Hello there everybody.
And now it is time for a nother strategy video for the general reading.
Thank you so much for joining me today and I hope today in this video you're going to learn a lot about
how to handle the short answer question.
The short answer question is a question type where you'll see a full question with a question mark at
the end.
OK.
And it's very important with a short answer question that you actually pay attention to the directions.
Right.
Like here for example read the directions take take 10 seconds and read the directions
right.
It says no more than two words and or a number.
No more than two words in a number.
And that's very important because if you write three words answers wrong your answer is wrong.
You can't put multiple answers.
You can't write more than two words.
Yes a and b count as a word.
All right so let's go ahead and look at the strategy.
We're going to pause for a second and we're going to have a page and look at strategy for the yes no
given question.
OK.
So let's take a look at the strategy for the short answer question is like most short answer just like
the other questions in this area of the strategy chart.
The short answer question and goes in order.
You want to rephrase the questions and spot the easiest ones to do first underline the keywords in the
question scan and find the matching sentence to your first Easy's question and find the language in
the passage sentence that answers the question.
Write the answer.
Pay attention to the.
Pay attention pay attention pay attention pay attention to the instructions because if you write to
read the words you're going to get it marked wrong.
OK you want to get Mark wrong so go back and look at what we're dealing with for this short answer question.
This is from Book Number 12.
It is the North Sydney Council.
If you are working along with us please make sure that you stop the tape right here and you can do this
question yourself and then come back and check your answers.
So I hope that you have purchased the book number 12.
Book Number 13 and you're able to follow along with us and stop the tape and work on your own.
And then Scheckter your quote your answers and strategy during our explanation.
All right so let's look at our questions.
Is there anything easier to do first to hear something.
The financial advice program the financial advice program.
That will be really easy to find.
This passage is really short and so everything is going to be like right next to each other you see
we have like see we have six questions.
That means everything is going to be really really close together.
Financial advice program is probably going to be very easy to find in terms of number 19.
And that means that everything else will be above that.
So if I were doing a real exam I would probably do number 19 first and then I know Number 20 is directly
after that and then I know Number 18 to 15 are above that in order.
All right.
Let's go through and look at our questions look at the keywords.
Like I say if I were doing the real exam I would jump right into 19 find an answer then move to the
next one.
OK.
And that's that's what we would do when the real exam but not right now trying to point out to you in
terms of what are key words.
So which employees
and not work regular hours.
This is going to be a scientist is talking about looking after relative.
What does it mean when it says look after a relative somebody who's sick.
All right this next one we're dealing with a choice between two alternative periods of time.
That means we're looking for two time periods.
Next Which other.
This next one is going to be about additional holidays being entitled to additional holidays.
And so was talking about how long must you work how long must you work to get it.
You know holidays were without a break.
And we're talking about professional employees that you can see Professor employees you can see OK.
So go ahead and look through that and see.
So number 19 is what does the what does the financial devise program advise.
What does the financial advice program advise to people about.
All right so our financial advice program is right now would you define what kind of advice they give.
So the worst financial advice program this is an example of a starting point you've heard me talk about
this and the other sentences.
This is a starting point but this isn't this isn't a sentence it has all the information.
The census has our information is right here because he's talking about advisers.
Right.
We provide the services of advisors specializing in pensions.
So our hair answer they were looking for is dealing with pinchin.
Right.
We're dealing with pensions
and pensions is our answer for that one right is to want to be the word pensions.
And so now let's go ahead and mark that as our answer for number 19.
We're dealing with pinchin.
OK.
And now let's go here and look at doing our next word.
All right here's our next one I see it right now.
Our next one deals with this to remind you I'm sorry what's the next one I wasn't clear on doing number
18.
How long must the employees have work without a break before being entitled.
How long must employees of work without a break before being entitled to it.
So working without a break.
Again remember they love to use that language.
So what I'm looking at a passage I'm looking for a synonym language.
Now you may know where he's going backwards.
He's went from 19 up to 15.
Actually sometimes I like scanning in that direction in the opposite direction of the passage instead
of going scanning down.
I like to stand up sometimes because when I'm scanning up I'm looking for word lane which I'm not reading
right I'm not reading this so that's why when you understand skimming and scanning you understand there
are different ways to do it and it doesn't involve reading.
So when I'm scanning the up I'm looking for people that work I'm looking for a lane which means the
same thing as
same thing as working without a break.
So when I'm scanning up I see right here it talks about right here talks about after five years
five years of continuous service
right five years of continuous service so assayers after five years of a continuous continuous service
employees are entitled to 6.5 weeks of long service leave.
Right.
But after five years of continuous service.
So our answer for that next question is going to be five years.
Right.
Because this is how long how long how long.
So our answer for the number 18.
How long.
Well you got to work five years.
Right.
You've got to work five years.
That's our answer.
Five years
five long years.
Five years.
We're a good mom case.
Too bad.
All right.
Number Seventy two alternative time periods to time period.
It's weeks years months days.
Two time periods.
There it is right there.
Nine weeks in for pay 18 weeks and half pay.
All right.
We're talking about two time periods.
Does the any other sentences that have two time periods
right to time periods something you can do in nine weeks in 18 weeks
nine weeks 18 weeks.
Right.
Let's be no.
That's our sentence right there.
Nine weeks 18 weeks.
All right.
And I'll do like I did in the other videos and I should write the numbers next to them.
I'm sure you all would like that.
That's we're number 19 is that's word number 18 is this word.
Number 17 is play and says What kind of leads.
So what type of Lee.
So in that sentence we're talking about two alternative periods what kind of leave Do we see here.
In addition to the normal paternity leave maternity leave provisions women who have completed 12 months
of continuous service can access nine weeks of maternity leave.
That can be taken either as nine weeks for pay or 18 weeks and half pay.
So the only kind of leave we're talking about here is maternity leave.
Right.
That's the only type of leave right kind of leave name of a Leave type of leave as maternity.
All right type of leave is maternity.
All right so number 17 would be maternity
and
then our next one is dealing with
looking after a relative.
Right.
How much time off each year is an employee able to take to look after a relative look after me and look
after me as if somebody is sick.
All right.
So here's talking about somebody being sick right here.
So Stafford had three weeks when this went for three weeks and I'm sick or carers leave to care for
somebody again the same language everybody does sending them late which for a relative who sick carers
leave.
As I said in a language how long can you do that you can do that for three weeks no more than three
weeks after that you have to go back to work which sucks but it's the way it is.
Three weeks
three weeks
OK and which employees may choose not to work regular hours not working regular hours which employees
can choose.
All right so here we're talking about employees.
Right.
Employees are indoors.
They have an outdoor staff there's employees right there.
Now we sent this to us talking about which employees may choose not to work regular hours
endorse they have are able to access the benefit of flexi time where I actually got to know those was
tough everybody.
This is tough.
But you got to know the flexi time means not regular hours flexi time means not regular hours.
That's our I said in some language right here flexi time not regular hours.
So this is our sentence right there for that one.
And here's our number 16 and there's our number 17.
I'm sorry 15.
Answer or answer yours indoors.
That's right.
We see that right.
Indoor staff is our answer.
Indoor staff
and number 20.
What kind of people will kind of professional people can employees see
here's 19 20 has to be in here.
So all I'm looking for the name of professional people.
All right here it is right here.
The A.P. provides registered psychologists.
What kind of people.
These are the only specific group of people that I see that has the answer right.
So we see that the AP provides.
Right.
It provides it.
So what kind of people do they provide.
OK.
They provide registered psychologist registered psychologists.
And so that's where a number of 20 years right here.
And our answer is right here
registered psychologist
All right.
And actually you would.
Some people might say well if you put psychologists is that OK.
Yeah.
Well because this is like a write you words I'm going to write the full two words.
OK everybody.
So
that will do it in terms of wrapping up our review of the short answer question.
All right.
