1 00:00:00,640 --> 00:00:01,060 Okay. 2 00:00:01,060 --> 00:00:07,180 So at this point, you should have a general understanding of the strategy that we need to use when 3 00:00:07,180 --> 00:00:09,490 working through a summary question. 4 00:00:09,640 --> 00:00:19,120 And now in this lecture, I'm going to walk you through step by step how to apply that strategy to a 5 00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:20,820 reading summary question. 6 00:00:20,830 --> 00:00:24,210 So please pay attention and follow along with me. 7 00:00:24,220 --> 00:00:25,630 Let's go ahead and get started. 8 00:00:29,420 --> 00:00:37,730 So just as a quick review in terms of the summary question strategy, we have to be able to identify 9 00:00:37,730 --> 00:00:39,380 the keywords in the question. 10 00:00:39,770 --> 00:00:46,790 We want to choose the easiest question to do first, and then we want to focus on the language that 11 00:00:46,790 --> 00:00:55,250 is before and after the blank line that will help us recognize very quickly what word is the right answer 12 00:00:55,250 --> 00:00:59,930 choice in the passage sentence that's really, really important. 13 00:00:59,930 --> 00:01:04,730 Everybody don't worry about trying to understand the entire sentence. 14 00:01:04,730 --> 00:01:09,230 Once you found the key word sentence, that's not what is required of you. 15 00:01:09,620 --> 00:01:11,840 You need to be able to find where is this? 16 00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:16,670 Where is this language that is before and after the blank line? 17 00:01:17,450 --> 00:01:24,920 Because if I find the synonyms or the paraphrasing of that language, the answer is always right there. 18 00:01:26,130 --> 00:01:30,150 So we want to work on applying our answer strategy. 19 00:01:30,180 --> 00:01:34,350 Doing well on the exam is all about application of strategy. 20 00:01:34,650 --> 00:01:37,920 Many students can comprehend the strategy. 21 00:01:38,100 --> 00:01:39,750 They can understand it. 22 00:01:40,170 --> 00:01:44,880 But you have to be able to apply that strategy under time conditions. 23 00:01:47,460 --> 00:01:54,060 So coming up next, we're going to go ahead and work on full passage application where we're going to 24 00:01:54,060 --> 00:01:57,270 be scanning and applying the answer strategy. 25 00:01:58,110 --> 00:02:04,980 Now, this format that I'm using in terms of how I'm setting up the the reading passages and the questions 26 00:02:04,980 --> 00:02:11,730 and how I'm walking through it, this is going to be the new format where I'm going to be updating all 27 00:02:11,730 --> 00:02:18,570 of the other lectures with this new format in terms of presenting the reading strategy application questions. 28 00:02:18,900 --> 00:02:24,930 So you can let me know how you like this new format, because I've gotten some feedback from students 29 00:02:24,930 --> 00:02:29,640 and they want me to kind of change the formatting a little bit so they can see all the passage. 30 00:02:29,640 --> 00:02:34,560 And so this is the new format I might go to, so I hope you like it. 31 00:02:34,560 --> 00:02:35,790 Let's go ahead and get started. 32 00:02:38,290 --> 00:02:41,590 So we're working on a passage summary question. 33 00:02:43,530 --> 00:02:50,040 So here we have a summary a summary question right here at the bottom where it says facial vision. 34 00:02:50,550 --> 00:02:53,100 And we have the passage right here. 35 00:02:53,130 --> 00:02:54,540 This is called Let's Go. 36 00:02:54,690 --> 00:02:57,300 Let's is from book seven, test number one. 37 00:02:58,530 --> 00:03:02,550 And we have paragraphs A, B, C and D. 38 00:03:02,820 --> 00:03:08,130 There's also a paragraph E, but I didn't include it for these purposes in terms of trying to fit everything 39 00:03:08,130 --> 00:03:13,650 on the screen for you so that we can work on our application of the strategy. 40 00:03:13,920 --> 00:03:19,680 So we have our reading passage and we have our question facial vision. 41 00:03:19,890 --> 00:03:22,830 We can see that this is a summary question. 42 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:29,490 We always want to notice the directions that say choose one word only. 43 00:03:30,180 --> 00:03:32,760 If you put two words, your answer is wrong. 44 00:03:36,830 --> 00:03:41,090 So our first step is identifying the key words. 45 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:44,150 Now we're going to do this under timed conditions. 46 00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:50,690 So if you have a if you have your cell phone next to you, go ahead and take out your cell phone and 47 00:03:50,690 --> 00:03:52,010 turn on your timer. 48 00:03:52,730 --> 00:03:56,440 We're going to be working on 32nd timers and two minute timers. 49 00:03:56,450 --> 00:04:01,100 So set your timer so that you're able to stop the lecture. 50 00:04:02,160 --> 00:04:06,630 And be able to work on doing this under the timing conditions that we're setting. 51 00:04:08,680 --> 00:04:14,050 So our first job is can you identify the key words in the question? 52 00:04:15,020 --> 00:04:16,910 So open your book to test number one. 53 00:04:16,910 --> 00:04:18,260 This is book number seven. 54 00:04:18,620 --> 00:04:20,510 Open your book to test number one. 55 00:04:20,840 --> 00:04:27,320 And you want to take 30 seconds to circle or underline the keywords for questions six through nine. 56 00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:35,120 If you're using a digital copy to simulate the computer based test, then you want to take 30 seconds 57 00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:38,030 to highlight the keywords for questions 6 to 9. 58 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:43,940 Okay, so here are the questions over here six, seven, eight and nine. 59 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:52,430 I want you to go ahead and set a 32nd timer, and I want you to identify the keywords in each question. 60 00:04:53,030 --> 00:04:58,940 Now, I'm not going to wait 30 seconds, so just stop the lecture right here and then go ahead and set 61 00:04:58,940 --> 00:05:02,420 your timer and find the keywords and then restart the lecture. 62 00:05:03,230 --> 00:05:04,970 So stop the lecture. 63 00:05:04,970 --> 00:05:08,330 Start your timer and find your keywords. 64 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:16,890 All right. 65 00:05:16,890 --> 00:05:22,260 So see if you circled or highlighted the same keywords as I found. 66 00:05:23,010 --> 00:05:30,870 So for number six, I have sensation and the word right before the blank line is pain. 67 00:05:30,990 --> 00:05:37,260 I know when I find that sentence with the word, with the with the word sensation, I have to find the 68 00:05:37,260 --> 00:05:38,280 word pain. 69 00:05:38,280 --> 00:05:42,300 And then after that blank line, you see, I have highlighted arm or leg. 70 00:05:43,170 --> 00:05:48,720 Now, when you're looking for keywords, there's a great chance they're going to use synonyms and paraphrasing. 71 00:05:48,990 --> 00:05:56,160 So when you see the words arm or leg or the word pain, keep in mind you may need to look for synonyms 72 00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:57,220 and paraphrasing. 73 00:05:57,240 --> 00:05:59,310 That's the English test, everybody. 74 00:05:59,730 --> 00:06:02,910 For number seven, we have perceiving and through the ears. 75 00:06:04,110 --> 00:06:11,490 For number eight, we have principle applied and instruments and big thing here calculated right. 76 00:06:11,490 --> 00:06:15,780 That language must connect to the answer choice. 77 00:06:15,960 --> 00:06:20,040 The word perceiving must connect to the answer choice. 78 00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:28,580 And then for number nine, we have war time and we have devices for finding that language must connect 79 00:06:28,580 --> 00:06:30,740 to the answer choice. 80 00:06:30,740 --> 00:06:35,750 So when you're looking at a sentence, when you have found the keyword sentence and we're going to work 81 00:06:35,750 --> 00:06:43,010 on scanning, when you have found the keyword sentence, then your job is find this language devices 82 00:06:43,010 --> 00:06:43,880 for finding. 83 00:06:44,210 --> 00:06:47,360 Find the synonym or paraphrasing of calculated. 84 00:06:47,390 --> 00:06:50,450 Find the synonym or paraphrasing of perceiving. 85 00:06:50,660 --> 00:06:53,510 Fine pain, fine arm or leg. 86 00:06:53,750 --> 00:06:56,330 Find that language and you find the answer. 87 00:06:56,360 --> 00:07:00,620 It's not necessary to understand the entire sentence. 88 00:07:03,130 --> 00:07:03,460 Okay. 89 00:07:03,460 --> 00:07:09,700 So now we're going to work on scanning for the keywords, meaning we're going to set a timer and then 90 00:07:09,700 --> 00:07:17,050 you are going to attempt to find all of the matching keywords, find all the matching keyword sentences, 91 00:07:17,050 --> 00:07:17,800 I should say. 92 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:20,790 Find all the matching keyword sentences. 93 00:07:23,250 --> 00:07:28,110 So here we have the passage and we have a big clue with this one. 94 00:07:28,470 --> 00:07:34,170 With this one, we have a really big clue because it says with a big heading facial vision. 95 00:07:34,890 --> 00:07:40,650 Now, sometimes they give you a heading, sometimes they don't give you a heading, but when they do 96 00:07:40,650 --> 00:07:48,570 give you a heading, it's really, really much easier because all you need to do is to locate the paragraph 97 00:07:48,570 --> 00:07:55,650 where you see facial vision, and then when you find that paragraph, you'll find your keyword sentences. 98 00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,310 So everybody, you should have your timer. 99 00:07:59,550 --> 00:08:02,550 Go ahead and stop the lecture right now. 100 00:08:03,060 --> 00:08:04,200 Look at your book. 101 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:10,470 Stop the lecture and look at your book and then set your timer for 2 minutes. 102 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:13,020 Set your timer for 2 minutes. 103 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:19,650 And then what I want you to do within those 2 minutes is find the matching sentence for number six. 104 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:25,500 Find the matching sentence for number seven, find the matching sentence for number eight, and then 105 00:08:25,500 --> 00:08:27,840 find the matching sentence for number nine. 106 00:08:28,920 --> 00:08:36,300 So stop the lecture and set your timer for 2 minutes and find the matching sentences. 107 00:08:46,320 --> 00:08:46,580 Okay. 108 00:08:46,770 --> 00:08:51,310 So these are the matching sentences that you should have found. 109 00:08:51,310 --> 00:08:55,620 Now we can see right here in paragraph D, we see the word facial vision. 110 00:08:56,300 --> 00:09:02,210 We don't see facial vision in A, B or C, we see it right there in paragraph D. 111 00:09:03,680 --> 00:09:10,910 So I know that my answers to this summary question are going to be right here in Paragraph RD, right 112 00:09:10,910 --> 00:09:12,320 where I see facial vision. 113 00:09:13,730 --> 00:09:20,510 And then for question six, we see it right here because we see the word sensation. 114 00:09:20,600 --> 00:09:24,020 We see the word pain and we see the word limb. 115 00:09:24,410 --> 00:09:28,100 Limb is a paraphrasing or synonym of arm or leg. 116 00:09:30,330 --> 00:09:34,320 And then this next sentence is a trick is a trick. 117 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:41,940 Because when they say, you know, for number seven, it says the ability actually comes from perceiving 118 00:09:41,940 --> 00:09:43,620 blank through the ears. 119 00:09:44,010 --> 00:09:47,040 You see the language here that says through the ears. 120 00:09:47,370 --> 00:09:53,490 And some of you may think that this is where question seven is coming from and you can get tricked. 121 00:09:53,790 --> 00:09:58,770 You may think that the answer is coming from where you see through the ears, but then we're looking 122 00:09:58,770 --> 00:10:04,950 for the synonym of paraphrasing, the synonym of paraphrasing. 123 00:10:05,250 --> 00:10:10,830 And in the next sentence here, where it says, blind people, here we see the synonym of paraphrase 124 00:10:10,860 --> 00:10:13,410 of I'm sorry, the synonym of perceiving. 125 00:10:13,920 --> 00:10:14,160 Right? 126 00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,050 We're looking for the synonym of perceiving. 127 00:10:16,470 --> 00:10:25,710 And so right here we see actually using and since the presence of that is a paraphrasing since the presence 128 00:10:25,710 --> 00:10:33,570 of and actually using but really since the presence of is a paraphrasing of perceiving. 129 00:10:33,720 --> 00:10:35,610 A paraphrasing of perceiving. 130 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:43,020 One thing I want to highlight here, which is really, really important to understand sometimes when 131 00:10:43,020 --> 00:10:44,460 they create a question. 132 00:10:45,290 --> 00:10:50,930 They take language from two sentences and combine them into one sentence. 133 00:10:51,200 --> 00:10:57,470 So here they took the words through the ears from this sentence right here. 134 00:10:58,230 --> 00:11:05,130 And they took language or paraphrasing of language from the next sentence, and they combine that information 135 00:11:05,130 --> 00:11:06,690 into one sentence. 136 00:11:07,020 --> 00:11:15,000 So one thing you want to be aware of is it's possible you might see part of a question in one sentence 137 00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:18,510 where it says through the ears, where you see through the ears here. 138 00:11:19,440 --> 00:11:27,420 And then you'll see part of the question in the next sentence where you see sense, the presence of 139 00:11:27,420 --> 00:11:30,150 which is a paraphrasing of the word perceiving. 140 00:11:31,660 --> 00:11:37,060 So that is really, really tricky sometimes and something you need to understand. 141 00:11:39,120 --> 00:11:40,470 For number eight. 142 00:11:40,680 --> 00:11:45,390 We can see it comes from this sentence right here where we see exploit the principle and we see the 143 00:11:45,390 --> 00:11:49,140 word measure, which is a synonym of the word calculated. 144 00:11:49,770 --> 00:11:54,870 And then question number nine, the key word sentence is right here where we see the word detection, 145 00:11:54,870 --> 00:12:01,530 which means finding and weapons designer designers, which refers to wartime. 146 00:12:02,190 --> 00:12:09,820 So I hope you are able to find all of the matching sentences and you were able to do that in under 2 147 00:12:09,820 --> 00:12:10,350 minutes. 148 00:12:10,860 --> 00:12:12,450 In under 2 minutes. 149 00:12:12,450 --> 00:12:18,120 If you did, then you're on the right path because you have to be able to scan very well. 150 00:12:20,820 --> 00:12:26,370 Now let's go ahead and answer that's going ahead and answer the questions under time conditions. 151 00:12:26,460 --> 00:12:31,740 This should be really, really easy for you because you have found the matching sentences. 152 00:12:31,950 --> 00:12:37,350 And so now you just need to find the keywords that are before and after the blank line, and you'll 153 00:12:37,350 --> 00:12:41,370 be able to put the correct answer choice every single time. 154 00:12:44,220 --> 00:12:49,500 So go ahead and take 2 minutes and quickly answer the questions. 155 00:12:49,500 --> 00:12:52,800 You should be able to do it in really under a minute, to be honest with you. 156 00:12:53,070 --> 00:12:56,880 But go ahead and take 2 minutes and quickly answer the questions. 157 00:12:57,510 --> 00:12:59,100 So go ahead and look in your book. 158 00:12:59,310 --> 00:13:01,140 Look at your highlighted sentences. 159 00:13:01,140 --> 00:13:03,790 You're matching sentences and answer the questions. 160 00:13:03,810 --> 00:13:05,340 Stop the lecture. 161 00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:06,750 Stop the lecture. 162 00:13:06,750 --> 00:13:07,710 Set your timer. 163 00:13:07,710 --> 00:13:08,940 Answer the questions. 164 00:13:18,260 --> 00:13:27,890 Och and the answers are going to be four number six Phantom four number seven Echo's four number eight 165 00:13:27,890 --> 00:13:30,890 depth and number nine submarines. 166 00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:35,060 Note that for number seven, the answer can be echoes or obstacles. 167 00:13:36,490 --> 00:13:36,710 Right. 168 00:13:36,770 --> 00:13:39,950 We can see the word limb, arm or leg. 169 00:13:39,980 --> 00:13:43,160 Connect it to that word is the word phantom. 170 00:13:43,250 --> 00:13:45,080 So the word phantom is the answer. 171 00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:53,990 Here we have actually using and since the presence of which is the same as saying perceiving so the 172 00:13:53,990 --> 00:13:57,860 answers can be echoes or obstacles for number seven. 173 00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,450 For number eight, we see calculated. 174 00:14:01,450 --> 00:14:04,060 All we have to do is find the synonym measure. 175 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:06,620 Answer is depth. 176 00:14:07,250 --> 00:14:10,850 I don't need to understand that entire sentence is not necessary. 177 00:14:11,180 --> 00:14:12,960 You found the right sentence. 178 00:14:12,980 --> 00:14:14,180 Find the word that means. 179 00:14:14,180 --> 00:14:14,840 Calculate it. 180 00:14:14,840 --> 00:14:15,830 You find your answer. 181 00:14:15,830 --> 00:14:16,490 Depth. 182 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:21,390 And therefore number nine devices for finding. 183 00:14:21,660 --> 00:14:28,350 Here we have the word detection, which means finding if you if you recognize that relationship, then 184 00:14:28,350 --> 00:14:30,510 you see the answer is going to be submarines. 185 00:14:31,860 --> 00:14:37,770 So thank you very much for joining me in this Strategy Application Lecture. 186 00:14:37,830 --> 00:14:42,960 I hope that you understand how to apply the strategy for a
