Skill
3: Hindari Bunyi Kata yang Mirip
Seringkali jawaban yang salah dalam Listening Part A
merupakan kata-kata yang bunyi pengucapannya mirip tapi tentu saja maknanya
berbeda. Anda harus betul-betul menghindari jawaban seperti ini.
On the recording, you hear:
Man Why couldn’t Mark
come with us?
(Woman) He was searching for
a new apartment.
(narrator) What does the woman say
about Mark?
In your test book, you read:
(A)
He was in
the department office.
(B)
He was
looking for a place to live
(C)
He was
working on his research paper.
(D)
He had an appointment
at church.
Kata kunci pada baris ke dua adalah searching dan apartment. Pada jawaban (C) dan (D), kata research dan church
berbunyi mirip dengan kata search,
jadi ke dua jawaban ini salah. Pada jawaban (A) dan (D), kata department dan appointment berbunyi mirip dengan kata apartment, jadi jawaban ini
salah. Olehnya, jawaban paling tepat yaitu (B).
Strategi menghadapi Listening Part A (skill 3):
1. Identifikasi
kata-kata kunci pada baris ke dua percakapan.
2. Identifikasi
kata-kata kunci di jawaban yang cara pengucapannya mirip dan jangan pilih
jawaban-jawaban tersebut.
