1
00:00:00,140 --> 00:00:01,590
To the second practice.

2
00:00:02,040 --> 00:00:07,140
Again, with the second practice, I'm going through this one step by step in terms of a step by step

3
00:00:07,140 --> 00:00:12,540
walkthrough and then after practice number two, practice number three, I'm not going to hold your

4
00:00:12,540 --> 00:00:13,740
hand and walk you through it.

5
00:00:17,470 --> 00:00:25,090
So first, in terms of highlighting the question in key words, look at questions 11 through 16, look

6
00:00:25,090 --> 00:00:29,020
at questions 11 through 16 and mentally mint.

7
00:00:29,020 --> 00:00:34,810
You can do this mentally, mentally highlight the question, keywords.

8
00:01:21,500 --> 00:01:21,830
All right.

9
00:01:21,830 --> 00:01:30,500
So the question keywords that I have first take place how often closed who is responsible for the closing

10
00:01:30,500 --> 00:01:37,580
residents to use cars, which is most needed reaction of residents who are not parents.

11
00:01:37,880 --> 00:01:40,340
So those are the keywords that.

12
00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:42,560
I identified.

13
00:01:42,950 --> 00:01:48,380
And those will be the key words that I'm listening for, to make sure that I can recognize the answer

14
00:01:48,380 --> 00:01:49,160
choices.

15
00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:52,810
All right.

16
00:01:52,890 --> 00:01:55,560
Now we're going to listen and answer the questions.

17
00:01:56,130 --> 00:02:03,030
Please do not ask a question right now in the chat box because it is a distraction to people while they're

18
00:02:03,030 --> 00:02:03,750
listening.

19
00:02:04,290 --> 00:02:09,240
So if you have a problem, please wait until the audio is finished.

20
00:02:09,240 --> 00:02:10,530
Please wait.

21
00:02:13,930 --> 00:02:14,230
Okay.

22
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:17,380
So now I'm going to go ahead and play the audio.

23
00:02:17,470 --> 00:02:22,030
And you can see this is from section two, right, 11 through 16.

24
00:02:22,030 --> 00:02:28,720
So the questions are shorter, the answer choices are shorter, but it's the same strategy in the same

25
00:02:28,720 --> 00:02:29,650
process.

26
00:02:34,190 --> 00:02:35,210
Part two.

27
00:02:36,590 --> 00:02:43,160
You will hear a woman called Alice Richards talking on the radio about a scheme which involves closing

28
00:02:43,160 --> 00:02:46,370
streets to traffic to allow children to play.

29
00:02:47,820 --> 00:02:50,820
First you have some time to look at questions.

30
00:02:50,820 --> 00:02:52,470
11 to 16.

31
00:03:37,580 --> 00:03:40,550
Now listen carefully and answer questions.

32
00:03:40,550 --> 00:03:42,290
11 to 16.

33
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:52,370
My guest on the show today is Alex Riches, who started the Street Play Scheme where she lives in Beechwood

34
00:03:52,370 --> 00:03:53,030
Road.

35
00:03:53,270 --> 00:03:59,300
For those of you that don't already know, street play involves local residents closing off their street

36
00:03:59,300 --> 00:04:03,770
for a few hours so that children have a chance to play in the streets safely.

37
00:04:03,950 --> 00:04:10,880
She started it in her own street, Beechwood Road, and the idea caught on, and there are now street

38
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:12,740
play schemes all over the city.

39
00:04:12,770 --> 00:04:15,980
So when did you actually start the scheme, Alice?

40
00:04:16,340 --> 00:04:23,300
Well, I first had the idea when my oldest child was still a toddler, so that's about six years ago

41
00:04:23,300 --> 00:04:23,870
now.

42
00:04:23,900 --> 00:04:28,550
But it took at least two years of campaigning before we were actually able to make it happen.

43
00:04:28,910 --> 00:04:32,000
So the scheme's been up and running for three years now.

44
00:04:32,030 --> 00:04:37,490
We'd love to be able to close our road for longer, for the whole weekend, from Saturday morning until

45
00:04:37,490 --> 00:04:39,320
Sunday evening, for example.

46
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:45,020
At the moment it's just once a week, but when we started it was only once a month.

47
00:04:45,020 --> 00:04:46,550
But we're working on it.

48
00:04:46,580 --> 00:04:50,080
So what actually happens when Beechwood Road is closed?

49
00:04:50,090 --> 00:04:57,320
We have volunteer wardens, mostly parents, but some elderly residents too, who block off our road

50
00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:58,400
at either end.

51
00:04:58,910 --> 00:05:05,300
The council have provided special signs, but there's always a volunteer there to explain what's happening

52
00:05:05,300 --> 00:05:06,860
to any motorists.

53
00:05:07,280 --> 00:05:09,450
Generally, they're fine about it.

54
00:05:09,470 --> 00:05:13,160
We've only had to get the police involved once or twice.

55
00:05:13,550 --> 00:05:21,200
Now I should explain that the road isn't completely closed to cars, but only residents cars are allowed.

56
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:28,280
If people really need to get in or out of Beechwood Road, it's not a problem as long as they drive

57
00:05:28,280 --> 00:05:31,040
at under 20 kilometres per hour.

58
00:05:31,550 --> 00:05:37,820
But most people just decide not to use their cars during this time or they park in another street.

59
00:05:38,180 --> 00:05:41,690
The wardens are only there to stop through traffic.

60
00:05:41,870 --> 00:05:45,320
So can anyone apply to get involved in street play?

61
00:05:45,350 --> 00:05:46,740
Absolutely.

62
00:05:46,760 --> 00:05:52,850
We want to include all kids in the city, especially those who live on busy roads.

63
00:05:53,030 --> 00:05:55,640
It's here that demand is greatest.

64
00:05:56,570 --> 00:06:02,900
Obviously, there isn't such demand in wealthier areas where the children have access to parks or large

65
00:06:02,900 --> 00:06:08,810
gardens, or in the suburbs where there are usually more places for children to play outside.

66
00:06:09,780 --> 00:06:14,880
I'd recommend that anyone listening who likes the idea should just give it a go.

67
00:06:15,210 --> 00:06:21,930
We've been surprised by the positive reaction of residents all over the city, and that's not just parents.

68
00:06:22,140 --> 00:06:26,640
There are always a few who complain, but there are tiny minority.

69
00:06:27,540 --> 00:06:33,690
On the whole, everyone is very supportive and say they're very happy to see children out on the street,

70
00:06:33,990 --> 00:06:36,180
even if it does get quite noisy.

71
00:06:39,280 --> 00:06:40,760
Before you hear the rest of.

72
00:06:44,930 --> 00:06:45,230
All right.

73
00:06:45,230 --> 00:06:46,250
Here is the question.

74
00:06:46,250 --> 00:06:48,380
Keyword and audio match before our show.

75
00:06:48,380 --> 00:06:55,040
The answers like for this one, when they say when did the street scheme first take place?

76
00:06:55,460 --> 00:06:57,290
The schemes have been up and running.

77
00:06:57,860 --> 00:07:01,220
Right up and running is the paraphrasing of first take place.

78
00:07:01,520 --> 00:07:04,730
So if you recognize that, you would have heard the answer directly.

79
00:07:06,470 --> 00:07:14,900
How often is is it closed when they said able to close the road at the moment.

80
00:07:15,500 --> 00:07:15,650
Right.

81
00:07:15,740 --> 00:07:17,420
When they say it at the moment.

82
00:07:18,740 --> 00:07:19,850
You should have heard the word.

83
00:07:19,850 --> 00:07:22,430
That's the that's the synonym for the word now.

84
00:07:22,850 --> 00:07:25,400
And right after that, you would have heard the answer choice.

85
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:28,670
Who's responsible for closing.

86
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:33,140
When you heard the language block off, that's the meaning of cloves.

87
00:07:33,140 --> 00:07:41,090
Right before that, they said the answer choice for teen residents who want to use their cars when they

88
00:07:41,090 --> 00:07:45,710
say it, that should be the word get when they talked about getting in and getting in and out.

89
00:07:46,100 --> 00:07:49,970
That was the paraphrasing of to use, getting in and out.

90
00:07:50,150 --> 00:07:52,880
And right after that, they said the answer choice.

91
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,880
We want to include, especially those who.

92
00:07:57,910 --> 00:07:59,200
That's the paraphrasing.

93
00:07:59,200 --> 00:08:01,210
That means the same as most needed.

94
00:08:02,410 --> 00:08:06,190
And then for number 16, that's the language.

95
00:08:06,430 --> 00:08:10,180
So I'm trying to really I'm doing this.

96
00:08:10,180 --> 00:08:16,000
And the reason why I'm showing you this is because if you're serious about practicing getting better,

97
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:20,410
you should be doing this on your own, answering the questions, of course.

98
00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:28,420
But go back and look at what paraphrasing that they used to lead to the question, because the better

99
00:08:28,420 --> 00:08:31,720
you get it hearing that, then you're going to hear the answer choice every single time.

100
00:08:33,670 --> 00:08:36,070
So here are the answers with the explanation.

101
00:08:37,150 --> 00:08:42,400
Number 11, the answer is B, they said the scheme has been up and running.

102
00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:45,130
That's a synonym for first answers three years.

103
00:08:46,580 --> 00:08:47,690
They is wrong.

104
00:08:47,720 --> 00:08:54,590
They talked about a two year campaign before making it happen and six years ago was connected with children.

105
00:08:54,590 --> 00:08:56,690
Not the program at all.

106
00:08:58,350 --> 00:08:59,970
Number 12 is a.

107
00:09:01,020 --> 00:09:05,430
Right after they say it at the moment, which means the same as now, they said once a week.

108
00:09:07,620 --> 00:09:08,730
For Saturday and Sunday.

109
00:09:08,730 --> 00:09:10,110
They said, We love to.

110
00:09:10,350 --> 00:09:14,060
Which means they're not doing it once a month.

111
00:09:14,070 --> 00:09:16,680
They said when we started, which means not now.

112
00:09:16,710 --> 00:09:18,600
When they started, they did it once a month.

113
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:22,890
But they said when they when they started, that does not mean at the moment.

114
00:09:23,340 --> 00:09:24,900
That does not mean now.

115
00:09:25,470 --> 00:09:26,280
So.

116
00:09:27,790 --> 00:09:33,820
The reasons why why people don't get answers right is because they don't pick up on synonyms and paraphrase.

117
00:09:37,530 --> 00:09:38,430
13.

118
00:09:39,920 --> 00:09:43,790
Local wardens, they said, who block off or close the road.

119
00:09:43,970 --> 00:09:47,330
So that was the paraphrasing of the question.

120
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:51,890
And this is one of those this is one of the instances where the answer was said before the question

121
00:09:51,890 --> 00:09:52,610
language.

122
00:09:53,430 --> 00:09:57,480
So this is where this is an example of them changing up the word order.

123
00:09:58,350 --> 00:10:00,420
Changing up the word order from the question.

124
00:10:01,160 --> 00:10:01,360
Okay.

125
00:10:01,610 --> 00:10:05,220
And that's why I said I didn't say always.

126
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:06,680
I said most of the time.

127
00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:08,920
Answers.

128
00:10:08,920 --> 00:10:09,760
Follow.

129
00:10:10,390 --> 00:10:10,900
Question.

130
00:10:10,900 --> 00:10:11,620
Language.

131
00:10:11,860 --> 00:10:12,850
But here.

132
00:10:14,790 --> 00:10:19,410
They changed up the sentence structure between what's said and the question and what's said in the passage.

133
00:10:26,410 --> 00:10:30,300
For Jane residents who want to use their cars again.

134
00:10:30,300 --> 00:10:32,640
Residents cars are allowed to get in and out.

135
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:33,960
That means use.

136
00:10:34,350 --> 00:10:39,540
So if you didn't recognize a get in and out means use, you might have picked the wrong answer choice.

137
00:10:40,050 --> 00:10:44,970
It says if you drive under 20 kilometres again, you have to pick a paraphrase.

138
00:10:45,450 --> 00:10:51,660
The paraphrase you're supposed to pick is must drive very slowly, which is under 20 kilometres.

139
00:10:53,920 --> 00:10:54,220
Right.

140
00:10:54,230 --> 00:10:56,380
So A is wrong for this reason.

141
00:10:56,410 --> 00:10:58,090
C is wrong for this reason.

142
00:11:01,280 --> 00:11:02,840
Number 15.

143
00:11:04,010 --> 00:11:07,040
Alice says the street play schemes are most needed.

144
00:11:07,250 --> 00:11:13,550
We want to include, especially those who live on busy roads, heavy traffic, busy roads, heavy traffic.

145
00:11:14,690 --> 00:11:21,590
So when it's that busy road that's the synonym or paraphrasing of heavy traffic, C is the answer choice

146
00:11:22,220 --> 00:11:25,220
when they say we want to include especially those who.

147
00:11:25,500 --> 00:11:29,120
That's that was the paraphrasing of what's most needed.

148
00:11:30,300 --> 00:11:30,890
For choice.

149
00:11:30,900 --> 00:11:35,430
A They said it isn't demanded in wealthier areas or in the suburbs.

150
00:11:35,430 --> 00:11:37,800
So it can't be a it can't be be.

151
00:11:39,170 --> 00:11:44,840
Again, don't pick an answer because you heard the word wealthier and wealthy.

152
00:11:44,870 --> 00:11:48,410
Do not pick answers because you hear the same words.

153
00:11:48,770 --> 00:11:49,460
Suburb.

154
00:11:49,460 --> 00:11:50,300
Suburb.

155
00:11:50,330 --> 00:11:53,780
Don't pick answers just because you hear the same words.

156
00:11:55,340 --> 00:11:56,900
That can't be the reason.

157
00:12:00,390 --> 00:12:01,440
16.

158
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,680
It can't be correct because they said a few complain.

159
00:12:05,680 --> 00:12:06,760
That's not many.

160
00:12:09,840 --> 00:12:12,180
This says they like seeing children play in the street.

161
00:12:12,180 --> 00:12:13,800
That's the correct answer choice.

162
00:12:14,190 --> 00:12:16,290
On the whole, everybody is happy.

163
00:12:16,680 --> 00:12:19,140
They like to see children on the street.

164
00:12:19,290 --> 00:12:21,660
Number 30, number 16 was very straightforward.

165
00:12:23,290 --> 00:12:23,560
All right.

166
00:12:23,560 --> 00:12:31,960
So I'm hoping that you're having an opportunity to to really see the way that questions and answers

167
00:12:31,960 --> 00:12:32,530
work.

168
00:12:33,310 --> 00:12:41,920
Here are all the correct answers on one on one page B, a, c BCB in terms of the correct answer choices.

169
00:12:45,410 --> 00:12:45,670
All right.

170
00:12:45,700 --> 00:12:49,930
Now, in practice three, I'm not going to hold your hand.

171
00:12:49,930 --> 00:12:53,710
I'm going to go through it like like like the real practice you would do in the book.

172
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:59,170
And so I'm not going to be going through it step by step by step by step.

173
00:12:59,590 --> 00:13:04,930
The reason why I did that is I wanted to give you an opportunity to be able to understand the process

174
00:13:04,930 --> 00:13:10,300
and understand how to recognize right and wrong answer choices and what you should be focused on.

175
00:13:11,290 --> 00:13:13,340
I have a question in the box before.

176
00:13:15,470 --> 00:13:16,940
Can I explain the 12th answer?

177
00:13:16,970 --> 00:13:23,720
Sure, I'll explain the 12th answer for for those of you that just let me say something else very,

178
00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:24,590
very quickly.

179
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:34,640
When you when you if you are late to an online class or you're late to an in-person class, you cannot

180
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:38,620
come in and ask me questions that I addressed in the very beginning.

181
00:13:38,630 --> 00:13:39,650
You're late.

182
00:13:40,130 --> 00:13:47,300
If you're late, you just sit back, participate how you can participate and save any questions you

183
00:13:47,300 --> 00:13:48,530
have until later.

184
00:13:49,370 --> 00:13:54,530
You wouldn't walk into an in-person class while I'm teaching in university and start asking me some

185
00:13:54,530 --> 00:13:56,480
basic stuff in the middle of a lecture.

186
00:13:57,470 --> 00:13:57,640
Right.

187
00:13:57,730 --> 00:14:00,580
So please, please hold those questions.

188
00:14:01,270 --> 00:14:01,840
Right.

189
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:05,480
If you have questions about recording and can I see this later?

190
00:14:05,500 --> 00:14:07,510
Ask me at the end of class.

191
00:14:07,510 --> 00:14:09,790
I'll be more than happy to address it then.

192
00:14:10,330 --> 00:14:10,540
All right.

193
00:14:10,540 --> 00:14:11,380
Number 12.

194
00:14:19,150 --> 00:14:19,480
All right.

195
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:22,810
So on number 12, what's the key?

196
00:14:22,810 --> 00:14:24,040
The key word is what?

197
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:29,320
How often is beach road closed to traffic so close?

198
00:14:29,320 --> 00:14:29,820
And what's that?

199
00:14:29,830 --> 00:14:32,620
The word you need to focus on is what now?

200
00:14:34,190 --> 00:14:41,990
Right now, whenever you have a time restricted word, whenever you have a time restricted word, like

201
00:14:41,990 --> 00:14:45,140
now, that word is really important.

202
00:14:46,380 --> 00:14:47,040
Okay.

203
00:14:47,700 --> 00:14:52,590
Because when they said we'd love to do something, that doesn't mean you're doing it now.

204
00:14:52,710 --> 00:14:58,620
So when they talked about Saturday and Sunday, if you're focused on, you have to be focused on.

205
00:14:58,740 --> 00:15:00,870
I'm listening for a paraphrase of now.

206
00:15:00,990 --> 00:15:02,970
I'm listening for a paraphrase of now.

207
00:15:02,970 --> 00:15:06,210
When I hear a paraphrase of now, I hear the answer choice.

208
00:15:06,210 --> 00:15:07,680
Do not get distracted.

209
00:15:08,130 --> 00:15:11,310
We love to is not a paraphrase of now.

210
00:15:11,310 --> 00:15:17,070
So it can't be Saturday and Sunday when we started does not mean now.

211
00:15:17,070 --> 00:15:23,850
So it can't be once a month at the moment is is a direct paraphrase of now.

212
00:15:24,090 --> 00:15:26,040
So the answer is once a week.

213
00:15:27,030 --> 00:15:27,210
Okay.

214
00:15:27,450 --> 00:15:29,640
So I hope you understand 12 a little bit better now.

215
00:15:45,390 --> 00:15:51,150
Mr. Trivedi asked me your question at the end of class, please.

216
00:15:52,290 --> 00:15:54,570
Ask me that question at the end of class, please.
