00:00:00,590 --> 00:00:01,080
Hi there.

2
00:00:01,100 --> 00:00:06,860
We're going to go ahead and proceed with another example of doing Section three of the IOC's listening

3
00:00:06,860 --> 00:00:07,580
exam.

4
00:00:07,850 --> 00:00:13,430
Now, this one is really interesting because we have three different question types that we have to

5
00:00:13,430 --> 00:00:14,210
deal with.

6
00:00:14,540 --> 00:00:20,750
We have a traditional multiple choice question where you have to choose from A, B, or C and you have

7
00:00:20,750 --> 00:00:25,310
to match the correct answer choice to the keyword language in the question.

8
00:00:25,910 --> 00:00:34,040
And then for 22 the same thing, for 23 through 25, we have filled the blank questions and there we

9
00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:37,790
need to pay attention to the language that has before and after the blank line.

10
00:00:38,990 --> 00:00:45,680
And then finally we move down to a third question type, which is basically a short answer question

11
00:00:45,680 --> 00:00:50,150
type, where they have a sentence with a question mark.

12
00:00:50,150 --> 00:00:57,050
And then you have to write the answer to the question, which must be no more than three words and or

13
00:00:57,050 --> 00:00:58,010
a number.

14
00:00:58,550 --> 00:01:05,210
So I chose this one because it offers three different question types that you might see on your listening

15
00:01:05,210 --> 00:01:06,040
exam.

16
00:01:06,050 --> 00:01:14,000
And my goal is to show you as many of the examples of question types as I can remember.

17
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:20,060
When it comes to choosing keywords, you want to focus on the language in the sentence that's going

18
00:01:20,060 --> 00:01:23,090
to relate to the answer.

19
00:01:23,600 --> 00:01:28,940
So for example, number 26 is how do they do their practice practical sessions?

20
00:01:28,940 --> 00:01:30,440
How how do they do it?

21
00:01:30,680 --> 00:01:33,320
I'm listening for that language to be said.

22
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:39,320
Whenever you're dealing with a short answer question or a field of blank or a field, the blank question

23
00:01:39,320 --> 00:01:47,180
or a multiple choice question, it's always about synonym language for number 21 home country.

24
00:01:47,180 --> 00:01:49,400
What does she have to do in her home country?

25
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:53,420
The correct answer choice will connect to that language.

26
00:01:53,450 --> 00:01:56,810
Keep in mind, they're going to say words.

27
00:01:56,810 --> 00:02:02,960
They're going to especially use exact words to try to pull you towards a wrong answer choice.

28
00:02:03,350 --> 00:02:04,820
Always keep that in mind.

29
00:02:05,690 --> 00:02:06,110
All right.

30
00:02:06,110 --> 00:02:08,030
So let's go ahead and get started.

31
00:02:08,150 --> 00:02:10,880
I'm going to go ahead and do my version of the test.

32
00:02:10,910 --> 00:02:12,950
This is from book nine.

33
00:02:13,220 --> 00:02:15,230
Test four, Section three.

34
00:02:16,380 --> 00:02:18,690
Book nine test for Section three.

35
00:02:18,990 --> 00:02:26,730
You should go ahead and get your book out and do your test first, then come back and listen for the

36
00:02:26,730 --> 00:02:27,060
answer.

37
00:02:27,060 --> 00:02:30,450
Choices and analysis that I'm going to provide you.

38
00:02:30,810 --> 00:02:32,700
I'm going to get started right now.

39
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:36,770
Hello, Kyra.

40
00:02:36,770 --> 00:02:37,640
How are you?

41
00:02:37,670 --> 00:02:38,840
Fine, thanks, Paul.

42
00:02:38,870 --> 00:02:39,800
How are you?

43
00:02:39,830 --> 00:02:40,670
Well, thanks.

44
00:02:40,850 --> 00:02:42,110
It's good to see you.

45
00:02:42,140 --> 00:02:45,050
It must be 12 months since you did our course.

46
00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:46,050
That's right.

47
00:02:46,070 --> 00:02:48,530
It's nice to come back and say hello.

48
00:02:49,100 --> 00:02:50,930
What course did you enroll in?

49
00:02:51,290 --> 00:02:54,950
Actually, I went straight into third year pharmacy.

50
00:02:55,190 --> 00:03:00,470
They credited me with two years, which probably made it more difficult for me.

51
00:03:00,500 --> 00:03:01,000
Hmm.

52
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:03,650
On the other hand, you were lucky to be granted credits.

53
00:03:03,980 --> 00:03:05,630
Is that why you chose the course?

54
00:03:05,660 --> 00:03:06,590
Yes.

55
00:03:06,620 --> 00:03:12,710
And as I'd already finished a course in it in my country, I thought it would be easier if I studied

56
00:03:12,710 --> 00:03:14,330
something I already knew.

57
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:16,700
I didn't realize you went into third year.

58
00:03:16,730 --> 00:03:18,650
I thought you started in first year.

59
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:20,240
No wonder it was so hard.

60
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:25,970
And what do you think is one of the big differences between studying at a university here and studying

61
00:03:25,970 --> 00:03:26,930
in your country?

62
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:33,650
Well, I found it very difficult to write assignments because I wasn't familiar with that aspect of

63
00:03:33,650 --> 00:03:34,820
the system here.

64
00:03:35,150 --> 00:03:38,750
The main problem is that the lecturers expect you to be critical.

65
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:41,780
That made me feel really terrible.

66
00:03:41,870 --> 00:03:44,750
I thought, How can I possibly do it?

67
00:03:45,020 --> 00:03:50,360
How can I comment on someone else's research when they probably spent five years doing it?

68
00:03:50,990 --> 00:03:58,400
I think a lot of people who come from overseas countries have similar problems, but after a while it

69
00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:00,020
became easier for me.

70
00:04:00,140 --> 00:04:05,720
People expect you to have problems with the process of reading and writing, but in fact, it is more

71
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:09,830
a question of altering your viewpoint towards academic study.

72
00:04:09,890 --> 00:04:10,230
Hmm.

73
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:12,980
How was the content of the lectures?

74
00:04:12,990 --> 00:04:14,330
Was it easy for you?

75
00:04:14,630 --> 00:04:18,020
I didn't really have many problems understanding lectures.

76
00:04:18,290 --> 00:04:21,620
The content was very similar to what I'd studied before.

77
00:04:21,650 --> 00:04:24,000
And what about the lecturers themselves?

78
00:04:24,020 --> 00:04:26,930
Are they essentially the same as lecturers in your country?

79
00:04:27,230 --> 00:04:28,730
Well, actually, no.

80
00:04:28,850 --> 00:04:31,190
Here they're much easier to approach.

81
00:04:31,220 --> 00:04:37,040
After every lecture, you can go and ask them something you didn't understand, or you can make an appointment

82
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:39,650
and talk to them about anything in the course.

83
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:43,540
Maybe you found them different because you're a more mature student now.

84
00:04:43,550 --> 00:04:47,540
Whereas when you were studying in your country, you were younger and not so assertive.

85
00:04:47,810 --> 00:04:50,900
No, I don't think that's the difference.

86
00:04:51,290 --> 00:04:53,280
Most of the students here do it.

87
00:04:53,300 --> 00:04:58,820
In my faculty, they all seem to make appointments, usually to talk about something in the course that's

88
00:04:58,820 --> 00:05:04,700
worrying them, but sometimes just about something that might really interest them, something they

89
00:05:04,700 --> 00:05:06,380
might want to specialize in.

90
00:05:06,710 --> 00:05:11,690
The lecturers must set aside certain times every week when they're available for students.

91
00:05:11,720 --> 00:05:12,770
That's good to hear.

92
00:05:16,280 --> 00:05:21,590
Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions.

93
00:05:21,590 --> 00:05:23,720
26 to 30.

94
00:05:43,700 --> 00:05:46,100
Now listen and answer questions.

95
00:05:46,100 --> 00:05:48,170
26 to 30.

96
00:05:51,430 --> 00:05:53,350
And how was your timetable?

97
00:05:53,380 --> 00:05:54,940
Was it a very busy year?

98
00:05:54,970 --> 00:05:56,960
Oh, very, very busy.

99
00:05:56,980 --> 00:05:59,080
They make you work very hard.

100
00:05:59,290 --> 00:06:03,820
Apart from lectures, we had practical sessions in a lot of subjects.

101
00:06:03,940 --> 00:06:05,860
We did these in small groups.

102
00:06:05,980 --> 00:06:10,660
I had to go and work for hours every week in a community pharmacy.

103
00:06:11,110 --> 00:06:13,630
Actually, I enjoyed this very much.

104
00:06:13,660 --> 00:06:15,850
Meeting new people all the time.

105
00:06:16,060 --> 00:06:20,830
Then in second semester, we had to get experience in hospital dispensaries.

106
00:06:20,980 --> 00:06:25,690
So every second day we went to one of the big hospitals and worked there.

107
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:30,790
And on top of all that, we had our assignments, which took me a lot of time.

108
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:32,710
Oh, I nearly forgot.

109
00:06:32,740 --> 00:06:38,260
Between first and second semesters, we had to work full time for two weeks in a hospital.

110
00:06:38,290 --> 00:06:40,300
That does sound a very heavy year.

111
00:06:40,480 --> 00:06:42,880
So are you pleased now that you did it?

112
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:45,010
Do you feel some sense of achievement?

113
00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:50,950
Yeah, I do feel much more confident, which I suppose is the most important thing.

114
00:06:50,980 --> 00:06:54,670
And have you got any recommendations for people who are studying from overseas?

115
00:06:55,090 --> 00:06:58,210
Well, I suppose they need very good English.

116
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:03,640
It would be much better if they spent more time learning English before they enter the university,

117
00:07:03,640 --> 00:07:09,130
because you can be in big trouble if you don't understand what people are saying and you haven't got

118
00:07:09,160 --> 00:07:11,950
time to translate anything else.

119
00:07:11,980 --> 00:07:19,210
Well, as I said before, the biggest problem for me was lack of familiarity with the education system

120
00:07:19,210 --> 00:07:19,780
here.

121
00:07:19,840 --> 00:07:21,940
It sounds as if it was a real challenge.

122
00:07:21,970 --> 00:07:24,550
Congratulations, Kiera, and thanks, Paul.

123
00:07:25,060 --> 00:07:25,600
All right.

124
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:28,150
So let's go ahead and go through the answer choices.

125
00:07:28,390 --> 00:07:33,760
Now, this one, I'm going to do a little bit differently than the others in that I'm going to go through

126
00:07:33,760 --> 00:07:36,310
the answer choices question by question.

127
00:07:36,550 --> 00:07:42,520
I'm going to play the audio, stop it, review the answer choice, and then go to the next one.

128
00:07:42,820 --> 00:07:45,960
Some students like to have a review done this way.

129
00:07:45,970 --> 00:07:50,020
And so this is for all of you that like a question by question review.

130
00:07:50,380 --> 00:07:51,520
Let's get started.

131
00:08:00,510 --> 00:08:01,320
Hello, Kyra.

132
00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:02,190
How are you?

133
00:08:02,250 --> 00:08:03,390
Fine, thanks, Paul.

134
00:08:03,420 --> 00:08:04,350
How are you?

135
00:08:04,380 --> 00:08:05,220
Well, thanks.

136
00:08:05,400 --> 00:08:06,660
It's good to see you.

137
00:08:06,690 --> 00:08:09,600
It must be 12 months since you did our course.

138
00:08:09,630 --> 00:08:10,600
That's right.

139
00:08:10,620 --> 00:08:13,110
It's nice to come back and say hello.

140
00:08:13,650 --> 00:08:15,510
What course did you enroll in?

141
00:08:15,840 --> 00:08:19,530
Actually, I went straight into third year pharmacy.

142
00:08:19,770 --> 00:08:25,050
They credited me with two years, which probably made it more difficult for me.

143
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:25,560
Hmm.

144
00:08:25,590 --> 00:08:28,230
On the other hand, you were lucky to be granted credits.

145
00:08:28,500 --> 00:08:30,180
Is that why you chose the course?

146
00:08:30,210 --> 00:08:31,150
Yes.

147
00:08:31,170 --> 00:08:37,260
And as I'd already finished a course in it in my country, I thought it would be easier if I studied

148
00:08:37,260 --> 00:08:38,880
something I already knew.

149
00:08:38,910 --> 00:08:41,250
I didn't realize you went into third year.

150
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:43,200
I thought you started in first year.

151
00:08:43,230 --> 00:08:44,760
No wonder it was so hard.

152
00:08:45,680 --> 00:08:49,640
So she said she already finished a course in her country.

153
00:08:49,970 --> 00:08:55,950
Remember the question says what in her in her home country, Kira had.

154
00:08:55,970 --> 00:08:58,190
What does she do in her home country?

155
00:08:58,760 --> 00:09:01,580
She had already finished a course in her country.

156
00:09:02,270 --> 00:09:02,630
What?

157
00:09:02,630 --> 00:09:05,510
It says that she was credited with two years.

158
00:09:05,540 --> 00:09:07,910
They're not talking about in her country.

159
00:09:08,090 --> 00:09:11,210
They're talking about in the countries she's in right now.

160
00:09:11,810 --> 00:09:17,960
When the when they mentioned that it was difficult for her, they were not talking about in her country.

161
00:09:17,970 --> 00:09:20,840
They were talking about in the country she was in right now.

162
00:09:21,140 --> 00:09:25,040
And so we always have to focus on the key words in the question.

163
00:09:30,550 --> 00:09:35,680
And what do you think is one of the big differences between studying at a university here and studying

164
00:09:35,680 --> 00:09:36,610
in your country?

165
00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:43,360
Well, I found it very difficult to write assignments because I wasn't familiar with that aspect of

166
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:44,530
the system here.

167
00:09:44,830 --> 00:09:48,460
The main problem is that the lecturers expect you to be critical.

168
00:09:48,910 --> 00:09:51,520
That made me feel really terrible.

169
00:09:51,550 --> 00:09:54,430
I thought, How can I possibly do it?

170
00:09:54,700 --> 00:10:00,070
How can I comment on someone else's research when they probably spent five years doing it?

171
00:10:00,700 --> 00:10:05,770
I think a lot of people who come from overseas countries have similar problems.

172
00:10:06,190 --> 00:10:09,730
But after a while, it became easier for me.

173
00:10:09,850 --> 00:10:15,430
People expect you to have problems with the process of reading and writing, but in fact, it is more

174
00:10:15,430 --> 00:10:19,540
a question of altering your viewpoint towards academic study.

175
00:10:19,570 --> 00:10:19,940
Hmm.

176
00:10:20,680 --> 00:10:21,210
How was.

177
00:10:22,310 --> 00:10:22,880
All right.

178
00:10:22,880 --> 00:10:29,240
And so there for number 22, the answer is C, she said, the lecturers want you to be critical.

179
00:10:30,300 --> 00:10:35,310
And also she said that it's a question of being able to alter your viewpoint.

180
00:10:35,700 --> 00:10:38,820
That's what she had to succeed at doing with her assignments.

181
00:10:39,510 --> 00:10:41,580
She had to change her way of thinking.

182
00:10:41,730 --> 00:10:44,820
Remember, correct answer choices are going to use synonyms.

183
00:10:45,090 --> 00:10:49,230
Don't get attracted to the word read or the word right.

184
00:10:49,350 --> 00:10:54,120
Because they said those exact words and they're trying to pull you towards that wrong answer choice.

185
00:10:55,140 --> 00:10:59,700
She did not say she needed to succeed or get better with reading.

186
00:10:59,710 --> 00:11:02,610
She said You're expected to have those problems.

187
00:11:03,150 --> 00:11:06,910
She said it was difficult to write, but that had to do with adjusting to the system.

188
00:11:06,930 --> 00:11:12,990
Again, she's talking about when she's when she says that she's talking about wanting having to be critical

189
00:11:13,680 --> 00:11:15,520
and altering her viewpoint.

190
00:11:15,540 --> 00:11:17,100
So number 22 is see.

191
00:11:18,670 --> 00:11:20,380
It's the content of the lectures.

192
00:11:20,410 --> 00:11:21,730
Was it easy for you?

193
00:11:22,030 --> 00:11:25,420
I didn't really have many problems understanding lectures.

194
00:11:25,690 --> 00:11:29,020
The content was very similar to what I'd studied before.

195
00:11:29,050 --> 00:11:31,370
And what about the lecturers themselves?

196
00:11:31,390 --> 00:11:34,320
Are they essentially the same as lecturers in your country?

197
00:11:34,630 --> 00:11:36,130
Well, actually, no.

198
00:11:36,250 --> 00:11:38,530
Here they're much easier to approach.

199
00:11:39,820 --> 00:11:40,080
Right.

200
00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:49,110
So the answer choice is approach apr0h I'm sorry, appro a c h.

201
00:11:49,740 --> 00:11:56,100
Now there we had a distraction trap because after they gave you the answer for number 22, they tried

202
00:11:56,100 --> 00:11:59,520
to distract you by talking about the content of the lectures.

203
00:11:59,730 --> 00:12:00,780
There's no question.

204
00:12:00,780 --> 00:12:05,190
There is no question that is asking about the content of the lectures.

205
00:12:05,610 --> 00:12:08,460
That's what's called a distraction, a misdirection.

206
00:12:08,460 --> 00:12:09,630
To throw you off.

207
00:12:10,020 --> 00:12:14,430
You have to wait until they talk about lecturers right here.

208
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:20,760
Once they start talking about them, then then they mentioned or she mentioned that they were easier

209
00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:22,110
to approach.

210
00:12:25,580 --> 00:12:31,310
After every lecture you can go and ask them something you didn't understand, or you can make an appointment

211
00:12:31,310 --> 00:12:33,860
and talk to them about anything in the course.

212
00:12:33,980 --> 00:12:37,810
Maybe you found them different because you're a more mature student now.

213
00:12:37,820 --> 00:12:41,780
Whereas when you were studying in your country, you were younger and not so assertive.

214
00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:47,380
So Paul makes the suggestion that Keira may be more mature now.

215
00:12:49,540 --> 00:12:51,010
More mature now.

216
00:12:51,370 --> 00:12:53,650
In her country, she was less assertive.

217
00:12:54,220 --> 00:12:57,790
So that language is a paraphrase for matching number 24.

218
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:03,730
Now, after this, you're going to hear hear her say, but she doesn't think that's true.

219
00:13:04,150 --> 00:13:07,750
But for this question, number 24, we don't care what she thinks.

220
00:13:08,290 --> 00:13:11,170
The question is asking, what does Paul suggest?

221
00:13:11,410 --> 00:13:13,090
Not what Kira thinks.

222
00:13:15,210 --> 00:13:18,240
No, I don't think that's the difference.

223
00:13:18,630 --> 00:13:20,620
Most of the students here do it.

224
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:26,190
In my faculty, they all seem to make appointments, usually to talk about something in the course that's

225
00:13:26,190 --> 00:13:31,320
worrying them, but sometimes just about something that might really interest them.

226
00:13:32,240 --> 00:13:32,540
All right.

227
00:13:32,540 --> 00:13:36,710
So she said that the students want to discuss things that might be worrying them.

228
00:13:37,570 --> 00:13:38,260
Right.

229
00:13:38,650 --> 00:13:41,320
But some things might interest them.

230
00:13:42,030 --> 00:13:45,630
Or that interest them, but some things might interest them.

231
00:13:45,930 --> 00:13:49,650
And then you just need to make sure you spell the word interest correctly.

232
00:13:49,800 --> 00:13:53,160
If you have one letter wrong, your answer is wrong.

233
00:13:53,550 --> 00:13:56,550
So number 23 is approach 24 is mature.

234
00:13:56,580 --> 00:13:58,290
25 is interest.

235
00:13:58,380 --> 00:13:59,580
21 is a.

236
00:13:59,610 --> 00:14:00,870
22 is C.

237
00:14:03,020 --> 00:14:05,270
Something they might want to specialize in.

238
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:10,610
The lecturers must set aside certain times every week when they're available for students.

239
00:14:10,640 --> 00:14:11,690
That's good to hear.

240
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:20,500
Before you hear the rest of the conversation, you have some time to look at questions.

241
00:14:20,500 --> 00:14:22,630
26 to 30.

242
00:14:42,610 --> 00:14:45,010
Now listen and answer questions.

243
00:14:45,010 --> 00:14:47,080
26 to 30.

244
00:14:50,340 --> 00:14:52,290
And how was your timetable?

245
00:14:52,320 --> 00:14:53,850
Was it a very busy year?

246
00:14:53,880 --> 00:14:55,870
Oh, very, very busy.

247
00:14:55,890 --> 00:14:57,990
They make you work very hard.

248
00:14:58,200 --> 00:15:02,700
Apart from lectures, we had practical sessions in a lot of subjects.

249
00:15:02,850 --> 00:15:04,800
We did these in small groups.

250
00:15:06,280 --> 00:15:08,260
Practical practical sessions.

251
00:15:08,260 --> 00:15:09,670
We did these.

252
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:12,760
Another reference there using a reference.

253
00:15:12,940 --> 00:15:15,100
We did these in small groups.

254
00:15:15,370 --> 00:15:21,460
So you could have written your answer as groups or small groups, but you had to pick up on the reference.

255
00:15:22,970 --> 00:15:27,550
I had to go and work for hours every week in a community pharmacy.

256
00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:30,530
Actually, I enjoyed this very much.

257
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:32,750
Meeting new people all the time.

258
00:15:32,990 --> 00:15:37,760
Then in second semester, we had to get experience in hospital dispensaries.

259
00:15:37,850 --> 00:15:42,590
So every second day, we went to one of the big hospitals and worked there.

260
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:43,670
All right.

261
00:15:43,940 --> 00:15:50,030
After number 26, we had another distraction where she talked about having to work for hours in a pharmacy.

262
00:15:50,930 --> 00:15:56,480
And she got into talking about her second semester and said every second day we went to work in the

263
00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:57,260
hospital.

264
00:15:57,590 --> 00:16:02,270
So you could have ridden every second day or every two days as your answer choice.

265
00:16:02,270 --> 00:16:07,880
Both would be acceptable, but you always have to watch out for the distraction traps.

266
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:13,550
Sometimes they'll throw in just an extra couple of sentences of language to try to throw you off.

267
00:16:15,650 --> 00:16:20,330
And on top of all that, we had our assignments, which took me a lot of time.

268
00:16:20,660 --> 00:16:22,220
Oh, I nearly forgot.

269
00:16:22,250 --> 00:16:27,800
Between first and second semesters, we had to work full time for two weeks in a hospital.

270
00:16:28,770 --> 00:16:33,780
We had to work full time for two weeks in the hospital or at the hospital.

271
00:16:34,110 --> 00:16:37,080
So the answer for number 28 is two weeks.

272
00:16:37,770 --> 00:16:39,630
It does sound a very heavy year.

273
00:16:39,810 --> 00:16:42,180
So are you pleased now that you did it?

274
00:16:42,540 --> 00:16:44,310
Do you feel some sense of achievement?

275
00:16:44,340 --> 00:16:48,840
Yeah, I do feel much more confident, which I suppose is the most.

276
00:16:49,590 --> 00:16:49,890
All right.

277
00:16:49,890 --> 00:16:52,590
So he asked her, are you pleased you did it?

278
00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:54,900
That's paraphrasing for the word.

279
00:16:54,900 --> 00:16:55,920
Completed.

280
00:16:56,220 --> 00:16:57,530
Completed the year.

281
00:16:57,540 --> 00:16:58,890
And then she says, what?

282
00:16:58,890 --> 00:17:00,990
I feel exact language.

283
00:17:00,990 --> 00:17:02,160
Much more confident.

284
00:17:02,160 --> 00:17:05,370
So this one, this one, number 29, was very direct.

285
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:08,250
You just had to pick up on what he said.

286
00:17:08,250 --> 00:17:09,750
Are you pleased you did it?

287
00:17:09,930 --> 00:17:13,350
That that was really going towards having completed the year.

288
00:17:15,890 --> 00:17:17,510
Most important thing.

289
00:17:17,540 --> 00:17:21,230
And have you got any recommendations for people who are studying from overseas?

290
00:17:21,620 --> 00:17:24,750
Well, I suppose they need very good English.

291
00:17:24,770 --> 00:17:30,200
It would be much better if they spent more time learning English before they enter the university,

292
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:35,690
because you can be in big trouble if you don't understand what people are saying and you haven't got

293
00:17:35,690 --> 00:17:38,450
time to translate anything else.

294
00:17:38,540 --> 00:17:45,740
Well, as I said before, the biggest problem for me was lack of familiarity with the education system

295
00:17:45,740 --> 00:17:46,340
here.

296
00:17:46,370 --> 00:17:48,470
It sounds as if it was a real challenge.

297
00:17:48,500 --> 00:17:51,170
Congratulations, Kiera, and thanks, Paul.

298
00:17:52,500 --> 00:17:52,920
All right.

299
00:17:52,920 --> 00:17:56,370
And for number 30, the answer is education system.

300
00:17:57,030 --> 00:18:00,120
She first started off by saying you need very good English.

301
00:18:00,330 --> 00:18:03,810
And that went towards talking about in addition to language.

302
00:18:04,170 --> 00:18:13,250
And then she said, having a lack of familiarity with the education system there.

303
00:18:13,260 --> 00:18:15,990
They're playing with the word form familiar.

304
00:18:16,020 --> 00:18:21,660
To see if you recognize the difference, the different word form and when the answer is being said.

305
00:18:22,290 --> 00:18:22,850
Och.

306
00:18:22,860 --> 00:18:31,290
So I hope that this question by question analysis in terms of stopping and and analyzing and then starting,

307
00:18:31,650 --> 00:18:33,510
I hope that was very helpful for you.

308
00:18:33,900 --> 00:18:39,750
Keep in mind, if you have any questions along the way, you're more than welcome to ask and I will

309
00:18:39,750 --> 00:18:42,120
be sure to answer to the best of my ability.

310
00:18:42,150 --> 00:18:43,110
Thanks a lot.

311
00:18:43,140 --> 00:18:44,160
Have a great day.

312
00:18:44,190 --> 00:18:44,850
Take care.
