trik menjawab test reading

Gaining Good English, http://kursus-inggris01.blogspot.com/
========
Salah satu trik yang bisa dikerjakan saat menjawab reading test ialah :"pahami kalimat pertama dari tiap paragraph, kalau perlu seandainya diijinkan garis bawahi tiap kalimat pertama dalam tiap paragraph"

ONE OF THE TRICK IN DOING READING TEST IS :"PLEASE UNDERSTAND EVERY FIRST SENTENCE IN EVERY PARAGRAPH", IF POSSIBLE IF IT IS ALLOWED YOU CAN UNDERLINE ALL FIRST SENTENCE IN EVERY PARAGRAPH.

Mengapa? / WHY?

Karena dengan membaca kalimat-kalimat pertama dalam tiap paragraph akan mudah menjawab pertanyaan tentang : 1. What is the text about?. 2. What is the paragraph xx about?

BY READING THE FIRST SENTENCE IN EVERY PARAGRAPH YOU WILL BE ABLE TO ANSWER QUESTIO: 1. WHAT IS THE TEXT ABOUT? 2. WHAT IS PARAGRAPH XX ABOUT?
