all healthy and strong and happy with life today students we are looking at ielts reading specifically we will be looking at strategy for that band 9 score we will be looking at a couple of different types of questions summary completion and yes no not given or true false not given types of questions in today's lesson and we have some members and students already with us welcome muhammad kareem hi nice to see many students already in the class hi atharwa jainil and hasna our members good to see so many of you here ready to learn students uh this lesson is presented to you by ae help dot com for academic ielts success please visit us there and for the general ielts check us out at giles geilshelp.com in fact we're using one of our exams from aehelp.com today and this reading passage is an academic reading passage but it's great learning material for general ielts as well the general ielts reading is a little bit different than the academic but it's not completely different so sections one and two of the general ielts have shorter passages and there's two in each but then section three of the general ielts is very very similar to the three reading passages in academic ielts so using academic ielts materials for reading if you're a general ielts student to get those high band scores like band 8 or band 9 it's a really good idea okay because if you can do a good job on the academic reading materials you will do a great job on the general ielts reading materials hi monir love back at you in bangladesh good to see students joining from all around the world students again on our

right we have apps academic ielts help and general ielts help you can get our apps from the app stores all right everyone uh so without further ado let's get into our reading session for the day again this is coming from our new set of exams that we're publishing and this is reading passage three so technically reading passage three is supposed to be the most challenging um passage uh it in the academic ielts exam so um the way that ielts works is it's it's graded that means that the first part of each section is the easiest and then it gets more and more difficult okay so what i mean is like passage one in the academic is supposed to be the easiest and then passage two becomes more difficult and then passage a three becomes even more difficult that's the idea behind it but it's not always true and you can start with any passage you don't have to start with passage one you can start with passage three does anybody know when it's good to start with another passage instead of passage one so this is kind of a it's a trick if you will i don't really like to say tricks i like to use the word strategies but this is kind of i guess you could say like a a trick so um let's uh let's discuss this because it could really help you okay so here we go um when so my question here is um when is it a good idea to start with um passage uh two or three instead of uh passage one okay so that's kind of my question here let's see if anybody knows that or has learned that somewhere else okay welcome to our group of members pacham i see that you just joined up send me an email so i can hook you up with those exclusive videos yeah arda there are differences between the passages and i'll explain what that is in just a moment let's see if anybody can answer this question so you should start with passage one in most situations but sometimes you want to start with passage two or passage three okay um anybody know when that is there's kind of a simple answer to this if you will and if you know it makes sense if you don't then you can get surprised so it's a good idea to look at all of the titles of every passage before you start yeah exactly june so june says probably when seeing a topic in uh passage two or three that we are familiar with yeah exactly yeah so if passage two or passage three is a topic that's right up your alley okay so if passage two or three um is a topic that is write up your alley right up your alley is an idiom that means you are familiar with it okay so right up your alley it means familiar to you all right um then start with that one okay um so then start with that one because you'll know the vocabulary like for instance if it's your university major so if you have a passage um that's about biology and about animals or plants or something like that and your university major is biology you do a lot of reading in english about plants and animals then yeah start with that one even if it's passage through two or three okay so um for example a passage about plants and your university major is focusing on botany okay botany is the uh study of plants all right so if uh if that's the case then start with that one okay um so i'll tell you how they make these reading passages more and more difficult okay so again the the tip here is when you start read all three uh titles read all three of the uh passage topics titles and then start with the one that's easier okay so ielts makes each passage yeah let's just do that so ielts exam creators uh make the passages more and more difficult um by the type of content and the type and difficulty of questions okay so what i mean by this is passage one is usually a physical topic like an animal or a volcano okay and passage three is more abstract okay not physical so that's one way that ielts exam makers can make passage three more challenging than passage one right talking about physical objects or physical real um things let's say i don't like the word things but in this case we can use it it's things so talking about buildings or talking about some part of geography like a mountain or a volcano as i mentioned that's usually a little bit easier to understand because it's easier for us to visualize it it's easier for us to talk about it okay and then passage three is often uh something that we can't touch right something that we can't actually see like an idea or a concept like talking about philosophy and in today's passage we are looking at this topic and this is a passage three it's german and english differences and similarities and right away you notice that oh okay this is obviously not a physical object so talking about a language or differences between languages is certainly more challenging than talking about let's say the burj khalifa the tallest building in the world because we've all seen pictures of that we know some words around that it's a little bit easier to talk about it okay so that's kind of the way that ielts does that okay so arda does that make sense now like do you you get how that works and then of course the questions will have more paraphrasing um they will be a bit more challenging maybe more list of headings and true false not given question types that students find a bit more difficult in uh passage three okay has now passage two will be somewhere in between so as this is what about passage two um it's kind of somewhere in between so passage two could be a physical topic maybe a non-physical topic but it will be somewhere in between so i talked about a couple of ways that the ielts examiners make it more challenging but there are other tools that they use as well to make it challenging so those were just a couple examples i i don't want to go too far into psychometrics and how that works but i just want to give you an idea okay all right so artist says yeah that makes sense gotcha all right okay yeah exactly jainil it's philosophical perfect okay um yeah muhammad kareem yeah it might be a more challenging question like matching headings exactly okay all right um yeah so and you can see that so students if you're using for instance like the can the cambridge ielts books for past papers which were actual exams that ielts conducted in past years i'm sure many of you are familiar with that the cambridge book one to 16 i believe now and each has four and then when you look at the passages there you'll you'll see this trend okay you'll so you'll see this trend all right everyone so um let's do today's reading okay so it's going to be more challenging but worry not i'm here with you and i'm here to help you understand it and learn the strategies to get those higher band scores okay so this is a reading class everybody so make sure that you uh read with me okay so read and if you're in a place where you can be a bit loud read aloud okay allowed reading it's one word aloud it's not a loud a lot of people confuse that it's allowed reading read aloud reading aloud means that you hear yourself read and when you hear yourself read you're using what's called multiple sensory integration it's just a really fancy way to say that you're using multiple parts of your senses you're using your muscles of your mouth your tactile you're using your eyes of course you're reading you're using your ears because you hear yourself reading so multiple sensory integration learning is really effective okay so you want to use that it's tiring it takes a lot of energy maybe have some uh some water with you when you're doing a lot of allowed reading it gives me a chance to sneak in a sip of water myself so have some water with you and i highly highly recommend reading aloud for about 20 minutes per day each and every day leading up to your ielts exam okay so use multiple sensory integration learning okay whenever you're possible all right whenever possible so multiple sensory integration read aloud okay so uh we're going to read and we're going to answer some questions before that let's take a look at the title so uh german and english differences and similarities okay uh what could that be so here what i want to do before i uh read the passage and the questions is i want to predict this passage so um i want to think a bit critically about it okay so i want to ask some questions and a question that i can ask here for instance is uh what are differences uh between uh german and english okay so here i'm just predicting the passage all right what do you think everyone what are some differences between english and german okay so let's do this nice and fast in the real ielts you're only spending about a minute to two minutes on this okay at home you want to maybe do it a bit longer just so you're training your mind your thinking to really kind of um get good at this type of inferencing okay janiel says some different dialects but some common words okay keep your thoughts simple janelle so some different words okay all right a thorough says maybe the alphabet yeah the letters that are used sure that's possible too okay um anything else okay accent yeah so the way that words are pronounced okay definitely [Music] all right what else accents in the words um try to go beyond the immediate so you know accent words that comes to mind immediately but what other parts of language are there so try to be a little bit more in depth and that will help you to pick up those critical uh points for those higher band scores okay so bakra says pronunciation and writing format is different um pun chum says maybe the intonation is different yeah i think you're kind of um so you're you're very close to what i'm thinking here especially bakrat uh probably the grammar right okay all right um let's ask another question why are we uh or why yeah why are we discussing the differences uh between uh german and english okay so uh why are we why are we doing that and this is really important so today by doing this passage we're actually not just learning about ielts reading but you're learning about the english language which is hitting two birds with one stone right so uh we're doing much much more here as well okay so why are we discussing the uh similarities and differences between german and english so what's what's the reason why is the author writing 700 words on this discussion okay where does this idea come from okay okay uh jabroni says because of their common origin yeah you're very close uh jabroni yeah janelle says to learn about the origin um you're actually going to get a little bit even more insight here um hasn't says to know deeply about english and german i think gibroni and jainila are a little bit closer there's an even better answer um than common origin and the answer is english is a germanic language okay so english is actually a germanic language everyone so english comes from german most of the people who inhabited england that area of wessex the anglo-saxons used to be a german tribe and there was conflict between the tribes in germany at that time i believe it was called prussia and there was conflict between the tribes in prussia and one tribe made its way all the way across europe to the island of the united kingdom taking with them the prussian language and then that prussian language became english which of course in germany became german right and then english was influenced by another language so german was one of the big influ or german is the original uh root we could say of the english language um bonus question time what what's the other language that makes up most of english so english is made up mostly of german and one other language let's see who knows about and hey look you're all learning english so it's definitely a good idea to know about this right it will help your studies absolutely so english is a germanic language it's mostly german but it was transformed in the 1200s by very good harwinder very good at mal yeah french french okay so modern day english was transformed by french yeah so modern-day english was transformed by french okay so modern day english is basically germanic roots with french influence okay so if you can speak french if you can speak german you'll be able to learn a lot of english as well very quickly okay all right um so how by giving examples of words and grammar right so my next question would be like well how how is the author going to do this right so how is the author going to do this by giving examples of words and grammar maybe explaining the history okay so you want to predict as much as possible about the passage and you can do that by looking at the title of the passage again okay and you can also do that of course by looking at some of the questions all right so everyone again uh here we go uh let's read the title german in english differences and similarities what are the differences between german and english some different words alphabet accent grammar similarities probably the same similar words some similar letters grammar expressions why are we discussing this well english is a germanic language and modern day english was also greatly influenced by french okay all right let's take a look at the question so that's our next step here we go okay so reading passage three has seven paragraphs okay a to g which paragraph contains the following information write the correct letter in boxes 27 to 30 on your answer sheet okay so here we have 27 to 30 okay matching some paragraphs let's do this so here all of this information is included somewhere in the passage so we want to definitely read this okay 27 the development of english beyond its language antecedents okay if you don't understand the word antecedents don't worry about it okay 28 an example of english literature being similar to german in the past 29 a key linguistic distinction in the naming of certain foods okay 30 difficulties in english pronunciation make sure you're visualizing okay so foods for instance all right quick question here can i skim and scan for the answers okay so can i skim read for the answers to these questions okay this is an important one because i know a lot of students are still hoping to use some good skimming and scanning strategies to answer all the questions so students can i skim and scan for these questions like can i skim read the passage and for 27 skim read and find the key word like development or the key word antecedents and then answer that one and go like okay pick the point okay janil says no miles says nope absolutely not no okay all right i'm looking at the general english help channel there as well good evening back at everyone i don't see any answers there okay all right no why not so absolutely not okay no why not there's actually two answers okay um artist says we don't have enough time um so yeah that's right arta i think you're thinking what i'm thinking okay um so yeah if let's say for example that the development of english beyond its language antecedents um let's say that's in paragraph um f that means that you just had to skim read basically the whole passage to maybe figure out that the answer here is paragraph f that will take a really long time especially imagine if this one is g so now you have to read the whole passage or skim read the whole passage again to figure out that the answer to this one is g that would be horribly frustrating okay and oftentimes that's actually what happens because the ielts examiners don't want you to skim read and don't want you to scan scan scam either but scan okay so that's one reason the other is paraphrasing right so you might not actually see this kind of question in the passage so you might see something like the evolution of english past it's a language roots okay so this is a paraphrase all right so instead of the word development i have the word evolution instead of the word beyond i have the word um past okay instead of the word uh antecedents um i have the word roots okay so these are basically synonyms so what i'm doing is i'm paraphrasing here and that's what the examiners do so if you're looking for the word antecedents because you're scanning for that because you're like oh i'm sure they use that word in the passage but they didn't it turns out that the examiner or the author chose the word roots instead of antecedents now if you're looking for this word you're going to get super frustrated because you might skim read the entire passage and not find that word okay so skim reading for choice words again is not going to be very effective all right now guess what going back to what i said at the beginning about how the examiners make passage three more difficult than passage one this is another way that they can do that okay they can use more paraphrasing and they can make it much much more difficult to skim or scan for answers so usually uh skimming and scanning especially for passage three becomes virtually impossible in the 20 minute time limit okay all right so that's very important everybody got that okay all right um so when you're at home though you want to do this kind of paraphrasing so that you can see the answers faster while you're reading okay all right okay everyone uh let's get to this because we'll never get to the questions right so um let's do this now all right members so read with me here we go okay so an example of english literature being similar to german in the past a key linguistic distinction in the naming of certain foods difficulties in english pronunciation okay all right um here we have a summary completion using the words a to j below don't worry about the words just look at the summary and read it it will help you so read with me everyone okay 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 however there are also something differences 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 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 that did not follow this trend was something since its french equivalent looked like a negative sounding english word while the french influence on english is clear most of the 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 a key aspect of german is that the verb always goes second conversely in english the verb can go almost something all right then we have some true false not given true false not given don't read it before the passage there's no point you don't know if it's true you don't know if it's false or if it's given so there's no point in reading those you can solve those best at the end all right everyone so here we go we're going to read follow with me so just kind of go with me read aloud we're going to get through this passage and then get to the questions you'll see this kind of strategy that i'm using while i read okay so here we go uh and picture visualize okay so see the information i see you see the information okay very important all right so here we go everyone um 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 common ancestor are also related english and german 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 as soon as i finish a paragraph what is this paragraph about the answer uh english and german common ancestry and modern differences okay all right that's what it's about so anytime i finish a paragraph in my head i'm always asking what is it about and giving a simple concise answer like this one here okay so i do that for every single paragraph and in the ielts i do that in my head all right and you're going to see why keep reading with me to understand the similarities and differences of the two languages a historical background is necessary old english which was spoken from approximately 450 to 1150 ce was very close to the germanic or 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 ku while the food obtained from cows known in english as beef comes from the french word boof 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 poison being very similar to the english word poison the name for a substance which can sicken or even kill all right so again i ask myself what is this paragraph about okay so the answer here is the historical dates um for the evolution of english and examples with food okay so that's what this paragraph is about and i go on to the next one nice and fast everyone here we go and if you read at this speed for the ielts it's absolutely okay you don't have to read faster okay and you're reading in your head all right even with the french influence however 80 of the 100 most common words in english are germanic in origin for example the phrase i have is ich abbe the phrase it is long is ichlang and the phrase where is that who is das 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 what is this paragraph about um the permanence of the engl of german of german in the english language right so even though there was this uh french influence still english is mostly a german rooted language so the most common phrases words are all of german influence right okay let's keep reading one of the key differences between german and english is in the structuring of sentences while both english and german have certain rules for word order these rules are very different for 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 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 words which are taught to school-age children across the english-speaking world seem almost foreign okay so what is this paragraph about by the way members and everyone do this with me and try to see if your answers are the same or similar as mine they should be okay so what is this paragraph about well when we're talking about word order we're talking about grammar so it's about the grammatical differences between english and german with an example of shakespeare something like that shakespeare okay all right let's keep going here we go um one notable difference between the languages is that all nouns in german are capitalized while only proper nouns are capitalized in english names and places primarily 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 neuter 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 neuter non-gendered 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 gendered nouns for english learners this makes mastering the language easier okay uh so what is this paragraph about um it is about the way english has evolved uh past german and french with differences in cases so no gender nouns and capitalization okay so that's how that's happened all right let's keep going 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 hopelessly non-phonetic take the pair of words paid and said by their appearance these words should rhyme unfortunately they're 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 what is this about answer german is phonetic versus english is non-phonetic so differences in pronunciation okay all right one more paragraph here we go everyone uh 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 onward 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 all right conclusion what is this about it is about the way english has changed from german over a thousand years but still remains its uh closest sibling language okay so there we go now we've got a lot of clarity now we can answer these questions and you're going to do this instead of me okay all right so here we go members and viewers all right let's do this together um so number 27 the development of english beyond its language antecedents and i think this paraphrase was really helpful here the evolution of english past its language roots now you should be able to get this because we did this what is this paragraph about answering the question and even if i don't remember exactly which paragraph i have a pretty good idea of where it came from um what do you think okay so what do you think panchum says that was fascinating to know and very valuable when you're learning english right so i think if you know i were teaching english to some lower intermediate level students in school i'd probably teach them about this very early right arda says b or c um okay i don't think so arden you had to visualize this harsh fazil what do you think everybody who's watching what paragraph did this come from think about it this way was it in the first third the middle or the last third okay was it in the first third the middle or the last third ask yourself that when you're doing this okay so was this in the first one third the second one third or second third sorry or the last third of uh this passage so that's i have to think about it then it's easier to track down i remember this was actually i'll give you a little help here it was about the cases right the he uh she it difference okay so what was the answer here anybody let's see our winner says middle um i think it was like middle or the end okay it was about the cases that he and she okay um here you go so what is this paragraph about it's about the way english evolved past german and french with differences in cases right the he and the she so this is from paragraph e okay and here's the answer to this sentence this is an example of english evolving past both languages and notice how we don't have any of those words so you really can't skim or scan for this and if you were trying skimming or scanning you would have had to get all the way to paragraph e to even get the chance to answer this correctly so here the answer is paragraph e okay all right so paragraph e is the correct answer in this case does everybody get that so this is an example of english evolving past both languages okay all right let's go to the next one 28 um an example of english literature being similar to german in the past number 28 if we're paying attention to english literature here we can figure this out okay and what is it so what's the answer to this one an example of english literature what am i looking for here okay all right what am i looking for here so an example of english literature being similar to german in the past okay what am i looking for that should be an easy one as well very good harwinder so harwinder says it's shakespeare pancham agrees it's the part with shakespeare and i kind of know that was near the end as well right okay so that was somewhere well here we go in the middle actually so it's more close to the middle here's shakespeare right so again i know that it was somewhere middle end not in the first third so it's easier to find so this one here is d right so in shakespeare's time and that's the literature okay so the answer for this one is d um students when you're doing a good job in ielts reading it shouldn't take you a really long time to answer these okay number 29 a key linguistic distinction in the naming of certain foods okay i think that came before d so that was about when you're talking about beef and fish and such so let's look just before d okay so that's c it's not good okay but just before c i can now see the historical dates evolution of english example with foods right so here i have venison uh pig meat is called pork so this is paragraph b okay b so here the correct answer for 29 is b okay uh difficulties in english pronunciation i know that that one is about phonetics so this is what happens when you understand the passage right so you might do a search for pronunciation you might find it but we're actually looking for phonetics here i remember that was kind of somewhere near the end and here it is so german is phonetic english is non-phonetic so the answer there is f all right okay so correct answers e d b and f all right reading the passage should take you about 10 to 12 minutes you should understand about 70 to 80 and then answering each question on average should only take you about 30 to 40 seconds maximum okay um let's uh complete this paragraph here here we go so two languages split in two by another um so here we have a title okay when you have a paragraph like this you really want to pay attention to the title um this here says two languages split in two by another what's the language that's splitting them apart okay so uh pancham jainil harwinder what's the language that's splitting apart german and english here and hopefully all of you come up with the word french yeah that's right very good okay um good job panchum yeah it was french right so here i want to focus on this concept english and german being split further apart by french okay from 1066. all right here we go so 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 what's the correct word here don't look at the choices think about the correct word okay so what's the correct word so german and english are considered something languages what kind of languages are they considered you should have pictured this you should have caught this word it was very clear it was at the beginning welcome mr rahul preet to our group of members good to have you on board um sibling that's right janil so here i have sibling right for 31. sibling languages okay um and so sibling languages um now i can look for this let's see first calcified uh sister anywhere fish pronunciation few transformed spelling significant which one is the closest here to sibling out of these choices that's right husna it's e because your sister is your sibling so here don't put the word sibling okay put the letter e so the trick for this kind of um summary completion is think about the answer and then find the closest match okay so however there are also something differences between the two languages despite their common heritage there are also what differences okay what would you write here so there are also what kind of differences yeah and everybody got sister which is great um so what kind of languages see gibroni's having a little chuckle there uh jabroni says significant differences yeah or i would say important differences or key differences any one of those right so phonetic differences is possible as well uh significant uh significant differences is good because there's more than just phonetics so there's grammatical there's word differences so there's some important differences right and again i look at this first calcified sister anywhere fish pronunciation few transformed spelling and significant now when you have a word match like we have right now then you know that's got to be the right answer okay so the answer here would be j okay significant differences and here it's e okay so we've got a few more here we've got question 33 34 35 and 36 i'll let you have those ones for homework and i'll jump to the true false not given okay we'll take a look at true false not given for just one question as well okay so here you have to say it's true or t if it matches with the information in the passage f or false if it doesn't and ng are not given if we don't know based on the passage okay and this is how we do this so rules concerning capitalization differentiate german from english okay so here is this important is it important to talk about capitalization differences in german and english writing okay um yeah okay i would i would definitely say that uh that's important all right so yes it's given all right and then i would ask another question is it true okay and the answer is yes therefore the answer to this question is true or t okay because i remember that the passage talks about capitalization differences here remember this paragraph paragraph e it says one notable difference is that all nouns in german are capitalized so you put a capital for every noun in german but in english you only do it for names um and um places right okay so that's the answer there so for true false not given i want to figure out first if it's important if it's important then it's given okay if it's not important it's most likely not given all right um here we go number 38 try this one english for the most part lost the case says the case system of its past is it important yeah and i see many of you got true there okay for the last one so english let's do number 38 together members english has for the most part lost the case system case system means that we have um like a boy girl and it difference for the nouns so in french you hear like the lay and the la for uh girl boy difference or boy girl difference um german has something similar as well english so is it important to know this artist says it's important buckrad agrees yeah absolutely so it's given okay so english has for the most part lost the case system that would be very important for the english language um so it's given and is it true so does english have these gender markers for words so do we say like le car or la video okay so or we don't say it okay jabroni says it's true english doesn't have that it's not like german or french and you're right jabroni so it's important it's given and we know that it's true english doesn't have that so true okay all right i'll leave 39 and 40 to you okay everyone so again here are the last a few questions for this summary completion 33 to 36 here are the words that you have to choose in the letters okay and then here are the last two true false not given try these ones on your own okay so do this on your own for homework so homework time okay so summary completion uh 33 to
