Script Suara Ceramah pada Part C
The reason we're meeting today is to introduce the plan for our new office layout. Starting next
month, instead of cubicles, we will have an open office. There will be no cubicle walls or
partitions. Instead, desks will be arranged in clusters for each department. The desks in each
department will be facing each other in clusters of four or six. We feel this will facilitate better
communication between workers in each departments. It will also create a more welcoming
environment for clients.
The department managers will still have their own offices, but each will have large windows and
glass doors, to make employees and clients feel welcome to come inside. We're also going to
paint the walls and put in new carpeting. The project will start on the first of next month and
should take about three weeks to complete. We will be moving to the third floor during that
period.

INGAT
Cara menjawab soal TOEFL Structure nomor ke-1 adalah "Pastikan Kesesuaian Kalimat yang
Memiliki Subject dan Verb". Strategi dan penjelasan lengkapnya dapat dilihat di software belajar
TOEFL. Silakan download software Genius TOEFL.
Perhatikan bagan berikut ini tentang penggunaan subject dan verb yang sesuai dalam sebuah
kalimat:
1. Membaca semua kalimat, dan mencoba memasukkan pilihan jawaban yang tersedia. Misal masukkan
terlebih dahulu pilihan jawaban A.
2. Jika jawaban A tidak benar, cobalah untuk memikirkan kenapa tidak benar.
3. Jika Anda sudah mengetahui kenapa jawaban A salah maka silahkan lanjut ke pilihan B, C, dan D.
4. Jika masih saja tidak yakin, cobalah untuk mengingat rumus dari kalimat tersebut.
5. Jika Anda tidak bisa mendapatkan jawaban yang paling benar, eliminasilah terlebih dahulu jawaban-
jawaban yang jelas salah dan cobalah untuk menebak.
Contoh:
During the Daytona 500, the lead car ___________, leaving the others far behind.
A. forwarded rapidly
B. advanced rapidly
C. advanced forward rapidly
D. advanced in a rapidly manner
Analisa soal: Hal yang pertama Anda lakukan yaitu mencoba memasukkan jawaban A pada soal. Anda
dapat mengetahui bahwa jawaban A salah karena kalimat soal membutuhkan kata kerja sementara jawaban
A tidak memiliki kata kerja. Jika Anda yakin bahwa kata kerja advanced pada jawaban B sudah sesuai
untuk mengisi kalimat di atas maka Anda tidak perlu lagi ke pilihan C dan D. Tapi jika anda kurang yakin
Anda boleh lanjut ke pilhan C. Anda melihat bahwa jawaban C berlebih-lebihan karena terdapat dua kata
yang mepunyai makna sama. Advance telah bermakna move forward (maju). Sementara jawaban D
kata rapidly (adverb) sebelum manner (noun) harusnya rapid (adjective) untuk membentuk
suatu phrase (gabungan kata) yang benar. Ingat rumus (Adjective + Noun) bukan (Adverb + Noun).
