Allow me to elaborate on that. All too often, when you're doing a fill-in-the-blank exercise you focus so hard on the gaps that you overlook the stuff around them. Don't get me wrong. Paying attention to the blanks IS your job. That said, once the exercise has been done, you should devote some time to looking at those expressions, words or turns of phrase that you find interesting or simply "usable". That's when you incorporate new input and you really learn. Also, this particular text shows how one can be formal (scrutinize) and informal (eyeball) at the same time. Anyway, watch the video and then consider how many of the words I use you are likely to "steal".
