1 00:00:00,300 --> 00:00:05,880 Now that we have completed the previous question analysis, it's time for us to go ahead and move on 2 00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:08,160 to another question strategy. 3 00:00:08,940 --> 00:00:11,580 Let's take a look at doing a table. 4 00:00:12,030 --> 00:00:13,590 How do we handle the table? 5 00:00:13,590 --> 00:00:16,650 Question for the reading exam. 6 00:00:17,340 --> 00:00:23,220 Now the table question is something you'll see on the academic exam or the general exam, both of them. 7 00:00:23,550 --> 00:00:30,990 In fact, all of these question types are eligible to be presented on the general or the academic test. 8 00:00:33,290 --> 00:00:36,770 So a table question looks exactly like that. 9 00:00:37,250 --> 00:00:39,620 On the academic test, you'll be. 10 00:00:39,620 --> 00:00:42,650 I'll have more boxes, more complicated vocabulary. 11 00:00:42,830 --> 00:00:48,110 On the general test, they'll have maybe less boxes and more simple vocabulary. 12 00:00:48,710 --> 00:00:50,810 But the strategy doesn't change. 13 00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:53,390 The strategy is exactly the same. 14 00:00:56,450 --> 00:01:02,720 So this is basically a field blank question, except the questions are located on the table. 15 00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:06,560 It has the same scanning requirement as a field. 16 00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:13,520 The blank question where you have to look at the sentences in the box and then scan the passage and 17 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:15,380 find that matching sentence. 18 00:01:15,380 --> 00:01:22,940 Read it and then select the word that goes on the blank line and guarantee guaranteeing your accuracy 19 00:01:22,940 --> 00:01:28,430 and doing this by focusing on the language that's before and after the blank line. 20 00:01:28,670 --> 00:01:33,980 Of course, you have to focus on synonym language, especially when you're dealing with the words that 21 00:01:33,980 --> 00:01:38,900 are before and after the blank line, because that's how they try to make it difficult sometimes. 22 00:01:42,270 --> 00:01:50,010 So with a table question in terms of just some strategic information, it's possible that it might not 23 00:01:50,010 --> 00:01:52,350 go in order, but it's really easy to do. 24 00:01:52,710 --> 00:01:58,920 And sometimes that's because on the table you might have two questions that are right next to each other. 25 00:01:59,190 --> 00:02:04,050 And it's possible in the paragraph they might be, they might be, because they're worded differently 26 00:02:04,050 --> 00:02:05,220 in a paragraph. 27 00:02:05,250 --> 00:02:08,130 Number five might come before number four. 28 00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:12,690 It's a possibility, but it's a really easy question to do. 29 00:02:13,140 --> 00:02:17,250 Typically, you're going to see this question in section one. 30 00:02:18,270 --> 00:02:22,230 Sometimes you'll see it in Section three, but normally it's going to be in sections one or two. 31 00:02:22,500 --> 00:02:27,780 It's a good question to do first because like I said, it's pretty easy and straightforward to do and 32 00:02:27,780 --> 00:02:33,420 you need to focus on the language that is before and after the blank line, because that's going to 33 00:02:33,420 --> 00:02:35,190 connect to the answer choice. 34 00:02:36,150 --> 00:02:40,560 So a table question typically looks like this, right? 35 00:02:40,560 --> 00:02:41,820 We have number one and two here. 36 00:02:41,820 --> 00:02:46,830 Actually, this one has, I think, a three or four and a five, but it's too big. 37 00:02:46,830 --> 00:02:49,710 So we're just looking at numbers one and two here. 38 00:02:50,010 --> 00:02:52,290 But this is what it looks like on a table. 39 00:02:52,740 --> 00:02:59,730 So for number one, it says observing the blank of Russian English bilingual people when asked to select 40 00:02:59,730 --> 00:03:01,050 certain objects. 41 00:03:05,850 --> 00:03:06,360 Right. 42 00:03:06,930 --> 00:03:08,550 So when we're looking at it. 43 00:03:09,930 --> 00:03:15,120 So says for bilingual people, I'm reading right here in paragraph B. 44 00:03:16,170 --> 00:03:22,440 For bilingual people, this activation is not limited to a single language. 45 00:03:23,190 --> 00:03:28,740 Auditory input activates corresponding words, regardless of the language to which they belong. 46 00:03:29,130 --> 00:03:34,890 Some of the most confident and some of the most compelling evidence for this phenomenon called language 47 00:03:35,100 --> 00:03:39,600 activation comes from studying eye movements. 48 00:03:40,230 --> 00:03:42,900 So here's an example of what I was talking about. 49 00:03:43,980 --> 00:03:44,370 Right. 50 00:03:44,370 --> 00:03:47,160 We're numbers one and two are reversed. 51 00:03:48,360 --> 00:03:52,590 So number two is language co activation. 52 00:03:52,710 --> 00:04:02,190 Bilingual people engage both languages simultaneously, a mechanism known as compelling evidence for 53 00:04:02,190 --> 00:04:06,360 this phenomenon called known as language. 54 00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:12,570 KO activation is number two, but you see in the paragraph it comes first comes from studying. 55 00:04:12,870 --> 00:04:14,610 Studying a synonym for what? 56 00:04:14,610 --> 00:04:15,630 Observing. 57 00:04:15,750 --> 00:04:17,970 So number one is eye movements. 58 00:04:18,540 --> 00:04:29,280 But you see you see how in the in the table they have eye movements first, language activation second. 59 00:04:31,260 --> 00:04:38,340 But because of the wording in the body paragraph, we see number 2/1 and then number one. 60 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:43,950 This is what I'm talking about in terms of it possibly going out of order. 61 00:04:46,260 --> 00:04:58,650 And here is another example of a table before 1700 by the middle of the 18th century, early 19th century. 62 00:05:01,380 --> 00:05:04,740 And so for before 1700, we don't have anything. 63 00:05:04,740 --> 00:05:05,910 Everything is there. 64 00:05:06,420 --> 00:05:09,450 So before 1700 is really just a marker. 65 00:05:12,090 --> 00:05:18,720 Now, by the middle of the 18th century, collection of blink and games, really straightforward. 66 00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:21,870 So number one is right here. 67 00:05:23,220 --> 00:05:26,340 It's its contents. 68 00:05:27,570 --> 00:05:28,480 Its contents. 69 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:37,380 See, in Britain, a London merchant named Thomas Boreham produced casinos, the Swedish giant in 1742, 70 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:44,220 while the more famous John Newbury published a little pretty pocket book in 1744. 71 00:05:45,150 --> 00:05:50,910 Its contents, rhymes, stories, children's games. 72 00:05:51,330 --> 00:05:57,990 So number one, our answer will be rhymes stories that fits within the word limit here. 73 00:06:00,660 --> 00:06:03,600 And then little pretty pocketbook. 74 00:06:03,600 --> 00:06:05,100 We see that right here. 75 00:06:06,360 --> 00:06:14,550 Now, in terms of the rest of it, it says, let's see, in many ways anticipated the similar lucky 76 00:06:14,550 --> 00:06:17,910 dip contents of children's annuals, essentially century. 77 00:06:17,910 --> 00:06:18,780 That's not the sentence. 78 00:06:18,780 --> 00:06:19,500 Here it is. 79 00:06:19,860 --> 00:06:27,540 It is a tribute to Newbury's flair that he hit upon a winning formula quite so quickly to be pirated 80 00:06:27,660 --> 00:06:31,710 to be pirated almost immediately in America. 81 00:06:32,230 --> 00:06:32,460 Right. 82 00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,580 So it was exported to was pirated to America. 83 00:06:37,860 --> 00:06:40,680 And remember, we're talking about the middle of the 18th century. 84 00:06:40,860 --> 00:06:45,720 So don't come telling me something about how do we know it's not digitally by internet or email. 85 00:06:46,500 --> 00:06:51,950 If it was pirated to America, that means it was brought there physically, right?
