1 00:00:02,210 --> 00:00:02,680 All right. 2 00:00:02,680 --> 00:00:09,160 So I want to talk a little bit about how they create multiple choice questions and answers, how they 3 00:00:09,160 --> 00:00:11,460 actually create multiple choice questions and answers. 4 00:00:11,470 --> 00:00:13,450 I want to talk about that a little bit, please. 5 00:00:13,870 --> 00:00:14,100 All right. 6 00:00:14,170 --> 00:00:17,890 Some people are not clear about how they create questions. 7 00:00:18,190 --> 00:00:22,960 Questions questions are created from one or two sentences in the script. 8 00:00:23,230 --> 00:00:25,870 That's where that's where questions are. 9 00:00:25,900 --> 00:00:31,870 That's where questions are created from from one or two, from one or two sentences in the script. 10 00:00:33,040 --> 00:00:39,850 And so it's a really good idea sometimes to look at the transcript in the back of the book and look 11 00:00:39,850 --> 00:00:43,960 at how they form the questions, look at how they form the questions. 12 00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:51,700 Because one thing you'll notice is they use one or two sentences from from the audio to form the question. 13 00:00:51,850 --> 00:00:55,120 And then directly after that they say the answer choice. 14 00:00:55,660 --> 00:01:02,200 And so if you learn and see how questions are created, you'll you'll do much better in terms of being 15 00:01:02,200 --> 00:01:03,970 able to listen for the answer. 16 00:01:04,570 --> 00:01:10,780 Now, in terms of answers, answers almost always follow the key words from the questions. 17 00:01:11,530 --> 00:01:16,900 So that's why underlying the keywords and the questions is so important. 18 00:01:17,470 --> 00:01:19,180 Is so, so important. 19 00:01:19,510 --> 00:01:25,930 Because when you underline the keywords from the questions, you're going to be able to listen for those 20 00:01:25,930 --> 00:01:26,590 keywords. 21 00:01:26,590 --> 00:01:29,230 And then when you hear them, they'll say the answer choice. 22 00:01:29,800 --> 00:01:37,390 And so a lot of students are not clear about really how to create questions and answers. 23 00:01:37,660 --> 00:01:40,480 And and that's really important to understand. 24 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:50,640 So in terms of overall strategy, when it comes to multiple choice questions, it really comes down 25 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:52,380 to synonyms and paraphrasing. 26 00:01:53,330 --> 00:01:59,450 It really comes down to synonyms and paraphrasing and in terms of synonyms and paraphrasing. 27 00:01:59,780 --> 00:02:01,340 The better you are. 28 00:02:02,390 --> 00:02:04,310 The better you are at this scale. 29 00:02:04,970 --> 00:02:09,140 The better you're going to do on the listening section of the exam. 30 00:02:10,620 --> 00:02:18,210 Understanding synonyms and understanding paraphrasing is what the child's reading section is all about. 31 00:02:19,840 --> 00:02:23,050 And that's what the aisles listening section is all about. 32 00:02:24,160 --> 00:02:30,550 You have to be able to understand that for reading and listening because on field the blind questions 33 00:02:30,550 --> 00:02:33,280 for listening, they deal with synonyms. 34 00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:38,110 You have to be able to recognize a synonym or paraphrase of the language before or after the blank line. 35 00:02:39,230 --> 00:02:44,600 If you do that, you'll hear the answer choice every single time for multiple choice questions. 36 00:02:44,780 --> 00:02:51,230 You have to be able to find find the paraphrasing of what they said in the audio. 37 00:02:51,380 --> 00:02:56,540 If you're able to find the paraphrasing of what they said in the audio, then you're going to find the 38 00:02:56,540 --> 00:02:58,850 correct answer choice every single time. 39 00:02:59,540 --> 00:03:09,080 So what I'm going to go through now is just two different types of practice that you can do at home 40 00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:16,880 to be able to get better at recognizing synonyms and paraphrasing and this this practice that we're 41 00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:22,790 going to go through, the first practice that we're going to go through involves listening to an audio 42 00:03:23,630 --> 00:03:31,880 in terms of having a list of of a list of keywords from questions and listening for the the synonym 43 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:33,710 or the paraphrase of that language. 44 00:03:34,040 --> 00:03:42,020 So I'm going to ask everybody right now, I'm going to look and see what questions are in the chat box. 45 00:03:42,020 --> 00:03:51,620 But I'm going to ask you right now, please do not do not ask a question in the chat box while this 46 00:03:51,620 --> 00:03:52,760 audio is playing. 47 00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:54,080 Do not do that. 48 00:03:54,940 --> 00:03:55,630 All right. 49 00:03:56,170 --> 00:04:01,810 Because what it does is it makes the makes the screen pop up for some people. 50 00:04:01,810 --> 00:04:04,480 And it's a distraction. 51 00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:08,040 So please don't do that. 52 00:04:08,250 --> 00:04:11,450 Look, I'm I'm going to I'm going to look at any questions I can answer right now. 53 00:04:11,460 --> 00:04:14,460 And after that, you know, for right now, just stop. 54 00:04:22,790 --> 00:04:28,050 I see some people are asking questions because they're late coming to class. 55 00:04:34,770 --> 00:04:35,950 The class is recorded. 56 00:04:35,970 --> 00:04:37,050 Whoever responds to that? 57 00:04:37,050 --> 00:04:37,770 Thank you. 58 00:04:38,190 --> 00:04:38,700 You don't. 59 00:04:38,700 --> 00:04:39,240 You can't. 60 00:04:39,520 --> 00:04:39,930 You can't. 61 00:04:39,930 --> 00:04:41,580 You don't have permission to record. 62 00:04:48,860 --> 00:04:51,050 Gone deep in terms of Section four. 63 00:04:51,110 --> 00:04:54,410 I'm going to go over that in terms of multiple choice questions. 64 00:04:54,410 --> 00:04:55,640 I'm going to go over that. 65 00:04:56,470 --> 00:04:58,960 In terms of does every question have equal weight? 66 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:00,520 Yes, it does have equal weight. 67 00:05:02,340 --> 00:05:03,020 Yes. 68 00:05:03,030 --> 00:05:06,360 On the computer based test you can highlight. 69 00:05:08,510 --> 00:05:17,180 If there are some there are some videos on YouTube from from from the British Council that show you 70 00:05:17,180 --> 00:05:18,230 how to highlight. 71 00:05:18,930 --> 00:05:24,900 If you have trouble finding them, ask me in the Udemy course and I will show you the videos to show 72 00:05:24,900 --> 00:05:27,330 you how to highlight on the computer based test. 73 00:05:33,310 --> 00:05:35,020 Yeah, I know. 74 00:05:35,020 --> 00:05:36,370 In terms of the rules. 75 00:05:36,550 --> 00:05:43,380 Normally I would have done that beforehand, but I just thought about doing it 30 minutes ago. 76 00:05:43,390 --> 00:05:44,860 That's why I just put it like that. 77 00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:47,330 All right. 78 00:05:48,470 --> 00:05:55,340 So one more time before we get started, I'm going to reiterate about the rules. 79 00:05:55,340 --> 00:05:58,970 Just go to the just a couple of rules. 80 00:05:59,810 --> 00:06:02,180 Don't ask questions when the audio is playing. 81 00:06:02,390 --> 00:06:07,430 Most of your questions about recording and and will it be recording is in the rules. 82 00:06:07,430 --> 00:06:09,760 So just pay attention to that. 83 00:06:09,770 --> 00:06:12,410 Go up to the beginning of the chat box and read the rules. 84 00:06:12,650 --> 00:06:16,140 Next time I will give the rules in advance OC. 85 00:06:29,930 --> 00:06:30,230 Oh yeah. 86 00:06:30,230 --> 00:06:36,020 I wanted to go over this also in terms of how they create paraphrasing for multiple choice questions. 87 00:06:36,530 --> 00:06:40,850 They use synonyms and they use, of course, paraphrasing to do it. 88 00:06:40,910 --> 00:06:47,360 Sometimes they'll change the word form to create paraphrasing, and other times they'll change the grammatical 89 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:49,670 structure to create paraphrasing. 90 00:06:49,670 --> 00:06:55,670 What I mean by grammatical structure is very often in the listening section, they'll switch between 91 00:06:55,670 --> 00:06:57,290 active and passive voice. 92 00:06:58,100 --> 00:07:00,410 They'll switch between active and passive voice. 93 00:07:00,410 --> 00:07:01,760 And like I said. 94 00:07:03,070 --> 00:07:04,240 You'll see the question. 95 00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:06,730 When you see the question is one simple sentence. 96 00:07:07,570 --> 00:07:14,110 But in the end, when you hear it in the audio, it'll be two sentences or you'll be it'll be formed 97 00:07:14,110 --> 00:07:15,580 in a compound sentence. 98 00:07:15,940 --> 00:07:25,990 And so to increase the difficulty, they do these three different things to create paraphrasing, to 99 00:07:25,990 --> 00:07:28,360 challenge students in terms of their listening. 100 00:07:32,210 --> 00:07:35,930 In terms of tackling and getting better better at paraphrasing. 101 00:07:36,140 --> 00:07:39,350 It's a good idea to create study synonym tables. 102 00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:45,110 And I'm going to go over that a little bit later on in terms of creating study synonym tables. 103 00:07:45,470 --> 00:07:52,460 But creating synonym tables is a really, really great idea to get better at your paraphrasing. 104 00:07:52,790 --> 00:08:04,670 And if you're in the Udemy course and you see lectures 15 to 17 lectures 15 to 17, go over how to create 105 00:08:04,670 --> 00:08:06,080 these synonym tables. 106 00:08:07,940 --> 00:08:14,090 I mentioned about your overall ability studying vocabulary synonym list also helps in terms of tackling 107 00:08:14,090 --> 00:08:15,140 paraphrasing. 108 00:08:15,830 --> 00:08:17,630 Using the transcript. 109 00:08:18,460 --> 00:08:22,990 A lot of students really just waste the transcript that's in the back of the Cambridge books. 110 00:08:23,380 --> 00:08:28,960 If you really pay attention to the transcript, if you do that and read through the transcripts of the 111 00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:36,970 audio and look at how they paraphrase the answer choices, you're going to get much better at this skill. 112 00:08:38,460 --> 00:08:43,860 And then of course you want to practice recognizing when paraphrasing is occurring. 113 00:08:44,550 --> 00:08:50,520 So coming up really soon, I'm going to talk more about practicing when when, when paraphrasing is 114 00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:51,240 occurring. 115 00:08:51,450 --> 00:08:59,230 I'm going to go over an exercise about that and also an exercise about utilizing the transcript to to 116 00:08:59,250 --> 00:09:02,160 see how how paraphrasing is occurring.
