Hi there.
In this lecture, we're going to write these specific detail paragraphs for the table that we were previously
working on in the last lecture.
So when we're talking about these specific comparison paragraphs, of course it's all about the data,
the details, the numbers, the differences, the similarities.
We're being specific here.
Each specific details, paragraph.
You have 5 minutes to write, 5 minutes for paragraph three, 5 minutes for paragraph four.
Total of 10 minutes.
I want you to always work with a clock.
With a clock, with a clock.
And for each specific details, paragraph, you're going to have three sentences, three sentences for
paragraph three, three sentences for paragraph number four.
So here's what we were.
Here's what we were working on before.
We have our table and, you know, we've already written the introduction and the general overview.
Now we're working on specific details, paragraphs three and four.
So first of all, you can look at my table.
And I have color coded the information that I'm going to compare.
And to score.
Well, it's all about how well you write the sentence.
What level of grammar are you using?
What level of vocabulary are you using?
Because if you're using simple sentences, simple short sentences, simple basic vocabulary, it's really
difficult to score above a six.
So you have to show your skill level.
Now for this one is really obvious how we're going to separate.
We're going to use the coffee table for paragraph number three and the bananas table for paragraph number
four.
So if you want to go ahead and stop your lecture right now, set your clock on 5 minutes and write your
third paragraph about coffee.
Then when you come back, compare your paragraph to what I wrote.
Do a comparison.
This is this is something you can use for comparison purposes.
Look at how I describe the numbers.
Look at the vocabulary that I used.
Try to take some of what I'm doing and add that into your own paragraph.
That way you know how to raise your level of English and score much better.
So set the clock on 5 minutes.
Write your paragraph, your third paragraph, and then come back.
Okay.
Let's take a look at my third paragraph.
Starting from 1999, Switzerland doubled its coffee receipts, equalling amount of 6 million.
Also in 1999, the UK placed in the middle of the pack.
But by 2004, it trafficked 20 million in coffee goods by massively increasing revenue by 18.5 million.
Similarly, similarly to the UK, but in a more modest fashion, the remaining countries augmented their
numbers by a few hundred thousand over the five years.
Now let's go back and unpack what I did.
First of all, we're looking we're looking at Switzerland.
And I stated double 3 million to 6 million.
That's doubled.
Right.
Equalling an amount of 6 billion.
Also in 1999, the UK placed in the middle of the pack.
I'm highlighting that language placed in the middle of the pack because that's the type of uncommon
phrasing that shows you have a higher level of English right in the middle of the pack.
Which is true because here we have Switzerland at three.
Denmark at 1.8 and Belgium's at one.
And Sweden 20.8.
UK is in the middle of the pack.
But by 2004, it trafficked.
That's another way of saying selling a range of vocabulary.
$20 Million in Coffee Goods by massively increasing revenue.
Great collocation.
By 18.5 million, similarly to the UK, but in a more modest fashion again phrasing.
The remaining countries augmented their numbers.
We're talking about change, increasing the numbers by a few hundred thousand over the five years.
So I'm showing you vocabulary phrasing.
This is how you can really show off your level of English.
Increase your score and be above a seven.
Now we're going to go ahead and move forward and talk about the bananas, what happened in 1999?
What happened in 2004?
So if you want to right now, go ahead and stop the lecture.
Set your clock on 5 minutes and write your bananas paragraph and then come back and compare what you
did to what I wrote.
Okay.
Let's take a look at my fourth paragraph.
As for banana transactions this time, Switzerland more than tripled its monetary gains from the bananas
over the five years, tripled more than triple 15 to 47.
Look at the range of vocabulary transactions, monetary gains.
This is how you show the examiners I belong at an 8 to 9 level.
My range is wide.
At the five year interval closing.
Again, this is uncommon phrasing that shows a high level of English.
Belgium and the UK experienced small sales expansion.
Another way of saying increasing sales.
With bananas climbing by 4.5 million and 3.4 million respectively.
When it comes to Denmark and Sweden's performance during the Demi decade, banana dealings declined
by approximately half.
Dealings deals with sales.
Using the word win, we're using a subordinate conjunction.
We have a complex sentence.
You notice all of my verbs are in the past tense, experienced, tripled, declined.
So.
You have to have the right information.
But how you say it makes all the difference in the world.
So I'm sure for a lot of you that are watching this lecture right now, when you wrote your paragraph,
you have the same information that I have.
But look at the difference in your writing and mind.
What words, what vocabulary could you use to show more range?
What can I do to increase my score?
That's what you should be doing.
Looking at your paragraphs, looking at my paragraphs and examining What can I do?
How can I say this differently to increase my score?
So here we have my introduction.
We're putting it all together now, my general overview.
My third body paragraph and my fourth body paragraph.
OC.
Coming up next, we're going to look at the two different charts or graphs.
Question We're going to go ahead and talk about being able to scan and look for what information we're
going to use and then applying our strategy.
Thank you very much for joining me.
I hope you learned a lot and I'll talk to you soon.
