All right.
So coming up next, I'm going to be looking at a true false and a given question.
And this is a this is a class where I'm teaching.
I'm teaching.
So I'm walking through this step by step by step.
I'm walking through all the different parts that you have to be able to do.
To answer this question of correctly is not just open the book, find your own answers, and I'll,
you know, and then I'll go over it.
That's that's not what we're doing.
I'm teaching strategy and skill.
So if you just want to practice on your own, you can go open up the book and answer on your own and
then come back later on to find out the answers or whatever.
But this is a step by step process I'm going to work through.
And the very first step when you're dealing with a true false not giving question is dealing with identifying
the keywords.
And the question I'm working from, as I stated in the announcement I'm working from, is academic 16.
I am doing I'm working from test one, passage one why we need to protect the polar bear.
And so that is the test and passage I'm working for from to do the yes no not given question.
So in this one, there are seven questions.
This is what a typical reading passage would look like.
We have one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight paragraphs, eight paragraphs.
And so our very first job would be to identify the keywords, identify the keywords.
We're trying to identify the keywords.
So let's look at this, look at questions one through seven.
And I want you to write down on your own on your own piece of paper, not in the box.
I'm going to say this three times, so forgive me.
Do not write anything in the box.
Do not write any response in the box.
Do not put anything in the box, in the chat box, on your own, on a piece of paper.
Or if you have your own book underlying or highlight the key words for each question.
For questions one through seven.
And I'm going to give you 45 seconds to do that.
Actually some of you are writing, so I'll give a little bit more time if you're writing on a piece
of paper.
But all I want you to do is just identify the keywords in each question one through seven.
What are going to be the keywords?
Identifying the keywords is really important because when you scan right, when you scan for the questions
that you scan for the matching sentence in the passage, those are the words that are going to help
you find the matching sentence.
All right.
So let's take a look at the key words.
So the words in yellow are what I would identify as the keywords.
So for number one, health problems and fat under the skin.
Number two, study Lu and his colleagues in the work compared Lu and colleagues and brown bears bad
cholesterol and genetic female and six months without food.
Number six bones.
Female and den.
And number seven, mechanism.
Bone density and people.
Those are words that I would identify as the keywords that are going to make it easy to find the matching
sentences.
Right now.
The other thing you want to think about when you identify keywords and you're scanning for the matching
sentence is when you're looking at these seven questions.
When you're looking at these seven questions, which question or which question or questions are likely
going to be the easiest to start with first.
And now, if you want to, you can respond in the chat box.
Which question do you think is the easiest to start with first?
351.
Five one.
So.
Yeah.
Right.
So.
Yeah.
All right, please stop.
All right.
Thanks.
Everybody, stop, please.
Okay.
So for me.
I would say either start with number, I would start with number two or three because it has a person's
name that's going to be extremely easy to find.
Right.
That's going to be extremely easy to find.
Also, if some of you all said number five, you could start with number five because I have six months.
Right.
That's always also a good one to start with.
But say, for example, like I said, I would start with number two or 3/1.
That's what I would start with first.
And then say, for example, if you started with number three, if you start with number three, meaning
that number three would be the first one.
First question I would stand for.
And once I find number three, I know because the question is going order two and one are before that
four or five, six, seven or after that.
If, for example, you had started with number four, which also has good language because the word
cholesterol, there's there's no synonym for cholesterol, to be honest with you.
Right.
And the word bad is in quotations, which means that very likely it's going to be a quote directly from
the passage.
So that could actually be easy to find.
Also, if you start with number four, you know, 3 to 1 are above it.
You know, five, six, seven or below it.
Is that easy?
Right.
That's how you stand.
And so these will be the key words that we would identify.
Right now.
We're going to talk about the twist language and the twist language.
Is is are the words that the test designer will use to make something to be true, false or not given,
or a response of yes or no or not given.
It is possible for a twist, language and a keyword to be the same, but most of the time is different.
So what I want you to do is I want you to look at the questions.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven.
And I want you to excuse me.
I want you to want a piece of paper or in your own book.
I want you to identify for each question.
What is going what is the twist language?
What language is the designer using to to make something to be true, false or not given?
Again, do not put anything in the chat box.
Do not put anything in the chat box.
I'll give you one minute on your own to try to identify what would be the twist language for each question.
Well.
Twist language is important because it's the twist language that determines true or false or not given.
All right.
So let's take a look at it and let's just go through a question by question.
And now I'm going to ask you to put something in the box, but please listen carefully.
Do not put anything yet.
Just for question one, just for question one.
What is going to be the twist language from question one that the author is going to use to make it
be true or false or not given?
Okay.
Good.
Stop, please.
Stop, stop, stop.
Alright.
Whoever.
Whoever said suffer from or suffer from or suffer from various.
That is the actual twist language.
It's not it's not the word various but suffer from either the passage is going to say is going to confirm
that they suffer from this or it's going to contradict that they suffer from this or it's going to have
missing that they suffer from this.
That's how that's how you make answering a question easy.
Instead of looking what all the all the sentences and comparing it to what all the questions says,
you look for it and you say, does the pastor say they suffer from it?
Does it confirm that?
If so, hey, that's the answer.
Does it contradict that?
All right.
What about number two?
What's the twist?
Language.
Right here will probably be you will probably have it as compared different groups.
Right.
Compare different groups.
Either it's going to say it's going to confirm that they compared different groups is going to contradict
that they confirm that they compared the work compared with be part of the twist language everybody.
The word compare will be part of it.
It will say.
It will confirm that they compared it.
It will contradict that they compared it or will be absent.
What about number three?
Yes.
Mariam, right.
Stop, please.
Right.
The language would be where the first researchers.
We're the first researchers.
We're the first researchers is going to confirm that.
Contradict it or be missing whether or not they were first.
What about number four?
Good job.
Stop able to control it will confirm that they're able to control it will contradict they're able to
control or it will be absent whether or not they're able to control.
I hope you see how much easier it is to answer a question.
Were you able to identify what the person is using to twist language to the make a true false or not
given?
You have to understand question design number five.
No, not six months without food.
That's probably going to be there able to survive.
Exactly.
It will confirm they're able to survive, it will contradict it or it'll be missing number six.
Very weak.
A lot of you are getting the point now.
Thank thank thank you.
That a lot of you are starting to understand.
It will it will confirm very weak.
It will it will confirm.
Their bones are very weak.
It will contradicted.
The bones are very weak or it will be missing.
And number seven.
Used by people.
Use by people could be used by people.
Could be used by people.
Right.
So one thing you'll notice is that twist language is very often following a verb or a modal.
Were the first researchers are able to control are able to survive were very weak could also be used.
Okay.
So I hope that really kind of clarifies the words in yellow.
Why were very weak.
Um, you know, because I mean, that's that's the that's the point they're making.
Right.
That's the that's the that's the point the person is making in number six.
That's the whole point of the sentence.
That the bones were very weak.
That's the point.
So either it's going to say they were very weak.
They were not very weak or.
That that information is missing.
I don't know what that means about the question.
Ain't hidden in it.
I don't have no idea what that means.
So that's the language in yellow are the key words.
And those are the key words are what you really stand for in terms of the matching sentence.
The language in green is the twist language.
So the language in yellow is what you use, define the matching sentence.
And then once you find the matching sentence, you look at the matching sentence and you determine,
is that twist, language confirmed, contradicted, or is it missing?
That's it.
It is not more complicated than that.
Right.
It's not more complicated than that.
Can you give true, false slander?
Ahmad Write true.
Write false.
