Hello there and welcome to another strategy video.
In this strategy video, we're going to be going over three different question types, three different
question types.
We're going through a complete we're going through a complete reading passage.
That means we're doing all the different questions in this reading passage.
Whenever you have a situation on the on the general exam where you have three different question types,
you're always in section number three when you have one reading passage with three different question
types for that one reading passage, that means that the set up is exactly what you would have, is
similar to what you have, almost exactly what you would have on the academic test.
So if you're taking the academic test going through or listening to this lecture, as I break down the
question, strategy, strategy is actually great for you also if you're an academic student.
All right.
So today we're dealing with.
We're dealing with a paragraph location question, a summary question and a yes no, not given question.
Now, you have seen me talk about the yes no, not giving question several times and the other videos.
So I'm not going to go real deep into the strategy.
You've also seen me heard me talk about the summary question.
The new one that we have here that we're dealing with is the paragraph location question.
The paragraph location question is one of the most difficult questions for most students to manage,
and that's because they go about doing it wrong.
If you look at the strategy here, this is what we're talking about.
Number one, do it last.
Do it last.
If it's in a set of three like year, do it last.
Most of the time you're going to see this one in passage.
Number three, underline underline the keywords and the questions.
Right.
Even though you're doing it last, even though you're doing it last, go ahead and underline the go
ahead and underline those questions or underlying those key words in the questions.
All right.
For this to do to do well for this question, you got to pay attention to the topic sentences as very
often these point to if that paragraph has the question, statement, information.
All right.
This question can be quite time consuming.
So you do the other questions first, like for this question said we would do the yes no, not given
question first, then we would do the summary question and then we would do the paragraph location question.
However, like I said, we're going to look at the we're still going to first underline or highlight
the key words in the paragraph location question.
That way, when I'm doing the yes no not giving question or in the summary question, I can look out
for those keywords from the paragraph location question.
So I hope that makes sense.
Maybe I'll make more sense as I'm going through the question with you guys.
All right.
So let's go ahead and move through this reading passage.
You're going go ahead.
And if you need to pause the video and take the time and review the strategy for the summary question
and review the strategy for the yes no, not given question.
We've hit that a couple of times already, so you should be familiar with that strategy already.
So
here we go.
We're talking about the mass appeal of the mantra.
Now, some of you might say, I don't know what a manta ray is.
Doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter.
Eventually you'll find out what it is.
But don't let that freak you out.
We have our paragraph location question 28, 29 and 30.
We have our true false given question.
We have our summary question.
So we have all three of these question types that we have to do, and we're going to do the true false
giving question first.
But like I say, I'm going to go ahead and look at my keywords that I need to watch out for while I'm
doing the other questions like this question is asking.
Which paragraph mentions the following?
All right, we need a paragraph that's talking about a record being kept.
We need a paragraph talking about.
Something the writer regrets.
You know what's interesting?
And we need a paragraph that's talking about the reason.
Reason for the writer's visit.
Reason for his visit.
So we want to burn down, burn those keywords in our mind.
We need a paragraph talking about records being kept of the manta rays and a paragraph talking about
something the writer regrets.
And we need a paragraph talking about a reason for the writer's visit.
One thing that we'll notice is that it doesn't say in the directions.
It doesn't say we can use a paragraph more than once.
Excuse me.
So we have to notice that our always pay attention to our directions.
So let's first start with our true false, not given question.
All right.
Now, when we look at the true, false, not given question, if you remember the strategy, if you
remember the strategy, we are always going to look first and see which questions are the easiest to
do first.
And right off the.
Right off the bat.
Okay.
That right off the bat means from the start.
Right.
Really good to use in speaking section if you want to sound like a native speaker right off the bat.
Two names, right?
Guy Stevens and Mohamed Nasheed.
Those are going to be really easy to find.
All right.
And.
For Guy Stevens is also going to talk about this word here.
And number 32, hotel guests, key words, our hotel guests and arranged on short notice something about
hotel guests and viewing mantas arranged on short notice.
Number 31, difficult to distinguish.
Difficult to distinguish.
The man to man does not really a key word.
You will see that everywhere.
All right.
Matt appeared to object to the presence of people.
That's what that one's about.
And number 36 is a procedure.
Established.
Control.
Visitors.
Okay.
So let's go ahead and I'm going to first go through the the scanning and just showing you again that
these sentences go in order.
And then in a separate document, we'll go through the breakdown of answering the questions, really
applying the true false not given strategy in terms of answering these questions and question types.
All right.
So.
One moment.
So let's go ahead and move forward and find where these instances are.
All right.
So.
There is Muhammad Nasheed right there.
Okay.
And when we're doing this, and especially dealing with and dealing with the name, we have to always
check and make sure that we are able to that the name doesn't appear more than one time.
We definitely want to make sure about that, that the name doesn't appear more than one time.
Mohamed Nasheed is Mohamed Nasheed and also was talking about I guess we should have finished this out
persuading other countries.
And for Guy Stevens, we always want to look we always want to know the we have a strong verb like concerned
or what is he worried about?
Because that helps, you know, if you're in the right sentence or not also.
So, Mohamed, we're talking about something about other countries and here is Mohammed's name.
And also be aware be aware of when they're giving somebodies name, be aware of the second sentence
because it's probably going to be using a reference pronoun.
So this is actually the sentence that we should be looking at because it's talking about something with
world leaders.
And the question is asking about what he said to world leaders or try to convince the world.
So that's going to be probably our sentence for that one.
Here we see Guy.
Right here.
Now, I know that there's going to be one another space where we see guy because they don't have his
full name here.
They don't have his full name.
And yes, you see me as I'm scanning up.
Right?
I'm scanning up.
And one reason I'm doing that is it helps me to not read.
Sometimes I like to scan up or scan from right to left when I use me, scan from right to left.
What?
I'm looking for certain words, because it helped me to avoid actually the process of reading, which
slows me down right now.
This is probably going to be our correct sentence because I see this language that says it's something
that guy has been monitoring closely.
If these when he hears a synonym language right here, everybody, this is an example.
This is an example of synonym language.
If it says it's something that he's been monitoring closely, that means it's something he's been worried
about.
Now I'm I'm going to need to check to make sure that there aren't other sentences with the name guy
where it has that has synonym language.
Right.
Because if you see if we see his name someplace else, that other sentence where we see his name has
to have synonym language for is concerned about or worried about or like it says here is monitoring
closely.
Right.
So for right now, it looks like number 35 is right here.
That's our comparison sentence for number 35 and this right here, whereas quoting him is our comparison
sentence for 34.
All right.
Now we're going to see guys someplace else.
And here we go.
Here's Guy also feeding events as Guy calls him.
I never guaranteed nothing in this sentence about being worried.
If Guy and his research center's research assistants spot significant manta activity, the gifts will
be brought.
Nothing in there about nothing.
No language.
Guy Stevens is my guide.
There is no language in this sentence that has a synonym for worried or concerned.
That's how I know we see Guy here.
But look at that sentence.
Look at it.
Is there any synonym language for a worried or concerned?
No.
So that's not our sentence.
Look at this sentence where you see guy.
Is there any synonym language for worried or concerned?
No.
So that's our sentence, right?
And like I said, they're not going to put, you know, this sentence.
They're not what they're not going to do on the exam is this they're not going to have this sentence
with the word guy or name guy and language that means something he's monitoring closely, which means
which is a synonym for concerned about and have another sentence with that same language.
They're not going to do that.
And you need to be confident about that because it's going to help you go faster.
So we know where 34 and 35 are.
That means that 36 is below 34 and 33, 32 and 31 are above there.
But I found those too quickly and if I were doing the real exam, I would have gone ahead and answered
number 34 and 35 right away.
Right away, without any hesitation.
I would not have I would not have gone ahead and try to answer or find all the sentences first and then
start answering.
So I wouldn't have done that.
Let's go ahead and keep looking.
Something about number 33 is meant to raise appear to be the object appear to object to the presence
of people.
So I'm looking for a language with people and manta rays and language that means the same as objection.
OC.
All right.
I see the language already.
All right.
So they seem not to mind.
All right.
They is referring to the mantis.
All right.
And there's synonym for people, which is human.
That means this is where number I think is 33.
This is where number 33 is.
And 32 is for hotel guests.
Viewing the manta viewing the mantra of feeding has to be arranged at short notice.
Okay.
There it is.
Feeding events.
Hotel guests.
All right.
Feeding events and hotel guests.
That means that that's that sentence there.
Like I said, there's not going to be another not going to be two sentences with both with all the same
language.
All right.
That's our sentence for this one.
That's for number 32.
And as you see, the questions go in order.
The question is go in order.
That's where number 32 is.
And what I'm doing here, everybody is I'm doing this because I'm just going through a scanning exercise.
Right?
I'm scanning for matching language or keywords from the question.
So I know where the sentences are.
And I'm just I'm just showing you, Howard, number 31, it is difficult to distinguish one manta ray
from another.
Difficult to distinguish.
I'm looking for a language that deals with distinguishing.
And I see it already.
Right.
I'm not really reading.
I'm just I'm actually scanning up and down looking for synonyms.
I know that may seem strange.
Some people like to go right to left, as if almost as if you were reading Arabic.
So if you're one of my students that are from Saudi Arabia or from Egypt and you actually read or you
actually have a language that goes from right to left, it's actually pretty it's not going to be easy.
But actually, you should be more comfortable scanning that way, scan that way, scan.
When you're scanning for a synonym language from four questions, do it as if you're doing it, as if
you're writing Arabic and go from right to left.
That way you are.
You're avoiding reading and you're just looking for synonym language to know where your sentences are.
All right.
Here's our other one.
Right here is their distinctive skin patterns.
So that deals with distinguishing distinctive and distinguishing or synonyms.
And that means that number 31 is right there in that sentence.
