Skill 3: Hindari Bunyi Kata yang Mirip
Seringkali jawabanan yang salah dalam Listening Part A ialah kata-kata yang suara pengucapannya menyerupai tapi tentu saja maknanya tidak sama. Anda harus betul-betul menghindari jawabanan menyerupai ini.

Example/contoh:

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 yaitu searching dan apartment. Pada jawabanan (C) dan (D), kata research dan church berbunyi menyerupai dengan kata search, jadi ke dua jawabanan ini salah. Pada jawabanan (A) dan (D), kata department dan appointment berbunyi menyerupai dengan kata apartment, jadi jawabanan ini salah. Olehnya, jawabanan paling sempurna 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 jawabanan yang cara pengucapannya menyerupai dan tidakboleh pilih jawabanan-jawabanan tersebut.

Exercise: di tes soal ini, temukan dan garis bawahi kata kunci pada dari baris ke dua percakapan Kemudian garis bawahi kata-kata yang suara pengucapannya menyerupai dan pilihlah jawabanan paling tepat. Ingat bahwa kemungkinan besar jawabana yang benar yaitu jawabanan yang tidak meliputi kata yang suara pengucapannya menyerupai dengan baris ke dua percakapan.
