1
00:00:13,160 --> 00:00:14,960
Someone has a question.

2
00:00:15,560 --> 00:00:16,380
How can you write?

3
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:17,140
What's it?

4
00:00:17,710 --> 00:00:18,920
Okay, so.

5
00:00:22,390 --> 00:00:23,710
The Tendra.

6
00:00:25,220 --> 00:00:29,830
You tend to in terms of your question, remember, we're not answering the questions at Kindra.

7
00:00:29,840 --> 00:00:32,780
Your practicing is working on recognizing paraphrasing.

8
00:00:33,140 --> 00:00:41,270
So for example, in the paraphrasing quizzes that I give in lectures 15 to 17, I'll tell you, I'll

9
00:00:41,270 --> 00:00:44,810
say it's okay to stop the audio and write down what they said.

10
00:00:45,810 --> 00:00:47,910
Because you're not answering the questions.

11
00:00:48,480 --> 00:00:51,900
You're just working on on working on writing down the paraphrasing.

12
00:00:52,870 --> 00:00:53,260
Okay.

13
00:00:53,260 --> 00:00:56,280
So you don't have to be writing that fast.

14
00:00:56,290 --> 00:01:03,160
It's okay if you hit one when you're practicing, recognizing when you're practicing the skill of paraphrasing

15
00:01:03,160 --> 00:01:07,420
or practicing the skill of recognizing synonyms like we're doing right now.

16
00:01:07,960 --> 00:01:13,000
And if you are doing that on your own, it would have been okay for you to stop and then write it down.

17
00:01:13,570 --> 00:01:17,800
Now, of course, on the on the real exam, when you're answering questions, you can't stop it.

18
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,350
But we're not working on answering questions right now.

19
00:01:20,350 --> 00:01:25,330
We're working on improving a skill that you need to answer questions.

20
00:01:26,770 --> 00:01:28,030
That's what we're working on right now.

21
00:01:28,030 --> 00:01:34,330
Everybody, please understand that we're working on a skill that you need to get better at so that you

22
00:01:34,330 --> 00:01:37,660
can be able to recognize answer choices more.

23
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:45,240
In terms of can you use helpful?

24
00:01:45,240 --> 00:01:46,200
That's cooperative.

25
00:01:46,230 --> 00:01:47,250
Yeah, I mean, yeah.

26
00:01:47,280 --> 00:01:51,690
MUHAMMAD If you had written down the word helpful that that is something that's similar to the word

27
00:01:51,690 --> 00:01:52,680
cooperative.

28
00:01:52,680 --> 00:02:00,090
And the word helpful would have the word helpful would have led you to the word cooperative when you

29
00:02:00,090 --> 00:02:01,770
were when you were looking for a synonym.

30
00:02:04,150 --> 00:02:07,130
She's long in terms of it taking time.

31
00:02:07,150 --> 00:02:11,110
Keep in mind, this is just working on improving the skill.

32
00:02:12,190 --> 00:02:14,860
Doing well on the exam is about skills.

33
00:02:15,670 --> 00:02:16,330
Right.

34
00:02:17,170 --> 00:02:19,540
For reading, it's about scanning skill.

35
00:02:19,690 --> 00:02:22,870
It's about recognising paraphrasing skill.

36
00:02:23,620 --> 00:02:24,520
For listening.

37
00:02:24,520 --> 00:02:28,690
It's about being able to recognise synonyms and paraphrasing skill.

38
00:02:29,080 --> 00:02:32,440
It's about being able to read and listen simultaneously.

39
00:02:32,470 --> 00:02:33,190
Skill.

40
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,070
So it's a skills test.

41
00:02:36,070 --> 00:02:37,030
That's what it is.

42
00:02:37,030 --> 00:02:38,440
It's a skills test.

43
00:02:38,740 --> 00:02:44,470
And once you understand the skills they're testing for, then you know what skills you need to get better

44
00:02:44,470 --> 00:02:48,100
at doing to do better on the overall test.

45
00:02:48,960 --> 00:02:53,820
A lot of a lot of people don't know what are the skills they're testing me on.

46
00:02:54,450 --> 00:02:57,840
If you don't know the skills they're testing you on, how are you going to get better?

47
00:02:58,410 --> 00:03:01,290
How are you going to be able to work on the skills that you need?

48
00:03:03,150 --> 00:03:09,900
I mean, I've heard of people just taking the test six or seven times and getting the same score.

49
00:03:09,930 --> 00:03:10,980
That's ridiculous.

50
00:03:11,430 --> 00:03:13,350
That means your skills are not getting better.

51
00:03:14,750 --> 00:03:21,980
Just doing the same thing over and over again is not going to is not going to to help you.

52
00:03:26,510 --> 00:03:28,580
See, I don't know what you're talking about.

53
00:03:30,050 --> 00:03:33,230
See, John, this is not something you do on the test.

54
00:03:36,210 --> 00:03:40,170
All right, give everybody give me one moment so I can explain this to Shi Zhong.

55
00:03:40,740 --> 00:03:42,240
You're not doing this.

56
00:03:42,420 --> 00:03:42,600
What?

57
00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:43,050
This.

58
00:03:43,050 --> 00:03:48,510
This skills practice we're doing right now is not something you do during the test.

59
00:03:48,810 --> 00:03:55,980
This is just an exercise to help you improve your ability to recognize, paraphrasing and synonyms.

60
00:03:56,010 --> 00:04:01,140
This is something you do in your practice and your practice.

61
00:04:03,210 --> 00:04:05,340
I'm trying to help you get better at your skill.

62
00:04:15,430 --> 00:04:17,650
All right, so I'm going to do it one more time.

63
00:04:18,580 --> 00:04:19,510
I'm going to do it one more time.

64
00:04:19,510 --> 00:04:20,280
Again.

65
00:04:20,290 --> 00:04:21,940
Skills, practice, everybody.

66
00:04:21,940 --> 00:04:23,230
We're not answering questions.

67
00:04:23,230 --> 00:04:24,760
It's a skills practice.

68
00:04:30,650 --> 00:04:31,280
All right.

69
00:04:31,550 --> 00:04:35,030
So, please, from this point forward, do not ask a question.

70
00:04:36,860 --> 00:04:37,160
Don't.

71
00:04:37,280 --> 00:04:38,340
Don't ask any questions.

72
00:04:38,360 --> 00:04:40,010
I'm about to play the audio.

73
00:04:42,860 --> 00:04:43,520
All right.

74
00:04:44,420 --> 00:04:46,340
So these are.

75
00:04:47,300 --> 00:04:49,580
These are key words you're going to hear.

76
00:04:50,120 --> 00:04:53,870
I mean, these are these are key words that you need to find or listen.

77
00:04:53,870 --> 00:05:04,790
For the paraphrasing of residents, local area potential new students, primarily intended for his novels,

78
00:05:04,790 --> 00:05:06,230
are well known now.

79
00:05:06,920 --> 00:05:10,760
He used his publications to draw attention to social problems.

80
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:16,550
Now I know that you may not you may not be able to write down everything they're saying.

81
00:05:16,940 --> 00:05:20,960
Just just write down some of the paraphrase or write down some of the synonyms.

82
00:05:22,870 --> 00:05:29,020
But the first paraphrasing you're listening for is residents local area.

83
00:05:29,800 --> 00:05:33,790
The next paraphrasing you're listening for is potential new students.

84
00:05:34,510 --> 00:05:36,880
After that, you're listening for the paraphrasing of.

85
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:38,650
Primarily intended for.

86
00:05:39,750 --> 00:05:40,420
Okay.

87
00:05:40,470 --> 00:05:42,420
We're not answering questions.

88
00:05:42,540 --> 00:05:45,630
This is not something that you do during the exam.

89
00:05:45,660 --> 00:05:51,180
This is a skills exercise that you work on in your preparation for the exam.

90
00:05:52,590 --> 00:05:59,760
Because I want you to get better at this skill so that you can get better on the overall test.

91
00:05:59,990 --> 00:06:00,480
Okay.

92
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,630
So I'm going to play the audio now and please hold your questions.

93
00:06:17,300 --> 00:06:18,290
Part three.

94
00:06:19,620 --> 00:06:26,910
You will hear two students of English called Cathy and Graham planning a display on 19th century British

95
00:06:26,910 --> 00:06:30,030
life and literature for a university event.

96
00:06:31,340 --> 00:06:36,080
First you have some time to look at questions 21 to 24.

97
00:06:56,180 --> 00:06:59,180
Now listen carefully and answer questions.

98
00:06:59,180 --> 00:07:01,040
21 to 24.

99
00:07:04,010 --> 00:07:04,400
Okay.

100
00:07:04,400 --> 00:07:05,960
Graham So let's check.

101
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:08,300
We both know what we're supposed to be doing.

102
00:07:08,390 --> 00:07:15,650
Okay, so for the university's open day, we have to plan a display on British life and literature in

103
00:07:15,650 --> 00:07:17,220
the mid 19th century.

104
00:07:17,240 --> 00:07:18,050
That's right.

105
00:07:18,050 --> 00:07:21,830
But we'll have some people to help us find the materials and set it up.

106
00:07:21,830 --> 00:07:22,520
Remember?

107
00:07:22,820 --> 00:07:25,040
For the moment, we just need to plan it.

108
00:07:25,070 --> 00:07:25,790
Good.

109
00:07:26,210 --> 00:07:27,620
So have you gathered?

110
00:07:27,620 --> 00:07:30,140
Who's expected to come and see the display?

111
00:07:30,170 --> 00:07:34,760
Is it for the people studying English or students from other departments?

112
00:07:34,790 --> 00:07:36,170
I'm not clear about it.

113
00:07:36,200 --> 00:07:36,890
No, me.

114
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:41,240
That was how it used to be, but it didn't attract many people.

115
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:47,030
So this year it's going to be part of an open day to raise the university's profile.

116
00:07:47,300 --> 00:07:53,660
It'll be publicised in the city to encourage people to come and find out something of what goes on here.

117
00:07:54,020 --> 00:07:59,690
And it's included in the information that's sent to people who are considering applying to study here

118
00:07:59,690 --> 00:08:00,470
next year.

119
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:04,220
Presumably, some current students and lecturers will come.

120
00:08:04,310 --> 00:08:05,450
I would imagine so.

121
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:09,590
But we've been told to concentrate on the other categories of people.

122
00:08:09,620 --> 00:08:10,550
Right.

123
00:08:10,700 --> 00:08:14,750
We don't have to cover the whole range of 19th century literature, do we?

124
00:08:14,870 --> 00:08:17,000
No, it's entirely up to us.

125
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,640
I suggest just using Charles Dickens.

126
00:08:20,660 --> 00:08:22,040
That's a good idea.

127
00:08:22,310 --> 00:08:28,460
Most people have heard of him and have probably read some of his novels or seen films based on them.

128
00:08:28,700 --> 00:08:32,120
So that's a good lead in to life in his time.

129
00:08:32,150 --> 00:08:32,960
Exactly.

130
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:37,580
And his novels show the awful conditions that most people had to live in, don't they?

131
00:08:37,940 --> 00:08:40,970
He wanted to shock people into doing something about it.

132
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:44,310
Did he do any campaigning other than writing?

133
00:08:44,330 --> 00:08:45,110
Yes.

134
00:08:45,110 --> 00:08:50,360
He campaigned for education and other social reforms and gave talks.

135
00:08:50,780 --> 00:08:54,110
But I'm inclined to ignore that and focus on the novels.

136
00:08:54,140 --> 00:08:55,580
Yes, I agree.

137
00:08:58,710 --> 00:09:01,110
Before you hear the rest of the discussion.

138
00:09:02,610 --> 00:09:03,030
Okay.

139
00:09:03,180 --> 00:09:07,530
So now I'm going to show you the paraphrasing or synonym language.

140
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:14,040
So as you can see here, the reason why I say this is something you do after after you have done a test,

141
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:19,920
after you've done a practice test, because number one is one of the is one of the correct answers.

142
00:09:20,190 --> 00:09:22,110
Number two is one of the correct answers.

143
00:09:22,140 --> 00:09:24,240
Number four is one of the correct answers.

144
00:09:24,270 --> 00:09:26,130
Number five is one of the correct answers.

145
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:29,790
Number three is just some paraphrasing I wanted you to see if you can hear.

146
00:09:30,270 --> 00:09:32,950
But these are the correct answer choices.

147
00:09:32,970 --> 00:09:34,560
One, two, four and five.

148
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:44,340
So what you're doing now is in terms of terms of getting better at the skill of paraphrasing is you're

149
00:09:44,340 --> 00:09:48,380
now going and actually so these aren't even question keywords these are actually answer choices.

150
00:09:48,390 --> 00:09:51,390
I should have this as answer choice is not questioning keywords.

151
00:09:51,780 --> 00:09:57,420
When I say question keywords, I was including all of that and I should have just said question answer

152
00:09:57,420 --> 00:09:58,290
keywords.

153
00:10:01,040 --> 00:10:05,180
But anyway, you're listening for that language.

154
00:10:06,430 --> 00:10:06,790
Right.

155
00:10:06,800 --> 00:10:08,890
So in terms of.

156
00:10:12,070 --> 00:10:17,840
A move is over in terms of residents local area they say publicised and the city to encourage people

157
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:18,530
to come.

158
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:19,800
Right.

159
00:10:19,800 --> 00:10:27,210
When you heard that language that would have told you to pick this as the answer choice people considering

160
00:10:27,210 --> 00:10:29,970
to apply next year when you heard that language.

161
00:10:30,640 --> 00:10:30,900
Right.

162
00:10:30,900 --> 00:10:31,590
That's what I tell you.

163
00:10:31,590 --> 00:10:34,650
It's about hearing the synonym is hearing the language.

164
00:10:35,580 --> 00:10:40,440
And then potential new students concentrate on.

165
00:10:40,560 --> 00:10:45,420
That's the synonym for primarily intended for and I think this might be out of order number three but

166
00:10:45,420 --> 00:10:51,590
primarily intended for and concentrate on his novels are well known now.

167
00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:53,190
Most have heard of him.

168
00:10:53,550 --> 00:10:59,850
He uses publications to draw attention to social problems show awful conditions lived in shot people

169
00:11:00,090 --> 00:11:00,870
so.

170
00:11:01,970 --> 00:11:07,760
Again, this this particular exercise is what you do after after you do a practice test.

171
00:11:07,970 --> 00:11:10,280
This is how you get better at your paraphrasing.

172
00:11:10,280 --> 00:11:12,620
This is how you get better at that skill.

173
00:11:13,740 --> 00:11:20,160
And this is something that you can do on your own if you're really serious about trying to get better

174
00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:28,050
at the listening section and getting better at your accuracy of answering questions in Section three

175
00:11:28,050 --> 00:11:29,190
or Section four.

176
00:11:29,610 --> 00:11:31,380
This is the skill you work on.

177
00:11:33,960 --> 00:11:39,390
Now, another thing to do in terms of getting better at your paraphrasing and getting better at the

178
00:11:39,390 --> 00:11:46,770
synonyms is to work on using the transcript in the back of the Cambridge books.

179
00:11:47,100 --> 00:11:50,370
They have the transcript of all of the audio.

180
00:11:51,900 --> 00:11:54,510
A lot of students waste this tool.

181
00:11:54,510 --> 00:12:01,200
This is a fantastic tool to get better at improving your score.

182
00:12:01,980 --> 00:12:10,320
So here, what we're doing here is, again, if you have a piece of paper, take out a sheet of paper

183
00:12:10,560 --> 00:12:13,020
and you want to create a two sided table.

184
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:18,590
And on one side you have question, answer keywords.

185
00:12:18,590 --> 00:12:20,220
That's what I should have rolled on the other screen.

186
00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:20,960
Other screen.

187
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:22,560
Question answer keywords.

188
00:12:23,150 --> 00:12:23,840
You have question.

189
00:12:23,840 --> 00:12:24,770
Answer keywords.

190
00:12:24,770 --> 00:12:29,870
On the left side, you have audio, similar words.

191
00:12:29,870 --> 00:12:35,060
Again, these are audio transcript words, audio wars in the transcript because we're looking at the

192
00:12:35,060 --> 00:12:38,270
transcript now we're looking at the transcript.

193
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:45,700
And so you would look at the question, identify the keywords in the question.

194
00:12:46,550 --> 00:12:55,130
And then go ahead and look at the transcript and try to find the synonyms or the paraphrasing of those

195
00:12:55,130 --> 00:12:58,010
question answer keywords they have in the transcript.

196
00:12:59,110 --> 00:13:06,880
Again, this is another way where you get your brain and get your mind used to recognizing, paraphrasing

197
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:07,870
and synonyms.

198
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:17,880
So if you want to do this exercise with me on a piece of paper you put, you know, you're going to

199
00:13:17,880 --> 00:13:24,960
put down question answer keywords on the left side and you're going to put the synonyms or paraphrasing

200
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:26,400
that you see in the transcript.

201
00:13:30,090 --> 00:13:41,220
So for example, for example, in question 11, I know one of the key words is originally I know one

202
00:13:41,220 --> 00:13:43,830
of the key words for question 11 is originally.

203
00:13:44,130 --> 00:13:50,340
So on the left side of your paper, you will write the word originally and then look in the transcript,

204
00:13:51,090 --> 00:13:52,320
look in the transcript.

205
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:56,460
And question number 11 starts right, right here where you see the underlying words.

206
00:13:56,460 --> 00:13:58,110
That's where question 11 starts from.

207
00:13:59,430 --> 00:14:00,240
And what you're looking at.

208
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,190
Here is the transcript from the back of the book.

209
00:14:03,270 --> 00:14:04,890
Question 11 starts right here.

210
00:14:04,920 --> 00:14:06,570
QUESTION Well, starts over here.

211
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:08,220
QUESTION 13 down here.

212
00:14:08,690 --> 00:14:09,000
Right.

213
00:14:09,030 --> 00:14:10,770
But fine, fine.

214
00:14:10,770 --> 00:14:13,110
The original fine.

215
00:14:13,110 --> 00:14:15,240
To paraphrase the synonym of the word originally.

216
00:14:16,330 --> 00:14:16,500
Okay.

217
00:14:16,710 --> 00:14:22,860
So look at each question, identify keywords and then look in the transcript and see if you can find

218
00:14:22,860 --> 00:14:27,570
synonyms of those keywords or find paraphrasing of those keywords.

219
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:28,590
All right.

220
00:14:28,590 --> 00:14:32,460
So just just take a couple of minutes and see if you can do that.

221
00:14:32,490 --> 00:14:35,220
I have a question and really quickly, I'll answer the question.

222
00:14:39,420 --> 00:14:39,840
Yeah.

223
00:14:39,870 --> 00:14:43,050
Michelle, don't, don't don't write any.

224
00:14:43,170 --> 00:14:45,030
That's one of the rules I said in the very beginning.

225
00:14:45,060 --> 00:14:47,910
Do not write any answers in the chat box.

226
00:14:50,710 --> 00:14:50,910
Okay.

227
00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:56,470
Because what you did right there is you you ruined everybody else's opportunity to do it on their own.

228
00:14:57,690 --> 00:15:02,070
If you write answers in the chat box, you mess up the opportunity of other people.

229
00:15:02,070 --> 00:15:03,210
So please don't do that.

230
00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:08,330
All right.

231
00:15:08,330 --> 00:15:14,870
So take a couple of minutes and see if you can find out how many how much paraphrasing you can find.

232
00:15:47,740 --> 00:15:52,810
You're looking at the questions and even sometimes you might be looking at the answer choices and what

233
00:15:52,810 --> 00:15:54,310
you're looking for from the questions.

234
00:15:54,310 --> 00:16:00,100
And the answer choices is you're looking over here and trying to find as much synonym language, as

235
00:16:00,100 --> 00:16:02,200
much paraphrasing language as you can.

236
00:16:03,140 --> 00:16:05,090
Because this is what it's all about.

237
00:17:28,430 --> 00:17:28,580
Right.

238
00:17:28,640 --> 00:17:36,800
You should be able to find language related to mainly used language related to began.

239
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:39,410
You should be able to find that kind of language.

240
00:17:40,140 --> 00:17:41,640
Or a paraphrasing of.

241
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:47,100
So just look and try to find as much paraphrasing and synonyms as you as you can.

242
00:17:47,820 --> 00:17:54,000
Take 30 more seconds and then I want to show you I'm going to show you some of the paraphrasing and

243
00:17:54,000 --> 00:17:55,230
synonyms that I found.

244
00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:44,490
Okay.

245
00:18:52,820 --> 00:18:54,140
So for example.

246
00:18:54,440 --> 00:19:01,730
Originally established origin of the park belonging to started in local community.

247
00:19:01,730 --> 00:19:09,050
People living nearby lead a campaign organize petitions and demonstrations mainly used.

248
00:19:09,170 --> 00:19:20,060
Most of the park is dug up for growing planted with got going began again what I was doing just explain

249
00:19:20,060 --> 00:19:21,740
the exercise to everybody.

250
00:19:22,040 --> 00:19:29,630
What I was doing was trying to see how many how much from the questions and the answer some of the answer

251
00:19:29,630 --> 00:19:30,440
choices.

252
00:19:30,980 --> 00:19:35,900
How much I mean, how much of the paraphrasing or synonyms that I can find.

253
00:19:36,830 --> 00:19:37,640
Again.

254
00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:40,910
I'm trying to help you with getting better at this skill.

255
00:19:41,930 --> 00:19:43,520
Getting better at this skill.

256
00:19:45,400 --> 00:19:46,680
Somebody has a question.

257
00:19:46,860 --> 00:19:47,230
See?

258
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:49,830
No.

259
00:19:49,910 --> 00:19:51,260
Somebody doesn't have a question.

260
00:19:51,860 --> 00:19:52,370
Okay.

261
00:19:52,820 --> 00:19:53,270
All right.

262
00:19:53,270 --> 00:20:02,390
So again, those are two skills you could work on on your own to get better at paraphrasing and better

263
00:20:02,390 --> 00:20:03,320
at synonyms.

264
00:20:03,350 --> 00:20:04,400
Let's go ahead and move on.
