Recalling previous lessons

In the next slides, you will get some questions about the use of strategies for:

- Multiple-choice questions

- True/False questions

-Gap-fill questions

True/False questions: what is the first step you take?

1. Mark the keywords in the answers
2. Look for synonyms in the text
3. Read the question and statements
4. Look for certain words like "always", "never" etc.

True/False questions: If you cannot find the statement in the text, it is always 'False'

1. True
2. False
3. Maybe
4. Iunno -.-

True/False questions: are worth a maximum of how many points?

1. 1
2. 2
3. 3
4. 4

Gap-fill questions: It is important to read until the gap in the text + 1 sentence after it

1. It do be like that!
2. That's not true!
3. I have no clue tbh >.>
4. gap-fill questions???

Gap-fill questions: How can signal-words ('because', 'however', 'and' etc) help you?

1. The answer is usually a signal-word
2. Signal-words help us find meaning in a text
3. Signal-words are the answer to life!
4. Signal-words show the connection with the missing word

Gap-fill questions: If all else fails, you try to guess/gambling the answer

1. Gambling is haram though =\
2. I always guess/gamble on multiple-choice questions!
3. That is true according to the strategy
4. That is not true according to the strategy

MC-questions: What is the first thing you try?

1. Try to find the answer without looking at the options
2. Use your instinct and stick with it!
3. Ienne miene mutte..
4. Mark the questions and try again later

MC-questions: After step 1, compare your answer to the choices and pick the one that is closest to it

1. Truths
2. Lies!
3. idk =\
4. What day is it today? 🙃

MC-questions: when in doubt..

1. pray and cry
2. eliminate the BS answers (there's always 1 or 2 BS answers)
