Skill 3: Avoid Similar Sounds (Hindari Bunyi Kata yang Mirip)
Often the incorrect answers in Listening Part A are answers that contain words with similar sounds but very different meanings from what you hear in the recording program. You should definitely avoid these answers.
Seringkali jawaban yang salah dalam Listening Part A merupakan kata-kata yang bunyi pengucapannya mirip tapi tentu saja maknanya berbeda dengan key words dari percakapan (baris ke dua) . Anda harus betul-betul menghindari jawaban seperti ini.
The key words in the second line of the conversation are searching and apartment. In answers (C) and (D) the words research and church sound like search, so these answers are incorrect. In answers (A) and (D), the words department and appointment sound like apartment, so these asnwers are incorrect. The best answer is (B).
Kata kunci pada baris ke dua adalah searching dan apartment. Pada jawaban (C) dan (D), kata research dan church mempunyai bunyi pengucapan 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 juga salah. Olehnya, jawaban paling tepat yaitu (B).
