Skill 4: Tariklah sebuah kesimpulan terkait Who, What, dengan Where

1.       Tariklah sebuah kesimpulan terkait Who (siapa)

Hal yg umum dalam tes TOEFL Listening Part A meminta Anda untuk menarik beberapa bentuk kesimpulan. Tipe pertanyaan ini, jawaban tidak dinyatakan dengan jelas. Olehnya Anda harus menarik sebuah kesimpulan berdasarkan petunjuk yg diberikan di percakapan. Salah satu tipe yg umum dalam ditanyakan yaitu terkait “siapa yg berbicara (who the speaker is), berdasarkan petunjuk yg diberikan di percakapan.

Example:

On the recording, you hear:

   (woman)     Can you tell me what assignment I missed when I was absent from your class?

   (man)          You missed one homework assignment and a quiz.

   (narrator)    Who is the man?

In your test book, you read:

(A)    A newspaper editor.

(B)   A police officer.

(C)   A teacher.

(D)   A student.

Kata kunci seperti class, homework, dengan quiz dalam percakapan memberitahu bahwa beringsang pemuda laki itu kemungkinannya adalah seorang guru. Olehnya jawaban yg benar yaitu (C).

2.       Tariklah sebuah kesimpulan terkait What (apa)

Jenis lain yg umum dalam tes TOEFL Listening Part A meminta Anda untuk menentukan apa yg bakal terjadi selanjutnya, berdasarkan petunjuk ataupun kata-kata kunci dalam percakapan.

 Example:

On the recording, you hear:

   (woman)     Are you going to read those books here in the library?

   (man)          I think I’d rather check them out now and take them home.

   (narrator)    What will the man probably do next?

In your test book, you read:

(A)    Sit down in the library.

(B)   Look for some more books.

(C)   Return the books to the shelves.

(D)   Go to the circulation desk.

Laki-laki itu berkata bahwa dia ingin meminjam buku-buku itu sekarang (check the books out now).  Karena circulation desk merupakan tempat untuk meminjam buku dari perpustakaan, laki-laki tersebut kemungkinan selanjutnya bakal pergi ke circulation desk. Olehnnya jawaban yg benar yaitu (D).

3.       Tariklah sebuah kesimpulan terkait Where (di mana)

Jenis lain yg umum dalam tes TOEFL Listening Part A meminta Anda untuk menentukan di mana percakapan sedang berlangsung, berdasarkan petunjuk ataupun kata-kata kunci dalam percakapan.

 Example:

On the recording, you hear:

  (woman)       Are you going into the water, or are you just going to lie there on the sand?

  (man)            I think I need to put on some suntan lotion.

  (narrator)      Where does the conversation probably take place?

In your test book, you read:

(A)    At the beauty salon.

(B)   At the beach.

(C)   In a sandbox.

(D)   At an outdoor restaurant.

Kata-kunci ataupun petunjuknya terletak dengan kata water, sand, dengan suntan lotion. Dari kata-kata tersebut bisa kita tarik kesimpuan bahwa tempat percakapan ini berlangsung di pantai (at the beach). Olehnya jawaban yg benar yaitu (B).
