Let me see. 5 out of 20. She seriously filled again. Badly. Look at this pathetic answer there. Jessica, you cannot say pathetic. Your sister is really trying her best. I mean, pathetic is a cool word to use. Sorry. We need to help Meri with her reading skills and how to answer comprehension questions. Definitely. She doesn't even follow her instructions. Yes. Instructions are so important. We need to speak to her today. Where is she? Probably watching TV. As usual. Let's call her. Doing is my stuff and who gave you permission to go to my bed? I mean, with your bag. Your people just lying on the desk. Listen, you two. It's not his fighting over this. Let's rather find a way to help your sister. Who said I need help? Your paper does. Meri, we need to talk about your test. You failed against me. No, I didn't. It's an E, not an ungraded. Yes, Meri. 5 out of 20 is a fail. You can do so much better if you improve on your reading skills and how to answer comprehension questions. I hate English and that teacher just wants to make my life a living hell. Look, Ains, I got all these first answers right just because I did not encircle the letters. She marked it all wrong. Correct. You did not follow the instructions. If the question instructs you to encircle the appropriate answer, you should do so. And how could you assume any spelling errors? Like you know how to spell. Meri, you're supposed to copy your answer from the text. Jessica is right. Give me your paper. See? Question 12. You only needed to copy the word from the text. How could I be so stupid? I didn't even see that. It's just that sometimes you don't get enough time during tests. Do you know how to skim and scan through a text to look for answers? I know you. Yes, I do. I've got a DVD of that. We can watch it together. This DVD won't start. It always has a problem. Sure, play it butter. Finally. You do not need to read the whole text intensively. You can just skim and scan through the text to find the answers. Ha? Listen, make sure that you read the instructions carefully. That's the golden rule. Read the instructions. Alright, I think I'll have to note a lot of this down. Don't you? That's a good idea. You should read the title and introduction of the text. It will give you an idea of what the text is about. Read the questions. Skim the text to see if you can find the answers to the questions. When you scan a text, you should not read every word. Aha, but you never find all the answers. All the answers appear in the text. The questions are usually asked in the same order as the paragraphs appear in the text. This means that you should look for the answers to the question. From the first to the last paragraph and not randomly. That really helps not to waste so much time looking for answers. Usually, but remember, not always. It seems you also have problems with the meaning of some of the words in the text. Yeah, sometimes what's too difficult to understand, then I'm really confused and just want to give up. Why don't you underline those words you don't know the meaning of? Especially if you need to know it in order to do the exercise, then consult your dictionary. That way you learn new words all the time. I suppose so, but you're not allowed to use dictionaries in the examination. No one will write in tests. You could try to infer the meaning from the context. What's unfair? To arrive at the most probable meaning of the word. Just read the sentence before the one the word appears in and the sentence after it. Try and guess what the word in this context means. Aha, I get it. I hope it is that easy. It won't be at the beginning, but you should get a hang of it later on. Yeah, I know that. You should also pay attention to mark allocation. If a question is worth three marks, it will require a longer answer than a question that is worth one mark. Yeah, I know that. Do you know the difference between various types of questions? Yeah, what questions and why questions. What question mean that you should name or explain something? Why questions mean you should give a reason. I see. My goodness, I still have a lot to know. One is never too old to learn something new. Not due to questions. Yup, make it pick and snappy. No Jesse, we should help her. No, I don't need help for now. We're here if you need more help. We really don't need your help Jesse. I now know how to do this. No problem Mary, I'll send him to finish my homework. Okay, for these first questions, I only need to suck up the correct answers. That easy. Don't forget a name marked out of the capital letter. Oops, I forgot. Never forget your grammar rules. They still do apply when answering comprehension questions. English has too many rules. For all the other subjects, you get them up whether the answers work correctly or not. I know, but that should not be the case. English is a language and we should follow the rules at least you don't have to study any content for English. That's so true. Hey, you can't say no when the question clearly stays true or false. But what's the difference between false and no? You're not following the instructions. Why is a... Please spell correctly. Huh? What? False, not place. Why don't you make use of the index finger when copying from the text? That's what I used to do. While in the Leni and Maddy carry on making corrections, can you make a list of important points to remember when completing a comprehension exercise? Read quickly, but carefully through the whole passage and questions. Read again, paying attention to the demands of questions asked. Pay attention to key words. Pick out relevant information that answers the question. Make sure you choose the most appropriate answer from those suggested. Understand the vocabulary and try to explain or replace specific words and phrases with your own. Consider the value of the question. What is it worth so that you know how much time to spend on it and how much detail to include? Underline the relevant sections that relate to the key words in the question. Put down the question number to guide you. Remember, korek spialing and grammatical accuracy are important. With multiple choice questions, carefully study the different options and choose the most appropriate one to answer through or false questions you should read the passage carefully, referring back to the passage to verify each statement given. Make sure you understand what the question wants you to do. You may be asked to quote, tick or encircle the correct answer or to use your own words. Also make sure you understand the vocabulary but do not waste time in the examination looking for difficult words. Be brief. Do not repeat the question as part of your answer. Okay, I think I'm done now. Cool. Great. Let me see. I'm so proud of you. Thanks for helping me in. You're welcome. Yeah, you too. Thanks sis. This concludes our first program in the series.
