1 00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:07,710 After that first strategy application lecture for the matching question, you should have a really good 2 00:00:07,740 --> 00:00:11,040 hold on how to manage this question type. 3 00:00:11,430 --> 00:00:17,550 So let's go ahead and do one more so we can really make sure you fully understand doing an excellent 4 00:00:17,550 --> 00:00:20,640 job with the matching question for the exam. 5 00:00:24,430 --> 00:00:27,850 We already know in terms of the strategy for the matching question. 6 00:00:28,390 --> 00:00:35,050 This question really involves you matching a name or a subject matter with a question. 7 00:00:35,710 --> 00:00:45,100 And what you have to do is locate that name or that subject in the reading passage, realizing that 8 00:00:45,100 --> 00:00:47,590 the name or subject may appear more than once. 9 00:00:47,980 --> 00:00:54,190 So you have to read the sentence or sentences what is said, and then pick which one of the questions 10 00:00:54,430 --> 00:00:57,070 it could possibly, possibly be a match for. 11 00:00:57,970 --> 00:00:58,780 That's it. 12 00:00:58,810 --> 00:01:00,880 It's not more complicated than that. 13 00:01:01,150 --> 00:01:06,730 What makes this question a challenge is that you have to be able to understand paraphrasing. 14 00:01:07,660 --> 00:01:10,600 That's what really makes this question a challenge. 15 00:01:11,230 --> 00:01:17,410 If you could understand paraphrasing and what I mean by that reading, what is in the passage and then 16 00:01:17,410 --> 00:01:22,690 locating which one of the questions is a paraphrase for that information? 17 00:01:26,020 --> 00:01:33,550 Let's go ahead and do a full passage application and work on our ability to locate the name, read the 18 00:01:33,550 --> 00:01:38,650 matching sentences, and then decide which is the proper paraphrase. 19 00:01:38,650 --> 00:01:42,970 Which question matches that information in the passage. 20 00:01:43,540 --> 00:01:51,310 Keep in mind that most of the time you're going to have more answer possibilities than questions. 21 00:01:51,460 --> 00:01:59,050 So you might have four questions and six or seven possibilities in terms of names and categories. 22 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:07,890 This one is coming from Cambridge Book eight, TESS One Part one A Chronicle of timekeeping. 23 00:02:10,710 --> 00:02:14,220 We can see the passage beginning on the left, ending on the right. 24 00:02:14,340 --> 00:02:16,280 And right here we have the matching question. 25 00:02:16,290 --> 00:02:22,770 We have the categories here, Babylonians, Egyptians, Greeks, English, Germans, French. 26 00:02:23,970 --> 00:02:27,000 And then below we have the questions five, six, seven and eight. 27 00:02:27,510 --> 00:02:36,230 So clearly, some of these categories will not be chosen and you cannot use a category more than once. 28 00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:39,810 The only way you can do that is if the instructions say you can. 29 00:02:43,310 --> 00:02:47,030 Identifying the key words with the matching question involves two parts. 30 00:02:47,510 --> 00:02:50,570 You have to, of course, identify the answer choices. 31 00:02:50,570 --> 00:02:51,950 Babylonians, Egyptians. 32 00:02:51,950 --> 00:02:52,640 Greeks. 33 00:02:53,450 --> 00:02:56,840 Also, you want to identify the keywords and the questions. 34 00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:02,360 So within this 45 seconds that you're going to set the timer for, I want you to do both. 35 00:03:02,750 --> 00:03:09,710 So please stop the lecture now and identify the keywords in the answer choices and the questions. 36 00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:17,950 Identifying the keywords in the answer choices is really easy. 37 00:03:19,360 --> 00:03:26,920 However, when it comes to the questions, you should have identified the word devised civil calendar 38 00:03:26,920 --> 00:03:29,380 and equal in length for number five. 39 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:31,840 For number six, divide it. 40 00:03:31,840 --> 00:03:33,940 Day two Equal halves. 41 00:03:34,270 --> 00:03:38,590 Seven New Cabinet shape timekeeper. 42 00:03:38,590 --> 00:03:43,240 Eight Calendar Organize public events and work schedules. 43 00:03:44,380 --> 00:03:48,130 You will scan for the words highlighted in blue in the passage. 44 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:51,640 Those words will help you find the matching sentences. 45 00:03:51,940 --> 00:03:53,920 They're very easy to locate. 46 00:03:54,520 --> 00:04:01,300 The words or keywords that are highlighted in yellow will help you to identify if when we read about 47 00:04:01,300 --> 00:04:07,600 Babylonians, if that language is a match for any of those questions five, six, seven or eight. 48 00:04:09,190 --> 00:04:13,630 Let's move forward and scan for the matching keywords in the passage. 49 00:04:13,960 --> 00:04:16,600 You're going to set your timer for 2 minutes. 50 00:04:19,840 --> 00:04:24,700 We're going to scan the passage and locate the matching sentences in the passage. 51 00:04:25,030 --> 00:04:28,720 We're scanning for the words in blue, everybody in blue. 52 00:04:29,500 --> 00:04:36,430 So after we move to the next screen, look in your book and scan the passage for the matching sentences. 53 00:04:36,700 --> 00:04:40,000 Set your timer on 2 minutes and do that now. 54 00:04:46,750 --> 00:04:49,150 Let's see if you locate the matching sentences. 55 00:04:52,100 --> 00:05:00,410 Right here we see Babylonians, Egyptians, Egyptians, Greeks, Babylonian, Germany, four Germans, 56 00:05:00,410 --> 00:05:02,810 French and England, four English. 57 00:05:02,810 --> 00:05:07,070 Where the information is going to come from is really not complicated. 58 00:05:07,670 --> 00:05:16,730 Like I told you earlier, the main challenge with a matching question is your ability to recognize paraphrasing. 59 00:05:17,030 --> 00:05:19,760 That's what they're testing with this question type. 60 00:05:21,180 --> 00:05:24,330 That's what they're testing with a paragraph location question. 61 00:05:24,660 --> 00:05:27,300 That's what they're testing with a headings question. 62 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:34,860 Those questions specifically are testing a student's ability to recognize paraphrasing. 63 00:05:35,990 --> 00:05:39,620 So finding where Babylonians is located is really easy. 64 00:05:41,500 --> 00:05:50,200 Also from a strategic standpoint, I would go ahead and read the names that only appear once first. 65 00:05:51,050 --> 00:05:55,880 Then maybe I'll read Babylonians and Egyptians last because they appear two times. 66 00:05:59,750 --> 00:06:01,790 Is now time to answer the questions. 67 00:06:01,790 --> 00:06:04,400 So set your timer for 4 minutes, please. 68 00:06:07,710 --> 00:06:08,310 By now. 69 00:06:08,310 --> 00:06:10,620 You should have your timer set on for minutes. 70 00:06:11,010 --> 00:06:14,850 I want you to stop the lecture and please answer questions. 71 00:06:14,850 --> 00:06:16,740 5 to 8 right now. 72 00:06:18,560 --> 00:06:19,640 Did you find the question? 73 00:06:19,640 --> 00:06:20,390 Answers. 74 00:06:20,510 --> 00:06:21,530 Let's have a look. 75 00:06:25,060 --> 00:06:35,110 Number five, the correct answer is B, number six is F, seven is D, eight is A. 76 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:44,980 Let's do an analysis and determine why these are the correct answer choices for number five. 77 00:06:45,280 --> 00:06:51,190 It says they devised a civil calendar in which the months were equal in length. 78 00:06:52,300 --> 00:06:54,250 The correct answer for that is B. 79 00:06:55,210 --> 00:07:01,480 And so when we look at the Babylonians, we look at the Babylonians, when we look at the Egyptians, 80 00:07:02,020 --> 00:07:04,090 we can read and see what they said. 81 00:07:05,190 --> 00:07:13,200 It says the Egyptians had formulated a municipal calendar having 12 months of 30 days. 82 00:07:14,230 --> 00:07:16,960 12 months of 30 days. 83 00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:23,140 So that would be a calendar in which the months were equal in length. 84 00:07:24,550 --> 00:07:30,280 Now for number six, they divided the day into two equal halves. 85 00:07:30,880 --> 00:07:33,310 The correct answer is F for French. 86 00:07:34,060 --> 00:07:38,650 We can see right there that French just happens to be also the letter F. 87 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:42,810 So let's go and find what they say about the French. 88 00:07:44,110 --> 00:07:52,270 Eventually these were superseded by small clock or French hours, which split the day into 212 hour 89 00:07:52,270 --> 00:07:53,200 periods. 90 00:07:53,680 --> 00:07:56,560 So that's a match for two equal halves. 91 00:07:57,310 --> 00:08:02,860 Now, number seven, they developed a new cabinet shape for a timekeeper. 92 00:08:03,130 --> 00:08:04,810 This is D for England. 93 00:08:06,490 --> 00:08:14,590 We see right here, the earliest recorded weight driven mechanical clock was built in 1283 in Bedfordshire, 94 00:08:14,710 --> 00:08:16,000 in England. 95 00:08:16,450 --> 00:08:22,720 This revolutionary aspect of this new timekeeper right here, we know that the correct answer for number 96 00:08:22,720 --> 00:08:24,070 seven is DX. 97 00:08:25,390 --> 00:08:31,720 And then for eight, they created a calendar to organize public events and work schedules. 98 00:08:32,080 --> 00:08:35,200 This answer is a Babylonians. 99 00:08:36,650 --> 00:08:43,010 We can see right here, it says Babylonians began to measure time introducing calendars to coordinate 100 00:08:43,010 --> 00:08:44,450 communal activities. 101 00:08:45,870 --> 00:08:48,930 Communal activities are public events. 102 00:08:49,890 --> 00:08:57,420 It also says that they planned out the shipment of goods, which is a work schedule, and also regulated 103 00:08:57,420 --> 00:09:00,570 the planting of harvesting and planting. 104 00:09:00,990 --> 00:09:03,180 So that is a work schedule. 105 00:09:04,120 --> 00:09:08,290 So you have to be able to understand synonyms and paraphrasing everybody. 106 00:09:08,320 --> 00:09:12,520 That's what really is the challenging part of doing this question. 107 00:09:13,180 --> 00:09:20,470 The correct answer is, again, five is B, six is F, seven is D, eight is A. 108 00:09:22,430 --> 00:09:24,110 Thank you so much for joining me. 109 00:09:24,140 --> 00:09:27,140 Have a fantastic day and keep studying hard.
