Ayunara Bahar Comment Soal TOEFL vocabulary

Bagi Anda yang sedang mempelajari bahasa Inggris untuk menghadapi ujian bahasa Inggris tingkat lanjut seperti TOEFL, TOEIC,  IELTS dan sebagainya, mengetahui kelas kata adalah hal yang wajib dipelajari. Dengan mengetahui kelas kata dalam kalimat, pemahaman makna dalam bahasa Inggris-pun akan lebih mudah.

Beberapa kata dalam bahasa Inggris bisa dibedakan menjadi tiga jenis yaitu nouns, verbs dan adjective - adverbs. Dari beberapa kata tersebut ternyata satu kata tidak hanya bisa digolongkan dalam satu kelas kata dalam bahasa Inggris. Banyak kata dalam bahasa Inggris yang bisa digolongkan lebih dari satu kelas kata, misalnya, sebagai nouns- verbs, nouns- adjectives, sebagai adjectives- verbs atau bahkan bisa saja bertindak sebagai penggolongan ketiga- tiganya. 

Pada post kali ini, akan saya bahas dalam topik vocabulary English, yaitu daftar kata- kata bahasa Inggris yang berfungsi sebagai nouns dan verbs. 

Contoh :

• The ache in my foot prevented me from running fast. (noun)
• I walked fourteen miles in Argopuro and now my legs ache. (verb)

• A stone is a simple anchor for a small boat. (noun)
• The ship will anchor for the night when it gets dark. (verb)

.

• The new dam will supply water power for us. (noun)
• The government can damp the river and make a lake. (verb)

• There are herds of sheep and cattle in the pastures. (noun)
• A cowboy herds a cattle. (verb)

Dalam beberapa contoh diatas, meskipun kata yang digunakan sama, akan tetapi kelas kata tersebut berbeda. Hal itu dapat dilihat pada posisi kata tersebut dalam kalimat.

Selain kata- kata dalam contoh tadi, ada bermacam- macam kata yang juga memiliki funsgi sebagai kata benda, juga sebagai kata kerja. Berikut daftar kata- kata tersebut,

The Reverand Williams, an eloquent speaker, played and important role in the community since so many people live centered around the Church. He allowed his church and home to be used as a meeting place for number of organization dedicated to the education and social advancement of blacks. M.L grew up in these atmosphere, with his home being used as a coomunication gathering place and was no doubt influence by it. M.L.'s childhood was not especially eventful. His father was a minister and his mother was a musician. He was the second off three children, and he attended all black school in a black neighborhood. The neighborhood was not poor, however, Auburn Avenue was the main artery through prosperous neighborhood that had come to symbolize achievement for atlanta's black people. It was area of banks, insurance companies, builder, jewelers, tailors, lawyers, and other black-owned or black operated business and services.

According to data obtained from radioactive dating, the oldest rocks found on earth re approximately 500 million to 4 billion years old. Sumilar ages have been determined for meteorites and the rocks gathered from the moon's surface. different methods of arriving at the earth's age generate very similar results. Modern theories about the formation, development, and eventual burning out of stars suggest that the sun is about 5 billion years old. experts contend that the earth and the sun were formed at almost the same time from a cloud of dust and gas resulting ffrom a cosmic explosion. The present rate of expansion of the galaxies can be extrapolated to suggest that, if the universe began with " a ig bang" about 15 billion years ago, an age of 5 billion years for both the earth and the sun can be considered plausible.
Long before radioactive dating was implemented, mythology and oral narratives alluded to a conjecture that the earth was nearly 6,000 years old.

Today, radioactive dating of particles and whole ojects has rejected this figure of the earth's age as unreliable.

TOEFL Preparation ; Latihan Soal Tipe Structure and Written Expression TOEFL

Ayunara Bahar 2 comments Bahasa Inggris Grammar TOEFL Latihan soal TOEFL Materi TOEFL Persiapan TOEFL Soal TOEFL Structure and Written Expression TOEFL Preparation

Soal structure and written expression dalam ujian TOEFL diujikan dalam sesi kedua setelah uji listening. Alokasi waktu untuk menjawab soal tersebut hanya 25 menit. Lumayan singkat bila merujuk pada jumlah dan level kesulitan soal. Bentuk soal tipe tersebut ditujukan untuk menguji kemampuan dalam mengenali formal written English. Soal structure and written expression merupakan dua tipe soal yang berbeda, berikut penjelasan singkatnya,

Tipe Structure

Tipe soal ini dibuat untuk mengukur kemampuan kita mengenali bahasa yang tepat dalam standar bahasa Inggris tertulis ( standard written English). Pertanyaan dalam soal structure merupakan soal incomplete sentence (kalimat rumpang), dengan pilihan jawaban (A), (B), (C), dan (D) yang berupa kata atau frase. Pilihlah salah satu kata atau frase yang tepat untuk melengkapi kalimat tersebut.   Beberapa tips yang bisa dicoba dalam menjawab pertanyaan structure adalah sebagai berikut :

• Baca kalimat secara keseluruhan, kemudian coba masukkan jawaban (A) dalam rumpang kalimat tersebut.
• Bila tidak benar, analisislah mengapa kalimat tersebut tidak benar.
• Bila pilihan jawaban (A) bukanlah jawaban yang benar, maka cobalah pada pilihan jawaban (B), (C) dan (D).
• Cobalah untuk mengingat pola atau rumus yang benar kalimat yang digunakan.

Inilah contoh pertanyaan pola structure yang saya kutip dari Buku Cliffs TOEFL Preparation Guide.  

I wish you would tell me ____

    (A) who is being lived next door

    (B) who does live in the next door

    (C) who lives next door

    (D) who next door was living

Pembahasan : Pilihan jawaban (A) bisa langsung kita hilangkan karena penggunaan who tidak tepat dengan verbal structure-nya "is being lived". Untuk "A life" mungkin saja bisa diterapkan, namun untuk "a person" tidak cocok untuk diterapkan. "Live" biasanya tidak bertindak sebagai complement, oleh karena itu tidak bisa dijadikan kalimat pasif. Pada pilihan (B),  bukanlah jawaban yang benar, karena "does" dan "in the" tidak diperlukan dalam kalimat tersebut. Pilihan jawaban (C), merupakan pilihan yang benar, karena memenuhi syarat  "subject + verb + (complement) + (modifier), dan untuk pilihan jawaban (D), bukanlah pilihan yang benar karena tidak sesuai dengan aturan tersebut diatas (subject + verb + (complement) + (modifier)).

Tipe Written Expression

Dalam tipe written expression, setiap kalimat memiliki empat kata atau frase yang digaris bawahi. Kata atau frase yang digarisbawahi di tandai dengan (A), (B), (C), an (D). Salah satu dari kata atau frase tersebut "salah", dalam artian harus diubah menjadi pola yang benar agar supaya kalimat tersebut menjadi tepat. 

Sebagai contoh, berikut ini adalah soal tipe written expression.

In the(A) United States, there (B) are much (C) holidays throughout the (D) year.

Pembahasan : Penggunaan "much" tidak tepat diterapkan karena kata "holidays" merupakan kata benda yang bisa dihitung (count noun), oleh karena itu kata "much" tidak tepat dan seharusnya diubah menjadi kata "many" untuk lebih tepatnya.

Nah, untuk melatih kemampuan anda dalam menghadapi ujian TOEFL khususnya dalam soal tipe structure and written expression, berikut saya kumpulkan soal tipe tersebut dengan jumlah soal sebanyak 40 butir soal yang terdiri dari 15 soal tipe structure dan 25 soal tipe written expression dengan materi soal yang dipilih sesuai dengan tingkat kesulitan level uji TOEFL.
