and move on.
Right.
Those are the two inventions.
We don't need to read the rest about what the invention is.
And in terms of how it's designed and all that other stuff, the whole paragraph is about introducing
these two inventions.
That's it.
As I told you.
The creators know how to write paragraphs and they write them correctly.
So when you're writing correct paragraphs, everything is focused on a topic sentence.
Those first two sentences are connected.
They actually act as one topic sentence because of the word.
But.
Excuse me.
Because of the word, but.
All right.
And then we have paragraph C and paragraph D.
So if there are no questions about paragraph C, your paragraph D and you understand them, then I'm
going to move on to the next ones.
All right.
Whoever keeps sending me a message about trying to record this.
No, you cannot.
As I said earlier, this is being recorded and it will be uploaded into the course.
So please stop sending me that message.
All right.
Paragraphs F and G.
Paragraph E is number five to the contrasting views.
So.
Now, when I read this first paragraph, it starts off with what?
It starts off with the word today.
I know from being able to write paragraphs that if somebody starts off a paragraph talking about what
it's like today.
They also are going to talk about this.
They're doing some type of comparison between two different thought processes.
Today is now not, you know, today, though, blah, blah, blah, now, blah, blah, blah.
They're telling you about what?
They're contrasting two different generations.
They're contrasting two different views.
That's generally what this is going to be about.
They're going to contrast something.
And normally when they start off today is, you know, today people think this yesterday people thought
that that's what a paragraph like that starts off with.
So when you understand paragraph writing, this is actually not that complicated.
You don't have to over read.
Paragraph F is one of the more difficult ones.
F and G.
F and G are really the separator paragraphs.
F and G are the separating paragraphs.
Because F and G require you actually to look in more of the paragraph than what's normal.
But those are the two paragraphs that separate you separate people from getting a seven, eight, nine.
Or like Miriam told us earlier, she got an 8.5 on reading.
Those are the those are the paragraphs that separate people from getting fives and sixes to those that
get eights and nines because it requires more depth.
But I've highlighted the sentences there.
Actually respond to that what it's about.
The first sentence in terms of F.
Right.
It says, you know, it's uncertain whether classical will succeed in his goal.
And so what I do know is that this paragraph is going to talk about why why it was uncertain he was
going to succeed in this goal.
That's what it's going to be about.
So we have to find out the reason why.
Right.
The reason why and really that that second sentence is what really goes into the reason why.
Um, you know, here we're talking about a time when opportunities were not limited.
But if you read that second sentence, that gives you the answer choice.
All right.
And then on this page right here, all the answer choices for 28 through 40.
Okay, so now let's move into Cambridge 17 Academic test three Section one, the thylacine.
The thylacine.
So here we're dealing with the fill in the blank question and a true false not given question.
So on your screen right here, you can see the reading passage for the thylacine.
That's our reading passage.
Then we have the fill the blank question where it says one word only.
With a field of blank question.
Your job is to recognize the question.
Keywords.
Scan for the matching sentence.
Note that it is possible when they create questions, that they take information from more than one
sentence to create a question.
Two sentences that are back to back.
The answer must connect to the language before and after the blank line.
I talked about that already.
When you find a matching sentence, just find the language that relates to before and after the blank
line and you will easily find the answer.
You do not need to understand the entire sentence.
Stop wasting time.
Then we have our true false not given question set.
True.
False.
Not given question set.
And we're going to answer that one also.
Both of these both of these question sets go in order.
So, you know, it doesn't matter which one you do first.
My advice is to start with, start with whatever one is easier for you to do.
So for most people, the field, the blank question is easier than the true false, not given question.
So they would start with the true with the field of blank question and then go to the true false, not
given question.
Now with the yes no.
Not given true false, not given question Some people are confused about why is it sometimes.
Yes.
No.
Not given why is it sometimes true?
False, not given.
There's no difference in strategy.
It's just the it's just a difference in what the text contains.
Is this a difference with the text contains.
So sometimes we're dealing with opinions and then other times we're dealing with factual information
if facts are true or not.
So I'm not going to read all this to you.
You know, when I upload this in the course, if you want to read more about really what the differences
are is no difference in strategy is this deals with the text, whether the text deals with opinions
or the text deals with factual information.
That's why sometimes it says yes, no, not given and why.
And other times it says true.
False, not given.
In terms of strategy.
The true false, not given question is basically the same strategy as a field of blank question.
You recognize the question keywords.
You scan for the matching sentences, right?
And then you want to note then you have to be able to answer if something is true, false or not given.
And the way you're able to really answer true, false and not given understand true, false not given
is understanding which understanding what I have said in the course many times, which is the language
that they use to twist something, to be true or to be false or to be not given.
There's always a language and a question that they're using is 2 or 3 words that they're using in a
question sentence that will make something true, false or not given.
It's not the entire sentence.
Right is not the entire sentence.
Understanding the entire sentence of a question where you that you need to look at to understand if
something's true, false or not.
Given there are always 2 or 3 words in a question that they will use to make something true, false
or not given or yes, no or not given.
So if you're able to recognize what that language is, then you can specifically really address true,
false or not given.
That's the reason why some students like Mariam are able to get 8.5 is they have a very accurate application
of strategy and they're very disciplined at doing it.
All right.
So coming up next.
We're going to do the fill the blank question.
So we're going to do the fill the blank question.
We're going to note the question keywords, and then we're going to do the second and third skill task,
which are locating the matching sentence and answering the question by filling in the blank.
So first right here, everybody.
What I want you to do is all I want you to do right here.
We're not we're not answering the question, so don't do that.
The only thing I want you to do is I want you to take 30s.
And I want you to write down or underline on your own paper if you have it, underline the question,
keywords, the question, keywords, everybody.
You have 30s to do that.
Here we see our question keywords.
Right now, even though in that first line, there's no question I highlighted stripes along its body
and tail because if I find that's very specific language and if I find that it's going to help me find
where number one is going to be.
And then you see what I have highlighted for number two and what I have highlighted for numbers three,
four and five.
Right.
So these are the words that are going to help me find the matching keywords.
Now what we're going to do is we are going to locate the matching passage sentence and answer the question
by filling in the blanks.
You're going to do both.
You have to scan and locate the matching sentence and then answer that answer the question or fill in
the blank.
All right.
So you have five questions and I am going to give you six minutes, 6.5 minutes to answer these five
questions.
And you may begin now.
