Transcripts
hi everyone this is Kathy from House of
TOEFL and today's video is going to be
about the summary question in the
reading section of the TOEFL IBT now I
get a lot of requests to teach the
summary question because it's worth two
points so it's a big chunk of your score
so people always want to know how to
solve it so let's talk about that
question in today's video now as you may
know I wrote a book about the reading
section which you can purchase on Amazon
which I will link in the video
description below but today I want to go
over some strategies for how to solve
this question that is worth two points
now the first thing I want to say is
it's extremely difficult to solve this
question if you haven't done the first
nine questions of course in the real
test this won't be an issue you but a
lot of students come to me and say Kathy
I want to take a lesson and I just want
to study the summary question
to which I reply
well have you seen the Harry Potter
movies and if they say no then I say
well summarize the Harry Potter movies
they say but I can't Kathy I haven't
seen the Harry Potter movies
exactly if you haven't done those nine
questions it's going to be very
difficult to solve the tenth the summary
question so I tell students I cannot
really teach you the summary question if
we haven't done the previous nine
questions it doesn't make sense those
questions are in an order for a reason
so my first tip is don't try to get good
at the summary questions on their own
without doing the first nine questions
the second reason for that is because
there will be Clues along the way those
nine questions actually do contain Clues
they tell you what the important ideas
of the passage are and I have found a
lot of times the answers to the those
questions actually appear as correct
answer Selections in the summary
questions so try to remember the answers
to the questions that you answered as
you go through questions one to nine try
to remember what parts of the text
ETS directed your attention to those May
reappear in the summary now let's say
you've done that you've done the first
nine questions and you get to that
summary question step one is to read the
sentence they give you that's in bold
that is almost like a title it tells you
what the opening statement is about
now the next thing you want to do is
going to seem very counter-intuitive
it's going to seem like the opposite of
what you're used to or accustomed to
it's going to seem strange but what I do
is I look for incorrect answers now that
seems weird Kathy why would you look for
the wrong answers easy so I can
eliminate them because for the first
year or so I was teaching TOEFL when I
got to the summary question in the
reading I was looking for the correct
answers that seemed logical to me but
the problem was I was getting two out of
three correct then when I reversed my
strategy all of a sudden I was starting
to do much better to the point where I
am where I am now as an author of a
reading book and I teach students okay
let's look for the wrong answers now
first of all one will usually pop out as
very obviously wrong it will be off
topic or it will be something you don't
even remember seeing so it's really easy
to eliminate now what I like to do for
this one is actually write down the
letter and put an X through it so if B
is very obviously wrong I'll write down
a b and put a big extra it and then I
don't look at B again this is one of the
very few times I actually use the pencil
and paper during the TOEFL reading
section I don't write down a lot during
the reading section but here I do it
helps me to keep track of the answers
I'm no longer going to look at because
again time is of the essence time is
very important so once you've gotten rid
of an answer you don't want to keep
coming back to that answer
now let's talk about how to identify
those trickier answer choices that look
like they might be right one thing that
you want to look out for of course and
this is true for the entire reading
section is Extreme answers so those will
have things like all Always Forever
never those types of answers are
typically incorrect you should double
check because it's not a hundred percent
of the time but ninety percent of the
time extreme answers are not correct the
other thing you should be aware of is
comparisons those are also usually not
correct that is true for the entire
reading section when I say comparisons I
mean X is bigger than y
uh Z is more important than a uh B is
less significant than D you know these
kinds of things that compare two things
look for as as big as as small as look
for the word then
t-h-a-n that word is a comparative word
those are usually incorrect again not a
hundred percent of the time but ninety
percent of the time if you feel a
comparison is correct that's fine but I
would suggest you go back to the passage
and you check just to be sure because
typically those are not correct
then there will be things that are not
even mentioned in the passage but look
good because they use some of the same
language so if you have a big passage
about raccoons and habitats and the word
woodlands and trees and arboreal and
those types of words the ETS might take
those words put them in an answer choice
but if you actually read that answer
Choice carefully you'll realize that was
not even in the passage at all so beware
of just trying to match words we want to
actually match content not just words
the other thing is of course something
that is a twisted meaning right so it's
twisted in some way for example there
might be a passage that says that the
Alexandria library in Egypt was a
cultural center that spread the Greek
language throughout the Middle East
maybe an answer Choice says Scholars
came to the library in Alexandria to
study the Greek Greek language now that
reverses the fact that okay the language
spread from this Library it reverses it
to Scholars came to the library so that
makes that answer Choice incorrect
um then you're going to have answers
that the ETS just simply makes up it's
not anywhere to be found in the passage
but you do have to be careful because I
have one thing to tell you that's very
important sometimes you might notice
that there's a paragraph or at the very
end a few sentences that you didn't have
to read hmm well ETS has a little trick
and this little trick they do is they
won't ask you to read a paragraph you
don't have to read it at all
so you never answered any questions
about it and then
in the summary
there's actually a question related to
that paragraph you didn't read
so my recommendation to solve that
problem is take note you know I didn't
have to read paragraph four or answer
any questions
better read paragraph four just to make
sure that they're not trying to distract
me because they think I haven't read it
okay
another tip is if there are two answer
choices that are very similar then you
one has to go they will not both be
correct so let's say that there's two
answer choices that both discuss the
importance of religion in ancient Greece
and they both discuss religion but in a
different way well only one of those can
be correct and I found that to be true
in every TOEFL test I've ever taken so
if you have the same topic only one is
correct every answer choice you pick
should be quite different now I have one
more thing to say before I let you go
and that is when you look at the
instructions for the summary question it
says that incorrect answers may be Minor
Details
true that I don't think is true now you
might say but Kathy it's in the
instructions okay fair enough but how
many thousands of reading passages have
I done
that's not really one of their traps
that it's a minor detail they know that
you as the reader are not going to be
able to distinguish a major idea from a
minor idea that was in the passage but
it's minor I mean how would you really
know that you can't read the author's
mind to know what he thinks is major and
minor so what I have found is this idea
in the instructions that you can
eliminate something because it's a minor
idea doesn't really apply but it traps a
lot of my students why because they see
a short sentence and think oh it's short
it just has a few words let's get rid of
it it's a minor idea because it's short
no short answers can actually be correct
because it can be densely packed with
information
like imagine the sentence that
Alexander's Empire opened up new market
economies for art artists and Traders
that continued many centuries after his
death
short sentence but guess what it has a
lot of information packed into just a
few words so don't eliminate something
just because it's short
okay I think I'll leave it at that uh of
course I'm gonna put a link to my book
in the description and you can always
reach out and I'll put my email address
down there House of TOEFL at gmail.com
