1 00:00:01,500 --> 00:00:07,410 After reviewing the strategy for a paragraph location question, I think it's a great idea to go ahead 2 00:00:07,410 --> 00:00:15,690 and do a full passage application directly after that so that you can see the strategy being used on 3 00:00:15,690 --> 00:00:20,190 a real passage that you may have to encounter on the exam. 4 00:00:20,190 --> 00:00:22,080 So let's go ahead and do that now. 5 00:00:27,310 --> 00:00:33,140 So in terms of the strategy, you've already gone over the strategy in the previous lecture. 6 00:00:33,160 --> 00:00:38,590 What I'm going to talk about here is what makes this one of the most difficult questions. 7 00:00:39,550 --> 00:00:43,210 First of all, it's matching language. 8 00:00:43,430 --> 00:00:43,780 Right. 9 00:00:43,780 --> 00:00:45,790 There's a matching language requirement. 10 00:00:46,030 --> 00:00:53,050 This question demands that the student really understand paraphrasing and synonym word matching because 11 00:00:53,050 --> 00:00:58,840 with a paragraph location question, you are looking for specific details. 12 00:00:59,710 --> 00:01:06,010 This is different than a headings question where you're trying to look for the overall central idea 13 00:01:06,010 --> 00:01:08,170 or main idea of a paragraph. 14 00:01:08,530 --> 00:01:15,280 The paragraph location question is asking you to look at the paragraphs and be able to determine where 15 00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,370 is this specific detail referenced? 16 00:01:19,570 --> 00:01:23,290 So you have to know where to look, where to look. 17 00:01:23,320 --> 00:01:29,470 The topic sentence can help, you know, if this paragraph may possibly contain that information. 18 00:01:29,950 --> 00:01:37,450 But that detail that you're looking for is going to be in one of those sentences that follow the topic 19 00:01:37,450 --> 00:01:38,230 sentence. 20 00:01:38,620 --> 00:01:41,140 Remember, you're matching specific details. 21 00:01:41,170 --> 00:01:43,900 The question is a specific detail. 22 00:01:44,470 --> 00:01:50,110 You're searching for it in one of the paragraphs where that information or question will be paraphrased. 23 00:01:51,220 --> 00:01:54,370 Now, don't start with this question. 24 00:01:54,970 --> 00:02:03,760 For example, if you have a paragraph location question, summary question and yes, though not giving 25 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:10,000 question, then you would go ahead and do the yes, no, not giving question, then the summary question 26 00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:12,820 and finally do the paragraph location question. 27 00:02:13,480 --> 00:02:14,860 Why is this important? 28 00:02:15,460 --> 00:02:23,110 The reason why is because it gives you an opportunity to read through and go over a lot of the passage. 29 00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:28,780 And then when you return to the paragraph location question, it makes it much easier to manage. 30 00:02:31,540 --> 00:02:36,690 Coming up next, we'll go through a full passage application and we'll work on applying that answer 31 00:02:36,700 --> 00:02:37,420 strategy. 32 00:02:39,310 --> 00:02:44,950 This one comes from Cambridge Book eight, test one, part one, a chronicle of timekeeping. 33 00:02:45,100 --> 00:02:46,640 So go ahead and get your book. 34 00:02:46,660 --> 00:02:46,910 Eight. 35 00:02:46,960 --> 00:02:48,730 Open it up and let's get started. 36 00:02:52,420 --> 00:02:57,850 You can see that I have my reading passage on the left and continuing on the right hand side. 37 00:02:58,210 --> 00:03:00,340 Here we have the four questions. 38 00:03:00,460 --> 00:03:03,460 Which paragraph contains the following information? 39 00:03:04,390 --> 00:03:11,080 So you can read these where it says a description of an early timekeeping invention in affected by cold 40 00:03:11,080 --> 00:03:11,950 temperatures. 41 00:03:12,610 --> 00:03:19,420 So one thing that I want you to understand is very often they may take information from two or three 42 00:03:19,420 --> 00:03:25,090 detailed sentences in a paragraph and put those together in one sentence. 43 00:03:26,410 --> 00:03:33,400 So when you're looking at these questions, one, two, three and four is not just sentence to sentence 44 00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:34,210 matching. 45 00:03:34,930 --> 00:03:43,570 These questions have been developed or are a combination of several sentences within a paragraph. 46 00:03:43,570 --> 00:03:44,560 That's possible. 47 00:03:48,210 --> 00:03:57,210 So in this example, here we have a paragraph location question, a matching question and a diagram 48 00:03:57,210 --> 00:03:57,750 question. 49 00:03:59,360 --> 00:04:05,570 So in terms of strategy, you would do the matching, you would do the matching question and the diagram 50 00:04:05,570 --> 00:04:06,800 questions first. 51 00:04:07,340 --> 00:04:14,810 However, before tackling those questions, you would go ahead and underline circle or highlight the 52 00:04:14,810 --> 00:04:17,540 key words in questions one, two, three and four. 53 00:04:18,290 --> 00:04:24,170 You do that because when you're doing the matching question and the diagram question, you want to keep 54 00:04:24,170 --> 00:04:30,980 your eye out for if you come across any language related to early timekeeping inventions or importance 55 00:04:30,980 --> 00:04:37,760 of geography or pendulum clocks or using uniform hours, different societies. 56 00:04:38,060 --> 00:04:44,150 You want to keep an eye out for that language while you're doing the matching question or the diagram 57 00:04:44,150 --> 00:04:50,240 question that helps save you so much time when you're trying to make it through this exam. 58 00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:55,460 Answer all the questions from all three passages in under 60 minutes. 59 00:04:56,510 --> 00:05:01,140 So first of all, let's work on identifying keywords under time conditions. 60 00:05:01,160 --> 00:05:03,920 So take out your phone and get your stopwatch ready. 61 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:09,260 I want you to set your watch for 30 seconds. 62 00:05:09,410 --> 00:05:13,550 Then I want you to stop the lecture and find the keywords in questions. 63 00:05:13,550 --> 00:05:15,080 One, two, three, and four. 64 00:05:15,230 --> 00:05:16,640 Please do that now. 65 00:05:21,940 --> 00:05:22,990 For number one. 66 00:05:22,990 --> 00:05:29,290 You can see here that I have highlighted early timekeeping invention and cold temperatures. 67 00:05:29,500 --> 00:05:34,420 Number two, importance of geography calendar in farming communities. 68 00:05:34,570 --> 00:05:42,430 Number three, origins of the pendulum clock for simultaneous efforts and calculate time using uniform 69 00:05:42,430 --> 00:05:43,300 hours. 70 00:05:44,230 --> 00:05:48,810 You're going to highlight these key words, but you're not going to answer the questions. 71 00:05:48,820 --> 00:05:56,800 Remember, you're going to do the other questions first, the matching question, the paragraph location, 72 00:05:56,950 --> 00:06:03,230 the matching question, the headings question, the diagram, whatever it is you're going to do though 73 00:06:03,340 --> 00:06:07,480 that question first and then come back to the paragraph location question. 74 00:06:08,750 --> 00:06:15,320 So when you're doing the matching question and the diagram question, if you come across any of this 75 00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:21,380 keyword language and remember you're really looking for synonyms and paraphrasing, if you come across 76 00:06:21,380 --> 00:06:28,010 any paraphrasing of this language or any synonyms of this language, go ahead and Mark where you see 77 00:06:28,010 --> 00:06:34,730 that information because it's going to be so much easier and faster when you come back to this question 78 00:06:34,730 --> 00:06:36,230 and have to answer questions. 79 00:06:36,230 --> 00:06:37,490 One, two, three and four. 80 00:06:38,300 --> 00:06:48,440 One last point I want to make is that after you answer the matching question and the diagram question, 81 00:06:49,940 --> 00:06:54,560 you want to go ahead and look at which of these questions one, two, three or four you can answer right 82 00:06:54,560 --> 00:06:55,120 away. 83 00:06:58,210 --> 00:07:03,760 In addition to that, when you want to go and scan for any other questions that you have to do, let's 84 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:09,370 say, for example, you found number two and you found number three and you still need to find number 85 00:07:09,370 --> 00:07:10,510 one and four. 86 00:07:11,020 --> 00:07:15,730 Go ahead and start looking in the paragraphs that have not been used yet. 87 00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:22,450 The aisles test designers really like to use all of the paragraphs that they have. 88 00:07:23,590 --> 00:07:33,430 So I really like to go ahead and look in the paragraphs that have not been used yet and see if I see 89 00:07:33,430 --> 00:07:37,240 any of my correct answer choices in those paragraphs. 90 00:07:43,730 --> 00:07:46,130 Right now, you should open up your Cambridge book. 91 00:07:46,160 --> 00:07:53,780 Eight Test one part one a chronicle of timekeeping and you should do the matching and diagram questions 92 00:07:53,780 --> 00:07:57,090 first while doing those questions. 93 00:07:57,110 --> 00:08:00,410 Know any key words for the paragraph location question. 94 00:08:01,400 --> 00:08:07,490 On the next screen you're going to see my answers for the matching and diagram questions, and then 95 00:08:07,490 --> 00:08:13,610 you will also see where I came across obvious language matching the paragraph location question. 96 00:08:19,110 --> 00:08:25,440 So first of all, you would do the matching question and you should do this under time conditions. 97 00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:29,430 So you would set a clock for 6 minutes and do the matching question. 98 00:08:34,050 --> 00:08:37,560 Now earlier I already did this question. 99 00:08:37,560 --> 00:08:44,760 You've seen this question already in the earlier lectures when I was reviewing and going over the strategy 100 00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:51,060 lectures for the matching question did some strategy application lectures for the matching question. 101 00:08:51,060 --> 00:08:53,310 So you've seen me do this one already. 102 00:08:58,140 --> 00:08:59,730 And there we have answers. 103 00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:07,380 Then you would do the diagram question and you would set it for a timer of 5 minutes. 104 00:09:08,010 --> 00:09:13,710 Again, if you've been watching the earlier lectures, you've seen me go through this one already. 105 00:09:20,580 --> 00:09:26,190 When I was doing the matching question and diagram question, I did come across some language that jumped 106 00:09:26,190 --> 00:09:26,910 out to me. 107 00:09:27,090 --> 00:09:32,400 So, for example, in paragraph E, I see where it talks about to 12 hour periods. 108 00:09:32,430 --> 00:09:38,640 I noticed that when I was reading the sentence about French hours for one of the other questions, I 109 00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:44,850 believe it was the matching question and also for paragraph F and G. 110 00:09:44,940 --> 00:09:48,030 We can see the word pendulum and pendulum clock. 111 00:09:48,690 --> 00:09:56,700 So this tells me that number four is most likely in paragraph E and number three is going to be either 112 00:09:56,700 --> 00:09:58,620 in paragraph F or G. 113 00:09:58,890 --> 00:10:01,650 I just need to look for language related to origin. 114 00:10:02,370 --> 00:10:06,960 So this is really, really important, very important to everybody. 115 00:10:06,990 --> 00:10:14,310 You can see that while doing the other question types, I came across language related to the paragraph 116 00:10:14,310 --> 00:10:15,510 location question. 117 00:10:15,750 --> 00:10:20,100 So now I only have really two questions to answer now. 118 00:10:24,560 --> 00:10:26,600 It's time to answer all the questions. 119 00:10:26,600 --> 00:10:33,020 And as I just stated, two of the two of the questions, I pretty much already know where they are located. 120 00:10:35,310 --> 00:10:41,580 What I want you to do is set your timer for 6 minutes and you're going to go ahead and answer all of 121 00:10:41,580 --> 00:10:42,630 the questions. 122 00:10:43,140 --> 00:10:50,010 If you've done like me and you have found some of the language while doing the other questions, you're 123 00:10:50,010 --> 00:10:52,920 going to need less than 6 minutes. 124 00:10:53,460 --> 00:10:57,090 It may only take you two or 3 minutes to do all the questions. 125 00:10:57,930 --> 00:10:59,760 So let's go ahead and do that right now. 126 00:11:01,290 --> 00:11:02,730 Please stop the lecture. 127 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:04,770 Go to your book and answer questions. 128 00:11:04,770 --> 00:11:06,210 One, two, three and four. 129 00:11:14,200 --> 00:11:16,150 Let's go ahead and check those answers. 130 00:11:20,740 --> 00:11:22,540 Now before I do that. 131 00:11:23,020 --> 00:11:28,300 Did you remember to scan the paragraphs that had not been used yet? 132 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:37,210 Earlier in this lecture I mentioned that I told you, hey, after doing the matching question and also 133 00:11:37,210 --> 00:11:43,810 the diagram question, and you want to find any of these answers on the paragraph location question, 134 00:11:44,290 --> 00:11:47,620 check the paragraphs that have not been used yet. 135 00:11:48,250 --> 00:11:53,850 The aisles test designers like to use all the paragraphs if possible. 136 00:11:53,860 --> 00:11:56,380 They don't always do it, but they like to. 137 00:12:03,780 --> 00:12:06,570 Number one, the answer is the number two. 138 00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:07,860 The answer is B. 139 00:12:08,010 --> 00:12:10,710 Number three, the answer is F, number four. 140 00:12:10,740 --> 00:12:12,000 The answer is E. 141 00:12:13,230 --> 00:12:14,340 First for number one. 142 00:12:14,340 --> 00:12:19,190 If we look in paragraph DX, it says Inventors create a sundials. 143 00:12:19,200 --> 00:12:21,420 That's an early timekeeping invention. 144 00:12:21,660 --> 00:12:24,010 And at the bottom, they talk about freezing weather. 145 00:12:24,030 --> 00:12:26,580 That is a reference for cold temperatures. 146 00:12:26,730 --> 00:12:30,750 Like I told you, they can pull information from want more than one sentence. 147 00:12:31,140 --> 00:12:33,570 Number two is paragraph B. 148 00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:37,990 So we're looking at paragraph B, it talks about being near the equator. 149 00:12:38,010 --> 00:12:39,270 That's geography. 150 00:12:39,570 --> 00:12:43,080 We see also seasonal agriculture. 151 00:12:44,310 --> 00:12:49,320 We look and see northern climate that's talking about geography. 152 00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:53,130 Also, calendars were developed. 153 00:12:53,670 --> 00:12:56,340 Seasonal agriculture relates to farming. 154 00:12:56,700 --> 00:13:01,350 So this information for number two is mentioned in paragraph B. 155 00:13:03,150 --> 00:13:04,790 Three is very straightforward. 156 00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:09,310 It is F and they tell us when that pendulum clock was built. 157 00:13:09,330 --> 00:13:11,490 So that's talking about the origins of it. 158 00:13:12,810 --> 00:13:17,100 And then finally, for number four, again, very straightforward. 159 00:13:17,250 --> 00:13:19,800 Simultaneous efforts of different societies. 160 00:13:19,800 --> 00:13:24,510 They mention the French, they mentioned the German, the Germans. 161 00:13:24,930 --> 00:13:28,200 They talk about calculating, using uniform hours. 162 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:30,460 We could see 212 hour periods. 163 00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:32,160 I pointed that out to you earlier. 164 00:13:32,310 --> 00:13:35,130 And also 24 equal parts. 165 00:13:35,490 --> 00:13:39,480 So we know this paragraph has information about equal hours. 166 00:13:39,480 --> 00:13:41,730 We also see it in the topic sentence. 167 00:13:44,680 --> 00:13:46,000 Thank you so much. 168 00:13:46,030 --> 00:13:49,300 I know the paragraph location question can be a challenge. 169 00:13:49,780 --> 00:13:55,750 I hope you'll understand a little bit better about how to manage this question type on the exam. 170 00:13:55,780 --> 00:13:56,830 Thanks a lot.
