Summary

TLDRDette afsnit af den online TOEFL forberedelseskursus fokuserer på læsedelens 'stated detail' spørgsmål. Instruktøren forklarer, at svarene er tydeligt angivet i passagen, men for at matche dem med svarmulighederne kan man være nødt til at parafrasere. Det anbefales ikke at læse hele teksten, men i stedet fokusere på nøgleord fra spørgsmålene og scanne teksten for at finde svaret. Der gives eksempler på, hvordan man effektivt kan besvare denne type spørgsmål ved at fokusere på nøgleord og anvende scanningsteknikker, samt vigtigheden af parafrasering og tidshåndtering. Kursisterne opfordres til at praktisere disse teknikker i øvelsesafsnittet.

  • 00:00:00
    hi welcome back to our online
  • 00:00:02
    preparation course for the TOEFL test
  • 00:00:03
    this time we are going to continue
  • 00:00:05
    getting prepared for the reading section
  • 00:00:08
    in this model we are going to focus on a
  • 00:00:12
    type of question that is called a stated
  • 00:00:15
    detail question what does that mean it
  • 00:00:17
    means that the answers are going to be
  • 00:00:20
    clearly stated in the passage it would
  • 00:00:23
    be important to paraphrase the
  • 00:00:26
    information in the passage in order to
  • 00:00:28
    find the answers because even though the
  • 00:00:31
    answers are going to be clearly stated
  • 00:00:33
    in the passage that doesn't mean that
  • 00:00:36
    the options are going to have exactly
  • 00:00:39
    the same words you will have to
  • 00:00:41
    paraphrase the information so let's do
  • 00:00:45
    some exercises in order for you to get
  • 00:00:50
    prepared for this type of questions as I
  • 00:00:56
    already mentioned in the previous videos
  • 00:00:58
    it is important that you remember that
  • 00:01:01
    reading the complete passages is not
  • 00:01:03
    recommendable why because if we read the
  • 00:01:07
    complete passages we will not have time
  • 00:01:09
    to answer the 50 questions in the time
  • 00:01:12
    that is given so as I said we start by
  • 00:01:16
    reading the first question according to
  • 00:01:19
    a passage Williamsburg is located and we
  • 00:01:22
    have four options a on an island B in
  • 00:01:25
    the middle of a river C or the jerk and
  • 00:01:28
    the James myth D on a piece of land with
  • 00:01:31
    rivers on two sides so it is important
  • 00:01:35
    that we locate key words in the question
  • 00:01:38
    for example in this case our keywords
  • 00:01:41
    are Williamsburg and located so if you
  • 00:01:45
    notice the first word in the passage is
  • 00:01:47
    Williamsburg and if we scan the passage
  • 00:01:53
    very very quickly we can find a synonym
  • 00:01:55
    for the word located that is situated
  • 00:01:58
    okay so it says Williamsburg is a
  • 00:02:01
    historic city in Virginia situated on a
  • 00:02:04
    peninsula between two rivers the jerk
  • 00:02:06
    and the James so with that information
  • 00:02:09
    we should be able to answer the question
  • 00:02:12
    we can determine that the answer for
  • 00:02:16
    this question is letter D on a piece of
  • 00:02:19
    land with rivers on two sides which is
  • 00:02:22
    exactly the same as a peninsula between
  • 00:02:27
    two rivers so if you notice we
  • 00:02:29
    paraphrase the information let's do
  • 00:02:32
    another example again we start by
  • 00:02:36
    reading the question and it says the
  • 00:02:38
    passage indicates that Jamestown and we
  • 00:02:41
    have four options a was settled in 1633
  • 00:02:44
    B was settled 26 years after
  • 00:02:47
    Williamsburg C was the first permanent
  • 00:02:50
    English colony in America and B was
  • 00:02:52
    originally named Miller plantation in
  • 00:02:55
    this case our key word is a word
  • 00:02:58
    Jamestown
  • 00:02:59
    so we go directly where the word appears
  • 00:03:03
    in the passage right and we start
  • 00:03:06
    reading that sentence and it says it was
  • 00:03:10
    settled by English colonists in 1633 26
  • 00:03:14
    years after the first permanent English
  • 00:03:16
    colony in America was settled at
  • 00:03:19
    Jamestown so with this information we
  • 00:03:22
    can determine that the answer for this
  • 00:03:24
    question is letter C Jamestown was the
  • 00:03:28
    first permanent English colony in
  • 00:03:30
    America okay so now let's do another
  • 00:03:35
    example with the same passage let's go
  • 00:03:39
    to read the question it says the
  • 00:03:42
    position states that the name middle
  • 00:03:44
    plantation a is a more recent name Dan
  • 00:03:47
    Williamsburg be derived from the
  • 00:03:49
    location of the colony on the peninsula
  • 00:03:51
    C refers to the mill part of England
  • 00:03:54
    that was home to that colonists and D
  • 00:03:57
    was given to a new colony because
  • 00:03:59
    because it was located in the middle of
  • 00:04:01
    several plantations so if you notice we
  • 00:04:04
    have to find key words in the question
  • 00:04:06
    so it says our key word is going to be
  • 00:04:09
    middle plantation so we go directly yes
  • 00:04:14
    to the word middle plantation and we
  • 00:04:18
    start reading that sentence it says in
  • 00:04:21
    the beginning the colony at Williamsburg
  • 00:04:23
    was named middle plantation
  • 00:04:26
    because of its location in the middle of
  • 00:04:27
    the of the peninsula so if we paraphrase
  • 00:04:30
    this information we determined that the
  • 00:04:33
    answer for this question is letter B
  • 00:04:36
    derived from the location of the colony
  • 00:04:39
    on the peninsula so if you find keywords
  • 00:04:43
    in the questions and you locate them in
  • 00:04:46
    the passage it is going to be very very
  • 00:04:49
    easy for you to identify the answers for
  • 00:04:53
    this state the detail questions because
  • 00:04:55
    as I said the answers are clearly stated
  • 00:04:59
    in the passage so which are some of the
  • 00:05:02
    common questions that are going to tell
  • 00:05:04
    you that the type of question is asking
  • 00:05:07
    you for clearly a stated question
  • 00:05:11
    according to a passage it is a stated in
  • 00:05:14
    the passage the passage indicates that
  • 00:05:17
    the author mentions that and which of
  • 00:05:20
    the following is true so if you find any
  • 00:05:23
    of these questions in your exam is
  • 00:05:25
    because you are being asked about a
  • 00:05:29
    stated detail questions so let's reveal
  • 00:05:32
    the important tip in order for you to be
  • 00:05:35
    able to answer these questions correctly
  • 00:05:37
    first remember you read a question and
  • 00:05:41
    then you find the answer in the passage
  • 00:05:43
    so how do we do that by finding keywords
  • 00:05:47
    in the questions and then find them in
  • 00:05:50
    the passage then we scan the passage in
  • 00:05:55
    order to read and try to find the answer
  • 00:06:00
    for the question so we choose the option
  • 00:06:03
    that real States the idea in the passage
  • 00:06:06
    okay I hope that this was very very
  • 00:06:11
    helpful for you and now it's your turn
  • 00:06:14
