suatu kebiasaan membaca akan meningkatkan ketrampilan test reading anda. - baca instruksinya dengan jelas.

- baca pertanyaan sebelum membaca text yang sesungguhnya. - cobalah ingat-ingat apa yang telah anda baca sementara anda kembali mengecek bacaan. - temukan rangkaian kejadian, cari tanda-tanda dari kata-kata seperti pertama, kemudian, terakhir (First, next, then, last) - buat gambaran tentang makna kata, cari kata kunci dalam kalimat. Baca konteks (sebelum dan setelah kalimat) - temukan sebab dan akibat, cari kata-kata tanda, seperti karena, dikarenakan, sebagai akibat, jadi, sejak (because, because of, as matter of fact, so, then). - untuk menemukan ide umum, lihat di judul, kata kunci, dan gambar.

Strategi Pilihan Ganda - Yang terpenting dalam pilihan ganda ialah test menggunakan eliminasi. - Saat anda membaca pertanyaan, cobalah memikirkan jawaban sebelum anda memilih pada pilihan jawaban. - Perhatikan kata-kata negatif, except, not, oppisite. Untuk Mendapatkan Informasi Spesifik Scanning yang melibatkan gerakan mata anda secara cepat untuk mencari kata-kata spesifik dan frase. Scanning juga digunakan ketika anda menemukan suatu sumber untuk menentukan apakah itu jawabannya atau bukan Ketrampilan scanning diperlukan untuk membaca cepat sementara anda mencari informasi spesifik. Untuk menscanning text, anda hendaknya mulai dari atas halaman lalu gerakan mata anda dengan cepat ke bawah. Umumnya tehnik scanning sangat menolong ketika anda sedang mencari jawaban untuk mengetahui pertanyaan yang diketahui. Bacalah dulu pertanyaannya.
Untuk menemukan "main idea". Kadang-kadang, penulis paragraf (sering penulis baru) akan menulis "main idea" secara langsung dalam teks dan biasanya diletakan di beberapa kalimat pertama. Dalam kasus ini, akan sangat mudah menemukan "main idea" yaitu hanya dengan melihat kalimat yang menyimpulkan semua paragraf.

Contoh Main Idea : Juan loves to play games. His favorite game is chess because it requires a great deal of thought. Juan also likes to play less demanding board games that are based mostly on luck. He prefers Monopoly because it requires luck and skill. If hes alone, Juan likes to play action video games as long as they arent too violent. "Main idea" disini ialah "Juan loves to play games." Contoh "Main Idea" yang diimplikasikan: When you're with your friends, it's okay to be loud and use slang. They'll expect it and they aren't grading you on your grammar. When you're standing in a boardroom or sitting for an interview, you should use your best English possible, and keep your voice respectfully quiet. Try to gauge the personality of the interviewer and the setting of the workplace before cracking jokes or speaking out of turn. If you're ever in a position to speak publicly, always ask about your audience, and modify your language, tone, pitch and topic based on what you think the audience's preferences would be. You'd never give a lecture about atoms to third-graders! Disini, tidak ada "main idea" yang ditulis, jadi anda harus bertanya pada diri sendiri "Apa yang penulis berusaha sampaikan pada saya?"

INFORMASI UNAS BAHASA INGGRIS 2006 Seperti tahun-tahun sebelumnya bahwa Ujian Nasional Bahasa Inggris Terdiri dari: Listening, Reading, dan Language Focus/Tata Bahasa. LISTENING: Materi listening diperkirakan masih 20 soal yang gampang-gampang susah. Dikatakan gampang bila mengerti apa yang dibicarakan, tetapi bisa susah untuk menentukan pilihan jawaban yang benar karena di dalam Listening sebenarnya ada 2 unsur; yaitu meaning( makna) dan tata bahasa. Anda harus ada balancing kemampuan antara meaning dan tatabahasa. Anda bisa mengerti apa maksud soal tapi justru dalam soal itu yang diujikan bukan dituntut maksudnya saja tapi unsur tata bahasa atau ungkapan apa yang digunakan. Untuk mengatasi hal tersebut perbanyaklah berlatih listening yang mengarah ke Achievement Academic, dan saya sudah membuat prediksi atau gambaran soal latihannya, memang agak sulit tingkatannya,

dengan maksud; Lebih baik anda susah di waktu latihan daripada mendapat kesusahan di ujian sebenarnya. Kalau anda bisa benar 10 saja diprediksi ini, itu di UNas nanti anda akan salah maksimal 5 soal saja. READING: Mengerjakan Reading tidak sesulit Listening karena materi Reading secara fisik anda bisa melihatnya. Yang penting anda tahu bahwa soal Reading sebenarnya hanya ada 5 jenis pertanyaan, yaitu ; 1. Menanyakan Main Idea, 2. Menanyakan Jenis Reading, 3. Menanyakan untuk menentukan mana yang benar/salah, 4. Menanyakan Refering, dan 5. Vocabulary. Ada cara/strategi khusus mengatasi ke lima jenis pertanyaan ini dan tidak mungkin saya jelaskan satu persatu. Tapi jika anda berminat silahkan kontak saya melalui email. TATA BAHASA: Kedengarannya agak aneh Tata bahasa; Dalam UNas Bahasa Inggris mencakup 2 pengertian; yaitu Ilmu tata bahasa itu sendiri atau Grammar dan Ungkapan. Singkatnya; bahwa grammar/structure yang pasti keluar adalah seputar penggunaan kaidah tata bahasa yang dimasukkan dalam unsur dialogue. Atau dalam dialogue tersebut anda diuji untuk bisa menentukan ungkapan apa yang digunakan. Daftar ungkapan dan grammar yang sering keluar di tiap UNas juga ada di Prediksi ini. VOCABULARY: Soal - soal vocabulary atau kosa kata secara otomatis ada pada setiap Reading, selama ini Reading pada UNas Rata-rata 4 sampai 5 bacaan, berarti ada 5 soal vocabulary yang berhubungan dengan Reading teks. Soal lainnya bisa diluar Teks tersebut. Tetapi semua itu pasti masih dalam koridor di kurikulum anda. Intinya mengerjakan Vocab anda harus bisa membedakan; verb, adjective, adverb, noun, past, dan participle. Jadi Jumlah soal adalah 20 untuk Listening, 5 untuk vocab yang berhubungan dengan reading teks, 4 soal x 5 jenis teks = 20 soal, 10 soal untuk Language Focus/Tata Bahasa dan 5 soal vocab lepas. Total 60 Soal. Saya yakin anda pasti sukses untuk UNas B.Inggris karena sudah tahu gambarannya, anda tinggal bertanya pada diri sendiri di bagian mana anda lemah? silahkan ditutupi dari sekarang kelemahan anda tersebut. Jika masih meragukan kemampuan anda silahkan kontak saya di: email: invircom@telkom.net, siswanto@invir.com Hp : 0816 432 0757 ============================================================ In early societies money was unknown and man relied on a simple system of exchange. Perhaps a good hunter had more animal skins than he could use. His neighbor, a good fisherman might have too many fish, but needed furs to protect his children from the cold.

For example, a weaver who wanted to change his cloth for a good catch of fish might not be able to find a fisherman who needed cloth.
