1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:03,420
It's great having you as a part of this course.

2
00:00:03,810 --> 00:00:06,360
Thanks for studying for the exam with us.

3
00:00:06,550 --> 00:00:12,960
Is now time to get into another strategy application lecture for the field of in question.

4
00:00:13,050 --> 00:00:15,300
So let's go ahead and get started right now.

5
00:00:16,080 --> 00:00:20,790
The field of blank question is really easy when it comes to strategy and tactics.

6
00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:28,860
You have to be able to identify the keywords in the question, then scan for those keywords and keep

7
00:00:28,860 --> 00:00:31,860
in mind that they're going to use synonyms and paraphrasing.

8
00:00:32,100 --> 00:00:39,030
But once you have found your matching sentence, then it's about being able to look in that sentence

9
00:00:39,030 --> 00:00:41,790
and identify the correct answer choice.

10
00:00:42,180 --> 00:00:47,850
The way you're able to do that is by looking in the sentence and finding the language that comes before

11
00:00:47,850 --> 00:00:49,380
and after the blank line.

12
00:00:49,590 --> 00:00:54,210
When you find that language, it will point you directly at the answer choice.

13
00:00:55,560 --> 00:01:01,530
So some key points that I really want you to keep in mind and remember, when you're looking at the

14
00:01:01,530 --> 00:01:06,060
matching sentence, don't focus on understanding the entire sentence.

15
00:01:06,390 --> 00:01:13,200
What I want you to do is look at the sentence and just focus on finding the language that comes before

16
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:14,810
and after the blank line.

17
00:01:14,820 --> 00:01:18,130
They're going to use synonyms and paraphrase that language.

18
00:01:18,150 --> 00:01:23,490
I also want you to know the questions can be created from more than one sentence, and that's important

19
00:01:23,490 --> 00:01:28,140
to understand when it comes to scanning for the language in the question.

20
00:01:28,140 --> 00:01:35,370
So part of the question language may come from sentence two in paragraph two, and part of that language

21
00:01:35,370 --> 00:01:37,080
may come from the third sentence.

22
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:43,390
In paragraph two, you always write the words exactly as they are in the reading passage.

23
00:01:43,410 --> 00:01:51,180
Don't paraphrase them, don't write synonyms of them, and then always know there are two key word types

24
00:01:51,180 --> 00:01:52,110
and a question.

25
00:01:52,410 --> 00:01:56,760
There's some words in the question that will help you find the matching sentence.

26
00:01:56,940 --> 00:02:00,270
And then there are other words that will point you to the answer choice.

27
00:02:00,540 --> 00:02:02,670
And very soon you'll see what I'm talking about.

28
00:02:04,410 --> 00:02:09,690
So coming up next, we're going to really get into some full passage application where we're going to

29
00:02:09,690 --> 00:02:13,920
go through the scanning process and answer application.

30
00:02:14,820 --> 00:02:20,760
Now, this field of blank question that we're working on comes from Cambridge Book ten, Test three,

31
00:02:20,760 --> 00:02:21,780
Part one.

32
00:02:22,170 --> 00:02:25,890
And it is the reading passage that talks about the scope of tourism.

33
00:02:26,070 --> 00:02:30,930
So go ahead and get your book open, your book up, and you can work right along with me.

34
00:02:32,660 --> 00:02:33,050
All right.

35
00:02:33,050 --> 00:02:37,820
And so on the left side, you see the beginning of the reading passage that I'm going to be working

36
00:02:37,820 --> 00:02:38,420
from.

37
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:43,550
And on the right side, you can see the end of the passage paragraphs, Daddy.

38
00:02:43,730 --> 00:02:48,980
And down below, we have our field of blank questions, numbers 11 through 13.

39
00:02:51,450 --> 00:02:58,440
So our first step in the process is identifying the keywords, and we're working under time conditions.

40
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:01,290
Everybody, we're working under time conditions.

41
00:03:01,470 --> 00:03:07,950
So what I need you to do right now is get your cell phone and turn on your stopwatch, and then you're

42
00:03:07,950 --> 00:03:10,470
going to set it for the times that I indicate.

43
00:03:13,070 --> 00:03:17,780
On the left hand side, we have the questions 11, 12 and 13.

44
00:03:18,230 --> 00:03:21,830
So can you identify the key words in the question?

45
00:03:22,400 --> 00:03:23,510
That's what I want you to do.

46
00:03:23,540 --> 00:03:26,540
Can you identify the keywords in each question?

47
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:28,580
Open up your Cambridge book.

48
00:03:29,030 --> 00:03:30,740
Turn to the reading passage.

49
00:03:30,980 --> 00:03:33,080
I want you to stop the lecture.

50
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:40,710
Set your timer for 30 seconds, and then I want you to circle or underline the keywords in questions

51
00:03:40,710 --> 00:03:42,000
11 through 13.

52
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:44,880
Go ahead and stop the lecture right now and do that.

53
00:03:49,580 --> 00:03:49,850
All right.

54
00:03:49,850 --> 00:03:57,170
So you can see here for questions 11 through 13, I have some language that's highlighted in yellow

55
00:03:57,740 --> 00:04:00,610
and other languages highlighted in blue.

56
00:04:00,620 --> 00:04:02,260
And let me explain the difference.

57
00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:08,300
The words highlighted in yellow are going to help me find the key word sentence.

58
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:10,940
They're going to help me find the key word sentence.

59
00:04:11,090 --> 00:04:14,750
So, for example, in number 11, Greece and tourism.

60
00:04:15,290 --> 00:04:19,220
Number 12, travel, tourism and also Jamaica should be highlighted.

61
00:04:19,670 --> 00:04:27,260
And then also for 13 problems and international tourism, these are the words that are going to help

62
00:04:27,260 --> 00:04:29,150
me find the matching sentence.

63
00:04:29,150 --> 00:04:32,480
I'm going to scan for that language in the reading passage.

64
00:04:32,870 --> 00:04:36,590
That's the language I'm scanning for now.

65
00:04:36,710 --> 00:04:38,660
The words you see in blue.

66
00:04:38,690 --> 00:04:46,820
Most important, the major measurement of those are the words I'm going to look for in the matching

67
00:04:46,820 --> 00:04:47,660
sentence.

68
00:04:48,500 --> 00:04:54,860
So, for example, Greece and tourism will help me find the matching sentence in the passage.

69
00:04:55,070 --> 00:05:01,220
Van, when I look at that sentence, all I'm looking for is the paraphrasing of most important.

70
00:05:01,850 --> 00:05:03,620
That's all I'm looking for.

71
00:05:03,860 --> 00:05:08,570
Once I find the paraphrasing and most important, I find the answer right next to it.

72
00:05:10,140 --> 00:05:11,790
The same thing for number 12.

73
00:05:12,120 --> 00:05:17,340
I'm going to use travel, tourism and Jamaica to find the matching sentence.

74
00:05:17,550 --> 00:05:23,640
Then I will read that and not read the sentence, but really scan through the sentence and find the

75
00:05:23,640 --> 00:05:25,890
language that paraphrases the major.

76
00:05:26,250 --> 00:05:29,460
Once I find that language, I find the answer choice.

77
00:05:29,850 --> 00:05:34,410
So when I talk about two different types of key words, that's what I mean.

78
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:39,600
You have some words that help you find the matching sentence and then other words that point you to

79
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:40,680
the answer choice.

80
00:05:42,630 --> 00:05:46,620
So now we're going to go ahead and scan for the matching sentences.

81
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:53,970
If you are working on this in your book and you want to scan and answer, scan and answer, then you

82
00:05:53,970 --> 00:06:00,150
will set your timer for 5 minutes and then go ahead and answer questions 11 through 13 completely.

83
00:06:00,690 --> 00:06:05,250
What I'm going to do right now is we're going to work on the aspect of scanning.

84
00:06:05,610 --> 00:06:12,170
Scanning is such a critical, critical aspect to doing well on the exam.

85
00:06:12,690 --> 00:06:19,500
And so in the next slide, we're going to go ahead and scan for the matching sentences.

86
00:06:20,100 --> 00:06:22,350
And on the exam, you can do it both ways.

87
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:24,750
Okay.

88
00:06:24,750 --> 00:06:31,920
So you should have been able to find the matching sentences for numbers 11, 12 and 13 in paragraph

89
00:06:31,950 --> 00:06:32,400
E.

90
00:06:33,340 --> 00:06:38,740
Number 11 is right here in this sentence that starts off, for example, we see the word tourism.

91
00:06:38,740 --> 00:06:40,090
We see the word Greece.

92
00:06:40,090 --> 00:06:42,940
So number 11 must come from this sentence.

93
00:06:43,630 --> 00:06:49,840
Number 12, we see it in the next sentence where it starts with in addition, it says travel and tourism,

94
00:06:49,840 --> 00:06:51,350
and we see also Jamaica.

95
00:06:51,370 --> 00:06:54,370
So the answer for number 12 comes from this sentence.

96
00:06:54,370 --> 00:07:00,730
And then number 13 is in the next sentence where we see the word problems, statistical measurement

97
00:07:00,940 --> 00:07:06,550
and also worldwide tourism, which is a paraphrasing of international tourism.

98
00:07:06,820 --> 00:07:08,560
So everything is right there.

99
00:07:09,820 --> 00:07:14,620
And then once we know where the matching sentences are, then, like I said, we're looking in this

100
00:07:14,620 --> 00:07:16,660
sentence and looking for the paraphrasing.

101
00:07:16,660 --> 00:07:21,700
The most important we're looking for the paraphrasing of the major.

102
00:07:21,820 --> 00:07:24,820
And then for number 13, we're looking for what they're measuring.

103
00:07:28,330 --> 00:07:32,890
Here it is in a little bit bigger font, so you can maybe see it a little bit better.

104
00:07:37,190 --> 00:07:41,870
Now we're going to try to answer the questions in 2 minutes.

105
00:07:42,410 --> 00:07:49,010
Just 2 minutes, because these questions are we only have three questions, 11, 12 and 13.

106
00:07:49,460 --> 00:07:52,430
We already know where the matching sentences are.

107
00:07:52,910 --> 00:07:58,640
So since we know where the matching sentences are located, we can easily look through those sentences

108
00:07:58,640 --> 00:08:00,110
and find our answers.

109
00:08:00,110 --> 00:08:03,770
So set a stopwatch on 2 minutes right now.

110
00:08:07,240 --> 00:08:10,220
So can you find the answers in under 2 minutes?

111
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:11,320
Look in your book.

112
00:08:12,260 --> 00:08:18,740
Stop the lecture, set your clock for 2 minutes and find the answers for 11, 12 and 13.

113
00:08:24,410 --> 00:08:29,210
So did you select the correct words as answer choices?

114
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:29,930
Let's see.

115
00:08:31,240 --> 00:08:34,420
Number 11 is source of income.

116
00:08:35,050 --> 00:08:37,340
Number 12 is employer.

117
00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:39,820
And number 13 is domestic tourism.

118
00:08:40,590 --> 00:08:48,840
So for number 11, when you look at this sentence right here, this word major is a paraphrasing of

119
00:08:48,840 --> 00:08:49,950
most important.

120
00:08:50,100 --> 00:08:52,770
So the answer is source of income.

121
00:08:53,640 --> 00:08:56,870
They also would have accepted the word industry as an answer.

122
00:08:56,880 --> 00:09:03,600
Also, I'm not sure why, but apparently that's somewhere in here where they believe that industry is

123
00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:05,130
also an acceptable answer.

124
00:09:05,370 --> 00:09:10,650
But the paraphrase made the word major is a paraphrasing of most important.

125
00:09:10,980 --> 00:09:14,100
And so the answer that I would put is source of income.

126
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:16,030
For number 12.

127
00:09:16,030 --> 00:09:19,600
We're looking for, again, a paraphrasing of the major.

128
00:09:20,470 --> 00:09:23,320
And here we see number one ranked.

129
00:09:23,560 --> 00:09:26,830
Number one ranked is a paraphrasing of the major.

130
00:09:26,830 --> 00:09:28,960
So the correct answer is employer.

131
00:09:29,500 --> 00:09:35,530
Now, for those of you that don't understand the exam and you said, oh, I see the word major right

132
00:09:35,530 --> 00:09:38,260
there, and there's the word major right there.

133
00:09:38,260 --> 00:09:41,500
So for number 12, I'm going to write the answer as source of income.

134
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:45,760
Again, keep in mind, it's an English test.

135
00:09:46,630 --> 00:09:48,370
It's an English test.

136
00:09:49,030 --> 00:09:57,280
And they are doing that deliberately to trick you because somebody with a low level of English will

137
00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:00,220
say, well, there's the word major, there's the word major.

138
00:10:00,220 --> 00:10:02,350
So I'm just going to write the word source of income.

139
00:10:03,370 --> 00:10:05,050
Paraphrasing and synonyms.

140
00:10:05,050 --> 00:10:06,790
That's what that's what we're looking for.

141
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:11,980
For number 13, we're going to measure domestic tourism.

142
00:10:11,980 --> 00:10:15,040
There it is right there, measured domestic domestic tourism.

143
00:10:15,220 --> 00:10:22,810
Now, you might say, well, here they're not really dealing with a synonym or paraphrasing here.

144
00:10:22,990 --> 00:10:29,680
What they're testing is your recognition of word form, that the word measure is a different word form

145
00:10:29,680 --> 00:10:31,030
of the word measurement.

146
00:10:31,240 --> 00:10:33,010
That's what they're testing here.

147
00:10:33,340 --> 00:10:37,630
And so you would write domestic tourism as your answer choice.

148
00:10:39,740 --> 00:10:40,160
All right.

149
00:10:40,160 --> 00:10:46,640
So if you want to read a little bit more about the explanation for the answer to each question, you

150
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:47,900
can read that right here.

151
00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:52,520
Thank you so much for joining me.

152
00:10:52,610 --> 00:10:57,500
I really hope that you're getting a better grasp on the field of play in question.

153
00:10:57,770 --> 00:11:01,460
I want you to give these all correct when you take the exam.

154
00:11:01,730 --> 00:11:04,070
I'll see you in the next strategy video.

155
00:11:04,100 --> 00:11:04,730
Take care.
