1
00:00:00,390 --> 00:00:01,200
Hi there, everyone.

2
00:00:01,200 --> 00:00:03,090
It's great to be with you again.

3
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:08,340
We're going to now go over another Section four of the Isles listening exam.

4
00:00:08,670 --> 00:00:12,510
Please note that the first set of questions are all multiple choice.

5
00:00:12,750 --> 00:00:19,380
And I've put right here a note that explains how to really do a multiple choice question.

6
00:00:19,650 --> 00:00:25,710
Some of you need a refresher about what to watch out for and how to really answer this type of multiple

7
00:00:25,710 --> 00:00:26,670
choice question.

8
00:00:27,090 --> 00:00:32,610
You can see I've already highlighted the keywords in the questions that I'm going to be listening for

9
00:00:32,730 --> 00:00:39,450
because those those words are so important because the correct answer choice will connect to that key

10
00:00:39,450 --> 00:00:40,980
word language from the question.

11
00:00:42,180 --> 00:00:49,290
Now, in addition to multiple choice questions, we also have another type of multiple choice question,

12
00:00:49,290 --> 00:00:53,100
which is where you have the answer choices in a box.

13
00:00:53,130 --> 00:00:53,460
A.

14
00:00:53,490 --> 00:00:53,670
B.

15
00:00:53,670 --> 00:00:53,910
C.

16
00:00:53,910 --> 00:00:54,150
D.

17
00:00:54,150 --> 00:00:54,300
E.

18
00:00:54,330 --> 00:00:54,840
F.

19
00:00:56,320 --> 00:00:59,890
And then you have the information in the different questions below.

20
00:01:00,070 --> 00:01:02,500
37, 38, 39 and 40.

21
00:01:03,230 --> 00:01:11,150
Now again, here I have a note that explains the strategy for doing this question type in case you need

22
00:01:11,150 --> 00:01:11,990
a refresher.

23
00:01:12,350 --> 00:01:13,790
But let me tell you this.

24
00:01:14,150 --> 00:01:19,460
We're in Section four, and I know you probably have seen this question type in Section two and Section

25
00:01:19,460 --> 00:01:27,080
three, but what really makes it different in in section number four is that they will use synonym language

26
00:01:27,080 --> 00:01:33,140
for the answers that are in the box and they will use synonym language for the question language.

27
00:01:33,470 --> 00:01:38,110
Now it goes in order, but they're not going to say this exact language.

28
00:01:38,120 --> 00:01:42,410
A person interviewed in the street, they're not going to say that exact language.

29
00:01:42,410 --> 00:01:47,420
They're going to paraphrase it to try to disguise when they're giving the question.

30
00:01:47,540 --> 00:01:53,270
But again, it goes in order 37, 38, 39 and 40.

31
00:01:53,570 --> 00:01:58,390
So first of all, you have to recognize that they're saying the information in the question.

32
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:04,040
Then you have to recognize which answer choice they're connecting to that question.

33
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:07,190
And it's all about paraphrasing and synonyms.

34
00:02:09,980 --> 00:02:10,370
All right.

35
00:02:10,370 --> 00:02:12,050
So let's go ahead and get started.

36
00:02:12,410 --> 00:02:14,930
I'm going to go ahead and do mine first.

37
00:02:15,350 --> 00:02:20,180
This is from book eight, Test two, Section four.

38
00:02:20,540 --> 00:02:22,120
This is from book eight.

39
00:02:22,130 --> 00:02:24,230
Test two, Section four.

40
00:02:24,560 --> 00:02:28,160
So you should go ahead and take out your book and do your.

41
00:02:29,580 --> 00:02:31,020
Test right now.

42
00:02:31,170 --> 00:02:37,350
And then you can come back and check for the analysis, for the questions that you got wrong or for

43
00:02:37,350 --> 00:02:40,800
just more explanation about the tricks and the traps that they're using.

44
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:41,430
All right.

45
00:02:41,430 --> 00:02:42,990
I'm going to get started right now.

46
00:02:43,500 --> 00:02:49,980
I've been doing some research into what people in Britain think of doctors, the ones who work in general

47
00:02:49,980 --> 00:02:56,580
practice, the first call for medical care and comparing this with the situation in a couple of other

48
00:02:56,580 --> 00:02:57,420
countries.

49
00:02:57,930 --> 00:03:02,190
I want to talk about the rationale behind what I decided to do.

50
00:03:02,850 --> 00:03:07,590
Now I had to set up my program of research in three different countries.

51
00:03:07,650 --> 00:03:15,210
So I approached postgraduates in my field in overseas departments, contacting them by email to organise

52
00:03:15,210 --> 00:03:17,040
things for me at their end.

53
00:03:17,430 --> 00:03:24,060
I thought I would have trouble recruiting help, but in fact everyone was very willing and sometimes

54
00:03:24,060 --> 00:03:26,040
their tutors got involved too.

55
00:03:27,220 --> 00:03:34,000
I had to give my helpers clear instructions about what kind of sample population I wanted them to use.

56
00:03:34,510 --> 00:03:41,650
I decided that people under 18 should be excluded because most of them are students or looking for their

57
00:03:41,650 --> 00:03:42,670
first job.

58
00:03:43,150 --> 00:03:50,020
And also, I decided at this stage just to focus on men who were in employment and set up something

59
00:03:50,020 --> 00:03:56,740
for people who didn't have jobs and for employed women later on as a separate investigation.

60
00:03:57,130 --> 00:04:04,660
I specifically wanted to do a questionnaire and interviews with a focus group with the questionnaire,

61
00:04:04,660 --> 00:04:07,900
rather than limiting it to one specific point.

62
00:04:07,990 --> 00:04:11,470
I wanted to include as much variety as possible.

63
00:04:11,860 --> 00:04:18,610
I know questionnaires are a very controlled way to do things, but I thought I could do taped interviews

64
00:04:18,610 --> 00:04:21,850
later on to counteract the effects of this.

65
00:04:22,600 --> 00:04:30,190
And the focus group may also prove useful in future by targeting subjects I can easily return to, as

66
00:04:30,190 --> 00:04:32,620
the participants tend to be more involved.

67
00:04:33,560 --> 00:04:36,440
So I'm just collating the results now.

68
00:04:36,740 --> 00:04:43,220
At the moment it looks as if in the UK, despite the fact that newspapers continually report that people

69
00:04:43,220 --> 00:04:45,140
are unhappy with medical care.

70
00:04:45,350 --> 00:04:51,920
In fact, it is mainly the third level of care which takes place in hospitals that they are worried

71
00:04:51,920 --> 00:04:52,640
about.

72
00:04:53,550 --> 00:04:56,790
Government reforms have been proposed at all levels.

73
00:04:56,790 --> 00:05:03,660
And although their success is not guaranteed, long term hospital care is in fact probably less of an

74
00:05:03,660 --> 00:05:06,480
issue than the media would have us believe.

75
00:05:07,050 --> 00:05:10,590
However, I've still got quite a bit of data to look at.

76
00:05:11,590 --> 00:05:18,190
Certainly I will need to do more far reaching research than I had anticipated in order to establish

77
00:05:18,190 --> 00:05:25,240
if people want extra medical staff invested in the community or if they want care to revert to fewer

78
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:27,850
but larger key medical units.

79
00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:36,110
The solution may well be something that can be easily implemented by those responsible in local government

80
00:05:36,110 --> 00:05:37,970
with central government support.

81
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:45,650
Of course, this first stage has proved very valuable, though I was surprised by how willing most of

82
00:05:45,650 --> 00:05:48,230
the subjects were to get involved in the project.

83
00:05:48,410 --> 00:05:56,540
I had expected some unwillingness to answer questions honestly, but I was taken aback and rather concerned

84
00:05:56,540 --> 00:06:02,990
that something I thought I'd set up very well didn't necessarily seem that way to everyone in my own

85
00:06:02,990 --> 00:06:03,800
department.

86
00:06:08,680 --> 00:06:15,010
I thought you might also be interested in some of the problems I encountered in collecting my data.

87
00:06:15,940 --> 00:06:18,370
There were odd cases that threw me.

88
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:25,120
One of the subjects who I had approached while he was out shopping in town decided to pull out when

89
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:27,040
it came to the second round.

90
00:06:27,370 --> 00:06:32,500
It was a shame as it was someone who I would like to have interviewed more closely.

91
00:06:33,680 --> 00:06:40,130
And one of the first year students I interviewed wanted reassurance that no names would be traceable

92
00:06:40,130 --> 00:06:41,270
from the answers.

93
00:06:41,660 --> 00:06:47,750
I was so surprised because they think nothing of telling you about themselves and their opinions in

94
00:06:47,750 --> 00:06:48,950
seminar groups.

95
00:06:50,030 --> 00:06:53,660
Then one of the people that I worked with got a bit funny.

96
00:06:54,380 --> 00:06:56,600
The questions were quite personal.

97
00:06:56,750 --> 00:06:59,360
And one minute he said he'd do it.

98
00:06:59,540 --> 00:07:01,580
Then the next day he wouldn't.

99
00:07:01,970 --> 00:07:04,160
And in the end, he did do it.

100
00:07:05,300 --> 00:07:08,340
It's hard not to get angry in that situation.

101
00:07:08,360 --> 00:07:13,460
But I tried to keep focused on the overall picture in order to stay calm.

102
00:07:15,030 --> 00:07:22,110
The most bizarre case was a telephone interview I did with a teacher at a university in France.

103
00:07:22,680 --> 00:07:25,740
He answered all my questions in great detail.

104
00:07:25,980 --> 00:07:33,150
But then when I asked how much access he had to dangerous substances, he wouldn't tell me exactly what

105
00:07:33,150 --> 00:07:34,590
his work involved.

106
00:07:35,400 --> 00:07:38,000
Okay, let's go ahead and give the answer choices.

107
00:07:38,010 --> 00:07:40,830
Number 31 is B.

108
00:07:41,560 --> 00:07:48,460
The shift to the question was when she said I had to set up a programme of research.

109
00:07:49,090 --> 00:07:57,460
Then she said in three different countries she approached postgraduates in her field in overseas departments.

110
00:07:57,970 --> 00:07:59,530
That is a paraphrase for choice.

111
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:01,360
B Help from students.

112
00:08:01,480 --> 00:08:05,350
Students is the synonym for of students is postgraduate.

113
00:08:06,420 --> 00:08:06,780
Right.

114
00:08:06,810 --> 00:08:09,540
Overseas departments is other countries.

115
00:08:10,550 --> 00:08:12,080
Now, she said.

116
00:08:12,230 --> 00:08:15,770
Sometimes their tutors got involved.

117
00:08:16,440 --> 00:08:20,640
So the answer is not see because see, says her tutor.

118
00:08:20,910 --> 00:08:22,860
But she said there tutors.

119
00:08:22,860 --> 00:08:24,390
And he has not mentioned.

120
00:08:25,910 --> 00:08:27,350
Number 32 is B.

121
00:08:27,860 --> 00:08:31,460
First, we had the shift from 31 to 32.

122
00:08:31,490 --> 00:08:36,500
She said she had to give clear instruction on the kind of sample population.

123
00:08:38,530 --> 00:08:43,300
She said under 18 is excluded looking for their first job so it's not a.

124
00:08:44,080 --> 00:08:51,400
She also said employed women later on so it's not C the answer is B because she said just focus on men

125
00:08:51,430 --> 00:08:54,220
who were in employment.

126
00:08:55,030 --> 00:08:57,610
And employment, which means working.

127
00:08:58,270 --> 00:09:05,620
But that's very tricky because a lot of you may have heard unemployment, but they said in employment.

128
00:09:07,090 --> 00:09:13,390
Number 33, the shift from 32 to 33 specifically wanted to do a questionnaire.

129
00:09:13,420 --> 00:09:19,030
Now we know we're in question 33 include as much variety as possible.

130
00:09:19,030 --> 00:09:22,840
That's why the answer is a she said taped interviews later.

131
00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:27,010
That means that see rather than limit to one point.

132
00:09:27,010 --> 00:09:29,080
That means the answer cannot be be.

133
00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:30,510
Right.

134
00:09:30,510 --> 00:09:33,420
Which says limit rather than limit is what she said.

135
00:09:36,850 --> 00:09:38,320
Number 34.

136
00:09:38,350 --> 00:09:41,230
These shifts, she said, collating results now.

137
00:09:41,260 --> 00:09:43,780
That's how we know we're now doing number 34.

138
00:09:44,020 --> 00:09:48,790
The answer is a, despite newspaper reports of people being unhappy.

139
00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:52,970
In fact, the third level of care in hospital they're worried about.

140
00:09:53,150 --> 00:09:59,750
So when she said despite newspaper reports of people being unhappy, that means that's the paraphrase

141
00:09:59,750 --> 00:10:02,780
of current concerns are misrepresented by the press.

142
00:10:04,940 --> 00:10:13,520
And then, of course, she said some words that can try to attract you to a wrong answer choice.

143
00:10:14,690 --> 00:10:17,060
Like for number 34.

144
00:10:17,300 --> 00:10:19,850
You probably heard her say the word government.

145
00:10:20,420 --> 00:10:23,000
You heard her say the word reforms.

146
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:24,810
You heard her say the word hospital.

147
00:10:24,830 --> 00:10:26,270
You heard her say the word level.

148
00:10:26,510 --> 00:10:33,920
She said a lot of those exact words from choices B and C, but she did not say the full answer for B

149
00:10:33,920 --> 00:10:39,800
or C, she just said some key words like the word reform and the word government were said in the same

150
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:40,610
sentence.

151
00:10:41,930 --> 00:10:42,290
Right.

152
00:10:42,290 --> 00:10:48,980
So you have to be aware of that be aware of that trap because they know a lot of students are thinking,

153
00:10:49,010 --> 00:10:50,450
I heard this exact words.

154
00:10:50,450 --> 00:10:55,070
That means the answer must be this correct answers will use synonyms.

155
00:10:55,610 --> 00:10:58,460
The correct answer for 34 was paraphrased.

156
00:11:00,660 --> 00:11:01,610
Number 35.

157
00:11:01,620 --> 00:11:05,130
The correct answer is see the shift.

158
00:11:05,430 --> 00:11:07,490
Quite a bit of data to look at.

159
00:11:07,500 --> 00:11:10,200
That's how we know we're now in question 35.

160
00:11:10,560 --> 00:11:16,770
The answer is C, because she said if people want extra medical staff invested in community or that

161
00:11:16,770 --> 00:11:20,420
means prefer fewer larger medical units.

162
00:11:20,430 --> 00:11:21,820
That's a paraphrase for choice.

163
00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:22,380
C.

164
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:30,710
She said the solutions might be can be implemented by local government and central.

165
00:11:30,950 --> 00:11:35,270
It's not a because she didn't say that she's going to present her findings to them.

166
00:11:36,280 --> 00:11:38,050
You just heard the word government.

167
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:39,790
Right.

168
00:11:39,790 --> 00:11:44,800
And also you heard the word extra, which some students might choose be because, hey, I heard the

169
00:11:44,800 --> 00:11:49,720
word extra, but she did not say decide the level of extra funding needed.

170
00:11:49,840 --> 00:11:54,700
So please stop picking exact language number 36.

171
00:11:55,510 --> 00:11:58,050
The shift first stage proved very valuable.

172
00:11:58,060 --> 00:12:00,040
That means she's going to talk about what she learned.

173
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:01,720
So we know we're shifting.

174
00:12:02,260 --> 00:12:10,660
Answer C was taken aback or taken aback, which means that I was surprised in a negative way.

175
00:12:11,260 --> 00:12:18,580
What she set up was it was not what she set up that didn't seem that way to the part, to the department.

176
00:12:19,730 --> 00:12:22,250
She was surprised how willing people were to get involved.

177
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:25,910
I mean, the answer is not be and choice A was not mentioned.

178
00:12:28,810 --> 00:12:29,830
Now for this one.

179
00:12:29,830 --> 00:12:32,290
It happened exactly how I told you.

180
00:12:32,770 --> 00:12:37,510
They paraphrased the question language approach while shopping in town.

181
00:12:37,540 --> 00:12:38,280
That's how we knew.

182
00:12:38,290 --> 00:12:41,290
We're doing 37, one of the first year students.

183
00:12:41,290 --> 00:12:42,970
That's how we knew we're doing 38.

184
00:12:43,180 --> 00:12:48,250
One of the people I work with, a colleague in her department, that was the paraphrase teacher at a

185
00:12:48,250 --> 00:12:52,420
university in France paraphrase a tutor in a foreign university.

186
00:12:54,130 --> 00:12:54,270
Right.

187
00:12:54,410 --> 00:12:58,510
And maybe she said tutor in a foreign university number 37.

188
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:03,140
The paraphrase decided to pull out when it came to second round.

189
00:13:03,260 --> 00:13:04,880
That is a paraphrase of choice.

190
00:13:04,910 --> 00:13:07,010
B decided to stop participating.

191
00:13:07,310 --> 00:13:10,610
38 wanted reassurance that no names are traceable.

192
00:13:11,150 --> 00:13:14,990
That's a paraphrase of F was worried about confidentiality.

193
00:13:15,260 --> 00:13:17,180
39 one minute said I do it.

194
00:13:17,180 --> 00:13:18,740
Next minute, said Wooden.

195
00:13:18,740 --> 00:13:19,970
Finally did it.

196
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:21,520
That is a paraphrase for choice.

197
00:13:21,530 --> 00:13:25,370
DH kept changing their mind about participating and 40.

198
00:13:25,550 --> 00:13:27,920
He wouldn't tell me what his work involved.

199
00:13:28,070 --> 00:13:33,500
That's C a paraphrase for C refused to tell Shona about their job.

200
00:13:33,530 --> 00:13:42,020
Now I hope you didn't fall for the trap that was said between question believe it was between two of

201
00:13:42,020 --> 00:13:43,010
the questions.

202
00:13:43,340 --> 00:13:43,670
Right?

203
00:13:43,670 --> 00:13:47,660
There was a trap between, I think 39 and 40.

204
00:13:49,170 --> 00:13:54,330
Or may have been between 38 and 39, but there was a trap that you should not have fallen for.

205
00:13:54,630 --> 00:13:59,430
She said It's hard not to get angry, but I focused.

206
00:14:00,210 --> 00:14:00,610
Right.

207
00:14:00,630 --> 00:14:05,100
So some of you may have said, oh, she said the word angry, so I'm going to choose E, but she was

208
00:14:05,100 --> 00:14:09,300
talking about herself when she said it's hard not to get angry, but I focused.

209
00:14:09,570 --> 00:14:12,690
She was talking about herself, not one of the participants.

210
00:14:12,690 --> 00:14:15,090
So you can't choose E as an answer choice.

211
00:14:16,390 --> 00:14:16,720
All right.

212
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:19,150
So I hope this was very helpful for you.

213
00:14:19,180 --> 00:14:21,070
Thank you so much for joining me.

214
00:14:21,950 --> 00:14:27,470
I'm going to go ahead and play it one more time so you can listen to it with me as I'm going through

215
00:14:27,470 --> 00:14:35,570
and checking my answer choices while looking at the trap language and the answer language that they

216
00:14:35,570 --> 00:14:36,290
used.

217
00:14:36,950 --> 00:14:43,430
I've been doing some research into what people in Britain think of doctors, the ones who work in general

218
00:14:43,430 --> 00:14:50,030
practice, the first call for medical care and comparing this with the situation in a couple of other

219
00:14:50,030 --> 00:14:50,870
countries.

220
00:14:51,380 --> 00:14:55,610
I want to talk about the rationale behind what I decided to do.

221
00:14:56,300 --> 00:15:01,040
Now I had to set up my program of research in three different countries.

222
00:15:01,100 --> 00:15:08,660
So I approached postgraduates in my field in overseas departments, contacting them by email to organise

223
00:15:08,660 --> 00:15:10,490
things for me at their end.

224
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:17,480
I thought I would have trouble recruiting help, but in fact everyone was very willing and sometimes

225
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:19,460
their tutors got involved too.

226
00:15:20,630 --> 00:15:27,440
I had to give my helpers clear instructions about what kind of sample population I wanted them to use.

227
00:15:27,950 --> 00:15:35,090
I decided that people under 18 should be excluded because most of them are students or looking for their

228
00:15:35,090 --> 00:15:36,110
first job.

229
00:15:36,590 --> 00:15:43,460
And also, I decided at this stage just to focus on men who were in employment and set up something

230
00:15:43,460 --> 00:15:50,150
for people who didn't have jobs and for employed women later on as a separate investigation.

231
00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:58,100
I specifically wanted to do a questionnaire and interviews with a focus group with the questionnaire,

232
00:15:58,100 --> 00:16:01,370
rather than limiting it to one specific point.

233
00:16:01,430 --> 00:16:04,880
I wanted to include as much variety as possible.

234
00:16:05,300 --> 00:16:12,050
I know questionnaires are a very controlled way to do things, but I thought I could do taped interviews

235
00:16:12,050 --> 00:16:15,290
later on to counteract the effects of this.

236
00:16:16,100 --> 00:16:23,630
And the focus group may also prove useful in future by targeting subjects I can easily return to, as

237
00:16:23,630 --> 00:16:26,060
the participants tend to be more involved.

238
00:16:27,030 --> 00:16:29,880
So I'm just collating the results now.

239
00:16:30,210 --> 00:16:36,660
At the moment it looks as if in the UK, despite the fact that newspapers continually report that people

240
00:16:36,660 --> 00:16:38,580
are unhappy with medical care.

241
00:16:38,790 --> 00:16:45,360
In fact, it is mainly the third level of care which takes place in hospitals that they are worried

242
00:16:45,360 --> 00:16:46,080
about.

243
00:16:47,020 --> 00:16:50,230
Government reforms have been proposed at all levels.

244
00:16:50,230 --> 00:16:57,130
And although their success is not guaranteed, long term hospital care is in fact probably less of an

245
00:16:57,130 --> 00:16:59,920
issue than the media would have us believe.

246
00:17:00,460 --> 00:17:04,030
However, I've still got quite a bit of data to look at.

247
00:17:05,060 --> 00:17:11,630
Certainly I will need to do more far reaching research than I had anticipated in order to establish

248
00:17:11,630 --> 00:17:18,710
if people want extra medical staff invested in the community or if they want care to revert to fewer

249
00:17:18,710 --> 00:17:21,290
but larger key medical units.

250
00:17:22,320 --> 00:17:29,550
The solution may well be something that can be easily implemented by those responsible in local government

251
00:17:29,550 --> 00:17:31,410
with central government support.

252
00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:32,250
Of course.

253
00:17:32,980 --> 00:17:39,730
This first stage has proved very valuable, though I was surprised by how willing most of the subjects

254
00:17:39,730 --> 00:17:41,650
were to get involved in the project.

255
00:17:41,890 --> 00:17:49,960
I had expected some unwillingness to answer questions honestly, but I was taken aback and rather concerned

256
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:56,440
that something I thought I had set up very well didn't necessarily seem that way to everyone in my own

257
00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:57,250
department.

258
00:18:02,170 --> 00:18:08,470
I thought you might also be interested in some of the problems I encountered in collecting my data.

259
00:18:09,340 --> 00:18:11,800
There were odd cases that threw me.

260
00:18:11,830 --> 00:18:18,580
One of the subjects who I had approached while he was out shopping in town decided to pull out when

261
00:18:18,580 --> 00:18:20,470
it came to the second round.

262
00:18:20,800 --> 00:18:25,960
It was a shame as it was someone who I would like to have interviewed more closely.

263
00:18:27,100 --> 00:18:33,550
And one of the first years students I interviewed wanted reassurance that no names would be traceable

264
00:18:33,550 --> 00:18:34,690
from the answers.

265
00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:41,200
I was so surprised because they think nothing of telling you about themselves and their opinions in

266
00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:42,400
seminar groups.

267
00:18:43,450 --> 00:18:50,050
Then one of the people that I worked with got a bit funny and the questions were quite personal.

268
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:52,810
And one minute he said he'd do it.

269
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:55,030
Then the next day he wouldn't.

270
00:18:55,420 --> 00:18:57,610
And in the end, he did do it.

271
00:18:58,740 --> 00:19:01,740
It's hard not to get angry in that situation.

272
00:19:01,800 --> 00:19:06,900
But I tried to keep focused on the overall picture in order to stay calm.

273
00:19:08,470 --> 00:19:15,580
The most bizarre case was a telephone interview I did with a teacher at a university in France.

274
00:19:16,120 --> 00:19:19,180
He answered all my questions in great detail.

275
00:19:19,450 --> 00:19:26,590
But then when I asked how much access he had to dangerous substances, he wouldn't tell me exactly what

276
00:19:26,590 --> 00:19:28,060
his work involved.

277
00:19:28,540 --> 00:19:36,370
Now, let me say that when you are practising at home, don't be one of those students who just takes

278
00:19:36,370 --> 00:19:39,310
one test, checks the answers, and jumps to the next test.

279
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:41,200
You're not improving that way.

280
00:19:41,710 --> 00:19:45,520
The way you improve is by doing exactly what I just did here.

281
00:19:45,880 --> 00:19:47,260
You take the test.

282
00:19:47,770 --> 00:19:49,450
You can check your answers.

283
00:19:49,450 --> 00:19:53,440
And then whether you got an answer wrong or right.

284
00:19:53,590 --> 00:19:55,930
Break each question down.

285
00:19:55,930 --> 00:19:58,600
Pull out the synonym language that was used.

286
00:19:58,630 --> 00:20:01,150
Identify the traps that they used.

287
00:20:01,180 --> 00:20:04,540
That's how you use these listening passages to get better.

288
00:20:04,870 --> 00:20:06,370
Please take that advice.

289
00:20:06,520 --> 00:20:07,020
All right.

290
00:20:07,030 --> 00:20:08,560
Take care and have a great day.
