Skill 1: Focus on the second line
Dalam listening part A kamu akan mendengar sebuah percakapan pendek antar dua orang; percakapan ini diikuti satu pertanyaan. Perlu diketahui bahwa jawaban jenis pertanyaan ini paling sering (tapi tidak selamanya!) ditemukan di baris ke dua dari percakapan.
Example:
On th recording, you hear:
Di rekaman, kamu mendengar:
(man) Billy really made a big mistake this time.
(woman) Yes, he forgot to turn in his research paper.
(narrator) What does the woman say about Billy?
In your test book, you read:
Di buku tes kamu, kamu membaca:
(A) It was the first time he made a mistake.
(B) He forgot to write his paper.
(C) He turned in the paper in the wrong place.
(D) He didn’t remember to submit his assignment.
Pilihan jawaban (D) memilki makna yang sama dengan baris ke dua dari percakapan di atas. Maka jawaban yang paling tepat adalah (D).
Strategi yang perlu diketahui dalam Listening Part A (Skill 1):
1. Baris ke dua dari percakapan kemungkinan berisi jawaban dari soal.2. Menyimak dan memahami baris pertama pada percakapan merupakan hal yang baik, tapi jika tidak dapat memahami, jangan khawatir karena baris pertama kemungkinan tidak mengandung jawaban dari soal.3. Bersiaplah untuk fokus pada baris ke dua dari percakapan karena kemungkinan di situlah jawaban dari soal. Teruslah mengingat isi dari makna baris ke dua sambil mencocokkan pilihan jawaban yang tersedia.
Exercise: Exercise di bawah ini, kamu harus fokus pada baris ke dua, baca pertanyaannya, dan pilih jawaban terbaik. Ingatlah bahwa kemungkinan soal dapat dijawab dengan mudah hanya dengan baris ke dua.
