Think but DON’T ‘over-think’ the answer.

I've noticed that many students get the wrong answer because they think too much! They worry about small differences in meaning. For example, look at the following part of a reading passage:

The two week planned study into the psychological impact of prison life...
Now decide whether the following statement is true, false or not given:
The study aimed to investigate the mental and behavioural effects of life in prison.
The statement is true, but many students put not given because they "over-think" the
meaning of 'psychological'.

They think that the definition of psychological must be more complex than 'mental and behavioural'.
Don't think too hard about small differences in meanings. 'Mental and behavioural' might not be a perfect definition of 'psychological', but the overall meaning is the same (a simple definition of psychology is the study of the mind and behaviour).

Tip: Keeping this in mind, continue working on the following exercises.



Fikrlang, lekin javobni "ortiqcha o'ylamang".

Ko'p o'quvchilar noto'g'ri javob olishlarini bildim,chunki ular juda ko'p o'ylashadi! Ular ma'no jihatidan kichik farqlardan xavotirda. Masalan, o'qish parchasining quyidagi qismiga qarang:

Qamoqxona hayotining psixologik ta'sirini o'rganish bo'yicha ikki haftalik rejalashtirilgan tadqiqot ...
Endi quyidagi bayonotning to'g'riligini, yolg'onligini yoki berilmaganligini aniqlang:
Ushbu tadqiqot qamoqdagi hayotning ruhiy va xulq-atvor ta'sirini o'rganishga qaratilgan.
Bu so'zlar haqiqat, lekin ko'p talabalar buni "haddan psixologik tashqari o'ylashlari" sababli mano bermaydilar.

Ularning fikriga ko'ra, psixologik ta'rif "ruhiy va xulq-atvorli" dan ko'ra murakkabroq bo'lishi kerak.
Ma'noning kichik farqlari haqida qattiq o'ylamang. "Aqliy va xulq-atvor" "psixologik" ning mukammal ta'rifi bo'lmasligi mumkin, ammo umumiy ma'no bir xil (psixologiyaning oddiy ta'rifi - bu ong va xulq-atvorni o'rganishdir).

Maslahat: Buni yodda tutib, quyidagi mashqlarni bajarishda davom eting.
