1
00:00:00,090 --> 00:00:07,680
We've just completed the strategy application for the first sentence completion example that we have

2
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:15,750
looked at so we can learn exactly how to apply the strategy in a real situation with a real passage.

3
00:00:16,410 --> 00:00:22,200
Let's go ahead and get into strategy application number two and practice doing this again.

4
00:00:25,140 --> 00:00:33,060
As you know, the sentence completion strategy is pretty much identical to the standard multiple choice

5
00:00:33,060 --> 00:00:34,380
question strategy.

6
00:00:34,710 --> 00:00:41,700
The only real difference is that with a sentence completion question, you're looking for the missing

7
00:00:41,700 --> 00:00:43,230
part of a sentence.

8
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:49,740
They give you the first part of the sentence, and you have to be able to identify from the possible

9
00:00:49,740 --> 00:00:51,000
answer choices.

10
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:53,580
Which one is the missing part?

11
00:00:53,790 --> 00:00:55,740
You have to read the passage.

12
00:00:55,890 --> 00:00:59,400
You have to read the matching sentences in the passage for that question.

13
00:00:59,640 --> 00:01:06,930
And after doing that, determine which answer choice paraphrases the missing part to the question.

14
00:01:08,190 --> 00:01:12,720
We have to identify the key words always go with what's easiest to do.

15
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:19,890
First, read the matching sentences and then apply that answer strategy that I just referenced.

16
00:01:22,990 --> 00:01:27,550
So coming up next, we're going to go ahead and take a look at a full passage application.

17
00:01:28,030 --> 00:01:31,570
We will work on scanning and answer application.

18
00:01:33,340 --> 00:01:41,140
This one comes from Cambridge Book seven test for part two, and it's referred to as The Endless Harvest.

19
00:01:41,260 --> 00:01:43,450
So please get your book seven.

20
00:01:43,930 --> 00:01:50,410
Open up the test for part two and get ready to join me in going through this analysis.

21
00:01:51,970 --> 00:01:58,660
You can see the reading passage starting on the left hand side, continuing on the right and below we

22
00:01:58,660 --> 00:02:01,420
have our sentence completion question.

23
00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:11,440
We have the questions right here 21 through 26 and choices A through K represent possible missing parts

24
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:12,910
of each sentence.

25
00:02:13,510 --> 00:02:19,600
So we have number 21 that says in Alaska, biologists keep a check on adult fish.

26
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:28,270
Now, based on what the matching sentences say for this question, you have to decide which one of these

27
00:02:28,270 --> 00:02:31,810
answer choices paraphrases that information.

28
00:02:33,730 --> 00:02:37,240
For number 22, it says Biologists have the authority.

29
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:45,730
So you have to look in the passage and find where they talk about biologists and their authority.

30
00:02:45,750 --> 00:02:52,410
And when you read that information, determine which of these answer choices paraphrases that missing

31
00:02:52,410 --> 00:02:53,130
information.

32
00:02:57,430 --> 00:03:03,970
Let's move forward and identify the key words of the questions under time conditions.

33
00:03:03,970 --> 00:03:06,370
So get your stopwatch ready, please.

34
00:03:09,560 --> 00:03:15,350
Your books would be open to Cambridge Book seven tests for part two Endless Harvest.

35
00:03:15,740 --> 00:03:18,720
I want you to set your clock for 45 seconds.

36
00:03:18,740 --> 00:03:26,960
Stop the lecture and please find the key words for numbers for numbers 21 through 26 right now.

37
00:03:32,590 --> 00:03:47,890
For 21 biologist and adult fish for number 22 biologist and authority for 23 Seasonal Abundance based

38
00:03:47,890 --> 00:03:55,990
management and Salmon Fisheries for number 24 Marine Stewardship Council.

39
00:03:56,560 --> 00:04:09,370
25 Result of the collapse 1999 and State decided for 26th September 2000 MSC allowed and seven.

40
00:04:11,340 --> 00:04:17,520
So when you look at this, you have to be able to decide, well, which question is the easiest to do

41
00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:18,390
first?

42
00:04:19,110 --> 00:04:23,490
Which question should I tackle first or should I scan for first?

43
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:32,940
I would probably start with being able to look for number 24 because that's going to place me squarely

44
00:04:32,940 --> 00:04:33,840
in the middle.

45
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:40,980
And I'll know that 23, 22 and 21 are above that, and 25 and 26 are below.

46
00:04:41,850 --> 00:04:49,110
And this language, Marine Stewardship Council, is going to be very easy to locate, and they indicate

47
00:04:49,110 --> 00:04:52,980
that it might be found under the acronym MSC.

48
00:04:53,850 --> 00:04:56,190
So I would probably start with that one.

49
00:04:59,690 --> 00:05:05,780
It's your opportunity now to find the key word matching sentences in the passage.

50
00:05:06,140 --> 00:05:08,810
So please set your timer for 3 minutes.

51
00:05:10,340 --> 00:05:13,340
What you're going to do is stop the lecture.

52
00:05:13,580 --> 00:05:16,040
Make sure your clock is set for 3 minutes.

53
00:05:16,070 --> 00:05:22,490
Start the timer and then locate the matching sentences for numbers 21 through 26.

54
00:05:30,470 --> 00:05:36,710
So you should be looking at the passage and you can see my passage here on my screen.

55
00:05:37,220 --> 00:05:44,690
Set your timer for 3 minutes and find the matching sentences, all the matching sentences for 21 through

56
00:05:44,690 --> 00:05:45,770
26.

57
00:05:45,800 --> 00:05:47,120
Do that now, please.

58
00:05:53,110 --> 00:05:58,720
Were you able to locate the matching sentences under the three minute time maximum?

59
00:06:03,850 --> 00:06:10,320
Number 21 is located right here where it talks about biologists and adult fish.

60
00:06:10,330 --> 00:06:11,770
We see that right there.

61
00:06:14,250 --> 00:06:17,220
Now for number 22.

62
00:06:18,270 --> 00:06:24,420
We're talking about biologists and this language where it talks about can put a halt to that's dealing

63
00:06:24,420 --> 00:06:25,560
with authority.

64
00:06:26,310 --> 00:06:28,200
That's paraphrasing everybody.

65
00:06:29,460 --> 00:06:33,150
Number 23 has to come after 22.

66
00:06:33,780 --> 00:06:41,370
So even though you see the language season abundance based management, even though you see that in

67
00:06:41,370 --> 00:06:46,290
the first sentence, that is not going to be where you find number 23.

68
00:06:47,100 --> 00:06:53,100
Number 23 is right here where it says this management mechanism they're testing.

69
00:06:53,100 --> 00:07:01,200
If you recognize a reference pronoun or reference language, this management mechanism refers to season

70
00:07:01,200 --> 00:07:03,100
abundance based management.

71
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:11,940
So number 23 is found in this sentence, 24, which is the one I told you I would have started with

72
00:07:11,940 --> 00:07:16,080
first, is right here with Marine Stewardship Council.

73
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:26,760
We we find it right here and now 25 we find on the other side of the screen for me and you see right

74
00:07:26,760 --> 00:07:33,540
here where it talks about salmon runs and completely collapsed.

75
00:07:34,440 --> 00:07:35,970
Completely collapsed.

76
00:07:36,420 --> 00:07:43,080
However, this is not the only sentence for number 25 because we don't have any language about what

77
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:45,000
the state decided to do.

78
00:07:45,780 --> 00:07:53,040
That means that this is an example of a question that comes from a combination of more than one sentence

79
00:07:53,340 --> 00:07:54,150
down here.

80
00:07:54,150 --> 00:07:56,610
It talks about the state react quickly.

81
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,070
Now we have a state decision.

82
00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:05,850
That means that our answer is going to most likely come from this sentence here because it's telling

83
00:08:05,850 --> 00:08:07,500
us what the state decided.

84
00:08:08,430 --> 00:08:19,020
And then 26 is found in the last paragraph where we see September 2000 and MSI and seven companies.

85
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:22,530
So 26 is going to come from those sentences there.

86
00:08:23,820 --> 00:08:24,540
All right.

87
00:08:24,570 --> 00:08:28,590
Let's go ahead and move forward on this screen.

88
00:08:28,590 --> 00:08:33,330
You can see a little bit better if you had any trouble looking at it on the previous screen.

89
00:08:33,450 --> 00:08:34,530
But you have your book.

90
00:08:34,530 --> 00:08:37,320
So I know you can see it pretty easily also in your book.

91
00:08:39,510 --> 00:08:43,330
It's now time to answer the questions under time conditions.

92
00:08:43,350 --> 00:08:45,990
So please set your timer for 4 minutes.

93
00:08:47,430 --> 00:08:49,110
I want you to stop the lecture.

94
00:08:49,560 --> 00:08:54,450
Look in your book and please answer questions 21 through 26.

95
00:08:54,630 --> 00:08:59,250
Don't forget to set your timer for 4 minutes and start it right now.

96
00:09:05,790 --> 00:09:10,830
Did you locate all of the correct answers for each question?

97
00:09:11,430 --> 00:09:12,510
Let's have a look.

98
00:09:15,150 --> 00:09:28,320
Number 21 is G, 22 is E, 23 is B, 24 is A, 25 is K.

99
00:09:28,590 --> 00:09:30,750
26 is F.

100
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,730
Let's go ahead and explain these answer choices.

101
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:46,850
So for number 21, it says there are biologists throughout the state constantly monitoring adult fish

102
00:09:46,940 --> 00:09:49,190
as they show up to spawn.

103
00:09:49,610 --> 00:09:58,790
The biologists sit in stream side counting towers, study sonar, watch from airplanes and talk to fishermen.

104
00:09:59,950 --> 00:10:07,180
So we get the idea that what the biologists are doing is keeping a check on the adult fish.

105
00:10:08,530 --> 00:10:10,000
They're keeping a check on them.

106
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:11,860
They're counting their numbers.

107
00:10:12,250 --> 00:10:15,640
They're checking how many adult fish we have.

108
00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:23,140
And they're doing it various ways through counting, through counting towers, studying sonar, watching

109
00:10:23,140 --> 00:10:28,000
from airplanes, talking to fishermen there, checking on the adult fish.

110
00:10:28,030 --> 00:10:31,540
This is where you have to be able to understand, paraphrasing everybody.

111
00:10:33,540 --> 00:10:35,760
Number 22 was really straightforward.

112
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:42,720
It says one or more field biologists in a particular area can put a halt to fishing.

113
00:10:43,500 --> 00:10:47,100
Even sport fishing can be brought to a halt.

114
00:10:47,400 --> 00:10:50,550
They're testing if you understand what the word halt means.

115
00:10:51,180 --> 00:10:56,550
And basically we get that the answer is e they can stop people fishing for sports.

116
00:10:58,040 --> 00:10:58,920
23.

117
00:10:58,940 --> 00:11:01,220
Again, fairly straightforward.

118
00:11:02,900 --> 00:11:11,030
It is this management mechanism that has allowed Alaska salmon stocks and accordingly Alaska salmon

119
00:11:11,030 --> 00:11:12,650
fisheries to prosper.

120
00:11:13,130 --> 00:11:14,720
So they've been able to grow.

121
00:11:15,230 --> 00:11:20,540
The correct answer for number 23 is definitely be to be successful.

122
00:11:20,540 --> 00:11:22,790
Prosper, be successful.

123
00:11:24,490 --> 00:11:25,570
24.

124
00:11:25,690 --> 00:11:28,480
The Marine Stewardship Council was established.

125
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:29,970
Why was it established?

126
00:11:29,980 --> 00:11:31,300
Why was it set up?

127
00:11:31,300 --> 00:11:32,680
Why was it created?

128
00:11:34,310 --> 00:11:40,820
In 1999, the Marine Stewardship Council commissioned a review of the Alaska salmon fishery.

129
00:11:41,420 --> 00:11:44,900
The council, which was founded in 1996.

130
00:11:44,900 --> 00:11:45,530
Here's what they do.

131
00:11:45,530 --> 00:11:50,450
Everybody certifies fisheries that meet high environmental standards.

132
00:11:51,170 --> 00:11:58,400
That means for number 24, the correct answer is a, to recognize fisheries that care for the environment.

133
00:11:58,400 --> 00:11:59,810
That's the missing part.

134
00:12:01,090 --> 00:12:02,380
25.

135
00:12:02,830 --> 00:12:07,930
Like I told you, for number 25, you have to look in the sentence where it talks about what the state

136
00:12:07,930 --> 00:12:10,150
decided and they tell us.

137
00:12:10,150 --> 00:12:15,700
However, the state reacted quickly, closing down all fisheries.

138
00:12:15,790 --> 00:12:16,960
Very straightforward.

139
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:20,440
The correct answer is K closed down all fisheries.

140
00:12:21,670 --> 00:12:30,430
This is why scanning is so important and why I really, really emphasize scanning in my strategy lectures.

141
00:12:30,670 --> 00:12:37,420
Because if you're not doing proper scanning and recognizing the right sentences to read, you waste

142
00:12:37,420 --> 00:12:38,860
so much time.

143
00:12:39,430 --> 00:12:46,330
Because some students would have read all this information in between these two sentences for absolutely

144
00:12:46,330 --> 00:12:54,940
no reason, all because they could not just focus on identifying the correct sentences.

145
00:12:55,810 --> 00:12:59,710
This sentence talks about collapse salmon runs.

146
00:12:59,710 --> 00:13:01,780
I read that sentence.

147
00:13:02,650 --> 00:13:04,270
This sentence below.

148
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:08,110
Has the state reacted quickly or state decision?

149
00:13:08,560 --> 00:13:11,590
You only read those sentences, everybody.

150
00:13:13,760 --> 00:13:16,850
26 is straight forward.

151
00:13:16,850 --> 00:13:25,070
Also in September 2000, MSI announced that the Alaska Salmon Fisheries qualified for certification.

152
00:13:25,430 --> 00:13:32,840
Seven companies producing Alaska salmon were immediately granted permission to display the MSC logo.

153
00:13:33,530 --> 00:13:40,610
So 26 is clearly going to be F to label their products using the MSC logo.

154
00:13:43,620 --> 00:13:50,010
Thank you very much for participating with me in this analysis of the sentence completion question.
