1
00:00:00,810 --> 00:00:02,340
All right, question analysis.

2
00:00:02,340 --> 00:00:03,330
Practice five.

3
00:00:03,330 --> 00:00:04,530
Let's keep going.

4
00:00:04,560 --> 00:00:06,060
Keep working at it.

5
00:00:06,060 --> 00:00:07,380
Keep progressing.

6
00:00:07,380 --> 00:00:11,100
Because if you get better at this, you're going to score better.

7
00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:15,290
Again, we have three questions.

8
00:00:15,300 --> 00:00:16,920
Our first question in red.

9
00:00:17,490 --> 00:00:23,310
Nowadays, there is more and more competition between older and younger people for the same job.

10
00:00:23,520 --> 00:00:25,840
What problems does this create?

11
00:00:25,860 --> 00:00:27,630
How can it be solved?

12
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:35,430
Question two In blue some people argue that companies and private individuals, rather than governments,

13
00:00:35,430 --> 00:00:38,280
should pay to clean up the pollution they produced.

14
00:00:38,310 --> 00:00:41,610
To what extent do you agree or disagree?

15
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:49,080
Question three Nowadays, people in most countries decide to have children much later in life.

16
00:00:49,110 --> 00:00:50,940
Why do they do so?

17
00:00:50,970 --> 00:00:55,800
Do the advantages of this trend outweigh the disadvantages?

18
00:00:56,040 --> 00:01:02,550
OC Pause the lecture, take a couple of minutes and do a full analysis for each question.

19
00:01:09,070 --> 00:01:09,610
All right.

20
00:01:09,610 --> 00:01:11,230
Our our first question in red.

21
00:01:11,260 --> 00:01:14,170
The general topic is about employment and jobs.

22
00:01:15,070 --> 00:01:17,680
That's the general macro topic.

23
00:01:18,820 --> 00:01:23,740
Our restrictive language is old and young, competing for the same job.

24
00:01:24,730 --> 00:01:29,230
Our direction, words, problems and solutions.

25
00:01:30,340 --> 00:01:32,320
What problems does this create?

26
00:01:32,350 --> 00:01:33,730
What solutions?

27
00:01:34,690 --> 00:01:36,070
This has two parts.

28
00:01:37,390 --> 00:01:39,070
Our middle question in blue.

29
00:01:39,490 --> 00:01:42,940
General topic pollution could be the environment.

30
00:01:43,090 --> 00:01:45,040
But general topic pollution.

31
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:47,470
The restrictive limiting language.

32
00:01:47,890 --> 00:01:51,670
Company and private responsibility, not government.

33
00:01:52,300 --> 00:01:53,050
Our direction.

34
00:01:53,050 --> 00:01:56,170
Words are to what extent of agreements you have.

35
00:01:56,740 --> 00:01:58,930
To what extent you agree or disagree?

36
00:01:59,320 --> 00:02:04,510
This can have 1 to 2 parts determining in what way you talk about it.

37
00:02:05,380 --> 00:02:09,460
So this is a to what extent question you could 100% agree.

38
00:02:09,460 --> 00:02:10,930
Then you will have one part.

39
00:02:10,990 --> 00:02:19,390
You can 100% disagree, then you will have two parts or you can mainly agree in somewhat disagree.

40
00:02:20,230 --> 00:02:22,090
There are different ways of approaching it.

41
00:02:22,720 --> 00:02:28,360
Maybe you will really agree the companies should have more responsibility than governments.

42
00:02:28,540 --> 00:02:36,070
And then you may only slightly agree that private individuals should have responsibility rather than

43
00:02:36,070 --> 00:02:36,890
governments.

44
00:02:36,910 --> 00:02:38,650
To what extent?

45
00:02:38,830 --> 00:02:40,180
To what extent?

46
00:02:40,810 --> 00:02:44,020
Third question general topic is children.

47
00:02:44,050 --> 00:02:45,190
Restrictive language.

48
00:02:45,190 --> 00:02:46,630
Having them later in life.

49
00:02:47,390 --> 00:02:49,100
Direction, words, why?

50
00:02:49,670 --> 00:02:55,040
And also more and more advantages than disadvantages.

51
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:59,510
Do the advantages outweigh two parts?

52
00:03:01,370 --> 00:03:03,500
How do students mess up these questions?

53
00:03:03,740 --> 00:03:06,050
For our first one in red.

54
00:03:06,440 --> 00:03:11,270
The main way the students fail is by talking about or writing about causes.

55
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:17,270
This essay question is not about the causes of why there is competition.

56
00:03:18,500 --> 00:03:22,940
It's also not about why young people are better at certain jobs or vice versa.

57
00:03:25,890 --> 00:03:26,790
In blue.

58
00:03:27,950 --> 00:03:33,920
Not discussing companies and private individuals will result in a lower score.

59
00:03:34,130 --> 00:03:38,840
You can't only talk about companies and not talk about private individuals.

60
00:03:39,650 --> 00:03:44,540
To what extent also failing to express to what extent you agree or disagree?

61
00:03:45,140 --> 00:03:52,850
For our final question, discussing children in any context outside of why people have them later in

62
00:03:52,850 --> 00:03:53,540
life.

63
00:03:54,410 --> 00:04:01,880
Also addressing only one part of the question or not focusing on the word outweigh.

64
00:04:03,020 --> 00:04:04,970
You're not talking about these are the advantages.

65
00:04:04,970 --> 00:04:06,470
These are the disadvantages.

66
00:04:06,500 --> 00:04:07,760
Outweigh.

67
00:04:07,790 --> 00:04:08,930
Outweigh.

68
00:04:11,900 --> 00:04:16,880
Okay, everybody, let's move forward to question analysis class practice six.

69
00:04:17,420 --> 00:04:18,630
Let's keep up the pace.

70
00:04:18,650 --> 00:04:20,180
Let's keep up the motivation.

71
00:04:20,540 --> 00:04:21,800
We have three questions.

72
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:23,150
First question in red.

73
00:04:23,780 --> 00:04:28,010
Human activities have negative effect on plant and animal species.

74
00:04:28,160 --> 00:04:31,790
Some people think is too late to do anything about this problem.

75
00:04:31,970 --> 00:04:37,130
Others believe that effective measures can still be taken to improve this situation.

76
00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:39,770
Discuss both views and give your opinion.

77
00:04:40,220 --> 00:04:47,900
Second question in blue today, more and more full time university students spend a lot of time on other

78
00:04:47,900 --> 00:04:52,670
activities rather rather than time studying.

79
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:57,860
Some people think it is essential for students to be involved in other activities.

80
00:04:57,890 --> 00:05:00,110
To what extent do you agree or disagree?

81
00:05:01,010 --> 00:05:05,120
Third question Online shopping is significantly increasing.

82
00:05:05,150 --> 00:05:07,730
What effects does this have?

83
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:11,530
What are the disadvantages and what are the job opportunities?

84
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:14,150
Stop the lecture.

85
00:05:14,180 --> 00:05:17,420
Take a couple of minutes and do a full analysis.

86
00:05:29,540 --> 00:05:29,900
Okay.

87
00:05:29,930 --> 00:05:34,940
For our first one, the general essay topic is about plants and animals.

88
00:05:35,900 --> 00:05:41,030
It's also possible you can have the general essay topic about human activities.

89
00:05:42,410 --> 00:05:43,730
It doesn't matter.

90
00:05:44,390 --> 00:05:50,380
The restrictive language doesn't change negative effects on plants and animals from human actions.

91
00:05:50,390 --> 00:05:52,130
That's the restrictive language.

92
00:05:53,540 --> 00:05:55,910
Our direction words are to discuss both.

93
00:05:56,940 --> 00:05:58,860
Views and give your opinion.

94
00:06:00,430 --> 00:06:01,870
Our second question.

95
00:06:03,780 --> 00:06:09,720
The general essay topic is about university school activities, or maybe even university is our general

96
00:06:09,720 --> 00:06:10,410
topic.

97
00:06:10,860 --> 00:06:19,020
Our limiting language is whether it's critical that students participate in outside activities, whether

98
00:06:19,020 --> 00:06:25,140
it's critical that they participate in outside activities, and then our direction words are to what

99
00:06:25,140 --> 00:06:26,040
extent?

100
00:06:26,370 --> 00:06:28,380
To what extent do you believe this?

101
00:06:28,380 --> 00:06:29,640
To what extent?

102
00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:33,240
You may not fully agree.

103
00:06:34,020 --> 00:06:39,000
You may like, 75% agree, 25% disagree.

104
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:42,120
You have to make sure that you express that in your writing.

105
00:06:43,080 --> 00:06:48,210
For our third question, the general topic is online shopping.

106
00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:51,210
The restrictive or limiting language deals with increasing?

107
00:06:51,210 --> 00:06:52,410
That is increasing.

108
00:06:53,640 --> 00:06:58,830
You have three parts here the effects, disadvantages and jobs created.

109
00:06:58,860 --> 00:07:01,650
Now, some people may look at it and say, hey.

110
00:07:02,870 --> 00:07:04,850
Aren't the disadvantages the effects?

111
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:06,590
No, not necessarily.

112
00:07:06,620 --> 00:07:09,140
First they ask you about effects.

113
00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:11,990
Just what are the effects?

114
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:14,930
Then they're asking you to tell.

115
00:07:15,020 --> 00:07:16,850
Talk about disadvantages.

116
00:07:20,270 --> 00:07:24,370
How do students mess up the question for our first one?

117
00:07:24,380 --> 00:07:27,500
Not understanding the reference of this problem.

118
00:07:27,500 --> 00:07:33,710
In this situation that we're talking about, we're talking about negative effects of human activities

119
00:07:33,710 --> 00:07:35,120
on plants and animals.

120
00:07:36,140 --> 00:07:39,770
Also do not talk about positive effects.

121
00:07:40,160 --> 00:07:47,720
We're not talking about positive effects and finally, not discussing plants and animals.

122
00:07:48,710 --> 00:07:55,880
For our middle question, if you discuss spending time with anything but activities, you will get a

123
00:07:55,880 --> 00:07:56,930
lower score.

124
00:07:56,990 --> 00:08:00,220
Changing this into a discuss both sides question.

125
00:08:00,230 --> 00:08:01,700
You will get a lower score.

126
00:08:01,730 --> 00:08:03,830
It's not a discuss both sides question.

127
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:14,180
You have to talk about to what extent you agree or disagree is not a balanced discussion and then also

128
00:08:14,180 --> 00:08:18,920
failing to show subject specific vocabulary around the word activities.

129
00:08:19,670 --> 00:08:25,040
This question opens it up for you to be able to show the extent and range of your vocabulary.

130
00:08:26,090 --> 00:08:32,660
For number three, changing the question or disputing that online shopping is significantly increasing.

131
00:08:33,290 --> 00:08:35,170
They're telling you that it is.

132
00:08:35,180 --> 00:08:38,810
You're not going to write about it and say, I disagree that it's increasing.

133
00:08:39,740 --> 00:08:43,520
Also, address all three parts of the question.

134
00:08:49,610 --> 00:08:50,070
Okay.

135
00:08:50,090 --> 00:08:52,490
Question Analysis class practice seven.

136
00:08:53,750 --> 00:08:55,760
We have three questions in front of us.

137
00:08:56,660 --> 00:08:57,760
First one in red.

138
00:08:57,770 --> 00:09:03,350
In the modern world, the image is becoming a more powerful way of communicating than the written word.

139
00:09:03,590 --> 00:09:05,900
To what extent do you agree or disagree?

140
00:09:06,530 --> 00:09:12,620
Question Too many people today communicate using mobile phones and computers, and this has affected

141
00:09:12,620 --> 00:09:14,540
their need to meet face to face.

142
00:09:14,810 --> 00:09:19,580
Do the advantages advantages of this development outweigh its disadvantages?

143
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:25,310
Give reasons for your answer and include relevant examples from your knowledge or experience.

144
00:09:25,550 --> 00:09:30,110
Question three Many cities are replacing cars with bicycles.

145
00:09:30,290 --> 00:09:32,120
What are the reasons for this?

146
00:09:32,150 --> 00:09:33,780
Which do you think is better?

147
00:09:33,800 --> 00:09:34,420
OC.

148
00:09:35,780 --> 00:09:36,950
Stop the lecture.

149
00:09:37,400 --> 00:09:42,500
Take a couple of minutes and do a full question analysis for all three of these questions.

150
00:09:55,540 --> 00:10:01,570
So for our first one in red, the general topic is about communication.

151
00:10:02,440 --> 00:10:07,060
The restrictive language is about images being more powerful than words.

152
00:10:07,780 --> 00:10:08,530
Our direction.

153
00:10:08,530 --> 00:10:09,580
Words are again.

154
00:10:09,580 --> 00:10:10,960
To what extent?

155
00:10:11,380 --> 00:10:12,760
To what extent?

156
00:10:14,070 --> 00:10:18,180
For our second question, the general topic is phone computer communication.

157
00:10:18,810 --> 00:10:22,740
Our limiting language is affecting the need for face to face.

158
00:10:23,700 --> 00:10:28,050
Our direction words are advantages over disadvantages.

159
00:10:29,170 --> 00:10:33,760
And then our general essay topic for the third one, bicycles.

160
00:10:34,740 --> 00:10:36,270
Our restrictive language.

161
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:38,700
Bicycles being bicycles.

162
00:10:38,700 --> 00:10:40,110
Replacing cars.

163
00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:41,100
Our direction.

164
00:10:41,100 --> 00:10:41,550
Words.

165
00:10:41,550 --> 00:10:42,160
Why?

166
00:10:42,180 --> 00:10:43,020
Which is better?

167
00:10:43,020 --> 00:10:43,980
Two parts here.

168
00:10:47,230 --> 00:10:52,840
For the first question, not restricting the question to the words modern world.

169
00:10:53,500 --> 00:10:54,960
We're not talking about the past.

170
00:10:54,970 --> 00:11:01,030
We're not talking about the future, discussing something outside of communication.

171
00:11:02,920 --> 00:11:04,690
Outside of communication.

172
00:11:05,390 --> 00:11:08,660
Or discussing something outside of the written word.

173
00:11:08,690 --> 00:11:11,300
We're not talking about the spoken word

174
00:11:14,030 --> 00:11:15,410
for the second one.

175
00:11:15,410 --> 00:11:21,410
Discussing why mobile communication is better than face to face would not be a proper response.

176
00:11:21,620 --> 00:11:23,510
That's not what we're talking about.

177
00:11:24,930 --> 00:11:25,190
All right.

178
00:11:25,190 --> 00:11:31,130
Also, keep in mind about outweigh and finally, look at this question in blue.

179
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:37,340
It says, include relevant examples from your knowledge and experience.

180
00:11:37,640 --> 00:11:44,510
If you don't include relevant examples, then your answer will be incomplete.

181
00:11:45,380 --> 00:11:45,890
Now what?

182
00:11:45,890 --> 00:11:48,600
You don't don't make up studies and all that kind of stuff.

183
00:11:48,620 --> 00:11:50,210
That's not what they're talking about.

184
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:53,690
A study in 1960 show Don't Make Up Stuff.

185
00:11:55,490 --> 00:11:57,410
Now for the third question.

186
00:11:57,710 --> 00:12:02,870
You're not supposed to agree with the stated fact that cities are replacing cars with bikes.

187
00:12:02,870 --> 00:12:04,190
That's a stated fact.

188
00:12:05,200 --> 00:12:05,480
Right.

189
00:12:05,510 --> 00:12:12,470
Restrict yourself to the reasons and also make a choice about which do you think is better?

190
00:12:13,850 --> 00:12:20,200
Is it better to replace them, replace cars with bicycles or not?

191
00:12:20,210 --> 00:12:20,990
Which is better?

192
00:12:20,990 --> 00:12:21,980
Which is better?

193
00:12:24,590 --> 00:12:27,560
OC and finally, class practice eight.

194
00:12:30,030 --> 00:12:32,130
We have three questions in front of us.

195
00:12:32,610 --> 00:12:34,020
Question one in red.

196
00:12:34,320 --> 00:12:37,830
Some people believe that nowadays we have too many choices.

197
00:12:37,950 --> 00:12:41,010
To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

198
00:12:41,460 --> 00:12:47,340
Question two Living in a country where you have to speak a foreign language can cause serious social

199
00:12:47,340 --> 00:12:51,390
problems as well as practical problems.

200
00:12:51,420 --> 00:12:54,300
To what extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

201
00:12:54,330 --> 00:12:59,550
Question three Nowadays, more and more people read news on the Internet.

202
00:12:59,730 --> 00:13:07,170
Nevertheless, newspapers will remain an important source of news and information for the majority of

203
00:13:07,170 --> 00:13:07,890
people.

204
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:10,500
Do you agree or disagree with this statement?

205
00:13:10,890 --> 00:13:11,520
All right.

206
00:13:11,670 --> 00:13:12,930
Pause the lecture.

207
00:13:13,350 --> 00:13:16,830
Take a couple of minutes and do a full question analysis.

208
00:13:24,070 --> 00:13:26,980
So for question one, our general topic choices.

209
00:13:27,370 --> 00:13:28,270
Choices.

210
00:13:29,050 --> 00:13:32,290
What's the limitation to many today?

211
00:13:33,250 --> 00:13:36,880
Ask yourself, what do the words too many?

212
00:13:36,910 --> 00:13:38,950
What does that mean to many?

213
00:13:40,330 --> 00:13:40,930
Direction?

214
00:13:40,930 --> 00:13:42,040
To what extent?

215
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:43,930
One or two parts.

216
00:13:45,450 --> 00:13:46,500
In blue.

217
00:13:46,590 --> 00:13:53,880
General topic foreign language restriction resulting in social and practical problems.

218
00:13:55,090 --> 00:14:01,210
We don't talk about why it's good to learn a foreign language or the effects of learning a foreign language.

219
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:07,660
We're talking about resulting in social and practical problems having to speak a foreign language.

220
00:14:09,010 --> 00:14:11,530
Our instruction direction words are to what extent?

221
00:14:11,740 --> 00:14:13,210
And we have two parts.

222
00:14:14,470 --> 00:14:23,800
And for our last one, the general essay topic newspapers restriction still important source for majority

223
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:24,580
of people.

224
00:14:25,820 --> 00:14:26,760
Instruction words.

225
00:14:26,780 --> 00:14:27,820
Agree or disagree?

226
00:14:27,830 --> 00:14:28,820
One part.

227
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:32,920
For our first question.

228
00:14:32,920 --> 00:14:35,170
Students confuse the meaning of too many.

229
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:39,640
Too many has a negative context, not a positive context.

230
00:14:39,700 --> 00:14:45,520
It only has a negative context for our middle question in blue.

231
00:14:46,210 --> 00:14:50,590
Students make a mistake by not understanding the word practical problems.

232
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:52,100
Right.

233
00:14:52,140 --> 00:14:59,040
Not understanding practical problems, not using subject specific vocabulary related to practical problems.

234
00:14:59,670 --> 00:15:03,210
Not keeping things in the context of speaking a foreign language.

235
00:15:05,130 --> 00:15:11,070
And for our final question, the biggest error occurs by failing to realize the first sentence is about

236
00:15:11,070 --> 00:15:17,160
background information is not the question is just background information.

237
00:15:17,850 --> 00:15:22,740
You're not talking about why more people read news on the Internet.

238
00:15:22,770 --> 00:15:25,230
That's not what the question is about.

239
00:15:26,430 --> 00:15:26,850
Right.

240
00:15:26,850 --> 00:15:28,650
Stay focused on the question.

241
00:15:28,650 --> 00:15:33,650
Will newspapers remain an important source for a majority?

242
00:15:33,660 --> 00:15:35,820
Look at the word majority of people.

243
00:15:35,850 --> 00:15:37,110
Majority.

244
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:44,250
So, you know, you have to be able to stay focused and within within the context of the question.

245
00:15:45,510 --> 00:15:45,900
All right.

246
00:15:45,900 --> 00:15:50,190
So thank you so much for joining me today in this lecture.

247
00:15:50,460 --> 00:15:54,900
I really hope you understand the concept of question analysis so much better.

248
00:15:55,050 --> 00:16:01,920
It is it's an important concept that you really handle before you start writing is equally important

249
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:02,670
to outlining.

250
00:16:02,670 --> 00:16:04,080
Outlining is critical.

251
00:16:04,170 --> 00:16:07,420
And we'll be talking about that in the upcoming lectures.

252
00:16:07,440 --> 00:16:09,990
Have a great day and I'll talk to you soon.
