1
00:00:00,460 --> 00:00:01,180
Good afternoon.

2
00:00:01,180 --> 00:00:01,780
Good evening.

3
00:00:01,780 --> 00:00:02,620
Good morning.

4
00:00:02,860 --> 00:00:06,160
Whatever time of day it is in your part of the world.

5
00:00:06,610 --> 00:00:15,010
Let's go ahead and move into strategy application three for the diagram question, which is in essence

6
00:00:15,010 --> 00:00:16,660
a field of blank question.

7
00:00:17,020 --> 00:00:25,570
Now, in the previous lecture, we were going through an application that was in part number two of

8
00:00:25,570 --> 00:00:29,890
a reading exam, and this one also is in part number two.

9
00:00:30,100 --> 00:00:33,880
But I think it's even more challenging than before.

10
00:00:34,060 --> 00:00:36,010
So let's go ahead and get started with it.

11
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:40,700
All right.

12
00:00:40,700 --> 00:00:44,630
In terms of the strategy, I'm not going to go over this again in this lecture.

13
00:00:44,810 --> 00:00:50,570
If you want to, you can go ahead and pause the lecture right here and read through these four steps

14
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:52,460
of the strategy.

15
00:00:52,670 --> 00:01:00,290
I'm going to jump right into the lecture right now so we can get really into this full passage application.

16
00:01:00,710 --> 00:01:04,640
And like I said, this one is going to be much more challenging.

17
00:01:04,730 --> 00:01:08,060
So really put on your hard hat and get ready to work.

18
00:01:11,970 --> 00:01:18,450
In this full passage application, we're going to definitely work on the scanning process and then the

19
00:01:18,450 --> 00:01:20,460
actual answer application.

20
00:01:20,970 --> 00:01:24,270
Now, this one comes from Cambridge book number 11.

21
00:01:24,510 --> 00:01:26,580
Test one, part two.

22
00:01:26,940 --> 00:01:31,020
The Falkirk wheel is from book number 11.

23
00:01:31,500 --> 00:01:39,330
So go ahead and open up your book number 11 so that you can work along with me and really get in the

24
00:01:39,330 --> 00:01:41,340
mode of getting better.

25
00:01:41,580 --> 00:01:47,820
That's the overall goal of this course is I want you to keep improving consistently.

26
00:01:48,150 --> 00:01:52,800
And if you're practising along with me, you're going to get better.

27
00:01:52,890 --> 00:02:00,780
And hopefully you can take what we're learning in these lectures and then stay consistent and apply

28
00:02:00,780 --> 00:02:03,570
the strategy on your own in your practice.

29
00:02:06,390 --> 00:02:12,270
So here we have the beginning of the passage on the left side and on the right side we have the continuation

30
00:02:12,270 --> 00:02:13,710
of the reading passage.

31
00:02:14,010 --> 00:02:23,460
You can see here that I have my diagram of this contraption, the Falkirk wheel, and we have questions

32
00:02:23,460 --> 00:02:25,080
seven through 13.

33
00:02:25,500 --> 00:02:30,480
So this diagram has more questions than the previous two.

34
00:02:30,990 --> 00:02:38,460
Also, you can see that the questions are much longer and that's how, you know, we're in part number

35
00:02:38,460 --> 00:02:39,240
two now.

36
00:02:39,270 --> 00:02:41,550
The questions are much, much longer.

37
00:02:42,390 --> 00:02:51,150
I really can't think of a time when I've seen a diagram in reading Passages three.

38
00:02:52,260 --> 00:02:58,440
Normally they will happen in reading Passage one and also reading paths just two.

39
00:02:58,590 --> 00:03:03,060
I think for the majority, I've seen them in reading passage two.

40
00:03:03,750 --> 00:03:09,720
But here this one is more difficult than the previous because these questions are much longer.

41
00:03:12,330 --> 00:03:12,690
All right.

42
00:03:12,690 --> 00:03:16,740
So, you know, the first step is to identify the words.

43
00:03:17,100 --> 00:03:24,000
I know you've been studying with me and you already have your phone and your stopwatch ready to go.

44
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:28,790
Again, we're working in Cambridge.

45
00:03:28,790 --> 00:03:33,200
Book 11, test one, part two, the Falkirk Wheel.

46
00:03:33,590 --> 00:03:39,170
Go ahead and set your stopwatch for 45 seconds.

47
00:03:39,830 --> 00:03:41,180
Stop the lecture.

48
00:03:41,330 --> 00:03:49,220
Look in your book and circle, underline or highlight the key words that are in question seven through

49
00:03:49,220 --> 00:03:50,000
13.

50
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:51,860
And do that right now, please.

51
00:03:57,180 --> 00:03:57,570
All right.

52
00:03:57,570 --> 00:04:03,000
So for number seven, you should have underlined or circled a pair.

53
00:04:03,300 --> 00:04:06,450
The word lifted and really can now basin.

54
00:04:06,840 --> 00:04:08,730
There's no synonym for that.

55
00:04:09,150 --> 00:04:13,140
So we're going to be able to find that exact language very easily.

56
00:04:13,710 --> 00:04:21,920
Now, if you're taking the paper exam, you should be circling or underlining, circling or underlining.

57
00:04:21,930 --> 00:04:28,500
Do not use a highlighter because you cannot use a highlighter on the paper exam.

58
00:04:29,520 --> 00:04:31,710
I'm doing this for teaching purposes.

59
00:04:31,710 --> 00:04:41,250
Everybody now on the computer based exam you can highlight and they show you in some lectures, free

60
00:04:41,250 --> 00:04:47,190
lectures that they have where the aisles company shows you how to do the highlighting.

61
00:04:47,220 --> 00:04:51,330
And if you do, they're practicing on their website, you can practice doing the highlighting.

62
00:04:51,330 --> 00:04:53,220
They have it built into the exam.

63
00:04:53,640 --> 00:05:01,080
But the only reason you should be highlighting is if you're taking the computer based exam number eight,

64
00:05:01,080 --> 00:05:03,570
taken out and wheel to rotate.

65
00:05:03,660 --> 00:05:06,840
Number nine, hydraulic motor easy to find.

66
00:05:07,170 --> 00:05:12,630
Number ten, we're looking for different size and boat keeps upright.

67
00:05:12,990 --> 00:05:18,870
Number 11, boat reaches the top, moves directly into will connect to the language.

68
00:05:19,140 --> 00:05:28,380
12 is really easy to find Roman and 13 Union Canal and 11 meters very easy to find.

69
00:05:29,850 --> 00:05:35,220
So let me explain something to you from a strategy standpoint.

70
00:05:36,600 --> 00:05:41,180
If I'm doing this question, let me let you know which questions I would try to find.

71
00:05:41,190 --> 00:05:46,140
First, I would try to find number seven with Canal Basin.

72
00:05:46,770 --> 00:05:54,570
Then I would jump all the way and look for number 12 with the word Roman and 13 with the words Union

73
00:05:54,570 --> 00:05:56,550
Canal and 11 meters.

74
00:05:57,060 --> 00:05:58,590
Why would I do that?

75
00:05:58,740 --> 00:06:06,030
Well, if I find number seven with canal based and I know that's my start point, and then if I find

76
00:06:06,060 --> 00:06:08,790
12 and 13, I know that's my endpoint.

77
00:06:09,420 --> 00:06:16,380
And so questions eight, nine, ten and 11 have to be in between those two points.

78
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:23,130
And that really helps me cut down the time of looking for the correct matching sentences.

79
00:06:25,170 --> 00:06:28,170
So now we're going to find those matching sentences.

80
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:34,920
I want you to please set your clock for 3 minutes and three minute timer and open up your book to the

81
00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:36,030
reading passage.

82
00:06:39,530 --> 00:06:39,920
All right.

83
00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:45,230
So we're now going to scan the passage and see if we can locate the matching sentences in the passage.

84
00:06:45,710 --> 00:06:48,200
After I move to the next screen.

85
00:06:48,230 --> 00:06:54,050
Open up your book, set your timer for 3 minutes and begin scanning for the missing key words.

86
00:06:54,080 --> 00:07:01,580
Remember, if I were you, I would look for questions seven, 12 and 13/1 because those would give me

87
00:07:01,580 --> 00:07:03,380
my starting and end points.

88
00:07:04,860 --> 00:07:06,690
All right, so go ahead.

89
00:07:06,690 --> 00:07:07,790
Stop the lecture.

90
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:13,890
Set your timer for 3 minutes and find the matching sentence is for number seven through 13 right now,

91
00:07:13,890 --> 00:07:14,520
please.

92
00:07:18,720 --> 00:07:24,240
If you look at the right side of my screen, you can see that we find question seven right here in one

93
00:07:24,240 --> 00:07:25,770
of the last paragraphs.

94
00:07:25,980 --> 00:07:32,610
I know this is the right paragraph because it starts off with bolts needing to be lifted and we know

95
00:07:32,610 --> 00:07:35,400
the title is How a boat is Lifted.

96
00:07:35,670 --> 00:07:39,730
So right here we see Canal Basin, which I told you would be easy to find.

97
00:07:39,750 --> 00:07:41,490
So question seven is right here.

98
00:07:42,600 --> 00:07:48,330
Question eight We see the war removed, which is a synonym or paraphrasing have taken out and we see

99
00:07:48,330 --> 00:07:49,380
wheel moving.

100
00:07:49,740 --> 00:07:56,400
Number ten or number nine is very straight forward because we see hydraulic motors and then we see the

101
00:07:56,400 --> 00:08:00,990
word rotate, which is a synonym or paraphrasing of the word drive.

102
00:08:01,540 --> 00:08:11,160
Then for a number ten, we can see two eight meter wide and two smaller, thus our different sizes and

103
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:14,400
then four bolts keep four bolt keeps upright.

104
00:08:15,060 --> 00:08:23,430
We can see gondolas, which is a boat always remains a level or always remains level, which is a paraphrasing

105
00:08:23,430 --> 00:08:26,100
of boat keeps upright.

106
00:08:26,550 --> 00:08:33,990
Now for a number 11, we see when the gondola reaches the top, bolt reaches the top and we see the

107
00:08:33,990 --> 00:08:39,600
language straight on to which is a pair of phrasing of moves directly onto.

108
00:08:40,480 --> 00:08:44,980
12 was very straightforward because you see the word Romans right here.

109
00:08:45,730 --> 00:08:48,670
And also we see the word tunnel in the next sentence.

110
00:08:48,940 --> 00:08:54,130
So number 12 was a combination of two sentences, language from two sentences.

111
00:08:54,700 --> 00:08:59,620
You should note that 12 and 13 are out of order.

112
00:09:00,010 --> 00:09:05,290
You find the language for number 13/1, and then you find the language for number 12.

113
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:15,220
As I've told you before, when you're dealing with a table question or when you're dealing with a diagram

114
00:09:15,220 --> 00:09:15,880
question.

115
00:09:16,950 --> 00:09:24,720
If you have two questions that are back to back, it is possible for those two questions to be found

116
00:09:24,720 --> 00:09:26,220
out of order.

117
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:31,050
So questions 12 and 13 are an example of that.

118
00:09:31,980 --> 00:09:38,610
It doesn't happen with all the questions for the diagram, but they do that sometimes to make it a little

119
00:09:38,610 --> 00:09:39,720
bit difficult.

120
00:09:39,900 --> 00:09:46,020
That's the reason why you see me say a diagram mainly goes in order.

121
00:09:46,860 --> 00:09:47,700
I don't say that.

122
00:09:47,700 --> 00:09:49,500
It always goes in order.

123
00:09:49,620 --> 00:09:52,230
I say that it mainly goes in order.

124
00:09:52,470 --> 00:09:53,880
And that's the reason why.

125
00:09:53,880 --> 00:09:58,470
Because sometimes you have a situation like question 12 and 13.

126
00:10:00,700 --> 00:10:03,340
And here you can see it maybe a little bit better.

127
00:10:03,370 --> 00:10:06,430
All the matching sentences for the questions.

128
00:10:08,620 --> 00:10:15,850
Now I want you to go ahead and set your timer for 3 minutes and you can write no more than one word

129
00:10:15,850 --> 00:10:17,230
for an answer choice.

130
00:10:17,560 --> 00:10:22,240
So open up your books and get ready because we're going to go ahead and answer the questions.

131
00:10:25,710 --> 00:10:31,080
All right, so go ahead and set your timer for 3 minutes.

132
00:10:31,560 --> 00:10:38,130
Stop the lecture, open your book and answer questions seven through 13 right now, please.

133
00:10:44,330 --> 00:10:48,080
Now, I'm sure that you found all the answer choices.

134
00:10:48,410 --> 00:10:49,730
Let's look and see.

135
00:10:53,060 --> 00:10:55,250
Number seven is Gates.

136
00:10:55,820 --> 00:10:57,680
Number eight is clamp.

137
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:00,080
Number nine is Axle.

138
00:11:00,410 --> 00:11:02,390
Number ten is COGS.

139
00:11:02,690 --> 00:11:04,760
Number 11, aqueduct.

140
00:11:05,150 --> 00:11:06,740
Number 12 wall.

141
00:11:06,980 --> 00:11:08,840
Number 13, locks.

142
00:11:09,170 --> 00:11:11,990
So number seven, very straightforward.

143
00:11:11,990 --> 00:11:16,250
Two pair lift it raised.

144
00:11:16,280 --> 00:11:18,590
The answer must be gates.

145
00:11:20,070 --> 00:11:23,850
Number eight, they're just playing around with word order for number eight.

146
00:11:24,270 --> 00:11:31,050
For number eight, they put the word clap in the beginning of the sentence, and then they have several

147
00:11:31,050 --> 00:11:36,480
words in between before they tell you the clamp is removed or taken out.

148
00:11:37,130 --> 00:11:40,130
So here they changed up the word order.

149
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:46,400
They took is removed or taken out and put it right next to the noun clamp.

150
00:11:47,210 --> 00:11:50,090
So we are changing around the word order here, everybody.

151
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:51,830
That's why.

152
00:11:52,790 --> 00:11:54,620
I tell students very often.

153
00:11:55,520 --> 00:12:00,560
Having good grammar helps you with the reading section of the exam.

154
00:12:01,010 --> 00:12:08,540
Most think, well, grammar is just good for the speaking section and the writing section know if you

155
00:12:08,540 --> 00:12:09,530
have good grammar.

156
00:12:09,530 --> 00:12:12,200
It helps a lot with the reading section.

157
00:12:13,340 --> 00:12:16,070
Number nine is Axle Drive.

158
00:12:16,070 --> 00:12:20,270
Rotate, rotate the central axle, rotate the axle.

159
00:12:20,630 --> 00:12:24,980
Now, if you wrote Central Axle as your answer, you are wrong.

160
00:12:25,160 --> 00:12:28,040
Because as I told you, you can only write one word.

161
00:12:28,520 --> 00:12:30,200
Number ten is cogs.

162
00:12:31,300 --> 00:12:37,120
Two smaller cogs, two eight metre wide cogs, outer cogs.

163
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:39,010
So we have all these different sizes.

164
00:12:39,010 --> 00:12:40,960
The answer is cogs.

165
00:12:42,150 --> 00:12:48,720
Number 11 move directly on to straight onto to the answer is aqueduct.

166
00:12:50,140 --> 00:12:53,470
Bullet travels through a tunnel beneath the Roman wall.

167
00:12:54,240 --> 00:12:56,100
Under under the wall.

168
00:12:56,100 --> 00:13:03,630
Beneath the wall, again, they're testing your ability to recognize synonyms and paraphrasing number

169
00:13:03,630 --> 00:13:04,530
13.

170
00:13:06,560 --> 00:13:09,320
Lochs raise a boat 11 metres.

171
00:13:09,410 --> 00:13:10,790
So what raises the boat?

172
00:13:10,820 --> 00:13:17,570
The remaining 11 metres of lift needed to reach the union canal is achieved by means of a of a pair

173
00:13:17,570 --> 00:13:18,470
of locks.

174
00:13:18,740 --> 00:13:24,020
So they're doing the same thing here that they did with number eight.

175
00:13:24,710 --> 00:13:28,250
They are playing around with the word order.

176
00:13:28,740 --> 00:13:32,330
They are switching up the word order grammatically.

177
00:13:33,220 --> 00:13:37,960
Saying the same thing, but changing the grammar around, changing the sentence structure around to

178
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:39,070
make it difficult.

179
00:13:39,490 --> 00:13:41,800
Here they've separated the language.

180
00:13:43,220 --> 00:13:51,440
But here locks raise a boat 11 metres but here the remaining the remaining 11 metres of lift needed

181
00:13:51,440 --> 00:13:56,300
to reach the union canal is achieved by means of a pair of locks.

182
00:13:56,720 --> 00:14:01,460
Many, many words separate 11 metres and locks.

183
00:14:02,060 --> 00:14:06,920
So that's what they're doing to try to make it confusing and more difficult for you.

184
00:14:09,290 --> 00:14:09,680
All right.

185
00:14:09,680 --> 00:14:11,870
So thank you very much for joining me.

186
00:14:11,990 --> 00:14:17,720
I really hope that you really understand how to do diagram questions now.

187
00:14:17,810 --> 00:14:18,770
Thanks a lot.

188
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:20,570
Take care and I'll talk to you soon.
