1
00:00:00,330 --> 00:00:02,640
Okay, So let's go ahead and get started.

2
00:00:03,420 --> 00:00:11,130
In today's live class, I'm going to be going over reading strategy application for the Isles exam.

3
00:00:11,880 --> 00:00:18,390
This lecture in this class is appropriate for those taking the general exam and the academic exam,

4
00:00:19,380 --> 00:00:25,470
because for the general exam, your third reading passage is at the same difficulty as the academic

5
00:00:25,830 --> 00:00:27,060
academic exam.

6
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:29,940
So is appropriate for both.

7
00:00:30,450 --> 00:00:31,770
Let's go ahead and get started.

8
00:00:33,980 --> 00:00:40,970
So today we're going to be going through two passages, and those two passages are going to cover four

9
00:00:40,970 --> 00:00:42,230
question types.

10
00:00:42,710 --> 00:00:43,650
Fill the blank.

11
00:00:43,670 --> 00:00:44,360
True, false.

12
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:49,640
Non given paragraph or section location and choose to from a list.

13
00:00:51,060 --> 00:00:56,850
Of course, for two of these questions the field, the blank and the true false not given the questions

14
00:00:56,850 --> 00:01:02,610
go in order for the paragraph, location and the choose two from a list.

15
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,700
The questions may not necessarily come in the right order.

16
00:01:11,060 --> 00:01:15,010
So coming up next, we're going to go over Cambridge.

17
00:01:15,020 --> 00:01:21,980
Book 17 is the academic book from Cambridge, Book 17, which recently was released.

18
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:28,970
I'm going to be going through test two reading passage one, the Dead Sea Scrolls.

19
00:01:32,750 --> 00:01:33,560
For this passage.

20
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:35,600
We have to question types.

21
00:01:35,750 --> 00:01:37,340
Fill the blank and true.

22
00:01:37,340 --> 00:01:37,740
False.

23
00:01:37,760 --> 00:01:38,450
Not given.

24
00:01:41,420 --> 00:01:44,840
So here you can see the reading passage right here in front of you.

25
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:47,030
This is passage one.

26
00:01:47,270 --> 00:01:54,350
And normally in passage number one, the reading passage is going to be between 5 to 600 words.

27
00:01:54,950 --> 00:01:56,390
This normally passes.

28
00:01:56,390 --> 00:02:01,520
Number one is the easiest of the three for the academic exam.

29
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:05,810
And so it's about 5 to 600 words for passage one.

30
00:02:07,330 --> 00:02:12,610
Also, we can see our two question types on the left side of the screen.

31
00:02:12,730 --> 00:02:19,420
You see a field of blank question and on the right side of the screen you see the yes, no, not giving

32
00:02:19,420 --> 00:02:20,140
question.

33
00:02:25,330 --> 00:02:25,660
Right.

34
00:02:25,660 --> 00:02:29,020
So our question type is yes, no, not given.

35
00:02:29,620 --> 00:02:29,950
Right.

36
00:02:29,950 --> 00:02:32,020
Sometimes you see it as true, false, not given.

37
00:02:32,020 --> 00:02:34,000
And I'll explain that difference in a moment.

38
00:02:34,300 --> 00:02:35,860
I'll explain that difference in a moment.

39
00:02:36,490 --> 00:02:43,150
In terms of strategy for this question type, you have to be able to recognize the keywords and the

40
00:02:43,150 --> 00:02:44,050
questions.

41
00:02:44,530 --> 00:02:49,600
You have to scan for the matching sentences for those questions.

42
00:02:50,500 --> 00:02:56,440
Now, also keep in mind that when you look at a question, you have some words in a question that are

43
00:02:56,440 --> 00:03:01,480
really great for scanning and they have other words in the question that relate to the language that

44
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:05,110
they're using to make something true, false or not given.

45
00:03:05,710 --> 00:03:12,430
And I'll be going through that today because it's very important when you're doing this type of question

46
00:03:12,550 --> 00:03:19,450
to be able to recognize what language are they using to make something true, false or not, given a

47
00:03:19,450 --> 00:03:27,610
lot of students may make the mistake of looking at the entire question and trying to say, is this entire

48
00:03:27,610 --> 00:03:34,540
question true, false or not, given there's always very specific language in a question that they're

49
00:03:34,540 --> 00:03:37,510
using to make something true or false or not given.

50
00:03:38,500 --> 00:03:45,460
Now, when you're answering questions, yes means that the information is confirmed is correct.

51
00:03:45,580 --> 00:03:47,620
No means there's a contradiction.

52
00:03:47,980 --> 00:03:53,980
And not giving means that the information or some information that's inside the question is missing

53
00:03:53,980 --> 00:03:54,700
not stated.

54
00:03:54,700 --> 00:03:55,630
We don't know.

55
00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:59,380
We don't know if it's confirmed or as contradicted.

56
00:03:59,410 --> 00:04:04,420
The passage is silent to some information right now with the field of blank question.

57
00:04:04,420 --> 00:04:07,060
This is one of the easiest questions to be able to handle.

58
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:10,690
You have to be able to recognize the question key words.

59
00:04:11,080 --> 00:04:13,720
You have to be able to scan for the matching sentences.

60
00:04:14,140 --> 00:04:19,030
One thing that's important that I want you to recognize is that when you're doing this kind of question,

61
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:25,750
what happens very often is they'll look at the passage when when they're making the questions for passage,

62
00:04:25,750 --> 00:04:29,200
for a field, the blank question type they may take.

63
00:04:30,010 --> 00:04:32,740
One sentence and create a question.

64
00:04:33,190 --> 00:04:39,100
Or they may take information from two sentences or three sentences and create a question.

65
00:04:40,120 --> 00:04:48,820
So sometimes you might have a situation where in the passage you have language from a question located

66
00:04:48,820 --> 00:04:50,410
in two different sentences.

67
00:04:51,670 --> 00:04:54,730
But the answer is going to come from one of those sentences.

68
00:04:55,060 --> 00:05:01,930
But it's not always we're using one specific passage sentence to create one specific question.

69
00:05:02,230 --> 00:05:07,630
Sometimes it comes from a combination of two sentences, and you're going to notice that today.

70
00:05:08,650 --> 00:05:14,980
Something else to note about a field of blank question is that the answer must connect to the language

71
00:05:14,980 --> 00:05:17,050
that's before and after the blank line.

72
00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:20,690
Right before and or after the blank line.

73
00:05:21,740 --> 00:05:27,080
That's really important to understand because I get a lot of questions from students.

74
00:05:27,980 --> 00:05:30,230
Can this answer be correct?

75
00:05:30,620 --> 00:05:40,840
And my question always is to them is, does this answer connect directly to the language in the passage?

76
00:05:40,850 --> 00:05:47,420
Does the passage language before or after the blink line directly connect to that as an answer?

77
00:05:48,410 --> 00:05:56,060
And inevitably, the answer is no, it does not, because it is not about whether you think an answer

78
00:05:56,060 --> 00:05:57,220
can or cannot be right.

79
00:05:57,230 --> 00:05:58,790
They're not asking you that.

80
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:01,610
They're not asking you what do you believe?

81
00:06:02,210 --> 00:06:02,440
What?

82
00:06:02,510 --> 00:06:03,190
What is the what?

83
00:06:03,190 --> 00:06:04,970
Which answer choice is a possibility.

84
00:06:04,970 --> 00:06:06,560
They're not asking you that.

85
00:06:07,100 --> 00:06:13,730
They're asking you to recognize the paraphrasing or the synonyms of the language that before and after

86
00:06:13,730 --> 00:06:14,630
the blank line.

87
00:06:14,630 --> 00:06:16,520
And how does it connect to that language?

88
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:18,680
What answer connects to that language?

89
00:06:19,100 --> 00:06:20,780
So we have to be clear about that.

90
00:06:22,340 --> 00:06:27,980
Now for this passage we're going to do we have a field blank and a true false, not given question type.

91
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:28,550
Right.

92
00:06:28,610 --> 00:06:29,210
That's what we have.

93
00:06:29,210 --> 00:06:32,090
We have a field of blank and a true false not given to type.

94
00:06:32,420 --> 00:06:35,690
So you may ask yourself, which do you do first?

95
00:06:37,150 --> 00:06:40,060
In this case, we have two questions to go in order.

96
00:06:40,330 --> 00:06:44,350
So really, it's about whichever one is the easiest for you to do.

97
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:49,330
If you're better at the fill the blank question, then start with that one first.

98
00:06:49,660 --> 00:06:53,500
If you're better at the true false than that given question, start with that one first.

99
00:06:54,370 --> 00:06:55,060
It doesn't matter.

100
00:06:55,060 --> 00:06:56,320
They both go in order.

101
00:06:57,820 --> 00:07:00,580
So, I mean, for most people it's the field.

102
00:07:00,580 --> 00:07:02,380
The blank question is really easy to do.

103
00:07:02,380 --> 00:07:05,170
So most people would start with that one.

104
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:13,390
Now, before starting either question type, go ahead and scan for the keywords in both question sets.

105
00:07:14,740 --> 00:07:20,320
Because this is going to allow for you to watch out for all the keywords when you are starting.

106
00:07:22,660 --> 00:07:23,140
All right.

107
00:07:23,140 --> 00:07:31,480
So here is our question on the left, which is our field of blank question and our question on the right,

108
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,390
which is actually a true false not giving question.

109
00:07:35,160 --> 00:07:42,270
Right now, what I want you to do is I want you to take 2 minutes and I want you to try to identify

110
00:07:42,450 --> 00:07:49,890
the keywords in the field, the blank question, and identify the keywords in the true false, not given

111
00:07:49,890 --> 00:07:50,580
question.

112
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:56,490
Now, when you're looking at the true false nine given question, I want you to see if you can identify

113
00:07:57,180 --> 00:08:05,580
not just the normal keywords, but what language, what language in the question are they going to use

114
00:08:05,580 --> 00:08:08,850
to determine if something is true, false or not given?

115
00:08:09,780 --> 00:08:14,370
So go ahead and take 2 minutes and try to do that and then I'll come right back to you.

116
00:10:34,650 --> 00:10:35,190
Okay.

117
00:10:37,510 --> 00:10:45,850
So if we're looking at it over here for the field of blank questions, I know it's going to start from

118
00:10:45,850 --> 00:10:48,370
where they talk about three Bedouin shepherds.

119
00:10:49,180 --> 00:10:49,490
Right?

120
00:10:49,510 --> 00:10:51,010
I know it's going to start from there.

121
00:10:51,010 --> 00:10:56,530
So I'm for the first thing I'm looking for is actually this war right here, Qumran.

122
00:10:57,690 --> 00:11:00,480
Because that's a very easy word to find.

123
00:11:00,810 --> 00:11:04,080
Then I'm looking for where it talks about three Bedouin shepherds.

124
00:11:04,440 --> 00:11:06,270
Now for question number one.

125
00:11:07,020 --> 00:11:10,920
Noise and braking would help me find the correct sentence.

126
00:11:11,220 --> 00:11:15,510
And I know that the answer must connect to teenager through.

127
00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:20,040
That's why you see that in green, because that's what the answer must connect to.

128
00:11:20,790 --> 00:11:22,650
For question two, I'm.

129
00:11:22,770 --> 00:11:31,200
I'm looking for teenagers and my answer must connect to went into what I find that right sentence and

130
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:32,820
I find the right sentence.

131
00:11:33,090 --> 00:11:40,640
All I'm looking for is the paraphrasing of the language went into for number three.

132
00:11:40,650 --> 00:11:45,480
I'm looking for found and containers made of right.

133
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:52,080
I'm looking for paraphrasing or synonyms in that sentence for containers made of.

134
00:11:52,500 --> 00:11:58,800
Now, one thing I want you to notice about questions two and three is questions two and three are actually

135
00:11:58,800 --> 00:12:00,390
in the same sentence.

136
00:12:01,110 --> 00:12:02,640
They're in the same sentence.

137
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:10,080
So that means there's a good chance that these answers might be in the same sentence or these answers

138
00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,540
may be in sentences that are back to back.

139
00:12:12,930 --> 00:12:17,550
Because like I told you, sometimes they'll take two sentences and they'll combine it into one question

140
00:12:17,550 --> 00:12:17,970
sentence.

141
00:12:17,970 --> 00:12:24,600
Or here we have two questions and two questions in the same sentence for a number four, right?

142
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:30,390
First, I'm looking for that 150 B.C.E 70 C That's going to clue me in that I'm in the right spot to

143
00:12:30,390 --> 00:12:32,340
find the right right sentence.

144
00:12:33,630 --> 00:12:36,240
We're looking for a language related to written by.

145
00:12:36,780 --> 00:12:43,860
And my answer must connect to a paraphrasing or synonym of known as When I find the right sentence.

146
00:12:43,860 --> 00:12:45,120
That's all I'm looking for.

147
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:47,190
I'm not trying to read the whole sentence.

148
00:12:47,250 --> 00:12:49,770
I'm not trying to understand the whole sentence.

149
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:52,680
All I'm looking for is where's known as.

150
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:54,360
Right.

151
00:12:54,360 --> 00:13:00,030
And then number five, written mainly written mainly in my answer must connect to that.

152
00:13:00,300 --> 00:13:03,600
I'm looking for the paraphrasing or the synonym of that language.

153
00:13:04,420 --> 00:13:04,630
Okay.

154
00:13:04,690 --> 00:13:05,920
That's how you make it easy.

155
00:13:06,250 --> 00:13:11,030
Now for the true false not giving question again, we're dealing with true false.

156
00:13:11,050 --> 00:13:12,790
That given we're dealing with facts.

157
00:13:13,880 --> 00:13:15,230
Where I would deal with facts.

158
00:13:16,010 --> 00:13:16,280
All right.

159
00:13:16,280 --> 00:13:18,920
Now for number six.

160
00:13:19,910 --> 00:13:25,910
The correct sentence will relate to Bedouin teenagers something about money and receive that's going

161
00:13:25,910 --> 00:13:27,650
to help me find the right sentence.

162
00:13:28,100 --> 00:13:32,000
The language that you see in Green were disappointed.

163
00:13:33,150 --> 00:13:33,780
Right.

164
00:13:34,110 --> 00:13:41,130
That language is the language in the question that's used to be able to determine if something is going

165
00:13:41,130 --> 00:13:42,870
to be true, false or not, give it.

166
00:13:44,030 --> 00:13:44,600
Right.

167
00:13:44,630 --> 00:13:46,730
Is Fort Worth its follow up?

168
00:13:46,730 --> 00:13:48,650
You were disappointed.

169
00:13:49,830 --> 00:13:51,510
As soon as I look at this question.

170
00:13:52,020 --> 00:13:52,620
Right.

171
00:13:52,620 --> 00:13:56,400
I'm saying it was that is going to say they were disappointed as well.

172
00:13:56,410 --> 00:14:01,260
Say they were not disappointed or it's going to be empty about whether they're disappointed or not.

173
00:14:01,720 --> 00:14:07,710
Number seven, not the correct sentence will say something about academics.

174
00:14:08,310 --> 00:14:15,210
You'll say something about origin, and then it's going to say something about there is an agreement.

175
00:14:15,210 --> 00:14:15,390
Right.

176
00:14:15,450 --> 00:14:17,700
I can look at the question and see.

177
00:14:18,630 --> 00:14:19,080
Right.

178
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:21,330
That's the that's the twist language.

179
00:14:21,330 --> 00:14:25,050
That's the language that determines true or false are not given.

180
00:14:26,150 --> 00:14:27,110
For number eight.

181
00:14:27,110 --> 00:14:28,490
You see the same thing.

182
00:14:29,030 --> 00:14:31,670
Most of the books, most of.

183
00:14:32,630 --> 00:14:38,380
As soon as you see that language, you have to be able to see this is what they're playing with, right?

184
00:14:38,390 --> 00:14:42,650
The test makers, they whenever they create a question for a yes no, not given question.

185
00:14:42,650 --> 00:14:43,100
True or false?

186
00:14:43,100 --> 00:14:45,080
Not given question there.

187
00:14:45,350 --> 00:14:51,890
It always has the language that they're playing around with to make something true or false or not given.

188
00:14:52,820 --> 00:14:55,730
Number nine is very easy to find Copper Scroll.

189
00:14:56,720 --> 00:15:00,350
And then we're looking at written in an unusual way.

190
00:15:00,650 --> 00:15:02,270
That's the twist language.

191
00:15:02,420 --> 00:15:04,730
Ma Samuel Very easy to find.

192
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:06,680
Right.

193
00:15:06,770 --> 00:15:08,920
Was he given this as a gift?

194
00:15:08,930 --> 00:15:11,210
Was he not given this as a gift?

195
00:15:11,240 --> 00:15:13,070
Does it say he does?

196
00:15:13,190 --> 00:15:14,390
Is it silent?

197
00:15:16,650 --> 00:15:16,910
All right.

198
00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:23,370
Number 11, also very easy to find 1950s educational establishments.

199
00:15:24,510 --> 00:15:25,860
And number 12.

200
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:32,360
Something pieced together in 2017, in 2000 years.

201
00:15:32,690 --> 00:15:33,080
Right.

202
00:15:33,080 --> 00:15:37,790
So a lot of these questions have really good information.

203
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:42,690
But the words like the words like Bible.

204
00:15:43,770 --> 00:15:50,850
Copper Scroll Bar Samuel 1950 Educational Establishment 2017.

205
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:55,860
Those that language helped me find the right sentence.

206
00:15:56,620 --> 00:15:59,140
That's the language that helps you find the right sentence.

207
00:15:59,590 --> 00:16:04,510
The language in green is what they're going to use to determine true, false or not given.

208
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:05,780
All right.

209
00:16:05,780 --> 00:16:10,340
So before we start going through the passages and you try to answer the questions, does anybody have

210
00:16:10,340 --> 00:16:12,740
any questions about what I've talked about so far?

211
00:16:13,310 --> 00:16:18,110
If you have a question about anything I've talked about so far, type it in the chat box and I'll try

212
00:16:18,110 --> 00:16:20,060
to answer your question before we get started.

213
00:16:20,270 --> 00:16:25,850
Once we get started, once we get started answering the questions, please don't put anything in the

214
00:16:25,850 --> 00:16:27,950
chat box because it'll be a distraction.

215
00:16:28,660 --> 00:16:29,230
All right.

216
00:16:29,410 --> 00:16:31,480
But if you have any questions about.

217
00:16:32,140 --> 00:16:35,080
Fill in the blank questions or true false, not given questions.

218
00:16:35,620 --> 00:16:39,850
Go ahead and type your question right now and I'll try to answer your question.

219
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:55,240
You're going to have to type your question.

220
00:16:55,250 --> 00:16:56,660
You're not going to be able to go on video.

221
00:16:56,870 --> 00:17:02,000
If you have your video on, go in and turn your video off so you're not distracting anybody else.

222
00:17:02,900 --> 00:17:03,150
All right.

223
00:17:03,170 --> 00:17:03,870
No questions.

224
00:17:03,890 --> 00:17:04,940
Let's go ahead and keep going.

225
00:17:09,110 --> 00:17:09,440
All right.

226
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:12,350
So here is the feel, the blank question.

227
00:17:13,380 --> 00:17:13,910
All right.

228
00:17:14,010 --> 00:17:15,330
You see the passage on there.

229
00:17:15,330 --> 00:17:19,470
If you have the if you had your own passage in front of you, go ahead and use your book.

230
00:17:20,210 --> 00:17:20,580
Right.

231
00:17:20,580 --> 00:17:24,660
You have 7 minutes to answer these first five questions.

232
00:17:24,660 --> 00:17:25,590
7 minutes.

233
00:17:25,590 --> 00:17:27,300
And I am using a timer.

234
00:18:30,580 --> 00:18:30,930
He.

235
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:35,300
He.
