Poetic scanning helps with this a lot. Shakespeare knew all along how to use that iamb.

Before you start
It's important to develop strategies to deal with reading exercises.

The two strategies you are going to work on are:
(1) Checking your general understanding of the interview
(2) Understanding of the the main idea of each paragraph.

Take a look at the suggestions below before you start:

- You may find it better to read all the alternatives before reading the paragraphs. If you consider this process, It will help you go straight to the points you need to find in each paragraph;

- When reading, don't focus on specific words of each paragraph - this kind of exercise tends to use different words from the text in the options;

- Try not to take too much time in each paragraph. If it's taking too long to find the option that is connected to the paragraph, go to the next one and, then, go back to the ones you considered more difficult;

- This kind of exercise is based on the Ci Advanced examination. Completing this exercise is good practice if you are considering sitting for the exam.

Although the information is good and delivered in an engaging way, the echo in the audio is a bit distracting and affects the professionalism of the video.
