Q & A
What are the three basic strategies discussed in the video for tackling listening comprehension questions?
-The three strategies are: 1) Focus on the second line, 2) Just answer with synonyms, and 3) Look for similar sounds.
Why is it important to focus on the second speaker in TOEFL listening sections?
-The second speaker often provides the answer to the question, as they usually express their opinion or give a response that is directly related to the query.
How does understanding the first line of the dialogue help in answering questions?
-Understanding the first line is beneficial, but it is not crucial as the answer typically lies in the second speaker's response. If there is difficulty in concentrating or understanding the first line, one should focus on the second speaker's words.
What does the acronym 'TOEFL' stand for?
-TOEFL stands for Test of English as a Foreign Language, which is a standardized test to measure the English language ability of non-native speakers.
What is the significance of the keyword 'started' in the context of the second strategy?
-The keyword 'started' is significant because it is a verb that indicates the beginning of an action, and its synonyms can help in finding the correct answer to the question.
How does the strategy of 'Just answer with synonyms' help in answering listening comprehension questions?
-This strategy involves focusing on the keywords from the second speaker's line, finding their synonyms in the answer choices, and selecting the one that best matches the meaning of the original keyword.
What is the purpose of the third strategy, 'Look for similar sounds', in answering questions?
-This strategy is useful when concentration is low and one has to guess the answer. It involves avoiding answer choices that sound similar to the keywords in the dialogue and selecting the one that has a different sound pattern.
Why is it advised to avoid answer choices that sound similar to the keywords spoken by the second speaker?
-Answer choices that sound similar to the keywords can be misleading and are often incorrect. The correct answer will typically have a different sound pattern or use synonyms that accurately reflect the second speaker's statement.
How can the strategies discussed in the video be applied to practice questions in a PDF module?
-After learning the strategies, one can apply them to the practice questions by focusing on the second speaker's line, identifying keywords, looking for their synonyms in the answer choices, and avoiding choices with similar sounds.
What is the importance of reviewing the answer key and explanations after practicing the strategies?
-Reviewing the answer key and explanations is crucial for understanding the correct application of the strategies, learning from mistakes, and improving listening comprehension skills over time.

π Learning Basic Listening Strategies
The first paragraph introduces the topic of the video, which is about learning basic strategies for answering listening comprehension questions effectively. The instructor, Cendika, outlines three strategies: focusing on the second speaker's lines, using synonyms to answer questions, and identifying similar sounds in the answers. The paragraph provides an example from a TOEFL listening test, emphasizing the importance of paying attention to the second speaker's responses as they often contain the answer. It also suggests that if the first speaker's lines are not understood, the focus should be on the second speaker. The strategy of using synonyms is introduced with an example where the keyword 'started' is identified, and its synonym 'began' is used to find the correct answer in the provided options.
π Applying Listening Strategies with Examples
The second paragraph continues the discussion on listening strategies with a focus on applying the second strategy, which involves identifying keywords in the second speaker's lines and finding their synonyms in the answer choices. The paragraph provides a step-by-step approach to finding the correct answer by focusing on the second speaker's statements and looking for keywords that can be matched with synonyms in the answer options.

Halo Halo selamat datang di modulus nih
unit2 bersama saya cendika dalam video
kali ini kita akan mempelajari basic
strategis atau strategi dasar dalam
mengerjakan soal listening
ada tiga strategi yang akan kita
pelajari yang pertama adalah focuses on
the second Line atau berfokus pada baris
kedua yang kedua adalah strategi Just
answer with sinonim dan yang ketiga kita
akan belajar tentang about similar style
Setelah kalian mempelajari tiga strategi
tersebut kalian bisa mencoba
mengaplikasikan strategi strategi itu
untuk mengerjakan soal latihan yang ada
di file PDF modul unit2 mari kita mulai
dengan stategi yang pertama yaitu
focuses on the second Line
dalam TOEFL patey belok selalu dilakukan
antara dua orang dan MNC bagian yang
paling penting adalah bagian yang
diucapkan oleh pembicara kedua atau
second speaker karena biasanya jawaban
ada dalam kalimat yang diucapkan oleh
second speaker
Yuk kita lihat soalnya di sini Man
berkata
birley
desain dan pembicara kedua yaitu bbm-an
berkata Yes I forgot to turn his
research paper
pertanyaannya What does the woman stay
Out Boy
pertanyaan tersebut bertanya tentang apa
yang The Winds katakan tentang Willy dan
the wind adalah speaker kedua jadi
berdasarkan ungkapan domain maka jawaban
untuk soal ini adalah DC karena forgot
sama artinya dengan didn't remember
jantung main sama artinya dengan submit
reset Viper dianggap sebagai science
jadi ungkapan Yes I forgot to tell me in
his research paper sama dengan hidup not
remember to submit his time
jadi untuk strategi dasar yang pertama
yaitu focuses on the second Line atau
last line kita harus ingat bahwa
kelas lain of the dialog probably
contents di answer to the question yang
artinya jawaban biasanya berkaitan
dengan apa yang diucapkan oleh second
speaker atau pembicara kedua
yang kedua Listen to the First Line of
the dialog if you understand netcj if
you don't worry because it does not
contain
kalau kita bisa mengerti bicara pertama
itu bagus tapi jika anda tidak bisa
mengerti pembicaraan pertama atau
kesulitan untuk berkonsentrasi
jangan khawatir karena biasanya jawaban
ada di second speaker jadi segeralah
berfokus kembali untuk mendengarkan apa
yang diucapkan oleh Steven speaker
Monyet Nah yang ketiga
betul Celine in your mind is your way
through the answers and the text jadi
nih ketika kita membaca pilihan
jawabannya
dalam pikiran kita kita harus mengingat
Apa yang diucapkan oleh second speaker
sehingga kita bisa mencari pilihan
jawaban yang berkesesuaian dengan apa
yang diucapkan oleh second speaker
strategi dasar selanjutnya adalah Just
answer with shyness
Apa yang dimaksud dengan Cut and Search
with shyness yuk langsung saja kita
lihat contohnya
di sini the woman bertanya way is for
profiling tuh HP kemudian the menjawab
just working in real estate agency
pertanyaannya What does the women's
about Barbera lagi-lagi
pertanyaannya berkaitan dengan apa yang
diucapkan oleh demands sebagai speaker
kedua jadi kita fokus kepada ungkapan
yang diucapkan oleh teman si just
started working in real estate agency
kemudian kita cari kata kunci dalam
kalimat tersebut
biasanya kata kuncinya berupa verb atau
kata kerja jadi disini popnya adalah
started
lalu kita cari pilihan jawabannya
started adalah sinonim dari vegan
artinya mulai kalau started working
artinya dia mulai bekerja di sebuah
pekerjaan baru atau bisa disebut juga
dengan
New job jadi jawaban yang tepat adalah
pkan a new job karena artinya sama
dengan feces started working in sampai
something
Jadi gimana nih cara kita menerapkan
strategi yang kedua jusen search with
the name Yang Pertama full stainless
line of the dialog focuses on the
keyword ended Line jadi nih ketika kita
fokus ke pembicara kedua Kita juga harus
fokus mencari keyword atau kata kunci
dari perkataan yang diucapkan oleh
pembicara kedua
setelah itu jika kita sudah menemukan
kata kuncinya segera kita lihat pilihan
jawabannya ketika dalam pilihan
jawabannya kita sudah menemukan sinonim
dari keyword tersebut maka Mungkin kita
sudah menemukan jawaban yang benar
basic sedih yang ketiga atau yang
terakhir akan kita pelajari cat ini
adalah A Boy similar sound strategi ini
berguna sekali terutama jika kita Kurang
konsentrasi dan harus menebak jawabannya
apa sih yang dimaksud dengan voltmeter
songs langsung saja kita lihat dari
contoh soalnya Ya on the recording you
here we're on March From where and when
she Hears searching for new Apartment
pertanyaannya What does the woman saya
book mark lagi-lagi kita harus fokus ke
lem kedua yaitu kata-kata yang diucapkan
oleh dokumen karena dia menceritakan
tentang Mark
heels searching for new Apartment
keyword dalam statement ini adalah
searching dan Apartment Mengapa karena
itu menjelaskan apa yang mereka lakukan
oh dia searching mencari
Hai apa dia mencari Apartment
dalam pilihan jawaban yang
c&d
kata research and Iceu
terdengar hampir sama jadi jawaban ini
tidak benar
dalam pilihan jawaban A dan D kata di
portman an appointment itu juga
terdengar hampir sama dengan Apartment
ada suku kata yang pelafalannya sama
jadi jawaban ini juga bukan jawabannya
lantas Mana jawabannya jawaban yang
tepat adalah yang B qwest looking for a
place to leave Kenapa karena searching
sinonimnya atau persamaannya adalah
looking for yang dalam bahasa di
Indonesia artinya mencari kemudian
Apartment juga bisa di
ungkapkan sebagai applies to leave
tempat tinggal
intinya jika kalian kehilangan fockers
lalu harus
memilih jawaban menebak jawaban coba
hindari
jawaban-jawaban yang tadi sayup-sayup
terdengar hampir sama dengan apa yang
diucapkan oleh speaker
untuk mengaplikasikan strategi yang
telah kita pelajari silakan mengerjakan
soal latihan yang ada di file PDF jangan
lupa cek kunci jawaban dan pelajari
