1
00:00:00,450 --> 00:00:05,400
Hopefully you are really getting the hang of doing a short answer question type.

2
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:14,700
Let's look at one more and really solidify your understanding of this question type with the short answer

3
00:00:14,700 --> 00:00:15,510
question.

4
00:00:16,170 --> 00:00:23,070
We have to be able to do just a few steps, examine the questions, identify the key words, start with

5
00:00:23,070 --> 00:00:31,530
the easiest first, do a great job of scanning and then applying our question strategy, which is simply

6
00:00:31,980 --> 00:00:37,950
looking at that matching sentence and identifying what language would answer this question.

7
00:00:39,840 --> 00:00:46,260
So coming up next, we're going to go ahead and do a full passage application, scanning and answer

8
00:00:46,260 --> 00:00:47,220
application.

9
00:00:48,210 --> 00:00:51,430
We're going to look at Cambridge Book nine, Test one.

10
00:00:51,450 --> 00:00:55,680
William Henry Perkin This is a great reading passage.

11
00:00:55,680 --> 00:00:58,050
I think it has some great question types in it.

12
00:00:58,500 --> 00:01:00,040
So let's go ahead and take a look at it.

13
00:01:00,060 --> 00:01:02,700
Get your book out and work along with me, please.

14
00:01:04,920 --> 00:01:10,320
We have the beginning of the reading passes on the left hand side, the ending on the right, and you

15
00:01:10,320 --> 00:01:11,170
can see below.

16
00:01:11,190 --> 00:01:17,940
I'm working on questions eight through 13, so you should be looking at the same thing in your book.

17
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:21,600
We can write no more than two words for an answer choice.

18
00:01:21,810 --> 00:01:24,840
If you write three words, your answer is wrong.

19
00:01:24,960 --> 00:01:30,960
It doesn't matter that you have the correct answer contained within those three words they told you.

20
00:01:30,960 --> 00:01:36,030
You could only write two words and you wrote three words, so your answer is wrong.

21
00:01:36,210 --> 00:01:40,350
So a huge part of doing well is simply following directions.

22
00:01:42,070 --> 00:01:46,940
Here we have one, two, three, four, five, six short answer questions.

23
00:01:46,960 --> 00:01:50,290
So now we're going to have a lot of practice with this question type.

24
00:01:51,780 --> 00:01:54,960
Our first step is identifying the keywords.

25
00:01:54,990 --> 00:02:01,340
As usual, we work under time conditions because we are preparing for greatness on the exam.

26
00:02:01,350 --> 00:02:05,190
So get out your stopwatch and get ready to set that timer.

27
00:02:07,060 --> 00:02:09,200
Open your book to Cambridge nine.

28
00:02:09,220 --> 00:02:10,150
Test one.

29
00:02:10,150 --> 00:02:11,530
William Henry Perkin.

30
00:02:11,890 --> 00:02:14,930
I want you to set your clock for 45 seconds.

31
00:02:14,950 --> 00:02:22,750
Stop the lecture and please identify the key words in questions eight through 13 right now, please.

32
00:02:29,050 --> 00:02:33,160
For number eight, I identified group in society.

33
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:40,210
I think that language would be the easiest for me to locate first for number nine immediately understand

34
00:02:40,210 --> 00:02:41,350
new die.

35
00:02:41,800 --> 00:02:46,240
I think I can find the words new die fairly easily for number ten.

36
00:02:46,390 --> 00:02:49,540
Name finally used and the word invented.

37
00:02:49,570 --> 00:02:52,690
Number 11, consult it and die works.

38
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:56,870
I think Die Works is also fairly easy to find.

39
00:02:56,890 --> 00:03:00,010
There wouldn't really be a synonym for die works.

40
00:03:00,010 --> 00:03:03,220
So I actually might start with number 11/1.

41
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:08,190
Number 12 in what country and become fashionable.

42
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:14,680
So for number 12, I know it must connect to a country name that also might be a little bit easier to

43
00:03:14,680 --> 00:03:15,430
locate.

44
00:03:15,460 --> 00:03:20,710
And then number 13 is asking about diseases and synthetic dyes.

45
00:03:21,040 --> 00:03:25,240
So these are the key words that I identified.

46
00:03:26,380 --> 00:03:32,710
I really hope that you were also able to identify the proper keywords that will help you to be able

47
00:03:32,710 --> 00:03:37,450
to quickly identify the matching sentences in the passage.

48
00:03:39,780 --> 00:03:48,030
Now let's set a timer for 3 minutes because our goal is to locate the key word matching sentences in

49
00:03:48,030 --> 00:03:49,470
less than 3 minutes.

50
00:03:49,860 --> 00:03:57,360
If you're working from your book and you want to scan and then immediately answer, you should set your

51
00:03:57,360 --> 00:04:05,010
timer for 6 minutes and then try to scan and answer all the questions eight through 13.

52
00:04:05,340 --> 00:04:12,090
But we're going to work on scanning as an exercise because it's so key to doing well on the exam.

53
00:04:12,420 --> 00:04:14,790
On the exam, you can do it both ways.

54
00:04:15,090 --> 00:04:22,860
You can scan, answer, scan, answer, or you can scan for all the matching questions, all the matching

55
00:04:22,860 --> 00:04:26,670
sentences, and then go ahead and answer them.

56
00:04:26,670 --> 00:04:33,570
Then if you're working along with me and you want to work on scanning now, what you should do is set

57
00:04:33,570 --> 00:04:41,220
your timer for 3 minutes, stop the lecture and see if you can find all the matching sentences for numbers

58
00:04:41,220 --> 00:04:43,020
eight through 13.

59
00:04:43,290 --> 00:04:44,460
Please do that now.

60
00:04:44,490 --> 00:04:53,880
Hopefully you were able to locate all of the matching keyword sentences in the passage if you were able

61
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:55,750
to do that in less than 3 minutes.

62
00:04:55,770 --> 00:04:58,600
You are doing a fantastic job.

63
00:04:58,620 --> 00:05:01,830
If you were not able to do that in less than 3 minutes.

64
00:05:01,860 --> 00:05:03,090
Keep working at it.

65
00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:04,420
Keep working hard.

66
00:05:04,440 --> 00:05:07,860
The more you practice, the better you're going to be able to scan.

67
00:05:10,610 --> 00:05:11,930
For number eight.

68
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:16,520
We see it right here in the paragraph that starts with the word historically.

69
00:05:16,520 --> 00:05:24,140
And so when we're talking about it historically, we're talking about before Perkins Discovery, but

70
00:05:24,140 --> 00:05:30,110
we really see the correct sentence where it says in society at the time.

71
00:05:30,900 --> 00:05:33,330
So now we're talking about society.

72
00:05:33,390 --> 00:05:37,380
I know number eight is going to come from this sentence.

73
00:05:37,860 --> 00:05:43,920
This language right here lets me know that we're starting to talk about history or before his discovery.

74
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:51,010
Number nine is right here where it says nearly instant recognition.

75
00:05:51,460 --> 00:05:57,370
That is a paraphrasing of immediately understand and we see the words new die.

76
00:05:57,730 --> 00:06:02,230
So we know number nine is in that sentence for a number ten.

77
00:06:03,070 --> 00:06:12,250
For number ten we see his die and we see became commonly known as when we see became commonly known

78
00:06:12,250 --> 00:06:12,940
as.

79
00:06:13,150 --> 00:06:18,010
That's the same as saying name that is finally used number 11.

80
00:06:18,310 --> 00:06:26,890
He asked the advice consult it so the word consulted is a paraphrasing or synonym for someone asking

81
00:06:26,890 --> 00:06:27,880
for advice.

82
00:06:28,830 --> 00:06:30,300
We see that right there.

83
00:06:31,260 --> 00:06:34,830
And then also we see dye works right here also.

84
00:06:36,050 --> 00:06:38,720
So we know number 11 is from this sentence.

85
00:06:38,990 --> 00:06:42,140
Number 12, we see the words fashionable.

86
00:06:42,500 --> 00:06:44,930
So we know number 12 is from that sentence.

87
00:06:45,650 --> 00:06:54,500
And then number 13, artificial DI is a paraphrasing of or it's really a synonym of synthetic dyes.

88
00:06:55,130 --> 00:07:02,030
So I really hope you were able to find all of the matching sentences, because doing that in a limited

89
00:07:02,030 --> 00:07:07,160
amount of time and doing it accurately is so critical to your success.

90
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:10,430
And so keep practicing and keep working on that.

91
00:07:11,060 --> 00:07:15,980
Let's go ahead and move forward with answering the questions under time conditions.

92
00:07:16,130 --> 00:07:21,020
So set your timer for 3 minutes and let's go ahead and answer these questions.

93
00:07:22,430 --> 00:07:25,340
You know, we're all of the matching sentences are now.

94
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:31,160
So you just have to look at this sentence and find the answer to the question.

95
00:07:31,160 --> 00:07:35,990
And I know you can do it in less than 3 minutes, so please do that right now.

96
00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:43,430
I know all of you are working so hard, and I really hope that you were able to find the correct answers

97
00:07:43,430 --> 00:07:44,520
for the questions.

98
00:07:44,540 --> 00:07:45,650
Let's have a look.

99
00:07:48,060 --> 00:07:49,770
Number eight is rich.

100
00:07:50,490 --> 00:07:53,400
Number nine is commercial possibilities.

101
00:07:53,430 --> 00:07:55,290
Number ten is Marv.

102
00:07:55,320 --> 00:07:57,840
Number 11, Robert Puller.

103
00:07:57,960 --> 00:07:59,780
Number 12, France.

104
00:07:59,790 --> 00:08:01,920
And number 13, malaria.

105
00:08:03,190 --> 00:08:05,770
For number eight is really straightforward.

106
00:08:06,870 --> 00:08:12,840
The word rich is the only societal group name that we see in that sentence.

107
00:08:13,050 --> 00:08:18,030
So we write Rich as our answer choice for number nine.

108
00:08:18,510 --> 00:08:21,170
We're looking for what did he instantly understand?

109
00:08:21,180 --> 00:08:22,860
What did he instantly recognize?

110
00:08:22,860 --> 00:08:24,000
What potential?

111
00:08:24,270 --> 00:08:27,090
The potential relates to commercial possibilities.

112
00:08:27,300 --> 00:08:30,120
Now, you could have just written the word commercial.

113
00:08:30,150 --> 00:08:37,160
Writing the word possibilities was not necessary, but it's acceptable for number ten.

114
00:08:37,170 --> 00:08:39,900
What name was finally used?

115
00:08:41,420 --> 00:08:44,370
Became commonly known as mauve.

116
00:08:44,390 --> 00:08:46,370
So the correct answer is Marv.

117
00:08:46,910 --> 00:08:49,250
The next one, number 11, is really easy.

118
00:08:49,250 --> 00:08:51,860
We're looking for the name of a person who we consulted.

119
00:08:52,250 --> 00:08:55,190
He asked the advice of SCOTUS.

120
00:08:55,910 --> 00:08:59,900
He asked the advice of Scottish Die Works owner Robert Pooler.

121
00:09:01,510 --> 00:09:04,090
So we say we write the name Robert Pooler.

122
00:09:05,340 --> 00:09:10,530
Number 12, in what country did it first become fashionable?

123
00:09:10,830 --> 00:09:19,350
So here they really are testing your ability to recognize reference pronouns because it says Marv was

124
00:09:19,350 --> 00:09:26,070
necessary or was the necessary shade for all the fashionable ladies in that country.

125
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:33,240
So you have to look in the previous sentence and see that that country refers to the word France or

126
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:34,560
the country, France.

127
00:09:34,590 --> 00:09:39,060
You would write that as the answer choice and therefore number 13.

128
00:09:39,450 --> 00:09:43,280
When we see artificial dyes, that's our starting point.

129
00:09:43,290 --> 00:09:47,550
Artificial dyes is the synonym for synthetic dyes.

130
00:09:47,940 --> 00:09:52,740
As I've told you, a question can be a combination of two sentences at times.

131
00:09:53,520 --> 00:10:00,270
The correct answer is it says in what would have been particularly particularly pleasing to Perkin.

132
00:10:00,300 --> 00:10:05,520
Their current use is in search for a vaccine against malaria.

133
00:10:06,640 --> 00:10:08,960
Because it says what now?

134
00:10:08,980 --> 00:10:17,260
So when they say current use that's talking about now, that means the answer must be malaria.

135
00:10:17,800 --> 00:10:24,100
They try to throw you off by mentioning tuberculosis, cholera, anthrax.

136
00:10:24,550 --> 00:10:26,200
They try to throw you off.

137
00:10:26,410 --> 00:10:27,130
But.

138
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:32,440
Which disease is now, now, now, now.

139
00:10:32,470 --> 00:10:34,340
And here we see current.

140
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:37,300
So the answer must be malaria.

141
00:10:42,290 --> 00:10:44,180
Thank you so much for joining me.

142
00:10:44,540 --> 00:10:49,910
I hope that you fully understand how to manage a short answer question.
