1
00:00:00,450 --> 00:00:00,720
Hello.

2
00:00:00,750 --> 00:00:04,420
There is time to get into another question strategy.

3
00:00:04,440 --> 00:00:11,790
And this time, everybody, we are going to take the time to analyze the diagram on the islands reading

4
00:00:11,790 --> 00:00:18,120
test every now and then, not every time, but every now and then they'll throw in a diagram.

5
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:24,690
And so it's just important for you to have a general understanding of how that works.

6
00:00:25,110 --> 00:00:28,790
Now, you might see a diagram on the general tests.

7
00:00:28,800 --> 00:00:34,650
You might see a diagram on the academic test, same strategy, same.

8
00:00:34,650 --> 00:00:35,910
The exact same.

9
00:00:38,220 --> 00:00:42,510
So a diagram question might look like what you see on the right hand side.

10
00:00:44,350 --> 00:00:52,030
They have a diagram of how they collect ants and you have all these blank lines you have to finish or

11
00:00:52,030 --> 00:00:53,140
really complete.

12
00:00:53,990 --> 00:00:55,760
And you have to be able to look at a diagram.

13
00:00:55,760 --> 00:00:59,270
And really, this is how they're testing your English, right?

14
00:00:59,540 --> 00:01:04,280
You have to be able to look at that picture that that you have to be able to look at what they're talking

15
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:09,620
about for number 37 and looking at it and saying, well, what is the shape of that?

16
00:01:10,340 --> 00:01:12,920
And then recognizing the shape of that.

17
00:01:13,550 --> 00:01:14,210
Right.

18
00:01:14,450 --> 00:01:21,230
The roof, the angled roof, looking at this and being able to see that language in a paragraph and

19
00:01:21,230 --> 00:01:22,820
know that's what they're talking about.

20
00:01:23,480 --> 00:01:23,810
Right.

21
00:01:23,810 --> 00:01:26,240
Or looking at number 40 on the bottom there.

22
00:01:26,540 --> 00:01:32,240
And then when you're looking at number 40 on the bottom down here, being able to know that that looks

23
00:01:32,240 --> 00:01:33,800
like some type of pan.

24
00:01:34,670 --> 00:01:35,180
Right.

25
00:01:35,180 --> 00:01:42,680
So that's how they're testing your English, being able to look at a diagram and recognizing the English

26
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:44,960
words for these different things.

27
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:55,800
Now there is a scanning requirement and normally for a diagram question the scanning requirement involves

28
00:01:55,800 --> 00:02:01,650
your being able to find the paragraph where they are describing the diagram.

29
00:02:02,730 --> 00:02:09,480
There's always going to be one paragraph, possibly two, where they are describing what the diagram

30
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:10,380
looks like.

31
00:02:12,210 --> 00:02:15,570
And then, of course, you may have to work on synonym language.

32
00:02:15,600 --> 00:02:16,380
It depends.

33
00:02:16,380 --> 00:02:19,560
It depends if there were is before and after the blank line.

34
00:02:20,010 --> 00:02:20,640
Right.

35
00:02:20,910 --> 00:02:25,260
But a diagram question is basically a field of blank question.

36
00:02:25,980 --> 00:02:27,240
That's what it is.

37
00:02:27,510 --> 00:02:34,590
You have to fill these different blank lines by looking at how they describe the diagram in a paragraph

38
00:02:34,980 --> 00:02:41,160
and then recognizing these different parts on the diagram in terms of what the meaning is in English.

39
00:02:44,030 --> 00:02:50,900
So with the diagram question in terms of the question strategy, of course, you have to identify the

40
00:02:50,900 --> 00:02:55,880
key words on the diagram if if it has if it has words.

41
00:02:55,880 --> 00:03:01,430
So, for example, for this one, you have the word metal, you have the word covered with you have

42
00:03:01,430 --> 00:03:02,780
the word content.

43
00:03:02,870 --> 00:03:09,170
That's that's really important language, because that language is going to connect to the answer choices.

44
00:03:09,860 --> 00:03:16,580
Of course, on a diagram, you want to choose the part of the diagram that's easiest to find the answer

45
00:03:16,580 --> 00:03:17,600
for first.

46
00:03:18,740 --> 00:03:25,520
In terms of the scanning part, like I said, normally it doesn't involve a lot of scanning because

47
00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:30,440
they're going to describe the parent the diagram normally in just one paragraph to maximum.

48
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:37,390
And then we apply our answer strategy, right?

49
00:03:37,390 --> 00:03:42,910
Recognizing the part of the diagram they're referring to and knowing what that's called in English.

50
00:03:43,950 --> 00:03:46,350
They're going to give you the answer in the paragraph.

51
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:49,410
You don't have to come up with the answer from your own head.

52
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:56,490
So let's look at this example right here in terms of a diagram with this one now with a diagram.

53
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:59,910
Also, keep in mind, with the diagram, it may not go in order.

54
00:04:01,250 --> 00:04:05,360
It may not go in order, and this one can give you evidence of that.

55
00:04:05,870 --> 00:04:07,520
When we look at this one here.

56
00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:21,920
We can see how in the paragraph it says Dakar, the carbolic smoke ball was a hollow rubber ball.

57
00:04:22,640 --> 00:04:25,790
So here they're pointing to the fact that it's hollow.

58
00:04:26,390 --> 00:04:29,330
So the answer for number eight is going to be rubber ball.

59
00:04:31,020 --> 00:04:31,620
Right.

60
00:04:31,620 --> 00:04:36,770
Five centimeters across with a nozzle.

61
00:04:36,780 --> 00:04:37,470
Right.

62
00:04:37,470 --> 00:04:39,330
So you're supposed to know.

63
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:48,090
You're supposed to know that this part of this shape in English is called a nozzle.

64
00:04:49,300 --> 00:04:50,680
It's called a nozzle.

65
00:04:51,630 --> 00:04:54,570
And then it says, covered by gauze.

66
00:04:54,900 --> 00:04:57,060
You're supposed to know that this.

67
00:04:57,300 --> 00:04:58,530
This is gauze.

68
00:05:00,490 --> 00:05:06,070
Now, number five would have been the easiest one to find because it says covered with.

69
00:05:06,070 --> 00:05:07,510
And here it says what?

70
00:05:07,960 --> 00:05:10,390
Covered by gauze.

71
00:05:11,290 --> 00:05:11,600
Right.

72
00:05:11,650 --> 00:05:12,520
Covered by gauze.

73
00:05:12,520 --> 00:05:19,870
So if you find number 5/1 and you find that that's gauze, you know, number five and number six have

74
00:05:19,870 --> 00:05:21,130
to be close together.

75
00:05:22,850 --> 00:05:25,550
And then number seven is showing you what's on the inside.

76
00:05:25,550 --> 00:05:29,990
That's why they have a cutout like this is showing you what's on the inside.

77
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:35,150
So when you're looking at the language of the paragraph, you're looking for what they what their what

78
00:05:35,150 --> 00:05:35,660
they're saying.

79
00:05:35,660 --> 00:05:36,770
On the inside.

80
00:05:37,340 --> 00:05:40,460
It says inside was powder.

81
00:05:41,670 --> 00:05:49,680
So if you look at it question eight in the paragraph we saw question eight, then we saw question six,

82
00:05:50,280 --> 00:05:53,340
then we saw question five, then question seven.

83
00:05:54,000 --> 00:05:56,380
So it wasn't going in exact order.

84
00:05:56,400 --> 00:06:01,500
And that can that can happen when answer choices are bunched up together.

85
00:06:06,500 --> 00:06:10,130
Now in this diagram, we're looking at another diagram.

86
00:06:10,130 --> 00:06:19,220
And when I have when I have a diagram and it has a title like how the 1670 lever based device worked,

87
00:06:19,670 --> 00:06:22,790
I'm going to find that very easily because of the date.

88
00:06:23,690 --> 00:06:25,460
Very easily because of the date.

89
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:30,440
And then it's just a matter of filling in what's on the blank line.

90
00:06:31,610 --> 00:06:37,250
So it says it was called the anchor is the anchor escapement.

91
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:38,620
Right.

92
00:06:38,620 --> 00:06:40,630
Or number nine would be escapement anchor.

93
00:06:40,630 --> 00:06:41,290
Anchor.

94
00:06:41,770 --> 00:06:45,970
But they're giving me a word right there resembling so you might say, well, where's the word resembling?

95
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:47,470
Keep reading the sentence.

96
00:06:47,470 --> 00:06:53,050
And it says shaped like so shaped like is a synonym for resemble.

97
00:06:53,230 --> 00:06:54,540
So ship's anchor.

98
00:06:54,550 --> 00:06:56,260
So again, I would put anchor.

99
00:06:57,070 --> 00:07:00,220
Or because here for this one, you are able to put two words.

100
00:07:00,220 --> 00:07:01,840
You put ship's anchor.

101
00:07:04,050 --> 00:07:04,830
All right.

102
00:07:05,020 --> 00:07:12,250
And then for the next one, the motion of a pendulum rocks this device so that it catches and then releases.

103
00:07:12,250 --> 00:07:14,530
Each answer is tooth.

104
00:07:15,540 --> 00:07:16,170
Right.

105
00:07:16,410 --> 00:07:17,860
It catches Amber.

106
00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:19,950
Lisa So they're talking about right here.

107
00:07:20,700 --> 00:07:22,710
Right is catching and releasing.

108
00:07:22,710 --> 00:07:24,240
Catching and releasing.

109
00:07:24,390 --> 00:07:25,020
What is it?

110
00:07:25,020 --> 00:07:33,240
Catching and releasing is catching and releasing from each tooth of the number ten escape wheel.

111
00:07:33,240 --> 00:07:38,940
So here you see you find number 11 before you find number ten, right?

112
00:07:38,940 --> 00:07:39,470
Number 11.

113
00:07:39,470 --> 00:07:44,430
When we talk about a circular motion, you should be able to identify that is a wheel.

114
00:07:49,120 --> 00:07:52,440
And then for number 12 and 13, right.

115
00:07:52,450 --> 00:07:53,440
We're right here.

116
00:07:53,650 --> 00:08:01,000
And I know 12 and 13 are connected together because it has a blank which beats each.

117
00:08:01,660 --> 00:08:08,170
Moreover, this invention allowed the use of a long pendulum which could beat once a second.

118
00:08:09,140 --> 00:08:15,200
Right which could beat once a is synonym for which beats each each is synonym for a.

119
00:08:15,290 --> 00:08:17,660
That means number 13 is second.

120
00:08:18,110 --> 00:08:20,540
And what's before that is long pendulum.

121
00:08:21,410 --> 00:08:22,040
Right now.

122
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:24,520
If you just put pendulum, you will be marked correct also.

123
00:08:24,630 --> 00:08:25,070
OC.

124
00:08:31,930 --> 00:08:32,480
All right.

125
00:08:32,540 --> 00:08:35,540
This one is a little bit more difficult to read.

126
00:08:35,720 --> 00:08:36,410
Sorry about that.

127
00:08:36,410 --> 00:08:37,850
I couldn't make it more clear.

128
00:08:39,140 --> 00:08:40,730
So I'm going to read it to you.

129
00:08:41,240 --> 00:08:43,010
Traditional roller coasters.

130
00:08:43,220 --> 00:08:52,400
Lifting force depends on a long line of blank for climbing up, which is connected firmly to a blank

131
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:53,570
shaped track.

132
00:08:54,140 --> 00:09:03,770
There are both blank on the top and underneath the heel, and it is powered by a blank line when it

133
00:09:03,770 --> 00:09:04,850
takes a turn.

134
00:09:07,210 --> 00:09:13,210
So first, I'm looking for the traditional roller coasters lifting force in here.

135
00:09:13,450 --> 00:09:14,530
Here it is right here.

136
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:19,690
The traditional lifting mechanism is a long length of chain.

137
00:09:20,510 --> 00:09:24,410
It's a long line, a long left answers chain.

138
00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:27,170
The chain is fastened in a loop.

139
00:09:27,170 --> 00:09:30,860
Fastened instead of them for connected firmly to.

140
00:09:31,780 --> 00:09:34,430
Connected firmly to is synonym for fastened.

141
00:09:34,450 --> 00:09:36,520
That means the answer is loop.

142
00:09:40,380 --> 00:09:42,090
And then number three.

143
00:09:42,760 --> 00:09:43,930
Which is round around.

144
00:09:43,930 --> 00:09:45,560
Which is wound around.

145
00:09:45,580 --> 00:09:46,750
That's tricky to say, huh?

146
00:09:46,900 --> 00:09:53,920
Which is wound around a gear at the top of the heel and another one at the bottom of the heel.

147
00:09:54,220 --> 00:10:00,430
So here we have there are both gears.

148
00:10:01,060 --> 00:10:06,400
Right now, if you wrote if you wrote gears and here's a situation.

149
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:07,990
This one is this one is interesting.

150
00:10:08,500 --> 00:10:14,350
Here's a situation that if you wrote the word directly from the passage gear, it will be correct.

151
00:10:14,650 --> 00:10:18,220
But grammatically, on the blank line, you can put gears.

152
00:10:19,370 --> 00:10:23,070
There are both gears on the top and underneath.

153
00:10:23,090 --> 00:10:29,630
So this is one of the this is one of those situations where when you look at the answer key, you will

154
00:10:29,630 --> 00:10:37,640
see the word gear and the word gears as both acceptable, because the grammar the way the grammar is

155
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:44,540
written in the passage, the word gear is singular, but the way the grammar is rested on the answer,

156
00:10:44,540 --> 00:10:48,350
in the in the question, the word gear would be plural.

157
00:10:48,890 --> 00:10:55,160
They would accept in that situation, they would accept the singular and the plural.

158
00:10:55,370 --> 00:10:58,310
And I get that kind of question by students all the time.

159
00:10:58,310 --> 00:11:04,220
And that's what I mean when I say it depends on the grammar structure of the question.

160
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:14,500
It's okay and then it's powered by is turned by which is synonym for powered by turn by a simple motor.

161
00:11:15,070 --> 00:11:22,090
So with the diagram is like any other field, the blank question, you're paying attention to the language

162
00:11:22,090 --> 00:11:23,500
before the blank line.

163
00:11:25,230 --> 00:11:25,560
All right.

164
00:11:25,560 --> 00:11:32,250
So coming up next, I'm going to give you some examples using a real passage in terms of being able

165
00:11:32,250 --> 00:11:38,630
to explain the full passage application with scanning and the answer application.

166
00:11:38,640 --> 00:11:42,780
So thank you very much for joining me and have a great day.

167
00:11:42,780 --> 00:11:43,830
I'll talk to you later.
