1 00:00:00,900 --> 00:00:01,350 Hi there. 2 00:00:01,350 --> 00:00:02,670 Thanks so much for joining me. 3 00:00:02,670 --> 00:00:05,490 Today is great having you in the class. 4 00:00:05,520 --> 00:00:10,680 You've just finished learning the strategy for answering a field, the blank question, and now it's 5 00:00:10,680 --> 00:00:13,080 time for us to apply that strategy. 6 00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:14,340 So let's get started. 7 00:00:18,220 --> 00:00:22,180 With the field of play in question is very, very straightforward. 8 00:00:22,450 --> 00:00:28,690 You have to find what were goes on the blank line, what work goes on the blank line. 9 00:00:28,900 --> 00:00:36,460 And so to do this question, you first have to, of course, identify the keywords in the question scanned 10 00:00:36,460 --> 00:00:42,880 for the matching sentence in the passage, and then locate what word goes on that blank line. 11 00:00:42,910 --> 00:00:44,500 Sounds really easy. 12 00:00:44,710 --> 00:00:52,030 This is the question type that you have done for many, many years in school, filling the blank. 13 00:00:52,420 --> 00:00:55,870 And so it's a very well recognized strategy. 14 00:00:56,320 --> 00:01:02,800 The challenge here on the exam is that, number one, you have to be able to identify the keywords in 15 00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:03,610 the question. 16 00:01:04,790 --> 00:01:09,020 And keywords are always content words, nouns, verbs, adverbs. 17 00:01:09,680 --> 00:01:11,630 But there are two types of keywords. 18 00:01:11,990 --> 00:01:14,750 There are keywords to help you find the matching sentence. 19 00:01:15,140 --> 00:01:17,840 And there are keywords that point to the answer choice. 20 00:01:18,080 --> 00:01:24,560 The keywords, the words that are before and after the blank line are the words that help point towards 21 00:01:24,560 --> 00:01:26,300 the correct answer choice. 22 00:01:26,570 --> 00:01:33,230 So when you find the matching sentence, your job has to be to find those words that are before or after 23 00:01:33,230 --> 00:01:37,700 the blank line, because they will point you directly to the answer choice. 24 00:01:40,580 --> 00:01:48,650 Now in terms of some keys to success, as I was saying earlier, you have to know what to look for when 25 00:01:48,650 --> 00:01:54,440 you find that matching sentence is not about trying to understand the entire sentence. 26 00:01:54,800 --> 00:02:00,830 When you find the matching sentence, look for the language that goes before or after the blank line, 27 00:02:00,830 --> 00:02:04,040 because that language will point you to the answer choice. 28 00:02:04,580 --> 00:02:12,530 Also understand in terms of question creation, that is possible for them to create one question by 29 00:02:12,530 --> 00:02:14,930 using two sentences from the passage. 30 00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:20,510 Number three, you want to make sure that you write exactly what you read. 31 00:02:21,170 --> 00:02:23,030 Don't write synonyms. 32 00:02:23,240 --> 00:02:27,500 Write exactly the word as it's written in the passage. 33 00:02:30,390 --> 00:02:33,600 So let's go ahead and get started with applying the strategy. 34 00:02:33,780 --> 00:02:37,770 Coming up next, we're going to do a full passage application. 35 00:02:38,100 --> 00:02:45,210 We're going to work on scanning for the matching sentences and then finding the correct answer choice. 36 00:02:46,200 --> 00:02:46,800 All right. 37 00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:49,890 So we're doing a field of blank question type. 38 00:02:49,890 --> 00:02:56,710 And this one is coming from Cambridge Book ten, test two, part number two, gifted children and learning. 39 00:02:56,730 --> 00:02:59,970 So go ahead and open your book and work with me. 40 00:03:02,180 --> 00:03:02,540 All right. 41 00:03:02,540 --> 00:03:08,720 So you can see on my screen that I have the beginning of the reading passage on the left and the ending 42 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:10,310 of the reading passage on the right. 43 00:03:10,310 --> 00:03:12,890 And then below that, we have our questions. 44 00:03:15,970 --> 00:03:19,180 Our first job is to identify the keywords. 45 00:03:19,390 --> 00:03:25,360 Now we're going to be doing this under time conditions so we can simulate the exam pressure. 46 00:03:25,750 --> 00:03:32,200 So what I want you to do is take out your cell phone and turn on your stopwatch and set your stopwatch 47 00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:33,940 to the time that I indicate. 48 00:03:36,840 --> 00:03:42,180 So on the left side, we see the questions 23, 24, 25 and 26. 49 00:03:42,570 --> 00:03:47,100 And I want to know if you can identify the key words in the question. 50 00:03:47,430 --> 00:03:53,850 So open up your Cambridge book to test to set your clock for 45 seconds. 51 00:03:54,330 --> 00:04:02,160 And I want you to take 45 seconds to underline and identify the keywords in the question. 52 00:04:02,460 --> 00:04:05,310 So stop the lecture right now. 53 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:06,840 Stop the lecture. 54 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:13,710 Set your clock for 45 seconds and identify the keywords in questions 23 through 26. 55 00:04:20,090 --> 00:04:30,260 So did you or were you able to identify the same keywords that I identified for 23 study? 56 00:04:30,410 --> 00:04:34,490 Strong connection, IQ availability. 57 00:04:34,790 --> 00:04:38,780 Those are the key words that I identified for question 23. 58 00:04:39,050 --> 00:04:47,690 And I know that my answer choice my answer choice must connect to language of availability of and at 59 00:04:47,690 --> 00:04:48,320 home. 60 00:04:49,100 --> 00:04:49,370 Right. 61 00:04:49,370 --> 00:04:52,010 My answer choice must connect to this language. 62 00:04:54,840 --> 00:04:59,340 Now the words study and strong connection and really IQ. 63 00:04:59,520 --> 00:05:08,940 Those words will help me find the correct matching sentence number 24 average ability teachers write 64 00:05:08,940 --> 00:05:11,940 those words will help me find the correct sentence. 65 00:05:12,270 --> 00:05:16,680 The words do not have will connect directly to the answer choice. 66 00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:24,090 Metacognition involves understanding learning strategies. 67 00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:31,680 Those are our key words and 26 teachers and producing sets of impressive grades. 68 00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:33,840 Those are the key words for number 26. 69 00:05:36,830 --> 00:05:43,310 Now we're going to work on scanning for those keywords, and we're going to do this under time conditions, 70 00:05:43,730 --> 00:05:45,350 under time conditions. 71 00:05:45,350 --> 00:05:50,000 So now we're going to set your stopwatch to 3 minutes. 72 00:05:56,530 --> 00:05:56,980 All right. 73 00:05:56,980 --> 00:06:02,440 So you can see I have my reading passage on the left starting and ending on the right. 74 00:06:02,440 --> 00:06:03,820 There are my questions. 75 00:06:04,180 --> 00:06:06,130 So what you should do right now? 76 00:06:06,130 --> 00:06:12,580 Stop the lecture, set your timer for 3 minutes, and then see if you can scan and find all of the matching 77 00:06:12,580 --> 00:06:16,120 sentences for numbers 23 through 26. 78 00:06:21,730 --> 00:06:22,150 All right. 79 00:06:22,150 --> 00:06:26,140 So I hope you're able to find all of the matching sentences. 80 00:06:26,290 --> 00:06:33,640 In paragraph A, we find the matching sentence for number 23 because we see children's IQ, children's 81 00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:42,250 IQ, and we see also about a positive, close, positive relationship, which goes to strong connection. 82 00:06:42,460 --> 00:06:47,260 So my answer choice for number 23 will come from this sentence. 83 00:06:48,190 --> 00:06:53,740 Number 24, you should have found it very easily in paragraph B, because right there we see average 84 00:06:53,740 --> 00:06:59,350 ability and we see teacher for a number 26. 85 00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:04,600 We see in terms of metacognition, we see the word right there. 86 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:12,070 Metacognition, we see part of which is the same as the word involves understanding where it says to 87 00:07:12,070 --> 00:07:13,030 be aware. 88 00:07:13,870 --> 00:07:18,880 And also we hear here learning about areas to be learned for learning strategies. 89 00:07:20,470 --> 00:07:28,420 And then for number 26, we find that in paragraph RD where we have teachers and a tendency to which 90 00:07:28,420 --> 00:07:36,130 means rely on and then also producing extremely high or extremely high examination results. 91 00:07:36,670 --> 00:07:44,620 So we have found the matching sentences in paragraph A, B and also D. 92 00:07:45,070 --> 00:07:48,100 So I hope you're able to do that in under 3 minutes. 93 00:07:48,100 --> 00:07:51,520 Again, just scan and find your matching sentences. 94 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:59,250 Now we're going to go ahead and move forward with answering the questions again. 95 00:07:59,250 --> 00:08:01,320 Under time conditions. 96 00:08:01,590 --> 00:08:03,510 Under time conditions. 97 00:08:03,660 --> 00:08:06,300 So set your clock for 3 minutes now. 98 00:08:06,300 --> 00:08:07,290 3 minutes. 99 00:08:11,390 --> 00:08:15,170 Well, we have found the matching sentences already. 100 00:08:15,260 --> 00:08:21,050 So now it's time to answer the questions and fill in what goes on the blank line. 101 00:08:21,710 --> 00:08:24,620 So go ahead and set your clock for 3 minutes. 102 00:08:24,950 --> 00:08:29,300 Open your book and answer questions 23 through 26. 103 00:08:29,330 --> 00:08:30,530 Stop the lecture. 104 00:08:31,070 --> 00:08:35,300 Stop the lecture and answer questions 23 through 26. 105 00:08:35,330 --> 00:08:40,940 This should be easy for you now because you were able to find the matching sentences. 106 00:08:41,060 --> 00:08:46,280 Now you're just looking for the language that goes before and after the blank line, because that's 107 00:08:46,280 --> 00:08:48,620 going to point you to the answer choice. 108 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:57,530 So did you find the missing answers? 109 00:08:57,530 --> 00:09:00,770 Were you able to locate and find the missing answers? 110 00:09:01,370 --> 00:09:02,150 Let's see. 111 00:09:05,120 --> 00:09:10,790 Well, number 23 is you should have put books and activities at home. 112 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,490 Books and activities at home. 113 00:09:14,060 --> 00:09:22,070 And we see that is the answer choice, because right there it says in their home, at home, in their 114 00:09:22,070 --> 00:09:24,050 home, at home. 115 00:09:24,050 --> 00:09:28,220 So we have books and activities in their home, books and activities at home. 116 00:09:28,550 --> 00:09:36,170 Also, we see the language availability of what it says measured in terms of the number of. 117 00:09:36,200 --> 00:09:38,750 So again, that's talking about availability. 118 00:09:39,410 --> 00:09:43,820 So our answer choice has to be books and activities. 119 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:47,630 Number 24 was really straightforward. 120 00:09:48,230 --> 00:09:54,980 When you look at this sentence here in paragraph B, when you look at this sentence, don't start trying 121 00:09:54,980 --> 00:09:57,230 to understand the entire sentence. 122 00:09:57,230 --> 00:10:01,850 That is a waste of time that is not required of you. 123 00:10:02,330 --> 00:10:08,840 When you look at this sentence for paragraph in paragraph B, you should be looking for language that 124 00:10:08,840 --> 00:10:11,000 paraphrases do not have. 125 00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:17,420 That's all you're doing fine language that paraphrases do not have. 126 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:20,840 If you find that language, you find the answer. 127 00:10:21,050 --> 00:10:26,330 So right here, it says, for lack of that means do not have. 128 00:10:27,050 --> 00:10:30,080 So the answer is internal regulation. 129 00:10:31,310 --> 00:10:32,930 Internal regulation. 130 00:10:33,620 --> 00:10:37,190 You also could have had self regulation as an answer choice. 131 00:10:38,870 --> 00:10:47,660 Now number 25 is right here in the same paragraph B, and the answer choice is emotional awareness, 132 00:10:47,870 --> 00:10:49,460 emotion awareness. 133 00:10:50,270 --> 00:10:53,300 So metacognition involves what? 134 00:10:54,170 --> 00:10:55,880 What does it involve? 135 00:10:56,570 --> 00:11:04,370 It involves understanding learning strategies, as well as developing emotional intelligence or emotional 136 00:11:04,370 --> 00:11:04,940 awareness. 137 00:11:04,940 --> 00:11:06,680 I'm sorry, emotional awareness. 138 00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:08,520 Right. 139 00:11:08,540 --> 00:11:12,620 So it's a part of emotional awareness is a part of metacognition. 140 00:11:14,570 --> 00:11:21,980 We see understanding here, being aware of your feelings and learning and feelings. 141 00:11:22,580 --> 00:11:25,640 But what's missing is emotional awareness. 142 00:11:26,210 --> 00:11:31,400 Developing emotional awareness involves is a part of. 143 00:11:31,430 --> 00:11:34,850 So the answer choice is emotional awareness. 144 00:11:37,500 --> 00:11:38,820 Number 26. 145 00:11:39,270 --> 00:11:46,050 Again, this one is really straight forward because if you find produce sets of impressive grades, 146 00:11:46,050 --> 00:11:50,850 if you find the paraphrasing of that, you find your answer choice. 147 00:11:51,390 --> 00:11:58,200 So where it says can produce extremely high examination results, what's connected directly to that 148 00:11:58,200 --> 00:11:59,000 language? 149 00:11:59,010 --> 00:12:07,500 Spoon feeding, spoon feeding, spoon feeding off and produce sets of impressive grades. 150 00:12:07,530 --> 00:12:11,970 Spoon feeding can produce extremely high examination results. 151 00:12:12,390 --> 00:12:17,610 If you recognize the paraphrase language, you see the answer choice very, very easily. 152 00:12:20,430 --> 00:12:20,760 All right. 153 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:26,790 So if you want to take some time and kind of read through my explanations for any answers that you got 154 00:12:27,450 --> 00:12:33,090 correct or answers that you got wrong, you can see my explanations over here. 155 00:12:33,090 --> 00:12:35,310 You can just stop the lecture and read through those. 156 00:12:38,030 --> 00:12:45,170 Thank you so much for joining me in this first field of blank strategy application lecture and I'll 157 00:12:45,170 --> 00:12:46,070 talk to you soon.
