reading will help you to improve your reading skills strategies fluency vocabulary so it's good to hang in there and practice with us tomorrow uh we'll do speaking part two with members and then speaking part three with everyone so it's two classes of speaking uh tomorrow now let's get into today's reading passage this is coming from new exams that we are working on for 2021 we'll be releasing them sometime in the middle ish of the year developing exams right now for ielts for everybody is tricky as well because of the pandemic of course it's hard to bring together the necessary people to make these exams so that's another challenging part not just taking the exam but making the exam as well i'm sure as many of you can imagine okay so here we go this is the title of this passage german and english differences in similarities i think a couple months ago we looked at this so some of you might have seen it once which is great i always encourage students to go back and read one passage at least twice okay it's a really good study strategy a lot of times students they always just go to newer and newer passages it's not the best idea it's a really good idea to go back and revisit a passage a couple months after you have done it so here we go revisiting this uh passage uh german and english differences and similarities all right um what's going on there so what uh what does this title tell us when you read the title and you should always read the title of a reading passage your first question should always be what kind of information can i think about that's relevant to this so german and english similarities and differences okay um so what do you think why why does the author give this title what's the logic here so why give this title what do you think okay what's the logic here surya says it's part of a language family yeah which language family do you think it is sir yeah so all right part of a language family uh ferdov says because they're from one family yeah i'm not sure if anybody's looked into this but because english is a germanic language in fact modern english is a mix is yeah i'd say mostly a mix of german and french okay so that's where english gets its roots from so what does that mean what's gonna be similar what's gonna be different okay and why so here first we're thinking about the what okay so it's part of a language family now we're thinking about the why so why do you think why is um why is english similar to german anybody know that but she says western germanic language okay maybe so why this is kind of interesting especially since of course all of you are studying english so pachu says it has something to do with the anglo-saxon period yeah uh sandeep says their ancestral users are the same or similar yeah so yeah and the anglo-saxons they originate from most of them from the german region so if we go back in history there's a group of germans or german tribe a germanic tribe prussian tribe that went uh west and uh ended up in what is today uh great britain so yeah okay so how are they the same how are english and german the same how are they going to be the same and i think a couple of you already said this okay you said vocabulary grammar meanwhile yash daram says thank you sir i got 7.5 in my ielts because of your videos yash you got the 7.5 because you're a brilliant person you've been working really hard and i'm happy that i could be a part of that journey and help you with our products and our videos so thank you josh for sharing your score and good luck in your next steps okay keep it up keep being ambitious keep being a hard worker and life will reward you all right so how are these languages the same elder says same letters same handwriting yeah same letters same type of literary rules similar grammar similar vocabulary uh how do you think they're different from your own knowledge how are these languages different i'm sure there's probably some different vocabulary okay uh what else could be different so vocabulary is different oh yeah there we go unknown female says their uh pronunciation is probably different yeah if you've ever heard german definitely sounds different than english pronunciation and um phonetics yeah the accent sure okay yeah so that's different some of the grammar is probably different too right okay good we are all on the right track so great so those are all of the ideas coming into our mind as we are preparing to read this happens very quickly so this kind of inferencing from the title it's called inferencing from the title very important to do this for those high bands so this kind of inferencing from the title happens in about 15 20 seconds at most okay another student who has scored very well excellent eight in reading and 7.5 in writing that is fantastic mahadeep good job you're very welcome mehadeep please send me a testimonial also the previous student yash please yash also send me a testimonial send it to the email okay so whenever students get some great scores on the ielts we love to hear their testimonials and if students don't get a good score on the outs we love to hear from you too and we want to help you we want to help you get these high scores it's possible as you can see students come back all the time in these live classes with some great news so josh mchade please send me uh your email your testimonial and we'd love to have you on our website with our other success stories uh you can always send your testimonials and your questions here adrian a help dot com okay all right back to the point uh so we've inferenced some good information let's take a quick look at the questions see if they can reveal some more information for us all right thank you mahadeep okay um so here we go uh first set of questions it's reading passage has seven paragraphs a to g uh which paragraph contains the following information so matching information to the right paragraph this type of question it's virtually impossible to skim or scan for why why would you not want to skim read or scan for this kind of a question where you have to match information to the paragraph it's a bad strategy and i keep emphasizing this because i know so many students try to just match words to the passage and find answers but you can't do that for a lot of the questions matching information to paragraphs why can you not do skim reading or scanning for this and that's why it's a popular question because ielts doesn't want you to just skim read they want you to read and answer so abhishek says what can be from anywhere in the passage so it's not in a sequence right abhishek so it's going to take a lot of time if this first sentence the development of english beyond its language antecedents if this is in the last paragraph skim reading the whole passage to get one answer correct that's crazy talk okay that's way too time taking okay um pachu says it's because oftentimes the words don't match but the meaning is matching yeah exactly puts you so if you're skim reading for the meaning you're basically just reading right so because of paraphrasing right so it doesn't work exactly but these kinds of questions can give you a little bit of information from the passage because they're all in the passage so it's good to read them okay reading them and paraphrasing them is good practice so the development of english beyond its language antecedents so the advancement of english after its parent languages or language roots could be another way to say it so the development of english beyond its language antecedents advancements of or advancement of english after its parent language or languages language that could be good okay nishan and other students if i if i don't see what you're asking or writing just send me an email okay all right uh okay uh number 28 an example of english literature being similar to german in the past so a sample of english what's another way to write literature what's another way to write similar okay uh what's another way to write past give me some ideas here so when you're practicing these kinds of questions at home one good step is just like what i'm doing right now paraphrase so think of some other ways to express these ideas okay i'm read saying watch this video and that you will have lots of information on how to improve your reading uh okay abhishek says instead of literature we can just say writing yeah sure so a sample of english writing okay by the way these double kind of uh apostrophes here just means the same word english okay so a sample of english writing being similar instead of being similar we could say resembling right so resembling being similar to german okay let's see if anybody got in old times by pershiva sure in old times why not uh abhishek says alike kriti mishra says alike too yeah um yeah in earlier history sure that works okay so that's the kind of paraphrasing that we want to do number 29 a key linguistic distinction in the naming of certain foods an important language difference in the words used for some food okay difficulties in english pronunciation uh in uh speaking or saying english words okay good so here we're paraphrasing and we can also see that some of this information is synonymous to our prediction about what was in the passage or what would be in the passage based on the title right great okay here we have summary completion uh again we can read this it's all somewhere in the passage so let's do this this is reading so read with me and if you have the chance if you're not sitting at your office desk in a cubicle right now and you're not going to get in trouble from your boss then read aloud so read with me and read aloud okay all right um so here we go two languages split in two by another german and english have a common ancestor known as proto-germanic this language was spoken by people in europe thousands of years ago because of this english and german are considered something languages sister languages brother languages relative languages we'll find out however there are also certain differences number of differences significant we'll find out between the two languages despite their common heritage though the english of 1500 years ago was similar to german the french-speaking norman conquest of britain in 1066 something the english language changed influenced altered we'll find out all of a sudden french words flooded into the country in its people's speech this french influence is the source of the divergence between words like cow and beef however one word that did not follow this trend was okay we'll discover that soon enough since its french equivalent looked like a negative sounding english word while the french influence on english is clear most of the most common words in english are still germanic many words are even spoken similarly that is their something is roughly the same word order is one point of difference for german and english so there's that grammatical difference a key aspect of german is that the verb always goes second consequently in english the verb can go almost maybe anywhere okay all right so that's summary completion uh read it quickly don't try to understand it true false not given don't worry about that okay true false not given you only do after you read the passage why because true false not given has confusing and false information so there's absolutely no point to read it before the passage you cannot skim and scan for it anyway okay it's paraphrased it might not be in the passage there's no point to try to skim and scan for it it could be false okay all right so here we go everyone let's do this together we're going to read read together and then we will answer together pay attention to meaning when you're reading really concentrate on thinking about what is this paragraph about why is the paragraph giving the information how is it giving the information and visualize it so try to picture it okay think about your own english and if you know a little bit of german think about that as well all right um so here we go let's do this uh together from the top we're going to read and then we'll answer uh the questions together okay all right uh always start from the title again german and english differences and similarities german and english share a common ancestral language known today as proto-germanic which was spoken by western european peoples thousands of years ago just as people who share a common ancestor are related languages that share a common ancestor are also related german and english are sibling languages they are each descended from proto-germanic and therefore also share a number of linguistic features however the languages have also diverged significantly over the centuries and today they have many notable differences in addition to their ancestral similarities okay good so here we have our first paragraph an introduction it's clear let's keep going to understand the similarities and differences of the two languages a historical background is necessary topic sentence i'm about to read the history of these languages old english which was spoken from approximately 450 to 1150 ce was very close to the german language of the period but the norman conquest of britain in 1066 led to many linguistic changes this is because the normans were a french-speaking people so they brought many french words into the english language and because french is a language that comes from latin many latin words also came into the english language in english for example the word cow comes from the proto-germanic word cube while the food obtained from cows known in the english as beef comes from the french word west this germanic french distinction is also the reason why pig meat is called pork sheep meat is called mutton and deer meat is known as venison each of the animal names is of germanic origin while the food term comes from french one exception is the english word fish which refers to both the animal and the food this could be due to the french word for fish poisson being very similar to the english word poison the name for a substance which can sicken or even kill okay now some of you might be wondering is adrian reading too fast too slowly for ielts my speed is absolutely okay for the ielts in fact you could even read a little bit slower the goal is to understand at least 70 percent of what you're reading okay uh and of course you're reading in your mind not allowed so you can focus even more on comprehension here we had a lot of visual language we learned about the history of uh modern day english from german and from french and of course these very visual examples of food cow beef uh pig pork sheep mutton okay all right here we go paragraph c even with the french influence however 80 of the hundred most common words in english are germanic in origin for example the phrase i have uh is ish the phrase it is long is s islam and the phrase where is that is who is all of these words are clearly related other words are identical although sometimes with different pronunciations for example the words baby doctor energy machine object original and school are virtually identical in either spelling pronunciation or both okay so some words are very very similar or basically the same now at this point some of you might be thinking oh geez uh ielts is really tricky i thought it was an english exam and now i'm even learning german on the isles okay fair enough right not not is it enough not only is it enough to have to speak english for ielts now you're looking at german words in the islets as well um yeah it's possible ielts likes to introduce these kinds of unique words or terminology in different spheres of linguistics or science especially in the academic ielts because it's preparing you for college and university where you're going to read information in english which might be describing new words or words borrowed from other languages so it's testing your ability to use english to comprehend information okay all right so keep this in mind okay be ready for this in your exam especially for academic students here we go let's keep going one of the key differences between german and english is in the structuring of sentences so here first sentence topic it's telling me that the structuring of sentences so syntax and grammar they're going to be a little bit different here okay so while both english and german have certain rules for word order these rules are very different example in german the conjugated verb is always second in the sentence often travel i english has no such requirement verbs can go first running through the woods second i run through the woods or last through the woods i run okay that's kind of old english so don't don't speak like that people will give you a weird look but it's understandable through the woods i run if you read old english you'll find that verbs will often come at the end however german sentence word order is also freer in certain ways interestingly this aspect of german is often compared to shakespearean english this is not a coincidence in shakespeare's time around the year 1600 ce english was still transitioning from middle english to modern english word order reflected the language's germanic heritage today this connection has faded and shakespeare's works which are taught to school-age children across the english-speaking world seem almost foreign yeah so if you study high school in an english-speaking country you'll learn some of that okay here we go next paragraph uh keep going with me so this was about the grammatical difference now we come to a new paragraph one notable difference so again another difference between the languages is that all nouns in german are capitalized while only proper nouns are capitalized in english names and places primarily so this is difference in writing okay in this sense german is simpler but german also has more cases than english for example german words can have three genders masculine feminine and neutral in general english does not have these while there are some words such as bachelor and bachelorette which denote gender almost every english noun belongs to a neuter non-gender class of words this is particularly notable since the two ancestral languages of modern english german and french both observe gender when naming nouns this is an example of english evolving past both languages while the influence of each language on english is marked english has also had centuries of its own development and one of its changes has involved losing its cases such as gender nouns for english learners this makes mastering the language easier so that's the good news everyone learning english you don't have to know all these feminine masculine and in german even neutral uh nouns if you had to do that and ielts would be even a little bit more difficult thankfully you don't need to do that so this paragraph is showing the difference of english from german and from french especially with nouns and the gender of nouns okay here we go with f another aspect of english however is very difficult unlike german which is mostly a phonetic language meaning that letters directly correspond to sounds english is often a hopelessly non-phonetic language take the pair of words paid and said by their appearance these words sound rhyme unfortunately they are not even close german conversely is much closer to the one-to-one correspondence between letters and sounds which many english learners are accustomed to english learners must instead learn an extraordinary number of exceptions which greatly complicates the language learning process so before was the good news you don't have to learn the genders now comes the bad news you have to learn all these pronunciational tricky words in english and all of the exceptions all right last paragraph here we go german and english are like distant cousins they share an ancestor and share many similarities but they also have many differences french influence on english in the 11th century and onwards transformed the language and the years since have only widened the gap between german and english yet they also maintain a number of similarities and after diverging millennia ago there's still no major language closer to english than german so there we go yes carolina english is a bitter sweet challenge to learn sometimes it's easy sometimes it's tough this was the conclusion clearly here the author has expressed the main points of the passage an interesting kind of take home message that english is still closer to german than any other language now hopefully of course many of you saw that the first couple paragraphs dealt with similarities between english and german the kind of second half of the essay dealt with the differences and again we have that help from the introductory paragraph also okay let's take a look at the questions and uh see about answering them okay uh so uh the development of english beyond its language antecedents which paragraph talks about english developing after its parent languages so here what i should remember from my reading is what what information okay so when i'm looking at question 27 what should i remember from the reading that's how you get the answer by understanding and comprehending the reading okay especially in this passage it's passage three so here you have to really comprehend so where or what information should i think of for this question okay i emphasize this so when you insist something about evolving past its languages yeah uh nyan is asking why don't we just skim and scan i'm gonna show you that right now nyan so hang in there i'm gonna show you why that would not work okay to answer this question if you were trying to skim or scan for this answer you would not find the answer very easily at all okay then newin says it's both language's ancestral languages so what are the two languages okay skimming and scanning students is not an effective strategy after band six be really careful so um it's nancy i don't think it's gonna be passage b and i'll show you why in a second why that would probably be not a good guess at all okay so english has evolved past what are its antecedent languages so from the reading what are the antecedent languages of uh of english okay watch the logic here watch how i solve this question and you're gonna see why skimming and scanning does not work to that student who just asked and what you need to really consider here the word antecedence is not in the passage if i'm not mistaken so you can't search for it what are the antecedent languages very good kritika so kritika says it's german and french okay so english has evolved past uh german and french okay uh in what way the passage gives a very clear example for this okay so english has evolved past german and french how in what way what was the example that the passage gave for that what is different about english than german and french german and french both have something that english doesn't because english has evolved past it yeah very good natalie so natalie says no genders very good so english has evolved past german and french it does not have gender nouns as the other two okay um is this a difference or a similarity okay clearly the answer is difference okay so uh if i know that the answer is that it's a difference is it coming from the start of the passage or near the end of the passage yeah very good abhishek so if it's a difference is it going to be in the first half or the last half of the passage how was the structure of the author the author gives us the structure with the bot with the introduction so if i go back to the introduction right uh the author gives us the structure um so it says that just as people who share a common ancestor they share common ancestor therefore they share a number of linguistic features however the languages also have uh differences so similarities differences this means that the author will discuss similarities first differences second right yeah absolutely kritika so very good crete so it'll be from the second half very good rashika yeah so i know from the introduction that if i'm looking for differences i should be looking in the second half okay so right away i have this notion that i should be looking from a paragraph d maybe so one of the key differences okay so abc it's kind of dealing with more of the similarities right c identical okay and then d is where the differences start okay with the verbs um okay then with literature e right um and uh the literature starts to include this uh gender gendered okay and then here this is an example of english evolving okay past it's both languages okay so here's my answer right here and it is in paragraph e it's the second to last paragraph so if i'm skim reading first of all i won't find the words in that question secondly even if i'm skim reading for meaning which is basically not skim reading you're reading if you're reading for meaning you're going to find it here so the answer is e yeah absolutely does everybody see that so couple of important questions to you here the students do you see first of all why skimming and scanning would not work to answer this kind of a question and do you see how you can use the introduction to identify the structure of the essay the passage and how you can find answers faster so those are my questions to you do you get it okay so that's that's how it is it doesn't so for academic ielts especially skimming and scanning is not going to be an effective strategy because you can't do that in university or college for your studies for most parts so it's not going to work in in the ielts either okay all right so the correct answer for that one is e you actually have to identify interpret understand and structure use logic of the author okay so e for space 27. okay um an example of english literature being similar to german in the past okay here uh english literature being similar to german in the past uh what am i thinking of here what's the example okay again i need to have some comprehension here okay so what's the example that i'm thinking of here it's not fish sandeep that was just food that was more for words right fish was for vocabulary natalie says that was shakespeare shakespeare's literature right uh shake spear yeah shakespeare okay uh now shakespeare i can definitely look for uh cow and coob that's no that's not right okay uh because uh cow and fish that's words that's vocabulary here we're not looking at vocabulary we're looking at english literature english literature would be shakespeare um anybody remember the year what was the year of shakespeare so now that i remember shakespeare and hopefully some of you remember the year that was given it was 1600 something like that right i think it was more around this 1600 yeah sundeep very good so now this i can skim for okay so when you have an idea of what the answers should be then you can do what's called effective scanning okay not even skimming but scanning i would say so but you need to know the answer you can't just randomly scan so this is purposeful scanning okay for names and for dates okay so i can now scan purposefully for the name and the date and find the answer very very quickly i remember it was somewhere around the middle if i'm not mistaken okay and uh if i look yeah it was a little bit later here okay there we go so names are fairly easy to catch because they're very unique words right so there we are we're in paragraph d okay but that isn't just randomly scanning okay you do not want to ever randomly just scan for words you want to do it with purpose why do i know that because i know what the answer is okay that's from reading the passage so d okay that's your correct answer there all right uh so e d okay um and then number 29 a key linguistic distinction in the naming of certain foods now comes the moment of glory many students wanted to use this for the previous ones but now you realize this is we're going to be so what what words what ideas are we thinking about here for 29 okay for 29 don't give me the answer yet everyone just give me yeah okay andre says that's where we want cow and beef okay or uh the word fish was there's the names of foods right the food items yeah that's right abhishek pork and pig okay very good and we remember that that was somewhere uh near the beginning with the history right so i don't necessarily have to search for this because i also remember that it was in b right so here's b there we have pork sheep mutton okay so b it is and now we're in our moment of glory and we have the right answer with uh b okay all right make sure that your b's and d's are very clearly different make sure your b does not look like a d it has those two distinct bubbles okay uh number 30 difficulties in english pronunciation english pronunciation it is a non-phonetic language so i remember that it's non-phonetic right a non-phonetic language i know it's a difference i remember it comes near the end of the passage as well surya says remember the words paid and said even though they seem like they should rhyme they don't rhyme at all so paid and said um and here they are rhyming uh paid and said very good surya you got that because you remembered the information very good vanuan nicely done so we know that it's f okay um so for anybody who's planning to just skim and scan for answers you'd be in a lot of trouble here you'd basically spend your entire reading time uh just trying to figure out these four answers because three of them are coming from the second half of the passage so you'd either be getting them wrong thinking that they're in a and c or you'd simply just uh waste all your time looking at the passage over and over again so students read the passage if your reading is slow then read more regularly and speed up okay all right everybody's good on that hopefully now and has a clear idea of how that works okay let's keep going here so here we have our paragraph and at the end of the paragraph we have some choices but we don't worry about the choices yet the trick with this is that you answer on your own and then you find the answer that's the closest so it's kind of like multiple choice here german and english have a common ancestor known as proto-germanic this language was spoken by people in europe thousands of years ago because of this german and english are considered something languages what's the missing word that you remember sandeep and meghana rao sibling so you go okay i remember it says something about sibling like being brothers and sisters right uh sibling but then at the end it says they're more like cousins okay sibling languages yeah they're sibling languages now make sure you don't mess up okay uh sibling first calcified sister anywhere fish significant okay the closest one is sister because i can't see anything that says sibling so e is going to be the right answer so make sure that in the space you don't put sibling you don't put sister but you put the letter e okay that's how you do it all right um however there are also something differences between the two languages despite their common heritage what would you naturally put in um for 32 okay there are also a few differences jaganna says significant so some of you say few some of you say significant okay let's take a look few significant sure all right so here we have few and we have significant all right you're in trouble which one do you choose which one do you think is a better answer so let's say that one of these gets one star and the other one gets two stars which one of these gets two stars which one of these gets one stars if you think about this is where your logic will help you a few differences between german and english or significant how do i figure that out how do i know how would i figure that out if i can speak english can i also speak german will german people understand me if i'm speaking english i'm sure most of you have heard enough german and english in your lives to realize this so have you talked to have you used your english to talk to a german person can they understand you kriti says no stuti says no natalie says i can't i've tried it doesn't work okay i'm like hey i know that word but i don't understand you right so which one gets two stars few are significant now that you think about that right i speak english but i still can't talk to german people then which one's better that's right prashav prashwa sorry significant yeah okay so j is the better answer j gets two stars okay why because it's not a few so there's significant there's important differences right another way to say significant is important and there are obviously important differences between english and and german okay now if i go back to if i really want to check this i remember it's kind of coming from the introduction right um so here however the languages have also diverged significantly over the centuries and today they have notable differences notable which one is it similar to significant or few right the word notable is being paraphrased here from the beginning and if you check you realize that notable is not similar to few notable is similar to significant right very good carolina yeah okay but again logic would have helped you with that as well so you don't really need to go back and check that you can check that just with your logic okay if it were just a few differences then there would be a lot more commonality okay um even if you think of like spanish and portuguese arguably spanish and portuguese are more alike than german and english yet even with spanish and portuguese you have significant differences where this would hold true would be something like mexican uh spanish versus spanish spanish those would be a few differences relatively speaking because a person in mexico can still understand a person who is spanish most of the time okay all right so use your logic logic is your friend okay the author is going to give you real information okay here we go so though the english of 1500 years ago was similar to german the french-speaking norman conquest of britain in 1066 something the english language okay so what would you choose here the french-speaking norman conquest of britain in 1066 what the english language okay what the english language yeah for dogs keep it simple right changed or syria says influenced change or influence that's what comes to mind yeah honey says flooded i would just simply say changed or influenced don't overthink it um any of these uh changed or influenced okay changed influenced which one is the closest transformers robots in disguise yeah it's uh f transformed right if anybody's watched the transformers series you know change from a car to a giant talking fighting robot um transform transform trans trans meaning to change form shape trans is the uh prefix form is the root e d is the suffix right cree t bumble bee that's right matt okay so uh transform yeah so f it is f it is okay hoping to bring a little smile to your faces for the end of the week here indeed optimus prime all right um so all of a sudden french words flooded into the country and its people's speech this french influence is the source of the divergence between words like cow and beef however one word did that did not follow this trend was and this i remember very clearly so cow beef sure we have uh the animal and the food the german and the french however one word that did not follow this trend for number 34 who remembers matt remembers moria remembers it is it's fish so again don't put the word make sure you find it fish here it is i okay fish it is i very good okay uh since its french equivalent looked like a negative sounding english word while the french influence on english is clear most of the most common words in english are still germanic many words are even spoken similarly that is their something is roughly the same when you see this it means that this is a definition of this so many words are spoken similarly so this is going to be a definition of this that's why you use the hyphen in writing it means that a is defined by b so this you would almost be able to answer without even reading okay spoken similarly is not written similarly uh spoken is pronunciation be careful okay so pronunciation because it's not spoken if this were written then this would be spelling is the same so written similarly would be
