Draw Conclusion Who
It
is common in listening to ask you to draw some kind of conclusion. In this type
of
question the answer is not clearly stated, you must draw a conclusion based on clues given in the conversation. One kind
of conclusion that is common in this part of the test is to ask you determine who the
speaker is, based on clues given in the conversation.
Example
On
the recording, you hear:
1. (Woman) Can
you tell me what assignment I missed when I was
Absent from your class?
(Man) You
missed one homework assignment and a quiz.
(Narrator) Who
is the man?
- A newspaper editor b. a police officer
c. A teacher d.
a student
The
clues is class, homework, and quiz in the conversation, tell
you that the man
Is
probably a teacher. Answer (C ) is
therefore the correct answer.
1. (man) I'd like to deposit
this check in my account, please.
(Woman) Would you like any cash back?
(Narrator) Who is the woman?
(A) A store clerk.
(B) A Bank Teller.
(C) An Accountant.
(D) A Waitress.
The
clues deposit, account, cash back in the conversation, tell you that the woman
is
probably a bank teller. Answer is B.
Draw Conclusion What
Another types of conclusion that is
common in Listening is to determine what
probably happen next, based on the clues given in the conversation.
Usually the narrator will ask about
what happen the next do of second speaker.
Example
1. ( Woman) are you going to read those books here in the library ?
(Man) I think I’d rather check them out now and take
them home.
(Narrator) what will the man probably do next ?
- Sit down in the library b. look for some more books
c. Return
the books to the shelves d. go
to the circulation desk
The man says that he would check
the books out. Since the circulation desk is
where you go to check books out from
a library, the man will probably go to the
circulation desk next. Therefore
the correct answer is (D).
2. (woman) Have you
deposited your paycheck yet?
(man)
No, but that's next on my list of errands.
(narrator) What
will the man probably do?
(A) Earn his paycheck.
(B) Write a check for a deposit on
an apartment.
(C) Go to a bank.
(D) Make a list of errands to run.
The
woman ask to man, what the man have deposited him paycheck yet ? and
man
answer No, but that’s next on my list of errands, the probably do next is, the
man
go
to bank. The correct answer is C.
Draw Conclusion Where
A final type of conclusion that is
common in Listening is to determine where the
conversation probably take place, based on
clues given in the conversation. In this
section, the clues usually in
conversation of first speaker and second speaker.
Example
(Women) Are you going into the water, or are you
just going to lie there on the sand
?
(Man) I think I need to put on some suntan
lotion.
(Narrator) where does this conversation probably take
place?
A. At
beauty salon

an outdoor restaurant.
The clues water, sand, and suntan
lotion in the conversation tell you that this
conversation probably takes place at
the beach. Answer (b) is therefore the correct
answer.
CONCLUSION
Based
on explanation above we can conclude that the best strategy of draw conclusion
about who, what, and where are we have to know who is probably talking and then
what will probably do next and the last where does the conversation probably
take place.
