Now moving forward, we're going to take a look at a a pick two or three from a list here.
We're going to we're picking two.
We have two questions.
We have questions one and two, which gives us a list that we have to pick.
Two advantages it says there.
And then for questions three and four, it says we have to pick two disadvantages.
Right?
So pick two advantages here.
It says pick two disadvantages.
Now, sometimes with this question, you might see it where they'll give you a list of seven or eight
things and they'll say pick three that are mentioned in the passage, or they'll say, Pick four that
I mentioned in the passage.
So it's possible to see this question in slightly different formats.
So with this question, it says here the list below.
Now to pick an answer choice, you just click in the box.
If I don't like that answer choice, I click in the box and I eliminate it.
I have to pick two, but that's what you do.
If you like that one, you choose it.
If you don't like it, click it and get out of it.
The list below gives some advantages for employing older workers.
Advantages for employing older workers.
That's what I'm looking for.
What to advantages are mentioned.
Clearly when older people do heavier work.
All right.
So here we're talking about older people.
Right.
You can affect their productivity, but other skills may increase with age.
Here are the advantages.
Right when they say other skills may increase with age.
That's synonym language for advantages, including many that are good for management.
Such as?
Here's the first one.
An ability to handle people diplomatically.
To run a meeting or spot a problem before to run a meeting.
That's the third thing.
That's the second one.
I'm sorry.
Or to spot a problem before it blows up.
Right.
So now I need to look at my answer choices.
I can look at this next sentence and see.
This next sentence is talking about questions three and four, this next paragraph, because the topic
sentence is talking about the virtues of young.
Right?
So the first paragraph from the topic sentence is talking about old people.
And in the second paragraph, I can see they're talking about the young people, because that's what
the topic sentence tells me.
So first, let's look at this list, because the key the key thing with this question is you have to
be able to find the synonym match.
You have to be able to find the synonym match.
So look it right here.
Look at this language and ability to handle people diplomatically and ability to handle people diplomatically.
Now look at the list.
Look at this list.
And see if you can find one that relates to the ability to handle people diplomatically.
They are more skilled in personal relationships.
Being skilled in person relationships is the same thing related to handling, having an ability to handle
skill, ability to handle people diplomatically.
There's the first one running a meeting.
Is there anything here about running a meeting?
Running a meeting?
Well, nothing about running a meeting, spotting a problem before it blows up.
Nothing about accidents.
Predict areas that may cause trouble in the future.
There it is right there.
Spot a problem before it blows up.
That means.
That means recognizing a problem.
Recognizing something before it becomes a problem.
That means like predicting areas that may cause future.
Now, what a lot of people will make the mistake of doing and here's a trap right here is they'll say
they can deal with unexpected problems.
That's not what it says.
That was the trap a lot of you are going to say, oh, wow, I see the word problems.
There's the word problems and there's the word problems.
I see the same word.
So I'm going to pick that answer choice.
Don't fall for that trap.
It's a trap.
Don't fall for it.
It does not say they can deal with or manage unexpected problems.
That's not what it says.
It says they can see a problem before it blows up or see a problem before it happens.
That's talking about predicting things or seeing things or seeing potential problems in the future.
That's what makes this question tricky and sometimes difficult for students, as you have to find similar
meaning.
You have to find similar meaning.
That's what makes it an English test.
Now we'll questions three and four.
We can see how they answer one and two because they've changed colors.
Now the question is three and four.
The list below gives some disadvantages of employing younger workers.
So now I'm looking for disadvantages of employing younger workers.
All right.
So here I know we're talking about younger workers.
I'm looking for disadvantages.
Right.
This is time of older workers having good judgment and good productivity.
Besides, our education standards are much better than young graduate students, so they are somewhat
older.
People's education is much better than younger graduates.
So that's actually a disadvantage for the for the young graduates is they don't have as much education.
Companies may say that older workers are not worth training because they are reaching the end of their
working lives.
In fact, young people tend to switch jobs so frequently that their offer, that the offer the worse
returns in training.
That's a disadvantage also because they switch jobs so much, they don't offer good training.
All right.
So let's find something about education or not having good education.
Right here says they're not as well educated.
That's the first disadvantage.
And the second one deals with switching jobs.
And that's right here again, synonym language.
Synonym language.
Synonym language, synonym language.
All right.
So I hope that was helpful.
And I will talk to you soon.
