okay now i'm going to show you how the
theories we discussed in the previous
video can be applied in the actual
scenario so i'm going to play one
question from the
uh questions in the portal and we'll see
how i'll use the method that i discussed
with you to answer these questions so
let's look at one sample answer here
this is question number 50 from the
portal so i'm going to question number
50 here
and um
i could have selected any question by
the way this is just a random question
to show you how it can be applied to
answer any questions you encounter so
let's wait for the recording to start
once the recording starts please keep an
eye on what i do on the screen
well who makes these decisions
in the international arena the decisions
are made by states
but to borrow george orwell's phrase
some states are more equal than others
the ones who are most equal
are the ones called g7 the seven rich
industrial countries
they have an overwhelming effect on
state decisions
and of g7 the one that's far and away
the most equal is of course the united
states
which since the second world war
has had a position of overwhelming
international power no historical
precedent to that and of course has used
it to design a world in the interests of
powerful sectors within
alongside
the powerful states there are the
institutions that they've designed
the international financial institutions
the imf and the world bank the world
trade organization
took over from gat a couple years ago
those are
institutions of global
dominance global control
which are themselves controlled by the
rich countries and primarily by the
united states which once again has an
overwhelming influence
this whole process will take anywhere
from 60 to 90 seconds depending on the
length of the recording maximum the
recording will be 90 seconds long and
if you have a 90 seconds long recording
that means now you have only 8 minutes
and 30 seconds left to answer the
question so now you need to use your
time wisely and effectively so let's see
how we can use our time to answer these
questions
so as you can see on the screen right
now there are a couple of phrases i have
noted down and you can see that these
are not mere words these are the phrases
i took from the recording and you could
also perhaps notice that i could not
write all of them or i did not try to
write all of them because i knew that i
because of my speed of typing and
because i'm trying to listen and write
at the same time it may not be possible
to write down each and everything i hear
so i was focusing on those information
which were different than the others or
the ones which i could clearly
understand or i could spell and that's
what you need to remember remember you
are trying to get the information which
you think are more important than the
others which you can clearly understand
in which you know how to spell once you
have collected this information your
writing process starts using the
template that we discussed in the
previous video so let's see how we do
that
okay as you can see our template somehow
as you can see our template somewhat
looks like this now the only thing i
need to do is i need to grab these words
from the text box and put them in the
gaps
and let's grab a few of them i'm just
grabbing these three from here i'll
cut them from there and then i'll put
them after explaining and it will be
like this don't worry about anything
right now don't worry about grammar or
meaning or anything
just grab them as i'm doing here
and then put them in the
gaps in the templates
just like this
and then do the same thing for the last
one as well so basically you try to get
around nine key phrases if it's not
exactly nine that's all right you don't
need to worry about that um but just try
as much as possible to get at least
three phrases for
one gap that may not be possible all the
time and that's perfectly fine
as long as you have been able to capture
adequate information
now once you have done that just
um take care of the formatting and the
spacing between the
words and now start reading what you
have done here the lecture offers
insight into the speaker begins by
explaining decisions in the national
area
arena some states are more equal than
others seven rich countries he further
mentions the united states overwhelming
international power international
financial institutions finally talks
about institutions of global control
controlled by the united states
so
looking at this decide what is the topic
of discussion here now some people might
say the influence of the united states
some people might say uh g7 countries
some people might say global control by
the powerful countries whatever you
think is the topic you can write it in
the first gap now or if you are not
exactly sure which is the topic and that
can simply choose that worded expression
which you think has repeated more often
than the others in my case i'm going to
write into the sorry um
into
the
influence
of the
united
states
now let's take care of these things
okay
this speaker begins by explaining
decisions in the international area um
this is just a typing error here
then first key phrase you'll have a
comma here after this
some states are more equal than others
just make it some states being more
equal than others
comma and then after that and
seven rich countries
he further
mentions the united states
comma
overwhelming international power
comma
and international financial institutions
and while writing this overwhelming
international power i feel like what if
i just write it's overwhelming
international power because then that
way it will be the overwhelming
international power of the united states
and
sorry and the international financial
institutions finally he talks about
institutions of global control
controlled by the united states even if
i don't write and
it is already making sense so i'm not
making any changes here
so everything looks fine
um so everything looks fine and this is
how you write your answer now let's read
one more time because you can see we
have we still have time here the lecture
offers insight into the influence of the
united states this week it begins by
explaining decisions in the
international internet some states being
more equal than others and seven rich
countries he further mentions the united
states it's over overwhelming
international
power and international financial
institutions finally he talks about
institutions of global control
controlled by the united states
so while doing this always make sure
that you are not noting down the names
numbers
technical details
explanations
or lists
like this now you might be wondering
then why did i write united states there
because this whole
recording is about united states in such
cases of course you have to write those
names otherwise if they simply mention
name of somebody name whole place which
is not central to the meaning of the
recording then in that case you don't
have to include them so this is how you
do summarize the spoken text so let me
quickly summarize uh the four things we
did over these four videos first we um
we had an introduction to summarize
spoken text we found
what kind of question
how this question is asked in the exam
and what we are supposed to do in the
second video we discussed the scoring
criteria we saw how the scoring is done
in the third video we have
seen the template and how the template
is supposed to be filled and in this one
we have also seen how this is actually
done in the exam so i hope this was um
useful for you and you understood
everything i said but if in any case you
could not understand which might happen
and it happens
to many people you can simply get in
touch with us by using that button at
the corner depending on your
subscription level will answer your
questions and if you are in if you are a
face to face student you know that you
always have
more priority for the one to one and
face-to-face sessions you can drop in at
any time in the center and sit down with
us and discuss these things so until my
next video keep practicing
