Listening Part A : Suggestion (Skill 3)

Previous Skill: Negative expression (Skill 2)

Suggestions atau saran biasa di ujikan di Listening Part A. Jadi sebelum melaksanakan Tes TOEFL, kita harus sudah terbiasa dengan kalimat atau expresi yang berhubungan dengan suggestion atau saran.

(English Version)

Ada tiga jenis expression of suggestion yang sering digunakan, yaitu:

• Why don't......?
• Why not.........?
• Let's ..............?

Contoh:

On the recording, you hear:

(man)        : I haven’t talked with my parents in a while.

(woman)   : Why don’t you call them now?   -------> Suggestion

(narrator)  : What does the woman suggest?

In your test book, you read:

(A) Calling off his visit.

(B) Talking about his parents.

(C) Calling his parents in a while.

(D) Phoning his family.

Analisa:

• Dari contoh percakapan diatas, ekpresi kalimat why don’t merupakan suggestion atau saran. 
• Berarti kalimat Why don't you call them berarti si wanita (orang kedua) menyarankan lelaki itu (orang pertama) utuk menelpon orang tua dia.
• Oleh karena itu jawaban terbaik adalah (D).
