You're all scary in here at all, okay? It's just another practice to see where we're going. So again, you'll always have that kind of reading comprehension. Then it's that vocabulary, sentence transformation, a short writing task. It's only 120 to 150 words, okay? So these are structured with two paragraphs, okay? So they're not three paragraphs like you've been practicing. There are only two paragraphs, okay? And then we've also got another verbal reasoning, which is synonyms, word relationships, logical sequences and reason s and choices. Okay? And it's testing your grammar, it's testing your ability for logic, it's testing your understanding of of the English language. All right, so we're gonna to start with that today. Then we're gonna to have a look, a little bit of listening so that you could perhaps a bit liand. Then if we've got some time, then we'll do some practice of interview. If not, we'll do some interview tomorrow. Okay, so whichever we end up doing, but I also hopefully we can practice a listening test. That's the piarson version. And I just think I've got something mean. Yes, I and let me go back. I just want to see if it's going to work for me on this computer. And then. Yeah and then we'll have a look at this listening test as well. So it is gonna to work. So I had it all set up on here but my computer decided not to work for me today I have three computers as a Ella you think one of them would work? Okay right let's start with this again we'll put on all of the timers so this will tell you it's got 45 minutes for this section. We're not gonna to do it in 45 because with section a the whole of section a is 45 minutes. I think you'll do it a little bit quicker but if you don't we spend our lesson doing this Isabella and it's well worth it. Okay, so what we're going to do is we're going to split that 45 so we would expect for you to be able to do these questions in about 15 to 20 minutes. I'm going to be a bit crueler today and I'm going to see if you could do them within twelve just because knowing then youhave a little bit of extra time if you needed it. Okay. But I do feel as further if because your comprehension is stronger than the writing, I would then leave yourself much more time for the writing tasks than for your comprehension Yeah because your comprehension is getting very strong now. So we want to make sure that you've got the right timings for these is that's what we're going to do. Is that okay with you? Okay, do you need some paper? Do you need a pen? Yes, I can't crab these favorite event. It's like I know you so well now. Amazing okay Isabella twelve minutes for your first comprehension make sure it's gonna to also put onto here they haven't hasn't transferred over this would be one mark. This is one mark. This is two Marks. This is four Marks. So just bear that in mind on how big an answer it is. Okay, isaella, your twelve minutes. I'm here if you need any questions. Starts. So Isabella, let's see where you got to. It doesn't matter if you didn't finish, but let's see where you got to because so you're working really hard. Okay. So number one. Idea of. Success has become increasingly links to. Lisibility so increasingly linked to okay, so what's wrong with this answer? So you said the idea success has become increasingly linked to visibility, but what's wrong with this answer? What does it not actually do? Not the problem. It's got the problem. Been there. Yeah. So we've got the writer suggests that the problem with modern ideas of success is. It has become increasingly linked to to visibility. Yeah and you could also put in here, it has been become increasingly linked to visibility and sharing our life too much. Yeah see that you could show you understood what visibility meant. Okay. And two, according to the passage, why might ambition become counterproductive? And it is recognition. Why might arenyou become counterproductive? Okay, so let's have a look at that. Over understanding yes, when it when it rewards recognition. Over understanding. Yeah, much better answer. But again, make sure yesterday when we were doing these or the day before you were doing them with the full sentences, make sure you go back to that. Yeah according to the passage, the ambition becomes counterproductive when it rewards recognition. Over understanding Yeah tua can now identify one phrase that suggests success is often measured publicly rather than privately. Don't this one. Okay. So let's think about this. What do we mean by publicly. Others to see what do we mean by privately? Myself. So when we're looking at success, what does success mean? So can you find a phrase that shows achievement is measured by others, not by yourself? And you've just come up success and achieved that will help you because maybe there's already a word like achieved in the sentence. Social media platforms reward those who are constantly perfect. That's exactly the phhere. So if you ever go, I'm not sure, break it down, think to yourself, okay, what does success mean? What does public mean? Achieve achievements. Must be this one here because you connected the dots as soon as we did that. In your own words, explain what the writer believes is necessary for progress. I think it is because the progress is made by human, not A I. So it's real. Okay. So do you think that this answers the question? Is the article about AI? No. So this doesn't answer that question. So we're gonna try this one again, but let's think about it. So think about in your own words, explain what the writer believes. It's not what you believe. What the writer believes is necessary for progress. And what do we mean by progress? Love make things better. Yeah make things better and results perfect. So let's try that question again. I'll give you five minutes. Okay? Two to three sentences. It's worth four Marks so it needs two to three sentences in it. Yeah. Remember those sentence starters you've been practicing? Okay? So let's put that timer back on for you to give you some time. I want you trying to tempt this one again. Okay. My it's about your time starts. No. Amazing. Okay. Okay. So what you've got is a the writer believes progresses greater than easy. Because give me that word again. Is it one of the writer believe progression is other than easy approval? Approval. Okay, so the rice believes Brois better, not not good, we would say better. So the writer believes grows is better than easy approval. Get great. Because. Approval is more willingness to. Engage with. The writer believes progression is better than easy approval. Because progress is more willing ding. Tour. Engage. That's all with complex. What? World crash. So the writer believes progress is better than easy approval because to progress is when you are more willing to gauge complex progress. Okay, so the thing is here, Isabella, you're not really telling us what he believes. Yeah, you're saying he believes in progress. That's not easy. But here you've got all this stuff about social media. Yeah he talks about validation, he talks about valuable contributions, he talks about intellect, he talks about self promotion. He talks about personal or societal patience. He talks about willingness to engage with complexities rather than simplify it. Yeah. So here we want something a bit more and it's got to be two or three sentences. So the writer believes progress is better than easy approval. Yes. So that's one mark. Because he believes that. Because he believes that just look at this as he believes that contribution to your success is when you choose a more complicated engagement rather than just an easy option. He believes that you can do this publicly or personally. Okay, so as you can see that the answer just builds a little more. So take things on the text, but then use synonyms for them. Okay? So we just want to build these answers a little because that would get you a mark, but you would be missing three. Yeah and that's the kind of like setting off for him a bit. Well done Isabella. Yeah you've definitely gone through and these like these first two questions were really good especially once you knew where the success and achievement was building these own words ones up okay, right our next one vocabulary in context sentence transformation okay, so they're going to do this section and this section so vocabulary in context and sentence transformation okay Isabella I reckon six minutes I think you'll do it in in a quicker time but I'm gonna put six minutes on view for this task okay and your time starts now. Brilliant, right? Let's have a look at these, Isabella. Choose the workplace as a meaning. So, validation, approval, perfect, obscure, complicate, destroyer. So this one is hide. To obscure something means to hide it. But complicate is not that far away from this answer. But this one is hito obscure something as to hide it, to deceive it. It's perhaps a better word for it. Sustained, difficult, continuous competes, a sustained means to be continuous. Remember this with piano when you do a sustained pedal. So you know when you hold your pedal down and then you play, you're holding that so that your note carries on. So that's a way to remember sustained Yeah sustained pedal to keep a note going. Continuous note. So when you've got a that's way to remember it. Okay, then we've got this one. People often mistake visibility for a student. Me. And so rewrite each sentence that keeps the same meanings. People often mistake visible, mistake forward. Visibility is often mistaken for achievement. Yeah. So just mistaken. Ambition can be harmful when driven by recognition. Yes. Abellperfect really well done. Okay, we're gonna pause it. We're gonna to pause the writing task. Don't want to rush you in the writing task. So we're gonna skip past the writing task for now. We're now gonna to have a look at the verbal reasoning. Okay, you've got synonyms and anonyms section. So here we have reluctant is the opposite of brief is closest in meaning to word relationships that you did last time. So remember we had that example teacher school meant doctor, hospital. If it was teacher. Pupil then we would have been doing doctor patient. Then you've got your logical sequences. Choose the word that best completes the sequence. You've never done these before. So we're going to see how you do with this. So analyobserve, analyze, conclude what could be the next one reasoned choice, choose the odd one out and explain why which one of these is odd. Okay. So that's then I'll be end of today's little practice. So I always do all of these. Okay. Again, I kind of feel like 67 minutes is more than enough. 67 if you're on the trend of 67. So we 67 so we're going have a little look we'll put sort of seven minutes on and so I always do all of these so B1, B2, B3 and b four. Okay, all right, here we go. Then this could be go 67, right? Okay, but a time starts now. What is compocomposer is someone who writes music. Thank you. Don't change that one. Leave it where it was. Leave it as it was. I would look at two again. I definitely look at number two again, but I would look at number one again. I'm it okay so all of them yes it is okay. Brilliant. Right reluctant opposite esitant no because it's the opposite not the same so this one is the opposite so we want not the same word if that was the same then hesitant was correct but the opposite word to reluctant is eager I'm reluctant to do something I'm eager to do something that opposites Yeah so they means different words that's what we mean by an opposite. So this was Eger. They were the same hitance correct. But eager or opposites. Okay, so bit like left and right. So opposite is like like you go so eagers beautiful. So eager. Yeah whereas reluctance like no, I don't want to do that. Thank you very much. Thank you. No, I don't fancy doing that and I don't want to do that. So that's mean by the difference. Brief is closing and meaning to short yeperfect. Author, novel, composer. Now I can see why you've picked theater, but this would be orchestra. An author writes for a novel, composer writes for an orchestra. I can see why you thought theatre, though this is, again, what we're seeing is you're so close to some of these answers, which which is a big improvement, Isabella, because before we were picking words that were nowhere near it. And I can see why you've thought theatre, because a composer does make theatre, but in this sense, a composer would write for it, for the band, for the orchestra. Generous, selfish, complex, simple, generous. So comsimple. Yeah perfect. It's like Yeah logical sequences. Observe, analyze, conclude, explain. Very well done. I can see again how this has confused you. But whisper, speak, shout, argue. I'd if I'm shouting, I'm not singing. I don't know anyone who's shouting and singing, but if I might be arguing, I might be able to argue with someone and the odd one out come, yes, a withe pit calculator. Because other three ones at the end they have cope scoop Yeah well done. Excellent done. Okay, so some things that we want to improve on in your own words feels like something to look at isn't it? In your own words answers I'm just gonna make some notes for us okay just so I can target some exercises for you. So in your own words answers we're going to down the rest of the comprehension feels fine and I've seen you do multiple comprehensions we've got to find the answer and they are much, much, much better vocabulary. So closest in meaning so again, I think you'll now just know a few of those wer't you I think this just gets easier than what you do with those but maybe we should do a few of these tests to get that vocabulary up. Closest in meaning got itchy head this meaning exercises okay. And then you sentence transformations actually, Isabella, from where we were and where we are at with these is like a different student here. These are so much better. Just make sure to change the words when you know for certain certain sentences. We'll come back to all of that verbal reasoning. So we need to look at anonyms a little bit, don't we? Yeah. Pattern in practice, that was fine. Word relationships we're getting there. I think we just might need to just spend a little bit more time with word relationships. Logical sequence I think your logical sequences have got much better. So on your Odone now it's not a problem at all. Okay, so we've only got four minutes. Time is swift with us. We're not gonna do listening. We'll do listening tomorrow. But I would like to see if yes there is more verbal reasoning. What more would you like? So I want us to have a look at this one. B1 again closest to meaning B2, complete these. This is just a fancy word for sentence completion. Like exactly what you're doing up here. This one is the same here. It's just called something different. So it just wants you to do exactly what you were doing here. Teacher, school, doctor, hospital. Okay, it's just, it's got a different name sometimes, but know that they are asking for the same thing. Don't worry about this one. And then B B four. So b four, B2 and B1, that's already you're doing B1, B2, b four. Okay, we've got three minutes. I think we could do it in the three. I don't think it will take that long. Let's go for it, Isabella. Let's do it. Let's finish on a high. Here we go. I'm was right. So we have tentative closest in meaning be temporary. So I would say this one is perhaps more uncertain because if I'm tentative, I'm a little bit like shy. So tentative is like a shy. Yeah. So it's uncertain. Implicit, see, unspoken, hidden. Mm, this isn't a weird one actually. Implicit hiddings, implicit information is stuff that's there. We're going to say unspoken, but to be godess isabbel, I would actually say any of these were implicit implicit means to like have information so it's not hidden. Okay. Well, I agree to disagree with this paper. Okay. Analytical reasoning? Okay. Hypotheses, experiments, theory, observation, resilient, fragile, cautious, nervous. Yes, perfect. You've got those in new Beland. Then the odd one out. Sumption, evidence, proof, opinion. Yeah. Weldone viela, there's so much improving here. It's brilliant. Keep doing what you're doing. Keep practicing. Keep looking at vocabulary. Yeah every day, find a new word. Every day, add to your vocabulary list. I'm so proud of you every week, every lesson, every time you do this. Yeah it's that confidence we need to build now as we head into next week. Yes. Have a wonderful evening. I will see you tomorrow. Bye. Lovely.
