1
00:00:01,050 --> 00:00:01,360
Hello.

2
00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:02,130
Hello there.

3
00:00:02,130 --> 00:00:10,140
And welcome to another video in this lecture series of specific question and strategy review.

4
00:00:10,620 --> 00:00:14,160
We're going to look again at the fill the blank question.

5
00:00:15,060 --> 00:00:21,270
The reason why I'm doing two videos for the field of blank question is because they love to they love

6
00:00:21,270 --> 00:00:24,840
to ask this question on the general reading section.

7
00:00:25,530 --> 00:00:33,610
And so I'm going to do another video explaining the strategy and applying the strategy for the field.

8
00:00:33,610 --> 00:00:35,940
The blank question, just to make sure you got it.

9
00:00:37,140 --> 00:00:41,340
This reading passage that I'm going to be doing is from book number 12.

10
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:44,460
You should have book number 12 already.

11
00:00:44,460 --> 00:00:48,000
I recommend buying book number 12 and book number 13.

12
00:00:48,030 --> 00:00:51,000
Those are the latest books for the exam.

13
00:00:51,720 --> 00:01:02,460
And you should stop the tape now if you want to do it yourself and then come back and listen to my analysis

14
00:01:02,460 --> 00:01:06,690
of the strategy and tactics that were used to answer the questions.

15
00:01:07,320 --> 00:01:10,770
Other other other than that, let's go ahead and get started.

16
00:01:11,730 --> 00:01:15,090
Before we start going through it, let's review the strategy again.

17
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:20,100
I did this in the previous video you just watch, but I'm going to do it again.

18
00:01:20,100 --> 00:01:28,590
In this video we're talking about the fill the blank question and the feel of the blank question is

19
00:01:28,590 --> 00:01:30,240
the one that's right here.

20
00:01:32,220 --> 00:01:38,280
In terms of strategy, questioning goals in order you want to read through the questions and spot the

21
00:01:38,280 --> 00:01:39,840
easiest ones to do first.

22
00:01:40,530 --> 00:01:46,890
If you're in section one or two, sometimes they don't really differentiate between questions that are

23
00:01:46,890 --> 00:01:50,700
a little bit more difficult than others in terms of language and the question so that they're easier

24
00:01:50,700 --> 00:01:59,880
to find because a lot of times the questions are just going or each question is founded in different

25
00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:02,100
section, especially in sections one and two.

26
00:02:02,580 --> 00:02:08,190
If you're in section three, then that second point I'm making might apply a little bit more in terms

27
00:02:08,190 --> 00:02:12,750
of looking for questions that have language that's easier to find first.

28
00:02:13,170 --> 00:02:21,990
So you want to underline the keywords and the questions, excuse me, then you want to scan and find

29
00:02:21,990 --> 00:02:25,410
the matching sentence to your first easiest question.

30
00:02:26,190 --> 00:02:37,980
Again, that's so important because if the easiest question to find is number is number eight and number

31
00:02:37,980 --> 00:02:44,640
eight is in paragraph three, that means question seven, six and five have to be in in paragraphs one

32
00:02:44,640 --> 00:02:47,190
and two because the question is go in order.

33
00:02:47,970 --> 00:02:54,510
Now, when you have a field of blank question, you want to really, really pay attention to the language

34
00:02:54,510 --> 00:03:01,020
that comes before or after that blank line, the language that comes before or after that blank line.

35
00:03:01,020 --> 00:03:02,960
That language is critical.

36
00:03:02,970 --> 00:03:08,460
When you look when you find the matching sentence, that's the language you look for to be able to point

37
00:03:08,460 --> 00:03:10,170
you towards the answer choice.

38
00:03:11,220 --> 00:03:11,670
Right.

39
00:03:11,670 --> 00:03:15,990
So when you find them, when you find the language in the passage sentence that matches the language

40
00:03:16,010 --> 00:03:22,650
before, before or after the blank line, that's your language that points to the answer.

41
00:03:23,730 --> 00:03:27,900
That makes answering fill the blank question so, so easy.

42
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:29,220
All right.

43
00:03:29,250 --> 00:03:36,240
Now let's go ahead and I'm going to walk through this reading passage and demonstrate for you the application

44
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:37,290
of strategy.

45
00:03:37,380 --> 00:03:44,280
Again, this reading passages from the IS on the general exam and it is from book number 12.

46
00:03:47,520 --> 00:03:56,700
Excuse me, if you are an academic student, you can still watch this video because this video uses

47
00:03:56,700 --> 00:04:02,610
the same strategy that you would use to apply to fill the blank questions for the academic test.

48
00:04:03,450 --> 00:04:03,780
All right.

49
00:04:03,780 --> 00:04:06,600
So let's go ahead and move through this.

50
00:04:06,930 --> 00:04:16,020
So let's look at our questions and what I'm looking at these questions.

51
00:04:16,590 --> 00:04:21,160
I do see a couple of a couple that are going to probably be a little bit easier to do.

52
00:04:21,180 --> 00:04:26,850
First, we have we have this one right here.

53
00:04:29,150 --> 00:04:37,650
See, you pointed out until we have this and right here in terms of 60 hours and also right here where

54
00:04:37,650 --> 00:04:39,360
it talks about 10 hours.

55
00:04:39,630 --> 00:04:39,980
Right.

56
00:04:39,990 --> 00:04:43,590
Those are going to be probably pretty easy to find.

57
00:04:44,190 --> 00:04:44,670
All right.

58
00:04:44,670 --> 00:04:48,100
60 and ten and 48, right.

59
00:04:48,150 --> 00:04:50,040
Those are going to be really easy to find.

60
00:04:52,770 --> 00:04:53,100
Right.

61
00:04:53,100 --> 00:05:01,710
So I could, if I wanted to, I could start with number 22 and number 23, and then I would know number

62
00:05:01,710 --> 00:05:03,120
21 is before that.

63
00:05:03,690 --> 00:05:08,190
And I would know that 24, 25, 26, 27 are after number 23.

64
00:05:08,400 --> 00:05:12,690
But if I do 22 and 23/1, that gives me my starting point.

65
00:05:13,110 --> 00:05:13,710
All right.

66
00:05:13,710 --> 00:05:20,070
So that's what I was that's what I was talking about when you heard me earlier, going through the strategy

67
00:05:20,070 --> 00:05:27,900
in terms of doing the ones that are easiest to do first, the key word language for a number 21 is do

68
00:05:27,900 --> 00:05:42,570
not apply to and and for number 22, the language before the blank line provided the number 23 is something

69
00:05:42,570 --> 00:05:43,950
that belongs to the workers.

70
00:05:43,950 --> 00:05:45,540
That language is important.

71
00:05:46,770 --> 00:05:50,700
Number 20 for carrying out various.

72
00:05:51,570 --> 00:06:02,670
And then we have these other words that are really easy driving, loading, unloading number 25 is going

73
00:06:02,670 --> 00:06:03,990
on a.

74
00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:05,370
All right.

75
00:06:06,510 --> 00:06:14,880
And also the word transport and the word vehicle.

76
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:15,810
All right.

77
00:06:15,810 --> 00:06:20,700
So the number 25 I know is going to be some type of vehicle because it says other form of transport.

78
00:06:20,700 --> 00:06:23,880
That means number 25 has to be a form of transport.

79
00:06:24,060 --> 00:06:24,500
Okay.

80
00:06:24,750 --> 00:06:27,720
So that one that one actually is probably going to be pretty easy.

81
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:37,710
Number 26, we're talking about a period at the workstation and something that the driver has.

82
00:06:40,710 --> 00:06:41,340
All right.

83
00:06:41,670 --> 00:06:53,730
And number two, we're talking number 27, stopping and starting and also important language before

84
00:06:53,760 --> 00:06:56,850
that blank line causes a delay.

85
00:06:59,040 --> 00:07:04,410
So let's go ahead and go through these questions.

86
00:07:04,410 --> 00:07:11,010
I'm going to do I'm going to do 22 and 23/1, because I see those numbers and I know that's going to

87
00:07:11,010 --> 00:07:12,270
be easy to find.

88
00:07:12,390 --> 00:07:19,710
And then I can go I know I can easily find number 21 because it has to be before 22 because this question

89
00:07:19,710 --> 00:07:20,670
goes in order.

90
00:07:20,970 --> 00:07:21,360
All right.

91
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:25,020
So let's have a look first at number 22 and 23.

92
00:07:26,340 --> 00:07:26,820
All right.

93
00:07:27,210 --> 00:07:28,050
So.

94
00:07:30,510 --> 00:07:32,400
22 we see right here.

95
00:07:32,400 --> 00:07:33,420
Here, 60.

96
00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:37,310
Right.

97
00:07:37,820 --> 00:07:38,580
We'll see right here.

98
00:07:38,580 --> 00:07:39,590
Here's ten.

99
00:07:41,150 --> 00:07:41,450
All right.

100
00:07:41,450 --> 00:07:46,370
That means that, you know, we have number 22 right here.

101
00:07:46,790 --> 00:07:50,720
That means we have number 23 right here.

102
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:53,540
That means number 21 has to be above this.

103
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:56,060
21 is going to be up here in this area.

104
00:07:56,390 --> 00:08:00,020
And 24, 25, 26 are going to be a little bit further down.

105
00:08:00,770 --> 00:08:01,190
Okay.

106
00:08:02,390 --> 00:08:07,820
So let's look at number 22/1 and number 23.

107
00:08:08,930 --> 00:08:09,220
All right.

108
00:08:09,230 --> 00:08:10,310
22.

109
00:08:10,310 --> 00:08:16,670
When I look at the center for 22, it says maximum working hours, 60, 60 hours per week, provided

110
00:08:16,670 --> 00:08:21,260
the blank is no more than 24 provided the right.

111
00:08:21,260 --> 00:08:24,440
I'm looking for that language in that sentence where we see 60 hours.

112
00:08:24,770 --> 00:08:26,330
Here's the language right here.

113
00:08:27,990 --> 00:08:28,530
Right.

114
00:08:30,170 --> 00:08:41,360
So long as so long as the right so long as the 48 hour average is maintained.

115
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:42,320
All right.

116
00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:45,590
So so long as the 48 hour average is maintained.

117
00:08:45,590 --> 00:08:48,170
So what's so long as the what is maintained?

118
00:08:49,070 --> 00:08:52,310
Our answer is going to be right here, the word average.

119
00:08:53,140 --> 00:08:56,780
Right now, some people say, well, wouldn't you put 48, 48 hour average?

120
00:08:56,780 --> 00:09:04,490
No, I wouldn't put 48 hour average because in the question we have the words 48 hours is already there.

121
00:09:05,060 --> 00:09:05,300
Right.

122
00:09:05,390 --> 00:09:08,480
Provided the average is no more than 48 hours.

123
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:13,130
So our answer right here is going to be average.

124
00:09:15,420 --> 00:09:17,460
Right average is our answer now.

125
00:09:17,490 --> 00:09:21,090
Let's look at number 23 night work.

126
00:09:21,150 --> 00:09:22,100
I'm sorry, I forgot that.

127
00:09:22,110 --> 00:09:24,630
That's actually going to help actually help us out a lot.

128
00:09:25,290 --> 00:09:27,240
I should have actually pointed that out.

129
00:09:27,540 --> 00:09:30,960
We have the word night work right there.

130
00:09:31,470 --> 00:09:33,500
That's going to help us find a 10 hours.

131
00:09:33,510 --> 00:09:34,920
10 hours was the real clue.

132
00:09:34,920 --> 00:09:42,570
But night work also night work can be no more than 10 hours with the blank of the workers.

133
00:09:42,810 --> 00:09:47,190
So in that sense, as with 10 hours, I'm looking for something that belongs to the workers.

134
00:09:49,870 --> 00:09:50,360
Right.

135
00:09:50,870 --> 00:09:54,350
Something that belongs to a worker in this sentence.

136
00:09:54,350 --> 00:09:56,240
What belongs to a worker?

137
00:09:56,690 --> 00:09:57,830
All right, I'll see it.

138
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:00,060
What belongs to a worker?

139
00:10:00,090 --> 00:10:00,860
It's right here.

140
00:10:02,790 --> 00:10:06,110
Workforce agreement, right?

141
00:10:06,180 --> 00:10:10,360
A workforce agreement belongs to a worker.

142
00:10:10,380 --> 00:10:12,520
This is something that belongs to a worker.

143
00:10:12,540 --> 00:10:15,390
Workforce is the same as worker.

144
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:16,440
Again, everybody.

145
00:10:16,470 --> 00:10:17,370
Synonym language.

146
00:10:17,370 --> 00:10:18,170
Synonym language.

147
00:10:18,180 --> 00:10:19,320
Synonym language.

148
00:10:19,590 --> 00:10:26,900
So long as synonym language for provided workforce similar for workers.

149
00:10:26,910 --> 00:10:32,370
So a workforce agreement is the same thing as a workers agreement or agreement for workers.

150
00:10:32,850 --> 00:10:39,030
Always keep in mind they do this they love to do to do this in the listening section also.

151
00:10:39,660 --> 00:10:42,390
And if you've watched my listening videos, you know this.

152
00:10:43,320 --> 00:10:46,170
They love to play with word order.

153
00:10:46,980 --> 00:10:47,340
Right.

154
00:10:47,340 --> 00:10:54,000
Like here, here it says agreement of the workers here.

155
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:55,860
It says agreement of the workers.

156
00:10:55,860 --> 00:10:56,460
Right.

157
00:10:56,850 --> 00:10:58,620
Agreement of the workers.

158
00:10:58,620 --> 00:11:03,570
And then when you look up at the up here, it says workforce agreement, workers agreement.

159
00:11:04,200 --> 00:11:09,360
They love to switch the word order around, move the word or order around.

160
00:11:09,360 --> 00:11:10,620
They love doing that.
