1 00:00:00,820 --> 00:00:01,180 Okay. 2 00:00:01,180 --> 00:00:05,910 So you just finished your first table strategy application lecture. 3 00:00:05,920 --> 00:00:08,380 Let's go ahead and go through one more right now. 4 00:00:09,490 --> 00:00:17,770 So as you know, the table question is essentially a field of question, but is put inside of a of several 5 00:00:17,770 --> 00:00:20,830 boxes or what you would call a table. 6 00:00:20,830 --> 00:00:24,190 But it is in essence, a field doubling question. 7 00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:29,440 And it follows by nature the same strategy as a field, the blank question. 8 00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:35,920 As I mentioned in the previous lecture, the only difference is that sometimes if you have two questions, 9 00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:37,900 back to back in the same box. 10 00:00:38,740 --> 00:00:44,050 For example, if you had numbers four and five in the same box back to back, it's possible to have 11 00:00:44,050 --> 00:00:50,710 them in a reverse order where you find the correct answer for number 5/1, and then you find the correct 12 00:00:50,710 --> 00:00:51,910 answer for number four. 13 00:00:51,910 --> 00:00:56,470 And they usually are doing this within the context of a compound or complex sentence. 14 00:00:56,560 --> 00:01:00,190 So just be aware of that possibility and watch for that. 15 00:01:01,030 --> 00:01:08,110 You have to be able to find the keywords in the questions and then scan for those keywords, keeping 16 00:01:08,110 --> 00:01:12,550 in mind that they are most likely going to use paraphrasing and synonyms. 17 00:01:12,550 --> 00:01:17,050 So you have to keep that in mind when you're going through the scanning process. 18 00:01:18,460 --> 00:01:25,660 So let's go ahead and look at a full passage and apply our strategy to a full passage. 19 00:01:25,690 --> 00:01:31,270 We're going to work on the scanning aspect of it and then apply the answer strategy. 20 00:01:32,720 --> 00:01:38,090 So this one comes from Cambridge Book 12, Test six, part three. 21 00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:44,540 It is called The Benefits of Being Bilingual and is from Cambridge book number 12. 22 00:01:46,790 --> 00:01:53,120 So hopefully you have your book open in front of you and you can see I have my passage on the left side 23 00:01:53,510 --> 00:01:59,300 and then the finishing of the passage on the right side over here with paragraphs F and G. 24 00:01:59,690 --> 00:02:06,050 You can see down at the bottom that I'm working on the the table question, the field, the blank table 25 00:02:06,050 --> 00:02:06,800 question. 26 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,950 And I'm doing numbers 27 through 31. 27 00:02:12,220 --> 00:02:16,540 So the first thing we're going to do, of course, is work on identifying the keywords. 28 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:22,440 And as we've been doing consistently, we're going to do this under time conditions. 29 00:02:22,450 --> 00:02:25,270 So take out your phone and get your stopwatch ready. 30 00:02:27,160 --> 00:02:34,330 So on the left side, in big, beautiful script, you can see questions 27 through 31. 31 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:42,270 And you can tell that we're working in part number three because the questions are longer, the vocabulary 32 00:02:42,270 --> 00:02:43,530 is more difficult. 33 00:02:44,070 --> 00:02:44,520 Right. 34 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:48,780 So you should go ahead and open up your Cambridge book 12 test six Part three. 35 00:02:49,020 --> 00:02:56,460 And I want to I want to know if you can really identify the keywords in the question in less than 45 36 00:02:56,460 --> 00:02:57,150 seconds. 37 00:02:57,390 --> 00:03:05,250 So right now, I want you to stop the lecture, set your timer for 45 seconds, and then go through 38 00:03:05,250 --> 00:03:10,290 and try to highlight the keywords in questions 27 to 31. 39 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:11,550 Let's do that now. 40 00:03:16,750 --> 00:03:17,170 All right. 41 00:03:17,170 --> 00:03:22,910 So were you able to identify the same keywords that I did for number 27?

152 00:11:49,010 --> 00:11:54,920 Well, when they say in the classic, that means they're about to name something. 153 00:11:55,920 --> 00:12:02,340 They're about to name something in the classic story of Cinderella, in the classic story of things 154 00:12:02,340 --> 00:12:04,050 fall apart, right? 155 00:12:04,050 --> 00:12:05,270 In the classic test. 156 00:12:05,280 --> 00:12:06,390 This is a classic test. 157 00:12:06,390 --> 00:12:08,280 And we see the capital letters. 158 00:12:09,660 --> 00:12:13,290 So this is the name of the test right here or the name of the study? 159 00:12:14,550 --> 00:12:20,460 And you can tell that this is a study because they're saying people see a word and are asked to name 160 00:12:20,460 --> 00:12:21,110 the color. 161 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:23,040 So they're talking about a test. 162 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:25,470 This is the name of the test. 163 00:12:26,820 --> 00:12:29,550 Number 30 is conflict management again. 164 00:12:30,410 --> 00:12:32,990 Involving require. 165 00:12:33,320 --> 00:12:38,510 That's the that's the synonym or the paraphrasing how however you want to see it. 166 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:46,370 And then we see conflict management is related to that language and we also see often perform better 167 00:12:46,370 --> 00:12:52,970 on task is a paraphrasing are of are more able to handle task. 168 00:12:53,540 --> 00:13:02,060 So we see that relationship also seeing and recognizing paraphrasing and therefore number 31 cognitive 169 00:13:02,060 --> 00:13:05,480 control and then we see reflecting better. 170 00:13:05,690 --> 00:13:08,300 So this is something I want to point out to you. 171 00:13:09,510 --> 00:13:15,900 Look at some of the language they're using conflict management, cognitive control, language activation. 172 00:13:16,620 --> 00:13:21,540 Do you really think you're required to know what those words mean? 173 00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,260 This is where this what's really important. 174 00:13:25,260 --> 00:13:30,300 And I'm saying it because a lot of students don't realize this. 175 00:13:30,690 --> 00:13:32,940 When I'm looking for an answer choice. 176 00:13:33,630 --> 00:13:41,070 I'm not I don't care about language activation and what it means or what does conflict management means. 177 00:13:41,070 --> 00:13:42,240 Who cares? 178 00:13:42,660 --> 00:13:44,310 It's it's these are this. 179 00:13:44,340 --> 00:13:48,990 These are the words connected to the key word language before the blank line. 180 00:13:49,560 --> 00:13:58,950 A mechanism known as the paraphrasing is this phenomenon called me recognizing that paraphrase relationship 181 00:13:59,310 --> 00:14:01,050 is what really matters. 182 00:14:01,440 --> 00:14:04,530 And the connecting language. 183 00:14:04,530 --> 00:14:08,930 The connecting answer of language activation, that's the answer. 184 00:14:08,940 --> 00:14:15,540 But your real goal is or the real test is, can you recognize the paraphrasing that is happening? 185 00:14:17,350 --> 00:14:20,470 So thank you very much for joining me. 186 00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:26,650 I hope that you now really understand how to manage a table a little bit better, and also that you 187 00:14:26,650 --> 00:14:32,320 can see that once you get into paragraph three or really you get into part three, when you get into 188 00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:39,610 part three, that it is possible for the questions to be reversed if they're right next to each other. 189 00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:41,940 So thanks a lot and have a great day. 190 00:14:41,950 --> 00:14:42,940 I'll talk to you soon.
