Part 3

Kĩ thuật rút gọn thông tin các đáp án của dạng câu hỏi Multiple

Choice

Trong 90% các đáp án dài (khoảng 3-4 từ trở lên) thì từ quan trọng nhất

sẽ thường là DANH TỪ, để tìm ra các danh từ quan trọng này, ta thực hiện song song các bước sau:

1 Đọc qua để hiểu các đáp án + loại bỏ tất cả các từ/ cụm từ giống nhau giữa các đáp án.

2 Bỏ giới từ/ động từ/ hoặc các từ nối nối giữa các danh từ trong câu lại với nhau.

3 Bỏ các pronoun (he, she, they, it)

4 Bỏ chủ ngữ giả (it is, there is/are)

*Đáp án ngắn (khoảng 3-4 từ trở xuống thì sẽ tuỳ câu mà ứng dụng các bước trên)

Tips:

- Không chọn đáp án mà từ quan trọng bị nhắc giống y hệt.

- Không chọn đáp án có chứa từ ‘council’ (95% là sai).

- Đáp án đúng thường chứa từ ‘local’ (từ này dễ bị paraphrase)

- Không chọn đáp án có chứa các từ so sánh nhất, so sánh hơn, so sánh bằng (phải học thuộc bảng so sánh).

*Lưu ý: nếu cả 3 đáp án đều có so sánh thì không áp dụng được cách này.

- Chú ý các câu hỏi có từ most, main …vì đáp án có chứa từ

paraphrase của most, main … (làm hết các bài part 2 của 2 cuốn 15

16 – đọc file của thầy và ghi ra hết các từ đồng nghĩa của most, main…)

- Chú ý câu hỏi có từ ‘surprised’, vì đáp án đúng có các từ paraphrase của nó – ví dụ: ‘amazed’, ‘hadn’t expected’, ‘hadn’t predicted’ …

- Chú ý các câu hỏi có từ ‘now’ vì đáp án đúng có các từ paraphrase của nó – ví dụ: at the moment, at present, currently

- Đáp án đúng là đáp án thường có từ ‘thay đổi – change’ hoặc các từ paraphrase của nó như gốc ‘trans’ trong từ ‘transfer’, hoặc

‘transform’, hoặc thậm chí ‘flexible’ cũng là thay đổi

B questionnaire distribution

C collection of completed questionnaires

D the next meeting with her tutor

E analysis of figures from the company's database

I know that it shouldn't be too long or people get bored.

No, but if it's too short, you don't get enough information The trick is to get the balance right

I think the question should be closed questions too I mean where people choose an answer from

a list?

But then you missed the chance of getting unexpected information, so I'd include one or two ended questions too

open-OK

And I won't ask for names or addresses or anything

No, it needs to be anonymous and after you've drafted it, you need to give it to at least one person

to check if there aren't any problems, so you need to leave enough time for that and any revisions necessary

What about the covering letter that I'll send out with the questionnaire? I'll need to introduce myselfand explain what the questionnaire is for But what else should I include?

I'd reassure people that the survey isn't going to be used to assess them personally, otherwise they might choose not to take part

Yes, I'll make that clear

And what about when they do it? Will they be allowed to use work time

That's really up to their manager, but you should say roughly how much time it will take

So now you need to produce a schedule with dates For example, when you'll send out the

questionnaire

Yes, OK Once I can arrange that date with the manager, I'll be able to fix the deadline for getting the completed questionnaires back And I want to use the time in between to analyse the figures that HR is going to give me from their database Though they haven't said exactly when I'll get them

And you have to submit your assignment by the end of June

Actually I have to get it finished by the second because I've arranged a work placement after that.OK

So our next meeting is two weeks today Is that still OK?

Yes And in the meantime, I'll send you an

Activities

27 going to Mechanical Engineers' Society meetings ………

28 Visiting different workplaces       ………

29 getting some work experience abroad ………

30 attending an international conference ………

Before you go though, I'd like quickly to run through what you should be doing over the next few months, not just for your dissertation, but also to help your chances of getting the research post you'd like Is that OK with you?

Yes, that would be really helpful

Well, you certainly need to become a member of the Mechanical Engineering Society And then you'll be able to go along to their meetings there You must make a point of making yourself known to various people like Professor Jones He's the current president and is very approachable

OK, so I could do some networking there

Exactly Also, I think you should try to set up some visits to industry Go to a lot of different workplaces just

to see how things are done It's actually a very good way of making sure you're familiar with the cutting edge of what's going on textbooks, even academic articles sometimes lag behind industry

That sounds really interesting Also, I'd love the chance to do a bit of work abroad for a while

That's actually the next thing I was going to recommend I'm sure we could set up a month for you in either the states or Canada And that would be a great way to find out how things are done elsewhere

That would be good Thank you

And the last thing I was going to suggest was that you could go to the European Water Engineering

Conference being held in Spain in May

I could even present my dissertation there Yes Ohh, thank you so much That's all really helpful

Good So now if we

Questions 26-30

Job opportunities

A make business contacts

B understand customer relations

C learn time management

D use a foreign language

E travel to another country

F receive financial training

G learn project management

Do you know what job opportunities these companies offer interns?

I've searched online and browsed some of the schemes

Do you know SAIC?

Yes, I heard they offer internship positions dealing with customer interaction management But I'm not quitesure what that means

Well, the position offers the chance to become fully aware of customer value and keep in touch with

customers to keep them highly engaged and satisfied These include activities such as PR, communications, marketing and customer service

Sounds like loads of work to do What about Gemini technology?

It's an IT consulting company, although many employees say it's stressful working there, I want to apply for this one

Why is that?

Actually, the company provides service to improve software architecture, but that's pretty demanding as a team of software engineers has to provide detailed analysis and suggestions for required changes before the deadline As an observer and participant of a particular project, an intern can learn how to work to a strict deadline

That's not my area of expertise, but I'm sure you'll excel at this

I certainly do hope so

Have you checked out Deloitte?

Of course, that's a renowned accounting firm and thus its internships offer excellent learning experiences in this regard You know, things like examining a company's financial statements, the income statement, balance sheet and cash flow statement I want to give it a try, but I might get rejected So I need a back up plan Have you read anything about Kearney?

Yes, it is another consulting firm It provides opportunities to reach out to other business partners and pay attention to networking

Well, that sounds interesting

I'm thinking about vortex, but I haven't got anything useful from its website

I worked there last summer It's an international company with headquarters in Spain, so most of the

managers here speak Spanish thanks to the internship experience, I became fluent in it

Right That's not for me

Write the correct letter, A-H

Which special characteristic does each of the following types of dolphin have?

Special characteristics

A swim along behind boats

B swim in unusually large groups

C live along New Zealand's entire coastline

D swim beneath slow-moving boats

E tend to be solitary

F live only off New Zealand's northwest coast

G are the second largest dolphin species in New Zealand

H are seen mostly in Kaikoura

Types of dolphin

25 Common dolphins ………

26 Dusky dolphins ………

27 Hector's dolphins ………

28 Maui's dolphins ………

29 Orcas ………

30 Bottle-nose dolphins………

OK, so how do you suggest I structure my part of?

The talk Well, you could start with the common dolphin, which inhabits the whole of the sea around New Zealand And once you've covered everything to do with them, feeding and so on, you could go on to the more unusual types The dusky dolphin is especially interesting because you know how all the Dolphins travel in small social groups called pods, while the dusky dolphins travel in pods as big as 800 members? And I think the duskies like to travel along beside fishing and tourist boats, don't they? Whereas the Hector's dolphins are different in that they prefer to go in the wake of boats, that is coming along in the rear

Yeah, they do But they also dive down deep to avoid fast boats

Ohh, let's not forget the Maui because they are endangered too, aren't they? There are only 150 of them left and they inhabit only the western coastal waters off the North Island of New Zealand

Yeah, it's a pity they also face problems because of their tiny size Now the orca is actually a dolphin too, right?

Yes, surprisingly so I'll include that in my talk People call them killer whales, but in fact, they're not whales They're a huge and very fierce type of dolphin

In New Zealand, Kaikoura in the South Island is the best place to spot orchards swimming by, so people mistakenly think that's where they live But actually orchards cover vast distances

Let's not forget to mention the Bottlenose It's bigger than nearly all the other dolphins, even the common dolphin.

Oh, but still not as big as the orca, right?

That's right Well, I think that's our presentation done now

Teachers

26 Bob Lacey  ………

28 Ted Winter  ………

29 Kevin Gray  ………

30 Dorothy Thomas ………

Well, that's got the report sorted Thanks Have you decided which teachers workshops you're going to do next term?

I want to do Bob Lacy's who's got a brilliant reputation for voice coaching, you know, getting us

to use dialects and different pronunciation and stuff He gets you to do things like read out a newspaper article in character It's amazing

I'm thinking of going to Evelyn chances workshop

Oh, Evelyn She's quite a character Is she running the stage fights course again

Yes, fencing, and pretend punches and throwing techniques She really knows how to help actors use the whole of the space available

Lots of people like Ted winters workshop

He knows how to deliver He's keen on actors conveying emotion through their bodies and faces alone It's a great way to reveal complex relationships and situations to an audience without making a speech of any kind I'm definitely going to sign up for that one

If you want to understand the director's ideas, Kevin Gray's workshop would be perfect for you

He likes telling people what to do And he's always saying ‘you can't have a company of actors
