ok i am back again 🙂
Multiple-choice, choose multiple answers (Listening)
2-3 answers dito. like my suggestion before, listen and read at the same time. only choose 3 answers if sure kayo. if not, stick to 2 answers. most of the time, the recording will mention two sentences that can be found sa choices. para you wont miss it, listen and read quickly at the same time. walang back dito, kaya listen and read. please practice to listen and read quickly ng sabay.
Multiple-choice, choose multiple answers (Reading)
2-3 answers din to. same lang, if you are not sure, stick to two answers. read the question and answers first. then read the paragraph, while reading the paragraph, balik balikan niyo yung answers. check if may similar or almost the same sentences from the paragraph and answers. most likely yun na ang sagot,
Re-tell lecture
you will listen to a speaker, the recording will run around 1-2 minutes. then you have 40secs to summarize everything. may 10secs ka ata in between before you can speak. again, machine ang kalaban natin dito. hahanap lang ng keywords yan. pronounce slowly and properly. better maubos yung 40 secs, kaysa 3 seconds of silence. do not stop talking. here is my advice, this is the only time i used that writing pad. i used 1 pad per lecture. ang hahanpin ng machine dito is yung key words from the lecture. sulat niyo yung tingin niyo keywords. if a name of a person was mentioned, sulat niyo yan. year, sulat niyo yan. name ng book, age nung tao and others. sulat niyo lahat yun. then once you do your summary, singit niyo sa sentence niyo yung keywords na sinulat niyo. 40 secs to, roughly 10-15 keywords, ok ka na. make sure yung keywords niyo, sinabi talaga sa recording ha. eto lang yung words na hahanapin ng machine. dont write the entire sentence, di kayo aabot. key words lang. if for example, mali magawa niyo na sentence, the machine would not know this. as long as the keywords are there, lusot tayo diyan. for example in the lecture, the speaker would say, he is 50 years old. sulat niyo 50 years old. then once you do your recording, if masabi niyo 50 years ago, lusot pa din yan. di na alam ng machine yan, 50 lang mababasa niyan.
Multiple-choice, choose single answer (Listening)
same lang sa maultiple answers. listen and read quickly. sanayin niyo na mag basa at makinig ng sabay
Re-order paragraphs
there will be a paragraph na naka disarrange. you have to arrange it properly. do not over think this, the paragraphs are simple. hanapin niyo yung order na easiest to understand. yun ang tamang sagot. once you re ordered the paragraph, read it, if it makes sense, ok na yan. no need to change it. if it does not, re order niyo ulit. be careful sa time ha, medyo malakas kumain ng oras to.
Repeat sentence
there will be a recording of one sentence. you have to repeat what the recording said. one advice i found here a thread na to, write down the first letter of every word that you hear. for example you hear, i play basketball.. sulat niyo I P B. then you might remember the correct sentence. i personally did not do this. i relied sa memory ko. i listened sa sentence, please focus listening sa sentence. then i just repeated it based on what I remembered. again pronounce each and every word slowly and clearly ha. again machine ang kalaban natin, hindi tao. speak like a robot.
Select missing word
there will be a recording, the last few words, you will hear a beep. you need to choose what the last few words should be. test of your vocabulary to. honestly, i think medyo hulaan lang to. just choose the answer na tingin niyo makes the most sense. i suggest keep an eye sa meter bar nung recording. if malapit na matapos, focus on the last few seconds. make sure you hear properly ano sasabihin. from there, you can guess what the last few words should be.
Summarize spoken text
keywords ulit tayo. you will listen to a recording then summarize it. you need to type your summary, what i did hear is, i type faster than i write kasi. while listening sa recording, i typed the key words and some sentences na din. if you can type fast, i believe you can type parts of the sentences that you think are important. then after the recording, I will type my summary based on the words and sentences that I typed. after this, i will erase the keywords and sentences that I typed. then check if I meet the right amount of words. again, the machine will read keywords only. try to type as many keywords from the recording as possible. max niyo, if max is 70 words, 70 words gawin niyo. higher chance to hit all the keywords.
Write from dictation
you will hear a sentence and you have to type it. please try to perfect this. or at least get as many points as you can. machine will check for your spelling. make sure capital letter yung first word ng sentence. dont forget the period at the end of the sentence. check for the spelling of your words. make sure hindi kulang ng s yung mga plural words and ed yung mga past tense.
