1
00:00:00,890 --> 00:00:02,780
All right, now another way.

2
00:00:04,630 --> 00:00:13,060
To recognize, paraphrasing and synonyms is by creating a table, creating a two sided table.

3
00:00:13,300 --> 00:00:17,920
And on one side of the table, you would put the keywords from the questions.

4
00:00:18,490 --> 00:00:22,000
And then on the right side of the table, you'll play the audio.

5
00:00:22,030 --> 00:00:23,590
You play the audio track.

6
00:00:25,260 --> 00:00:28,110
And then when you're doing, you're listening to the audio track.

7
00:00:28,890 --> 00:00:33,540
You're trying to listen for the paraphrasing or synonyms of those key words.

8
00:00:33,900 --> 00:00:37,200
You're not really you're not listening for answer choices right now.

9
00:00:37,710 --> 00:00:46,050
What you're doing is you're trying to get better at the skill of recognizing synonyms and paraphrasing.

10
00:00:46,230 --> 00:00:51,510
The more the better you get at that skill, the more answers you're going to get correct.

11
00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:57,120
And so I'm going to kind of show you how that works or happens right now.

12
00:00:58,910 --> 00:01:01,160
And before I do, I have a couple of questions.

13
00:01:05,630 --> 00:01:10,040
I make spelling mistakes was the key to resolve this issue.

14
00:01:11,260 --> 00:01:19,150
Well, the key to getting better at spelling is, you know, you have to really, of course, keep a

15
00:01:19,150 --> 00:01:21,020
list of the words that you spell wrong.

16
00:01:21,040 --> 00:01:22,090
That's number one.

17
00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:28,030
I mean, you should be keeping a journal of the words you spell wrong and learn to spell those words.

18
00:01:29,410 --> 00:01:35,770
You know, reviewing vocabulary, writing words over and over again helps you to learn spelling mistakes

19
00:01:35,770 --> 00:01:37,450
or get better with spelling mistakes.

20
00:01:40,190 --> 00:01:46,160
Like I've said before, all of the vocabulary that I put in Section 25 of the course is the vocabulary

21
00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:47,360
that I think you should know.

22
00:01:48,380 --> 00:01:48,650
All right.

23
00:01:48,650 --> 00:01:49,970
So let's move on to this.

24
00:01:53,830 --> 00:01:55,090
So here.

25
00:01:56,620 --> 00:02:01,450
On the left side, I pulled out these these question keywords.

26
00:02:02,460 --> 00:02:02,770
Right.

27
00:02:02,850 --> 00:02:04,380
These are not answer choices.

28
00:02:04,380 --> 00:02:11,850
These are key words from questions used to measure improvements in greatly change lives types.

29
00:02:11,850 --> 00:02:19,800
The leading moved into towns greater, aware, better or bigger and with the word persuasive.

30
00:02:20,100 --> 00:02:24,810
We're listening for a word form change of the word persuasive.

31
00:02:24,810 --> 00:02:29,340
So what we're going to do is you should take out a piece of paper.

32
00:02:30,150 --> 00:02:32,940
You should have paper and pencil write.

33
00:02:32,970 --> 00:02:35,970
I mean, you should have that automatically because you're taking the class.

34
00:02:35,970 --> 00:02:41,910
So, I mean, I would hope that you already have paper and pencil in front of you, but you should have

35
00:02:41,910 --> 00:02:43,590
paper and pencil in front of you.

36
00:02:43,920 --> 00:02:49,200
And what we're doing here is I'm going to play the audio.

37
00:02:50,220 --> 00:02:58,230
And when I play the audio, all you're trying to do is write down the synonym or paraphrasing that you

38
00:02:58,260 --> 00:02:58,980
hear.

39
00:02:58,980 --> 00:03:01,470
That means the same as used to measure.

40
00:03:02,410 --> 00:03:06,700
Then you want to write down the synonym or paraphrasing that you hear.

41
00:03:06,910 --> 00:03:09,610
That means the same as improvements in.

42
00:03:10,850 --> 00:03:17,090
Write down the synonym or paraphrasing the means the same as types or the paraphrasing of the leading

43
00:03:17,390 --> 00:03:20,190
or paraphrasing a moved into towns.

44
00:03:20,210 --> 00:03:21,980
Paraphrasing of greater.

45
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:23,600
Paraphrasing of aware.

46
00:03:23,630 --> 00:03:25,070
Paraphrasing of better.

47
00:03:25,070 --> 00:03:26,870
Paraphrasing of we're bigger.

48
00:03:27,050 --> 00:03:34,160
So what you're doing, everybody, is you're writing down the synonyms and paraphrasing that you hear

49
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:35,390
for this language.

50
00:03:35,900 --> 00:03:37,880
We're not answering questions.

51
00:03:37,880 --> 00:03:41,750
We're trying to get better at recognizing synonyms and paraphrasing.

52
00:03:57,390 --> 00:03:57,720
All right.

53
00:03:57,720 --> 00:04:04,680
So, everybody, if you have a question, if you have questions, some of these questions you're asking

54
00:04:04,680 --> 00:04:06,720
me about, how can I get better at pronunciation?

55
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:11,280
How can I get better invoke ask me those questions in the course.

56
00:04:12,340 --> 00:04:13,840
I ask those questions in the course?

57
00:04:13,870 --> 00:04:20,170
Not not right now, because right now all we're focusing on are answering fill the blank questions.

58
00:04:20,620 --> 00:04:22,720
That's all we're focusing on right now.

59
00:04:23,500 --> 00:04:29,530
If I stop and give every explanation for these things, we're not going to finish.

60
00:04:30,280 --> 00:04:30,700
Right.

61
00:04:30,700 --> 00:04:37,000
So if you have those kind of questions about vocabulary or pronunciation is very, very simple.

62
00:04:37,810 --> 00:04:39,490
Type of question in the course.

63
00:04:39,490 --> 00:04:45,970
Ask me the question in the course, in the Udemy course, and I'll be happy to answer that question

64
00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:48,970
for the final time.

65
00:04:48,970 --> 00:04:52,150
If, if the recording goes well, I will upload it in the course.

66
00:04:52,150 --> 00:04:53,890
You cannot have a recording.

67
00:04:54,130 --> 00:04:56,110
It will be uploaded in the course.

68
00:04:57,260 --> 00:04:57,620
All right.

69
00:04:57,620 --> 00:05:01,790
So hopefully now everybody has paper and pencil.

70
00:05:05,100 --> 00:05:05,580
Right?

71
00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:06,330
Yes.

72
00:05:06,570 --> 00:05:07,320
Now that question.

73
00:05:07,320 --> 00:05:07,720
Thank you.

74
00:05:07,740 --> 00:05:09,720
Somebody just asked me a good question.

75
00:05:10,020 --> 00:05:13,950
Thank you very much for asking me a question about the topic.

76
00:05:14,550 --> 00:05:21,360
Right, Anoop, the synonyms within the audio will go in the order of one through one through 11.

77
00:05:21,900 --> 00:05:24,030
So, yes, Anoop, it will go in order.

78
00:05:24,420 --> 00:05:31,440
So first first when I play the audio, Anoop, you will hear the synonym or paraphrasing for use to

79
00:05:31,440 --> 00:05:32,130
measure.

80
00:05:33,090 --> 00:05:39,240
Then after that you will hear the synonym or paraphrasing for improvements in.

81
00:05:39,750 --> 00:05:42,780
So yes, Anoop, it goes in order.

82
00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:50,780
So all you need to do is is just listen and write down the synonym or paraphrasing that you need.

83
00:05:50,790 --> 00:05:52,950
And yes, it does go in order.

84
00:05:53,960 --> 00:06:00,020
So I'm going to play the audio right now and then I'm going to go over the possible answer choices.

85
00:06:32,210 --> 00:06:36,860
Just so you know, my volume is turned up as loud as it can go.

86
00:06:37,220 --> 00:06:39,800
I cannot turn my volume up any louder.

87
00:06:40,340 --> 00:06:46,400
If you notice in the announcement I made, I said, the best thing for you to do when you're in a listening

88
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:48,740
class is have on headphones.

89
00:06:49,340 --> 00:06:52,630
If you have on headphones, you will hear very, very well.

90
00:06:52,640 --> 00:06:56,660
If you don't have headphones on, you're probably going to have you're going to have a problem most

91
00:06:56,660 --> 00:06:57,320
likely.

92
00:06:57,890 --> 00:07:04,670
Also, sometimes I don't understand that the audio or the quality of the audio audio can be affected

93
00:07:04,670 --> 00:07:09,800
by the the strength of your Internet connection.

94
00:07:10,250 --> 00:07:10,670
All right.

95
00:07:10,670 --> 00:07:14,090
So here we go, right down the the paraphrasing that you hear.

96
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:17,480
Part four.

97
00:07:31,230 --> 00:07:38,040
You will hear a history student giving part of a presentation about changes in British society in the

98
00:07:38,040 --> 00:07:39,300
19th century.

99
00:07:40,570 --> 00:07:43,900
First you have some time to look at questions.

100
00:07:43,900 --> 00:07:45,640
31 to 40.

101
00:07:57,370 --> 00:08:04,030
So right now you should be just looking at these question keywords to get them in your head so that

102
00:08:04,030 --> 00:08:07,090
you'll be able to listen for the paraphrasing when it happens.

103
00:08:08,020 --> 00:08:10,210
Again, we're not answering questions right now.

104
00:08:10,240 --> 00:08:14,860
We're listening for paraphrasing of keywords because that leads to the answers.

105
00:08:35,660 --> 00:08:38,690
Now listen carefully and answer questions.

106
00:08:38,690 --> 00:08:40,400
31 to 40.

107
00:08:43,480 --> 00:08:44,650
Hi, everyone.

108
00:08:44,950 --> 00:08:51,190
In this session I'll be presenting my research about the social history of Britain during the Industrial

109
00:08:51,190 --> 00:08:52,180
Revolution.

110
00:08:52,980 --> 00:08:58,650
I particularly looked at how ordinary lives were affected by changes that happened at that time.

111
00:08:59,470 --> 00:09:06,610
This was a time that saw the beginning of a new phenomenon consumerism, where buying and selling goods

112
00:09:06,610 --> 00:09:09,790
became a major part of ordinary people's lives.

113
00:09:10,610 --> 00:09:17,330
In fact, it was in the 19th century that the quantity and quality of people's possessions was used

114
00:09:17,330 --> 00:09:19,970
as an indication of the wealth of the country.

115
00:09:20,820 --> 00:09:25,110
Before this, the vast majority of people had very few possessions.

116
00:09:25,290 --> 00:09:28,890
But all that was changed by the Industrial Revolution.

117
00:09:29,820 --> 00:09:36,390
This was the era from the mid 18th to the late 19th century when improvements in how goods were made

118
00:09:36,390 --> 00:09:42,990
as well as in technology, triggered massive social changes that transformed life for just about everybody

119
00:09:42,990 --> 00:09:44,880
in several key areas.

120
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,690
First, let's look at manufacturing.

121
00:09:49,260 --> 00:09:56,280
When it comes to manufacturing, we tend to think of the industrial revolution in images of steam engines

122
00:09:56,280 --> 00:09:57,270
and coal.

123
00:09:57,750 --> 00:10:03,180
And it's true that the Industrial Revolution couldn't have taken place at all if it weren't for these

124
00:10:03,180 --> 00:10:04,740
new sources of power.

125
00:10:05,730 --> 00:10:11,790
They marked an important shift away from the traditional water mills and windmills that had dominated

126
00:10:11,790 --> 00:10:12,780
before this.

127
00:10:13,820 --> 00:10:18,530
The most advanced industry for much of the 19th century was textiles.

128
00:10:19,100 --> 00:10:24,920
This meant that fashionable fabrics and lace and ribbons were made available to everyone.

129
00:10:26,500 --> 00:10:33,160
Before the Industrial Revolution, most people made goods to sell in small workshops, often in their

130
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:34,150
own homes.

131
00:10:34,630 --> 00:10:41,230
But enormous new machines were now being created that could produce the goods faster and on a larger

132
00:10:41,230 --> 00:10:42,040
scale.

133
00:10:42,100 --> 00:10:44,860
And these required a lot more space.

134
00:10:45,770 --> 00:10:52,310
So large factories were built replacing the workshops and forcing workers to travel to work.

135
00:10:53,100 --> 00:10:58,950
In fact, large numbers of people migrated from villages into towns as a result.

136
00:11:04,010 --> 00:11:05,540
As well as manufacturing.

137
00:11:05,540 --> 00:11:10,760
There were new technologies in transport contributing to the growth of consumerism.

138
00:11:11,700 --> 00:11:18,180
The horse drawn stagecoaches and carts of the 18th century, which carried very few people and goods

139
00:11:18,180 --> 00:11:24,480
and travelled slowly along poorly surfaced roads were gradually replaced by the numerous canals that

140
00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:25,530
were constructed.

141
00:11:26,260 --> 00:11:30,490
These were particularly important for the transportation of goods.

142
00:11:31,230 --> 00:11:37,530
The canals gradually fell out of use, though, as railways were developed, becoming the main way of

143
00:11:37,530 --> 00:11:42,090
moving goods and people from one end of the country to the other.

144
00:11:42,860 --> 00:11:47,570
And the goods they moved weren't just coal, iron, clothes and so on.

145
00:11:47,930 --> 00:11:55,340
Significantly, they included newspapers, which meant that thousands of people were not only more knowledgeable

146
00:11:55,340 --> 00:12:02,120
about what was going on in the country, but could also read about what was available in the shops and

147
00:12:02,120 --> 00:12:04,460
that encouraged them to buy more.

148
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:11,210
So faster forms of transport resulted in distribution becoming far more efficient.

149
00:12:11,750 --> 00:12:17,120
Goods could now be sold all over the country instead of just in the local market.

150
00:12:19,050 --> 00:12:24,600
The third main area that saw changes that contributed to consumerism was retailing.

151
00:12:25,410 --> 00:12:32,850
The number and quality of shops grew rapidly, and in particular, small shops suffered as customers

152
00:12:32,850 --> 00:12:39,690
flocked to the growing number of department stores, a form of retailing that was new in the 19th century.

153
00:12:40,490 --> 00:12:47,900
The entrepreneurs who opened these found new ways to stock them with goods and to attract customers.

154
00:12:48,850 --> 00:12:56,500
For instance, improved lighting inside greatly increased the visibility of the goods for sale.

155
00:12:57,270 --> 00:13:04,290
Another development that made goods more visible from outside resulted from the use of plate glass,

156
00:13:04,470 --> 00:13:08,610
which made it possible for windows to be much larger than previously.

157
00:13:09,750 --> 00:13:12,750
New ways of promoting goods were introduced too.

158
00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:19,920
Previously, the focus had been on informing potential customers about the availability of goods.

159
00:13:20,370 --> 00:13:26,310
Now there was an explosion in advertising, trying to persuade people to go shopping.

160
00:13:27,650 --> 00:13:31,700
Flanders claims that one of the great effects of the industrial revolution.

161
00:13:33,010 --> 00:13:33,610
All right.

162
00:13:33,610 --> 00:13:39,670
So now in terms of the synonyms that you should have heard.

163
00:13:43,450 --> 00:13:51,460
Right when they said use to measure the audio said used as an indication of improvements in developments

164
00:13:51,460 --> 00:14:02,320
in greatly changed lives massive social changes types sources the leading most advanced moved into towns

165
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:04,570
you could have had traveled or migrated.

166
00:14:05,110 --> 00:14:15,910
Greater significant aware knowledgeable better improved were bigger much larger than and for persuasive.

167
00:14:15,910 --> 00:14:17,680
They said the word persuade.

168
00:14:18,730 --> 00:14:25,780
Now, all of these questions, these questions, key words, these questions, key words were the key

169
00:14:25,780 --> 00:14:31,780
words and the questions that are directly connected to the answer choice.

170
00:14:32,720 --> 00:14:35,780
They're directly connected to the answer choice.

171
00:14:36,080 --> 00:14:43,610
And what they're trying to do on the listening exam is they're trying to hide when they say these key

172
00:14:43,610 --> 00:14:44,540
words.

173
00:14:46,700 --> 00:14:53,840
They're trying to hide when they say these key words by using synonyms and paraphrasing of those key

174
00:14:53,840 --> 00:15:00,860
words, because they know if you don't recognize a synonym of this, most likely you're going to miss

175
00:15:00,860 --> 00:15:02,090
the answer choice.

176
00:15:02,690 --> 00:15:12,950
So I'm pointing this out to you, because what what happens to so many students is they think that if

177
00:15:12,950 --> 00:15:18,800
they keep doing the same thing over and over and over again, that magically they're going to get a

178
00:15:18,800 --> 00:15:19,760
better score.

179
00:15:20,540 --> 00:15:26,870
And, you know, I've seen people they've taken on what they've taken the exam five times and they keep

180
00:15:26,870 --> 00:15:28,070
getting a six.

181
00:15:28,800 --> 00:15:33,310
Well, I've taken the exam four times and I keep getting us a 6.5.

182
00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:35,000
And listen, I can't get better.

183
00:15:35,840 --> 00:15:40,430
And if you don't if you don't improve your skills.

184
00:15:41,460 --> 00:15:48,270
If you don't improve the skills associated with the exam, then you're not going to get better.

185
00:15:49,680 --> 00:15:58,800
So sometimes it's not about just jumping from test to test to test the test and trying to magically

186
00:15:58,800 --> 00:15:59,580
get better.

187
00:16:00,270 --> 00:16:09,570
Sometimes you take a test and then you can either do what I did initially, which was using the transcript

188
00:16:09,570 --> 00:16:17,970
to break down and recognize when synonyms and paraphrasing is happening, or sometimes pulling out keywords

189
00:16:17,970 --> 00:16:26,640
from the questions and listening for when you're hearing those, when you're hearing those key words.

190
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:29,110
Right now.

191
00:16:29,130 --> 00:16:30,000
Was there.

192
00:16:30,030 --> 00:16:33,360
Was there anybody that got all of these correct?

193
00:16:35,010 --> 00:16:36,390
Then anybody get 100?

194
00:16:36,390 --> 00:16:38,280
I don't think anybody got 100%.

195
00:16:39,310 --> 00:16:39,760
Right.

196
00:16:40,420 --> 00:16:41,590
Did anybody get.

197
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:43,840
Well, somebody's going to.

198
00:16:44,580 --> 00:16:47,330
Somebody wants to really show off and that.

199
00:16:48,370 --> 00:16:48,720
Okay.

200
00:16:48,730 --> 00:16:49,450
Let's see.

201
00:16:50,960 --> 00:16:51,530
No, no, no.

202
00:16:51,530 --> 00:16:53,030
Don't worry about antonyms.

203
00:16:54,010 --> 00:16:54,790
No, no, no.

204
00:16:54,790 --> 00:16:55,690
Don't worry about answering them.

205
00:16:55,690 --> 00:16:58,150
Somebody just asked me the question about antonyms.

206
00:17:00,150 --> 00:17:01,800
It's not about antonyms.

207
00:17:02,730 --> 00:17:07,530
It's about it's about synonyms and paraphrasing, not antonyms.

208
00:17:08,510 --> 00:17:09,560
For number 11.

209
00:17:09,560 --> 00:17:12,590
All they did was they used a different word form.

210
00:17:12,710 --> 00:17:14,240
The word is persuasive.

211
00:17:15,220 --> 00:17:18,550
But when the audio the word they said was persuade.

212
00:17:19,840 --> 00:17:25,660
And so sometimes they're testing whether or not the student can recognize change of word form.

213
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:31,890
So you have to keep in mind that it's an English test.

214
00:17:32,950 --> 00:17:36,670
It's an English test is not a it's not a listening.

215
00:17:36,670 --> 00:17:40,000
It's not a you know, can you hear the same word that they see at test?

216
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:43,090
It's a it's a it's a listening test.

217
00:17:43,990 --> 00:17:47,050
And for the aisles exam for listening.

218
00:17:47,050 --> 00:17:49,180
There's certain skills that you need.

219
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:56,990
There are certain skills that you need, and one of the primary skills that you need is an ability to

220
00:17:56,990 --> 00:18:00,110
recognize when paraphrasing and synonyms are happening.

221
00:18:01,550 --> 00:18:07,220
You know, so when, for example, when students asked me about multiple choice questions and they say,

222
00:18:07,670 --> 00:18:12,680
I'm having so many problems with the multiple choice question, oh, please help me.

223
00:18:12,680 --> 00:18:14,120
I don't know what to do.

224
00:18:14,270 --> 00:18:18,050
And then I tell them, Well, you have to get better at synonyms and paraphrasing.

225
00:18:18,740 --> 00:18:23,000
And then I explain to them how to do it, like what I'm telling you right now.

226
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,250
And then they say, Is there something else I can do?

227
00:18:25,460 --> 00:18:27,850
No, no, it's not.

228
00:18:27,860 --> 00:18:29,810
Some things are not necessarily easy.

229
00:18:29,810 --> 00:18:33,410
Some things take hard work to get better at the skill.

230
00:18:34,480 --> 00:18:35,020
All right.

231
00:18:35,740 --> 00:18:41,890
And so, you know, this is this is this is a skill that you have to get better at doing.

232
00:18:45,830 --> 00:18:46,660
Marcus.

233
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:47,940
Number three.

234
00:18:47,960 --> 00:18:49,310
Number three says.

235
00:18:49,970 --> 00:18:53,390
They say it great greatly changes lives.

236
00:18:53,900 --> 00:18:55,760
So when you see massive.

237
00:18:56,790 --> 00:18:57,270
Mass.

238
00:18:57,270 --> 00:19:00,390
The word massive is really the key thing for great.

239
00:19:01,360 --> 00:19:01,630
Right.

240
00:19:01,630 --> 00:19:03,850
They said massive social changes.

241
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:07,150
When they say social changes, you're talking about changing lives.

242
00:19:07,150 --> 00:19:08,140
Social changes.

243
00:19:08,140 --> 00:19:09,250
Changing lives.

244
00:19:09,370 --> 00:19:11,800
But the direct.

245
00:19:13,500 --> 00:19:16,980
Word relationship is between massive and greatly.

246
00:19:18,290 --> 00:19:21,800
And then we're paraphrasing with social changes and changing lives.

247
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:25,730
So that's that's how we address that's how you would address number three.

248
00:19:30,570 --> 00:19:36,420
Well if you were listening to me, Ramya, I said that the answer can be traveled or the answer can

249
00:19:36,420 --> 00:19:37,320
be migration.

250
00:19:37,320 --> 00:19:38,340
That's what I said.

251
00:19:40,770 --> 00:19:42,210
I said it can be either one.

252
00:19:49,030 --> 00:19:49,360
Right.

253
00:19:49,360 --> 00:19:57,100
So for number four, they say a types of the word types and the word sources have a similar meaning.

254
00:19:57,100 --> 00:19:59,620
They're not direct synonyms of each other.

255
00:20:02,440 --> 00:20:02,830
You know.

256
00:20:02,830 --> 00:20:04,900
So but but that was the.

257
00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:14,030
Sometimes you have direct synonyms and then you have paraphrasing and paraphrasing means basically you

258
00:20:14,030 --> 00:20:15,530
have the same meaning.

259
00:20:16,450 --> 00:20:16,680
Right.

260
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:19,390
That's the real difference between synonyms and paraphrasing.

261
00:20:19,390 --> 00:20:25,900
Paraphrasing, paraphrasing is actually more difficult because you're dealing with this as the same

262
00:20:25,900 --> 00:20:26,710
meaning.

263
00:20:27,250 --> 00:20:27,610
And that's.
