continuing with the task 2 essay that we started yesterday if you missed that no worries we will go through the introduction together now let's get into some reading so here we go this is today's reading passage it's coming out of our first exam and it is reading passage three which is arguably the most challenging uh reading passage the title of this passage is causes of the american economic crisis many people probably still remember that back in 2007-2008 we can see a picture here it's showing some numbers what looks like stocks or the stock market and of course during that time stocks went down there was a an economic crash of sorts so when i read the title and i look at the picture i think about hey what might this passage be about so it's obviously going to be about the financial troubles uh during that american economic crisis and the reasons for that now i've read the title i've thought a little bit about it i've done a bit of prediction going through the steps uh force the strat right strategy for the reading is the fastest way to get a high band score okay so when you learn like little tricks and such like skimming and scanning they're not as effective as many people will have you believe you can actually lose a lot of time trying to search for answers in the text the text is designed in such a way that you cannot really skim or scan for answers past a band 5.56 good morning devange all right so we looked at the picture we looked at the title uh what's the next step rashika davange what do i do uh after i look at the picture and the title and i think a little bit about what this passage might be about uh what should i do next what's my next best step to understand this passage as well as i can and as quickly as i can what should i do there's one more step before i start reading and by the way these were the exact same steps that i took when i was in my official ielts exam a couple months ago by the way i'm doing another one very soon here and i did get band nine and i was able to go through the reading quite fast with these strategies so devonte says you should read the questions absolutely devante yeah look at the questions and maybe read some of them depends on the question so here we have a yes no not given which means that if the information agrees with the author then it's a yes if it disagrees then it's a no if we don't know what the author thinks about the information then it's a not given this is a very confusing type of question because there can be a lot of information that is not anywhere in the text so um i just ignore this question i don't read this it's really easy to ignore this type of question in the computer-based exam because you actually have to have a little drop down to answer them and so on okay hi honey good to have you in the class so this type of question i ignore and then my next set of questions are complete each sentence with the correct ending so this is sentence completion type okay and i have three phrases that i have to complete with the choices from below now always you get way more choices than you have the questions or the first half of the phrase and here we have six choices and only three phrases so three of this six which means fifty percent are incorrect so again we don't read the choices we only read the phrases in the text okay all right so here we go let's read this banks have a responsibility to each bank is responsible for a recession is started when okay so i read these nice and quick and i try to think about what might be some of the content based on this information so when i read these members banks have a responsibility too and each bank is responsible for um what does that give you what kind of information so what might you predict or infer about the passage based on number 31 and number 32 yeah exactly rashika so here we only read the questions so if i read this banks have a responsibility too and each bank is responsible for then what kind of information comes to mind let me know i'm going to type it up here so this is me predicting some information of course this is happening very very fast while you're doing this during the actual exam and when you're practicing you should take a little bit more time be a little bit more cautious okay so here i'm going to infer that based on these questions the passage includes information about the responsibility that banks have to maintain financial stability and if they do not this can lead to financial problems on the national and even international level okay so this is what i predict different people might predict a little bit different information rashika says the responsibilities of the bank certainly rashika that's a first step try to think past that so try to think about what is the responsibility of the bank right so that would be another question that would pop up in my mind like what is the responsibility of the bank so likely the passage uh will give this information okay so what are banks responsible for um and i guess this would be my inference uh keeping uh people's money safe and making smart investments okay because of course as we know banks invest people's money and uh hopefully they do it in a very smart way uh so that it generates more money and not less money right so that kind of information uh should race through your mind as you're quickly going to read that passage soon and infer the information that's contained in the passage okay so let's see the next one here all right next question is complete the summary using the list of words a to h below now again everybody watching this is a reading class so don't just listen to me it's not a listening exercise make sure to read and if you can read aloud okay so you can hear yourself so read and read aloud all right okay so this one here is now a summary completion this is a very common type of question in the reading section and all of this information is somewhere in the text and it's a good idea to read this question quickly so you get an even deeper understanding of the text and of course this is usually paraphrased it means that they're giving different kind of words than what you will see in the text so you can't really search for in order to properly it really won't be in the text but something similar will be in the text okay so let's read this together okay we want to do lots of reading today so the american government's role it is the american government which is arguably most responsible for the economic crisis in order to properly people must be sheltered from possible problems created by something regulation is required in any society in order to coerce people into acting for the benefit of something government is in place to serve its citizens and in this case it has failed apologists will say that the recession is just a something on the radar of american supremacy while others say that such bumps on the road are something of serious problems regulation is the solution to the problem but the american something of independence and small government will be very difficult to crack okay so we've read this and now we get some more ideas about the tech so it's going to talk about the responsibility of not only the banks but also the big responsibility of governments that oversee even banks to make sure that an economic crisis does not happen all right um so we have some good ideas now we're going to read okay and there are lots of different strategies that you need to practice when you're reading at home one of the really important ones is to read a paragraph and then ask what it is about so uh exercise your active reading it means reflecting on what you read okay all right rashika davange honey if you have any questions so far just let me know all right a visualization rashika is another very important one so here we're picturing the bank we're picturing the government maybe we're a government worker who's going to the bank so we're being active and here we go let's read this i'm going to actually increase the size here so make the reading a little bit easier for you see i've got a bit of space to go there so let's do it like this all right um so here we go read with me and then afterwards we'll discuss what is in this paragraph okay so when discussing the causes of the late 2000s american subprime mortgage crisis it is easy to lay all the blame on the banks but it is incorrect to claim innocent the individual home buyers involved as well as the american government as a whole there are many instances in the years leading up to the crisis where moral obligations failed to be met for the home buyers it is a case of ignoring a scenario which was upon deeper inspection too good to be true for the bankers it was falling prey to their own laissez-faire loaning policies lending without giving much interest to the mandates required of the borrower for the government it was instituting such a laissez-faire system in the first place free of regulatory checks and balances okay so if you didn't understand the whole paragraph don't worry about it it's totally fine you have to focus on what you actually understood so let's first answer this question um what is the introductory paragraph about okay and you want to give a nice complete clear answer for this welcome aboard saga so what was this introductory paragraph about what what is the author telling us here about this uh economic crisis so far what have we learned from it okay natalie very good natalie says the shared responsibility uh for the crisis rashika says the cause or the causes of the crisis yeah so it basically says that there were several entities at fault for the economic crisis the government the banks and the individuals okay and it does tell us how so how were they responsible okay so it does give us a quick insight it's basically the whole introduction here is uh sort of a thesis how how were they responsible let's see who understood a bit of this okay called says problems of the past banking system in the u.s yeah absolutely and what were those problems so what was the problem of the banks what was the problem of the government and what was the problem of the individual in this case now maybe you remember this because it is modern history and i'm sure many of you experienced some of this or saw a lot of news about it natalie says credits devon says lending money without any checks yeah okay so banks lending money without any credit checks individuals borrowing money without being able to pay it back and the government what was the government's problem yeah rashika homebuyer is ignoring um to pay back the loans and how about the government what what mistake did the government make what was the primary mistake of the government in this case let's see if anybody got that it does say it yeah natalie says no regulations yeah lack of regulation um overly relaxed policies to oversee banking operations yeah okay good so that's what we want to do so this is an important strategy make sure to practice it at least once or twice a week when you're doing your reading practice for your alts exam it's a surefire way to improve your comprehension and to get better scores okay so strategy after you read a paragraph answer what why and how questions about it okay and at home during practice write it down that'll also help you to practice your writing okay now one of the really common um comments i get from people is like well 20 minutes is not enough i just i can't uh read fast enough in the 20 minutes so that i have time to answer the questions and understand uh what i'm reading okay fair enough so what you need to do is twofold okay so here's another strategy and it's called power reading okay power reading has a few steps the goal primarily is to isolate and improve reading comprehension and reading fluency and then combine the two okay so that's the goal of it now we have lots of power reading exercises on our websites we show you in great detail how to do that it's an exhausting exercise it takes a lot of energy so have a glass of water and make sure that you have lots of energy to do this i'm going to walk you through the steps and then we'll do this together as well okay so i'm giving you lots of strategy today while we're reading this passage and working on it together okay so most people and this is native speakers as well when we're reading an academic passage especially at the university level it's common that we do not understand all of the words in the passage and at times we do not even know how to pronounce them so we get stuck on these words while we're reading and that's a problem because that stifles our reading fluency it means it blocks or impedes our reading fluency okay so it slows us down so this is the first step to power reading uh here we're basically building our fluency for reading not focusing so much on comprehension but we're building our fluency so that we can read smoothly and quickly okay davan shall get to comprehension in just a moment saga you can take notes during your reading but i don't recommend it okay i think all of the reading fluency and comprehension for high band scores above seven in the exam needs to happen here i do not recommend taking notes or circling underlining words okay i find that candidates usually make more mistakes when they do that okay so step number one for power reading is to skim through a paragraph just a paragraph and identify any words that might block or kind of make you mess up while you're reading okay so here i'm just skimming through and then when i find a word that i think might be a little bit tricky it doesn't have to be a long word then i'm going to underline it this is for practice at home of course don't do this in your official exam this is practice for home before your exam okay so scam okay and when i find a word that i think might trip up my reading then i'm going to read it twice nice and loud so do this with me members okay so scam scam deservedly deservedly hapless hapless reimburse reimburse scenario scenario subprime subprime mortgage mortgage bankrupt bankrupt debt debt inevitably inevitably populous populous obligation obligation subprime subprime mortgage mortgage counter counter-argument counter-argument possessing possessing trustworthiness trustworthiness unreasonable unreasonable obligation obligation pitfalls pitfalls trustworthy trustworthy sufficient sufficient okay so those are the ones that i caught this time around um thinking hey maybe those will kind of um be a little bit more difficult for me when i'm reading to keep my fluency so each of them i pronounced twice nice and loud now if you don't know the pronunciation of these words don't worry you can type it into google and type pronunciation and google will say it for you okay so we have wonderful technology these days and you can use technology to help you if you're like oh i have no no idea is that sam or scam or what type it into google and google will give you the pronunciation okay when you're doing this step more is better than less so if you think that might be a difficult word then underline it you're going to find out in the next step anyway because in the next step we're going to now read this um this paragraph nice and smooth now that we've identified these words okay so here we go read with me if a person falls prey to an email scam the blame is deservedly placed on the hapless person society feels pity for them but nobody feels the government should reimburse the individual for their lack of caution the person in this scenario has affected no one but themselves if a person falls prey to a too good to be true subprime mortgage and ends up bankrupt he or she is not just hurting themselves they are also hurting society because that debt inevitably rests with the populous thus while a person has no social responsibility to act a certain way in the case of the email scam a person does have a social obligation when it comes to actions that can hurt society such as taking on a subprime mortgage the counter argument here is that that people perceive banks as possessing a certain level of trustworthiness and that it is unreasonable to expect people to have their too good to be true radar active when dealing with banks nevertheless people do have an ethical obligation to be aware of pitfalls and being told it's okay by trustworthy institutions is simply not a sufficient excuse okay so i read this paragraph now nice and smoothly it was a little bit easier because i pronounced each of these words twice i noticed that maybe the word ethical might have tripped me up as well while i was reading okay so here i'm not focusing on comprehension okay the important point here is to separate out the different elements of reading effectively and reading quickly and those two components are fluency and comprehension so right now i'm just working on fluency and then i'm going to isolate comprehension and then i'm going to combine the two okay so that's the goal here that's the idea behind this strategy it's a good way to think about it as like sports okay so if we're talking about football right um then uh people who play uh football competitively uh they don't just uh go out on the field and play football every day but they do practice for different skills so they practice shooting the ball on net they practice or on goal they practice passing the ball they practice heading the ball throwing in the ball and then they put it all together okay it's the same idea when you're doing reading and writing as well you want to isolate the different skills within reading and writing work on them and then put it together so it's good to read every day for fun as well but it's also good to do this okay it's more efficient and you'll become a better reader all right so step one we underlined pronounced each word twice then we read the entire paragraph nice and smooth and now for the next step is where you want to have a sip of water because the next next step is kind of fun and challenging so in the next step you want to and you're doing this aloud okay so these steps step one two three you're doing it aloud okay not just in your head but you're actually verbalizing so that you can hear yourself and you can train the muscles of your mouth your tongue and your eyes and your ears to all work together okay so in this next step you're going to read the paragraph again the trick this time is to read the paragraph faster than you've ever read before so whatever that speed is for you now you don't have to read perfectly you don't have to read every word the goal here is that you're pushing your brain your eyes to read faster than what you're comfortable with and faster than what you're used to so i'm going to step back to show you this step here and i'm going to read this as fast as i can or faster than i can to kind of push my reading fluency okay so here we go if a person falls predicted an email scam the blame is placed on the hapless person's site feels for them nobody feels the government should reimburse the individual for the lack of caution the person in the scenario affected no one but themselves a person faces good if you supply mortgage and as a bankruptcy or she is not just turning something or hurting society because that inevitably rests populace that's why people are no society responsible to act a certain way and cause a female scam person does not have social obligation when it comes to actions that hurt society starts taking on september mortgage the counter here is that people perceive banks possessing a certain level of trustworthiness unreasonable to expect people to be too good be too radioactive when dealing with banks nevertheless people have the ethical obligation to be aware of pitfalls and told us okay the trustworthy institutions are simply not sufficient excuse okay uh so i stumbled a couple of times and i had to skip a few words uh because uh my tongue wasn't able to keep up with my eyes but uh that was faster than comfortable obviously and faster than possible for me but that's pushing my speed okay that's pushing my fluency in this case i'm going to use the analogy of sports again so it's kind of like a person who's a professional runner who runs races especially if you think about short distance 100 meter 400 meter 200 meter dash okay that person is always pushing their limit and sometimes they pull a muscle sometimes they trip and fall that's part of their journey to become faster and faster each time that they run a race okay so the same idea is true for our mind we can train it to be faster in any language in your language in a second language but you have to push yourself okay did anybody try that with me khaldeep davanch saga natalie rashika anybody uh anybody really push and read as fast as possible there okay i'm going to erase this now while i wait for your answers i'm wondering if anybody took that brave step it takes a little bit and uh a lot of energy so do this when you're rested it's hard to do if you're tired okay natalie said couldn't do it i'm getting ready for work all right saga says that was faster than you nicely done saga devon says yes i tried it fantastic by the way many of our students in the past who have regularly practiced this power reading have written us some really nice emails about how much more efficient they've become in reading in not just in english but their own language as well okay it's definitely difficult and when something is difficult it's often got a big reward okay all right so in the next step um you do one more reading of the paragraph okay and this is fundamental to power reading that you go over the same paragraph again and again and again doing this okay so we go over the same paragraph again now this time when you're practicing this at home you just read the paragraph silently okay just like in the ielts exam so in the ielts exam of course you would absolutely shock the examiners and the other candidates if you did that aloud so you can't do it aloud but you can now read it silently and when you're reading silently you want to read at a comfortable pace don't rush some of the big big mistakes okay i'm gonna name two of them that a lot of candidates make when they're reading in the ielts exam okay so be really careful about these mistakes okay so while you are reading silently during your official exam be sure to avoid two common mistakes that lead to lower scores and slower performance okay number one reading too quickly without really paying attention to the content number two reading as if the entire paragraph were one sentence without punctuation okay so keep in mind that you must read silently as if you were reading to an audience at a comprehensible speed and with punctuation okay i can't stress enough how important that is all right it's really really really really really really important okay all right um so now when you're practicing power reading you want to read this again silently paying attention to punctuation with a comfortable speed okay uh you have about 10 minutes to read the passage uh each passage and you still have lots of time for the answers if you do that now 10 minutes is actually a fair bit of time it's not a very fast read okay so i'm not going to read silently because that would be really boring right now you would just see me stare at this paragraph so instead imagine that i'm reading silently and i'm going to read this paragraph one more time aloud at the speed that you should be reading silently now in this step you're paying attention to what the paragraph is about okay it's your fourth look at this paragraph so now you're focusing on comprehension now you're not focusing so much on the fluency that was step one two and three but you're now focusing on the uh comprehension and um you repeat what we did at the beginning where you focus on what is this paragraph about why is it telling me this how is it supporting this information okay so here we go if a person falls prey to an email scam the blame is deservedly placed on the hapless person society feels pity for them but nobody feels the government should reimburse the individual for their lack of caution the person in this scenario has affected no one but themself if a person falls prey to a too good to be true subprime mortgage and ends up bankrupt he or she is not just hurting themselves they are also hurting society because that debt inevitably rests with the populous thus while a person has no social responsibility to act a certain way in the case of the email scam a person does have a social obligation when it comes to actions that can hurt society such as taking on a subprime mortgage the counter argument here is that people perceive banks as possessing a certain level of trustworthiness and that it is unreasonable to expect people to have their too good to be true radar active when dealing with banks nevertheless people do have an ethical obligation to be aware of pitfalls and being told it's okay by trustworthy institutions is simply not a sufficient excuse so here i've read this at a nice comfortable pace i paid attention to periods and commas i made sure to intonate and that would be my inner voice as well okay so my inside voice would be the same all right it's really important to practice your inner voice when you're reading so that it is nice with intonation with good punctuation okay all right so now i ask myself what is this paragraph about well in my opinion it's about the individual's responsibility when getting a mortgage and it gives me an example of an email scam if i fall for an email scam i'm just hurting myself but if i'm not responsible and i get a mortgage that's too good to be true then i'm hurting everybody else okay so i got that information of course i read this four times now right so that's power reading in a nutshell again to review that practice that more a help.com or glshelp.com has that in the reading lessons okay so check it out there i know many of you have access to the premium courses there so check that out all right so now i'm clear okay any questions members about power reading any questions about this strategy any uh questions about the steps in this strategy like how often should you do this before the ielts exam when should you do this the answer to the how often question is if you do it once or twice each week for four weeks i guarantee you're going to see you're going to see a nice big improvement in your speak or your speaking maybe you're speaking your reading efficiency okay saga what do you mean by sketchy i'm not sure what you mean by that you're unsure of this strategy um if you're unsure a bit of the strategy saga then um just try it practice it a couple of times i challenge you i just spend um 30 minutes um one day practicing this uh then two days later spend another 30 minutes doing this and uh then two days later spend another 30 minutes doing this and if you don't improve at all send me an email and let me know okay i'm pretty sure you'll be surprised so that's why i'm challenging you to do this okay um i'm not the one inventing this by the way so if some of you are like oh adrian's invented power reading um no it's uh it's it's a developed um strategy for improving reading that's commonly known okay yeah so saga if you have an exam in a month i would definitely do this at least a couple times each week and then you'll see that improvement in your reading okay all right if you have any more questions let me know meanwhile let's keep reading here so let's get to the bottom of this passage banks have a response we're just going to read now okay so that i'm not going to do power reading for each one because there's no way we'd have enough time plus you might go crazy by the end of it so we're going to just read here okay all right honey's asking whether power reading and speed reading is the same or different um speed reading is kind of an element of power reading they're overlapping honey so speed reading and power reading have some overlapping components absolutely okay different people call these by different names uh it is kind of a type of speed reading okay it's a part of that step three is definitely speed reading uh devanch the way that you can build fast comprehension is by going through these steps because uh in the last step in the fourth step when i read quietly or silently i'm also combining the fluency that i built up for that paragraph with my comprehension so that's where the that's where the combination happens okay so thinking about the what why how the munch is the comprehension part steps one two three are the fluency part and when you're reading silently you're putting those all together in step four okay all right um here we go so banks have a responsibility to protect their customers and to look out for the general economic health of not just their company but of the entire industry the american banks failed in these considerations in each of these regards first they offered mortgages to millions of ill qualified buyers who were clearly not going to be able to fulfill the requirements of the mortgage to make the loan viable individual lenders acted selfishly exploiting very relaxed lending policies to benefit their own finances second banks failed to look after the health of their own companies this is not a failure of individual bankers but a failure of those in management positions many u.s companies that need a multi-billion dollar bailout are an unmitigated disaster although this failure falls more in line with the email scam that is to say a failure which is not a social failure but a business failure the social failure lies in the bank's obligation to the entire industry and the economy as a whole each bank is responsible for a small piece of the economic pie if one bank fails it appears as a blip on the radar however with each individual failure the threshold for failure for the remaining companies is lowered it is in this sense that companies have a moral obligation to do good business because if they do not they raise the chances of bankruptcy for each of their competitors and the economy as a whole eventually the threshold of failure is so low that almost all lending has to cease and a recession is ignited okay um devonch i highly highly recommend checking out the uh reading section of your course at aehealth.com where it goes into lots of details about how to visualize the content that you're reading how to think critically about what you're reading how to do paraphrasing exercises for reading and all of those improve your comprehension okay so paraphrasing reading text visualizing reading text and thinking critically about reading text do those regularly and i guarantee that you're going to comprehend better okay all right let's keep going so uh in this investigation of blame placing arguably the body who holds the most responsibility is the american government the truth is that if people are not protected from themselves by the government society cannot function well the holy free market is akin to an economic version of hobbes state of nature people acting like tigers and bears trying to get each other's money society does not work optimally when it pays overwhelming dividends for people to act selfishly it takes regulation in economic policy to force people into acting in society's best interest one of the duties of a government is to protect its citizens from each other and in this case the american government has failed catastrophically defenders of the free market will claim that this recession is simply a temporary bump in the road for what is arguably the greatest economic power in world history they will claim that the free market is in the best interest of everyone despite its rather unsightly undercarriage in response it can be argued that the bumps in the road are symptomatic of a system in need of healing by means of regulation unfortunately american culture is such that any regulation is seen as government interference in private affairs and such intervention conflicts with american ideals economics is not the only arena where this belief system is played out americans continue to allow their poorest citizens to live without proper health care and they put the burden of the cost of higher education directly on students many european countries fully subsidize higher education until this distaste for government intervention is cast aside events like the subprime mortgage crisis will continue to occur whether they are merely bumps on the economic road or signs of forthcoming systemic collapse in both cases the government has failed to fulfill their role to save the citizens from themselves in regards to subprime mortgages regulation of the banking is like an insurance policy for the economy it may lower profits insurance policies cost money but it smooths out the bumps in the road as long as the american government continues to turn a blind eye to these insurance policies they will continue to put the social well-being of its citizens at risk all right and then comes the questions okay so here we have the yes no not given i'm going to do this with you let's do this now so question 27 those that fall for common scams deserve to be compensated by society okay is it important for the american um economic crisis to know about this piece of information the common scams well i remember it talked about the individuals in the second paragraph and the email scams which are the common scams and the author clearly said that they do not deserve to be compensated so if somebody falls for an email scam nobody's going to pay them back and say hey it's too bad you lost your money here's 50 bucks um so the answer here is no okay hopefully everybody got that um because that's the paragraph that we did the power reading on so we read that paragraph four times okay so you should definitely get the answer for that one right many homeowners are too young and irresponsible all right is this important for this uh paragraph that many homeowners are too young and irresponsible i'm not sure i definitely don't remember visualizing or thinking about too young okay and it might be an awkward detail and as well we know that it's probably not true anyway so this one would be not given okay a society trusts the banking system yeah very good rashika number 29 society trusts the banking system is it important for this passage absolutely is it true that society trusts the banking system absolutely so it's a yes okay it's logical thinking first i figure out whether it's given or not given by asking if it's important or not important and then i figure out if it's true or not okay you don't have to search for all of these answers all right number 30 homebuyers have an ethical obligation to beware of trustworthy institutions is that important yes does the author think that home buyers should be careful of trustworthy institutions like banks absolutely so it's another yes koldeep it is important very good all right so i went at a little bit of a fast pace there um that's the pace that you want to reach at home through your studies and as long as you're studying regularly practice your power reading practice those other strategies uh that i mentioned to devange you will do a great job okay members if you don't have access to our exams try answering the remaining questions look at the video and try answering these questions uh on your own and then you can email your answers to me and i will give you the answer key okay so practice a bit of power reading practice a bit of critical reading and uh email me your answers and i'll give you the answer key for it that's all the time i have for this reading today so the focus here was on critical reading or active reading and power reading okay if you have any questions about this send me an email i highly encourage you to practice these and i highly encourage you to check
