Full transcript
- 0:00It takes three sentences and you pay
- 0:01attention all [music] three sentences
- 0:03are talking about the advantages of the
- 0:06positive sides of electric vehicles
- 0:07[music] but you look at the paragraph
- 0:09there are negative sides and there are
- 0:10tons of things written. So you do this
- 0:13content maybe one out of four and cannot
- 0:16be even two or three or [music] four
- 0:17minimum three to four marks you would
- 0:18lose straight away towards your reading
- 0:19and writing. Remember this TT summarize
- 0:21written text. What if I told you there
- 0:23are some slight changes and we may have
- 0:26to change the strategy [music] of copy
- 0:28paste method. Meaning the copypaste
- 0:30method could be risky. What you should
- 0:32be [music] doing to get better scores
- 0:34instead of copypasting is what I'm going
- 0:36to discuss in today's video. Want to
- 0:38understand more about the working
- 0:40strategy for summarize a written text
- 0:42[music] with the recent changes? Make
- 0:44sure you watch the video till the end.

- 1:43your preparation links in the
- 1:45description. All right, without any
- 1:46further delay, let's straight away get
- 1:48right into summarize written text has
- 1:50changed. Let's understand the new
- 1:52method. When we talk about summarized
- 1:54written text, remember for PT academic
- 1:55two questions approximately 18 to 20
- 1:58marks towards your writing and 18 to 20
- 2:00marks towards your reading. Very very
- 2:02important one for PT core again one or
- 2:04two questions approximately 6 to 8 marks
- 2:06to writing and 6 to8 marks to reading.
- 2:08The only change with respect to PT
- 2:09academic and PT core is the content has
- 2:12been increased to PT academic to four
- 2:14marks and for PT core it is still two.
- 2:16Apart from that rest of the things are
- 2:18almost the same. Grammar is two
- 2:19vocabulary is two content for and form
- 2:22is two marks. For PT academic you're
- 2:24supposed to write between 5 to 75 words.
- 2:26For PT core it's between 25 to 50 words.
- 2:29And one important thing for PD academic
- 2:31is you got to write in one single
- 2:32sentence. There should be one full stop.
- 2:34PD core there could be more than one
- 2:36full stop. And whatever today I'm
- 2:37discussing, we'll cover both PT academic
- 2:39and core. Before we delve into
- 2:41understanding what has changed, which
- 2:43method is very risky, let's understand
- 2:44the four different types of summarized
- 2:46written text that can appear in the exam
- 2:48for both PT academic and for PT code.
- 2:51Number first type is a general
- 2:52paragraph. A paragraph which is very
- 2:54normal, a normal paragraph that used to
- 2:55come all these years, a normal sentence
- 2:57paragraph, two paragraphs or three
- 2:59paragraphs or one paragraph, a generic
- 3:00category. Second type is poems. poems um
- 3:04will come not very rare telling you a
- 3:06lot of students are getting poems these
- 3:07days two two poems and then conversation
- 3:09might come again not very rare many are
- 3:11getting conversations as well and last
- 3:13type question and type well we're going
- 3:15to discuss all these four type today and
- 3:16see the new method that actually work
- 3:19all right let's now understand what is
- 3:20not working copy paste method is not
- 3:23working it works but what is not working
- 3:25let's understand what is copy paste
- 3:26method wherein you take three or four
- 3:28sentences as it is copy them and paste
- 3:31them using the template Sentence 1 comma
- 3:33and sentence 2 comma but sentence three
- 3:36full stop or you can also use while
- 3:38sentence 1 comma sentence 2 semicolon
- 3:40sentence 3 comma and sentence four full
- 3:42stop any of these you can use what is
- 3:44not working here the templates are
- 3:45working the structure is working exactly
- 3:47as it is you can copy paste but what is
- 3:49not working let me make it very clear to
- 3:52you all when you take sentence one
- 3:53sentence two sentence three sentence
- 3:55four you have to take the summary points
- 3:57you cannot take some random thing well I
- 3:59believe in many of the videos I've made
- 4:01a mind to tell you that when you take
- 4:03four or three sentences, make sure take
- 4:05one in the beginning, one in the middle,
- 4:07one towards the end, which 99% of the
- 4:09times covers the summary. But what
- 4:11people end up doing, they take first
- 4:13sentence, second sentence, third
- 4:14sentence, sentence one, sentence two,
- 4:15sentence three. This is not the way.
- 4:17This method is very very risky. This is
- 4:20not how you perform summarize written
- 4:22text. Let me give you a quick
- 4:23demonstration on the same and then
- 4:25suggest a new method wherein you
- 4:27understand the main ideas and then rank
- 4:29them, categorize them, choose the unique
- 4:31ones. Well, the list of steps soon I'm
- 4:33going to unveil that. But let's look at
- 4:34this particular paragraph. All right,
- 4:36look at this particular paragraph.
- 4:37Electric vehicles are rapidly gaining
- 4:39popularity as the world seeks cleaner
- 4:41and more sustainable alternatives to
- 4:42fossil fuel power transportation. The
- 4:44student will pick up this sentence.
- 4:46Sentence one. Unlike traditional
- 4:47gasoline and diesel cars, EVs produce
- 4:50zero emissions making them an
- 4:51environmental friendly option. This
- 4:53student will not pick because they're
- 4:54adjacent. Student picks the third
- 4:56sentence. Advances in battery technology
- 4:58have significantly improved the
- 4:59efficiency and range of EVs. He put a
- 5:01full stop meaning he ends the sentence
- 5:02and then he takes the sentence three. He
- 5:04starts with it makes them a practical
- 5:06choice for daily commuting as well as
- 5:08long-distance travel. He takes three
- 5:09sentences and you pay attention all
- 5:12three sentences are talking about the
- 5:14advantages or the positive sides of
- 5:16electric vehicles. But you look at the
- 5:18paragraph there are negative sides and
- 5:19there are tons of things written. So you
- 5:21do this content maybe one out of four
- 5:24and cannot be even two or three or four
- 5:26minimum three to four marks you would
- 5:27lose straight away towards your reading
- 5:29and writing. Remember this. Moving on.
- 5:30When you read the rest of the paragraph,
- 5:32you understand. However, the widespread
- 5:33adoption of electric vehicles still face
- 5:35some challenges including high
- 5:36manufacturing cost, negative sites,
- 5:38downsides, limited charging
- 5:39infrastructure and battery disposal
- 5:41concerns. The next sentence, many
- 5:43governments are offering incentives,
- 5:44some solution they're talking about.
- 5:46After that, with continued investments
- 5:47in renewable energy and technological
- 5:49improvements, electric vehicles are
- 5:51expected to become this this this in the
- 5:52future. Futuristic prediction, there are
- 5:54multiple things spoken. There is this
- 5:57advantages there is this downside there
- 5:59is this government trying their own
- 6:01things to support and then the future
- 6:03prediction there are multiple four
- 6:04things being talked and you pick only
- 6:06the advantage content one out of four
- 6:09how can you get content four out of four
- 6:10it's logical so when I say take four
- 6:12sentences exactly as it is choose the
- 6:14right sentence and what is the
- 6:16step-by-step strategy to choose right
- 6:18sentences the main idea sentences let's
- 6:20figure it out so basically how to choose
- 6:22the sentences that contain main ideas
- 6:24step number one I Highlight all the
- 6:26sentences you think are important. Just
- 6:29highlight them. Probably you can leave
- 6:30one or two or highlight all of them.
- 6:31Doesn't matter. Step number two,
- 6:33categorize them. Now when I say
- 6:35categorize, you should know what it is
- 6:37talking about and giving a title. Like I
- 6:38told you, positives, downsides,
- 6:41government trying the best and then
- 6:42futuristic prediction. Categorize them.
- 6:45Now you will get to know in each
- 6:46category how many main ideas have you
- 6:48chosen. That is called ranking them. I
- 6:51repeat, highlight all the sentences you
- 6:53think are important. Now categorize this
- 6:55sentence title is this. This sentence
- 6:56title is this. Like this you categorize
- 6:58them and then you rank them. Let's say
- 7:00you categorized four sentences as
- 7:01positives. Now positive positive
- 7:03positive positive. You cannot write all
- 7:04four positives when there are other
- 7:06categories. So you rank them positive 1
- 7:092 3 4. I'll pick this middle one because
- 7:11probably this is a significant one. Rank
- 7:14them and choose one towards the end. Use
- 7:16those sentences that belong to unique
- 7:19categories. meaning probably one from
- 7:21the positives, one from negative, one
- 7:23from what government is trying to do and
- 7:25one from the future prediction for this
- 7:27particular paragraph. It could be
- 7:28something else for another paragraph.
- 7:30I'll again repeat the step. Pay more
- 7:32attention. Highlight all the sentences
- 7:34you think are important. Then whatever
- 7:36the sentences you highlighted,
- 7:38categorize them. Now whatever the
- 7:39categories that you've got, rank them.
- 7:41If there is more than one sentence in
- 7:43the category, take only one from them.
- 7:44If there are three sentences, take one
- 7:46by ranking them. And towards the end,
- 7:47make sure you have all the unique
- 7:49category sentences written. 1,000% you
- 7:52will get content four out of four. Let's
- 7:55see a quick demonstration on the same.
- 7:57All right, for the same paragraph, I'm
- 7:58going to start with unlike traditional
- 7:59gasoline and diesel cars, EVs produce
- 8:01zero emissions, making them an
- 8:02environmental friendly option that helps
- 8:04reduce air pollution and carbon
- 8:05footprints. That is my first sentence.
- 8:07I'm going to pick that up. Advances in
- 8:09battery technology are significantly
- 8:11improved. This is from the same
- 8:12category. I'm going to check them.
- 8:14However, the widespread adoption of
- 8:15electric vehicles still face some
- 8:17challenges including this this this.
- 8:18Yes, I'm going to talk about the
- 8:20challenges as my second sentence. One
- 8:22moment. I'm just copying that.
- 8:26And then I'm going to talk about many
- 8:27governments are offering incentives.
- 8:30That's a different category. I will take
- 8:32all the unique categories. This way my
- 8:34summary will be perfect with continued
- 8:36investment. This is a solution or a
- 8:39futuristic prediction. Now these four
- 8:41sentences have done. Now sentence one
- 8:43comma and
- 8:45sentence two comma bat. Pay more
- 8:47attention. And last one and. Can I do
- 8:52this? Yes, you can do. But we will see
- 8:54how to properly fix this. Sentence one
- 8:56talks about positive. Sentence two talks
- 8:57about negative. So I'll remove the and
- 8:59and add but. All right. But the white
- 9:02adoption. And sentence three talks about
- 9:05something else. I'm going to add and
- 9:06many governments are offering
- 9:07incentives. Sentence four talks about
- 9:09some futuristic prediction. So I'm going
- 9:10to add so fan voice any of it you can
- 9:12use. Now if I copy and check this it is
- 9:1597 voice not accepted remember PT core
- 9:1825 to 50 PT academic 5 to 75. So let's
- 9:22remove few of the things now I'll remove
- 9:24this are expected to become the dominant
- 9:27mode of transportation in the near
- 9:28future and I'm ending it because that's
- 9:30an end of a sentence that's still
- 9:31continuing it with additional
- 9:32information. Now I'm going to check this
- 9:3587 words. Okay, I'll remove a few of
- 9:36them. Probably I will talk about
- 9:37widespread adoption of electric vehicles
- 9:39still face challenges including high
- 9:41manufacturing blah blah blah. I am
- 9:43removing this.
- 9:45Now we will check probably this would
- 9:47come under the 76. I need one more word
- 9:50to be removed. Probably I'll take so
- 9:53with continued investment in energy and
- 9:56technological improvements I'm going to
- 9:58remove. And this going to be 73. Perfect
- 10:02answer. 10,000% you'll get content four
- 10:06out of four and the grammar is all
- 10:07perfect. You can also use while sentence
- 10:09one comma sentence two semicolon
- 10:11sentence three comma and sentence for
- 10:13full stop. That also works. The only
- 10:15change is well copy paste method still
- 10:17works. The only change is what you are
- 10:19copying and pasting. Don't randomly take
- 10:21take the main ideas. Take the ideas that
- 10:24actually give you the perfect score
- 10:26using the strategy that I talked about.
- 10:28List all the ideas categorize them. Rank
- 10:31them write the unique category ones.
- 10:33done and tested. All right, we take up
- 10:35one more question. Uh just observe how I
- 10:37do it. In recent years, many
- 10:38universities have started offering
- 10:39online courses as an alternative to
- 10:41traditional classroom education. This is
- 10:43intro. The next line, online learning
- 10:45provides students with greater
- 10:46flexibility, allowing them to study from
- 10:48home. Positives. It can also reduce
- 10:50travel expenses and make education
- 10:52available to people. Positives. One of
- 10:54the positives I'm going to take.
- 10:55However, downside online education has
- 10:58certain limitations. What limitations?
- 10:59Some students find it difficult to
- 11:01remain motivated. Negatives. Technical
- 11:04problems such as poor internet
- 11:05connection can also interrupt learning.
- 11:07Negatives. Practical subjects that
- 11:09require laboratory work or face toface
- 11:11training may not be effectively taught.
- 11:12Negatives. Despite these challenges,
- 11:15improvements in educational technology
- 11:17have made it more interactive solution.
- 11:19Um some technology related advanced
- 11:22solution. Therefore rather than a
- 11:24completely replacing therefore is a
- 11:26conclusion. So I've got intro,
- 11:28positives, negatives, solution to a
- 11:31particular problem and then there is a
- 11:32conclusion. I try to use all the unique
- 11:34categories as much as possible. If it is
- 11:36really crossing 75 words, probably I
- 11:39will remove one of them. So let's do
- 11:40this. I'll consider positives. Probably
- 11:42I'll start with online learning till
- 11:44convenient times. All right. Comma. And
- 11:48I'll take has certain limitations. What
- 11:50limitations? Some students find it
- 11:51difficult. And this is one of them
- 11:54negatives. And then I'll say
- 11:57improvements in educational technology
- 11:58have made online learning interactive
- 12:00through this
- 12:02great solutions and then therefore
- 12:04rather than this this this
- 12:06online learning is likely to become an
- 12:09important complimentary method. So now I
- 12:12have gotten these four sentences. I will
- 12:14probably use while
- 12:19S1,
- 12:22S2,
- 12:24semicolon
- 12:25after semicolon, it should start with a
- 12:27small letter. S3 improvements in
- 12:29educational technology have made uh blah
- 12:31blah blah and digital assessments. It
- 12:33was very sorry
- 12:35assessments comma and while S1 comma S2
- 12:38semicolon S3 comma and S4 now and rather
- 12:42than completely replacing traditional
- 12:44education online learning is likely to
- 12:46become an important complimentary method
- 12:47that gives students blah blah blah I
- 12:49will check this 77 words I need to
- 12:51remove two three words probably I'll
- 12:53take of become an important
- 12:55complimentary method that gives students
- 12:57greater choice
- 13:00then I test it 75
- 13:0310,000% content will be four out of four
- 13:05because I have really taken the ones
- 13:07that get you the perfect score. All
- 13:09right. So after the generic paragraph
- 13:11will generic paragraphs will be the one
- 13:13that mostly you see but there could be
- 13:15conversational paragraphs poems and
- 13:17question and type. Let's also see if a
- 13:18method has changed for conversational
- 13:20conversational paragraph will be like
- 13:21Emma David Emma David it keeps on going
- 13:24like a conversation. Well copy paste
- 13:26method may not sound logical you have to
- 13:28write on your own. So you can you know
- 13:29refer to the previous method that I've
- 13:31explained in all the previous videos.
- 13:32Well, here as well I'm going to show you
- 13:34the demonstration. The template that
- 13:36you're going to use for the
- 13:37conversational kind of paragraph is
- 13:38while speaker one speaks or while
- 13:40speaker one says blah blah blah blah
- 13:42blah blah, speaker 2 explains blah blah
- 13:44blah blah blah blah semicolon. While S1
- 13:47comma S2 semicolon S3 and S4 or you can
- 13:50say both agree, both acknowledge both
- 13:52disagree. Or you can remove both and
- 13:53summarize one line. And you can do that
- 13:56in two sentences. Sentence three, comma,
- 13:57and sentence four if you want or one
- 13:59sentence is also fine. This is the
- 14:01structure or the template that we
- 14:03advocate for conversational kind of
- 14:05paragraph. Let me show you with a quick
- 14:07demonstration on the same. All right. So
- 14:08this is the paragraph. He must say, hey
- 14:10David, did you know caffeine affects
- 14:11more than just your energy levels? David
- 14:13says something. He must say something.
- 14:14David says something. You can pause the
- 14:16video and um understand what they're
- 14:18trying to say. Now the method that I'm
- 14:20going to tell you is highlight all the
- 14:21important things that you think is
- 14:23important. uh probably caffeine affects
- 14:26more than just your energy levels. I'm
- 14:27going to highlight it stimulates nervous
- 14:29system
- 14:31and cause anxiety, restlessness and even
- 14:33insomnia.
- 14:35Um if I have coffee late in the day, I
- 14:37cannot sleep properly. Just do it. It
- 14:39also raises your heartbeat and
- 14:40temporarily increase your blood
- 14:42pressure. And people often build a
- 14:44tolerance and experience withdrawal
- 14:45symptoms if they stop suddenly. All
- 14:48right. Uh I didn't realize it could
- 14:50affect hydration too. It's slightly
- 14:52dialectic though I not moderation is the
- 14:54key probably I will take this up one or
- 14:57two cups a day is probably fine but more
- 14:58than might be pushing it now I've
- 15:00highlighted so many things now we'll
- 15:02have to paraphrase on my own using this
- 15:04I cannot just copy paste exactly as it
- 15:06is I'll say probably while
- 15:09I'll talk about Ima while says
- 15:14caffine affects more than
- 15:19just the energy levels
- 15:25causing
- 15:27I'm adding aj and ing restlessness
- 15:34comma or even amsia this is while
- 15:37speaker one says blah blah blah blah
- 15:39blah comma speaker two now we should say
- 15:41David
- 15:44agrees
- 15:46that now David says it stimulates
- 15:48nervous system agrees that It stimulates
- 15:53central nervous system
- 15:58and he also says have coffee late in the
- 16:00day I cannot sleep properly. Let's take
- 16:02that app. So I'll continue by saying and
- 16:05sleeping will be an issue if
- 16:10coffee is consumed late in the day
- 16:13semicolon. This is called paraphrasing.
- 16:16This you will develop over the period of
- 16:18time. Correct? Now it is done. Now we
- 16:21going to talk about both agree both
- 16:22disagree. Ima says people often build a
- 16:24tolerance and experience withdrawal
- 16:26symptoms. And David says I didn't
- 16:28realize it could affect hydration too.
- 16:30Ima says moderation is the key. David
- 16:32says yes one or two is probably fine
- 16:34more than that might be pushing it. So
- 16:36we will say both agree both disagree or
- 16:39you can also say people often build a
- 16:42tolerance and experience withdrawal
- 16:43symptoms. You don't really have to go
- 16:45with the structure every time. You can
- 16:46copy paste like this. This also works.
- 16:48I'm telling you
- 16:50people often build a tolerance and
- 16:52experience withdrawal symptoms uh if
- 16:54they stop suddenly not needed.
- 16:56Withdrawal means to stop. Uh people
- 16:58often build a tolerance and experience
- 16:59withdrawal symptoms, and you can
- 17:02continue saying and moderation is
- 17:06really the key.
- 17:08But more than that, or you can say but
- 17:12more than two cups a day can be
- 17:16problematic.
- 17:18And this 64 words great 10,000% I mean
- 17:22it you will get content four out of four
- 17:24because I've used most of them you
- 17:26cannot write everything every main idea
- 17:28in your summary but whatever is possible
- 17:30we have done uh this is for
- 17:32conversational kind of paragraphs this
- 17:33was the whole method as well in today's
- 17:35video as well I'm using the same um you
- 17:37have to write the main idea main summary
- 17:39or at least if not the great main idea
- 17:41some main idea and cover all the ideas
- 17:43the unique ideas if possible helps you
- 17:45get a better score towards your reading
- 17:46and writing now we'll quickly move on to
- 17:48poems. Well, poem would look something
- 17:49like this. Literally a poem. And then
- 17:51the structure going to be different. Can
- 17:52I still use copy paste method? For most
- 17:54of the times, you can. In some cases,
- 17:56you will have to fix the grammar. So,
- 17:58this is going to be the structure or the
- 17:59template. The poem discusses war. The
- 18:01poem discusses love main idea, main
- 18:03point, main topic of the poem. By
- 18:05explaining that, talk about the main
- 18:07idea describing supporting point one and
- 18:09supporting point two. While emphasizing
- 18:11supporting point three, ultimately
- 18:12conveying the final message. Well, this
- 18:14is how it going to be. It's very easy.
- 18:16I'm going to show the live demo on how
- 18:18to choose the topic main idea supporting
- 18:20point one two and three and the final
- 18:22message. Let's start. All right, let's
- 18:24understand how to do this. The dumps of
- 18:25war echoed across peaceful villages
- 18:27filling every heart with fear and
- 18:28uncertainty. Soldiers marched towards
- 18:30probably you can take 2 three minutes to
- 18:31read it because you will have 10 minutes
- 18:33to write 2 three minutes you take and
- 18:35read the poem you will understand it's
- 18:37about war. So I'm going to replace this.
- 18:39The poem discusses war by explaining
- 18:41that what will happen in the war.
- 18:43filling every heart with fear and
- 18:44uncertainty. Carrying courage, silent
- 18:46hopes of returning home. Probably it's
- 18:48talking about destruction and suffering.
- 18:50Fear and uncertainty. People suffered.
- 18:53Probably you can just sum it up and
- 18:55probably write few words explaining that
- 18:58the poem discusses war by explaining
- 19:00that war causes
- 19:02fear and uncertainty. Describing one
- 19:06supporting point probably I'll start
- 19:08with young soldiers march towards
- 19:10battlefields. describing
- 19:13I'm going to add how
- 19:16how young soldiers take this to small
- 19:18letter marched towards distant
- 19:21battlefields and how the towns and
- 19:22fields were buried beneath dust and
- 19:25destruction. I'm going to take this up
- 19:27as second supporting point while
- 19:30emphasizing that now probably we will
- 19:32take
- 19:34communities rebuilt their homes but
- 19:36could never erase the memories of war.
- 19:38While emphasizing that I'm going to copy
- 19:40paste as it is or you can also say
- 19:42history continues to remind each
- 19:43generation that violence creates lasting
- 19:44sorrow rather than lasting solutions.
- 19:47We're going to take that up as well as
- 19:48it is exactly as it is making perfect
- 19:50sense grammatically.
- 19:53It should be small ultimately conveying
- 19:55that the true strength is found not in
- 19:57defeating an enemy but in choosing
- 19:58dialogue, understanding and compassion.
- 20:00Peace is humanity's greatest victory is
- 20:02what I am going to choose as my final
- 20:05message. And if I see it is 55 words. Is
- 20:10this enough? More than enough. If you
- 20:11want you can take it up a little
- 20:12lengthier once. All the sentences have
- 20:14cut into whatever the requirement of
- 20:17mine is. You can take up the entire
- 20:18sentence. Towards the end you add this
- 20:20because every life is precious and worth
- 20:21protecting it will become 62 words. That
- 20:23way you take here and there a little 70
- 20:25words you will get it. But this should
- 20:26still get you the perfect score. The
- 20:29last type, the recent one that I have
- 20:31seen students telling me that they've
- 20:32obtained this for both the question
- 20:34question and answer type looks something
- 20:36like this. Why have urban areas
- 20:38experienced such rapid growth over the
- 20:40past century and then the next line
- 20:41talks about the answer. After that there
- 20:44would be a continuation of the question
- 20:46probably based on the same topic urban
- 20:48area or whatever is given in the
- 20:49beginning similar topic same topic
- 20:51continuation question will be there.
- 20:52What problems has this rapid growth
- 20:54created? And then answer and then how
- 20:55can cities manage these challenges
- 20:57effectively and then answer and then
- 20:58question answer like this four or five
- 21:00times the question and answer repeats.
- 21:02And for these kind of things what I
- 21:03should be doing a very simple strategy
- 21:06leave out the question take the answer
- 21:08apply sentence 1 comma and sentence 2
- 21:10comma but sentence three you want to
- 21:11take up three or four sentences you can
- 21:13take while s1 comma s2 semicolon s3
- 21:15comma and s4 done and dusted. Let me
- 21:18show you a quick demonstration. See here
- 21:20have highlighted in the colors yellow,
- 21:22green, blue, cement color, gray color by
- 21:25the way for all the answers. I'll take
- 21:27that up as it is. While sentence one,
- 21:29sentence two. While the expansion of
- 21:30cities has been driven largely by
- 21:32industrialization, employment
- 21:33opportunities and employed
- 21:34infrastructure. Many cities now face
- 21:37overcrowding, traffic congestion. The
- 21:40second answer, I'm going to club it and
- 21:41it is still making sense. Sometimes you
- 21:43can take up the entire sentence as it
- 21:44is. If you're good with grammar, you can
- 21:46divide them into half. uh but make sure
- 21:48when you do that like I have done here
- 21:50infrastructure there's a command there's
- 21:52a continuation I stopped it there
- 21:53because I know sentence ends there even
- 21:56if I you know do not take the rest of
- 21:59the words in the sentence it is still
- 22:01grammatically correct if you think you
- 22:02don't have that hold on the language
- 22:04take up the entire sentence like this
- 22:05I've taken two merge them with sentence
- 22:08while sentence one sentence two now
- 22:10sentence three start with blue urban
- 22:11planners increasingly argue the cities
- 22:13need to invest in sustainable
- 22:14infrastructure improve public
- 22:16transportation and develop affordable
- 22:17housing Comma. It's a very lengthy
- 22:19sentence. I've stopped at housing and I
- 22:22exactly know where to stop. If you're
- 22:24not sure, then please take my entire
- 22:26sentence. Otherwise, you may mess up the
- 22:27grammar. Then take up the last one.
- 22:29Parks, gardens, and other natural areas
- 22:31can improve air quality, reduce urban
- 22:33temperature, and provide residents uh
- 22:35with opportunities for recreation. What
- 22:36about one more sentence? Everything you
- 22:38cannot cover. Whatever is possible, you
- 22:39cover. Maybe you can categorize them and
- 22:41start with unique categories. But
- 22:42everything is a unique question on the
- 22:44same category. So, you can just decide
- 22:46which one to go with. 65 67 to 70 words
- 22:49you write done and dusted. Don't copy
- 22:51the question. Take only the answer.
- 22:53That's all it is. I think that's all for
- 22:54today. I really hope I've given you more
- 22:56insights on what doesn't work, what
- 22:58works, how to take the right sentences
- 23:01so that you don't have to complain it
- 23:03again saying your reading and writing is
- 23:05so low. The problem could be summarized
- 23:07written text. I really hope I've solved
- 23:09all of your doubts. Please continue
- 23:11working on this new thing that I
- 23:12explained. Things will definitely work
- 23:14in the main exam. All the very best
- 23:16saying this on a positive note. I am
- 23:18going to park this video here. This is
- 23:20Nakul and Ako Nakul signing off from
- 23:22Skillsp soon. We'll be back. Till then,
- 23:23take care. Bye-bye.
