Bagian apakah yang paling susah saat kamu mengerjakan TOEFL? Kebanyakan orang pasti akan menjawab bagian “structure and written expression”. Bener juga sih, sebagian besar orang bisa ngomong Bahasa Inggris cap-cip-cus tapi agak kagok kalau harus menulis. Apalagi jika dituntut menggunakan structure dan grammar yang benar. Yep, bagian ini memang membutuhkan kejelian dan pengetahuan extra. Bukan semata-mata kita menebak mana yang paling enak untuk dibaca, grammar membutuhkan analisa dari rumus tenses yang sudah dibakukan.
Ada beberapa strategi untuk mempermudahmu dalam
menjawabnya secara tepat pada bagian structure and written expressiom. Strategi
ini meliputi sebagai berikut.
Lihatlah subjek dan kata kerja pada kalimat utama.
Jika tidak ada subjek atau frasa kata kerja yang lengkap, Kamu harus
menemukannya pada pilihan jawaban. Untuk membantu melihat subjek dan kata kerja
utama, sederhanakan kalimat dengan menghilangkan frasa preposisi (preposisi
ditambah artikel (a, an, and, the), kata sifat, atau kata benda.
Tentukan struktur seperti apa yang diperlukan
kalimat.
Baca kalimat untuk melihat apakah kalimat tersebut
masuk akal dan terlihat benar.

menyempurnakan kalimat, mulai dari noun phrase, word order, conjuction, parallel
coonstruction, clause, comparison, gerund, superlative, conditional, hingga
pronoun. Misalnya, berikut ini contoh penyelesaian dalam bentuk noun phrase

and private agencies.

Kata kerja utama dari contoh soal di atas adalah
“are”. Kalimat ini memerlukan frasa kata benda untuk melengkapi subjek. Amati
frasa preposisi “by public and private agencies”. Jawaban tepatnya melalui
kerangka logika (masuk akal) bisa Kamu temukan melalui penentuan sebagai
berikut.
