INTRODUCTION:
Listening is a receptive skill, passive skill, so it requires a lot of effort and practice of learners.
With a duration of 45 minutes for a 100-sentence test consisting of 4 parts and only being heard
once, learners must focus highly to listen and choose the answer. To do this, what learners need
is not only language skills but also exam skills in the time allowed. So how learners can achieve
high results when taking the Listening test of the TOEIC test is not easy. Here are some tips to
help learners learn this skill.
CONTENT:
1. Photos description:
The learner must learn to describe the paintings accurately quickly because the answer will be
the answer that most accurately describes the picture by the current or current tenses that
continue. This description will help the reader visualize some of the vocabulary that can be
encountered during listening, making the listening process more active so it will be easier.
2. Questions – Responses:
This section is usually the part with the most "traps" of the multiple choice form. Usually, the
learner will listen to one question and followed by 3 answers. So the most accurate answer is
usually that the answer is read differently from the most question. Because the proponent takes
advantage of the different homonymous factor to create a "trap" in the listening comprehension
test, learners need to familiarize themselves with these tricks to choose the right answer.
Learners also need to learn other homonyms to increase the vocabulary for this section.
Learners also need to hear what the question word appears at the beginning of the sentence to
choose the appropriate answer. For example, the word for asking is where the usual answer will
start with the word for place, the word to ask is who, the usual answer will be from the person
and so on. It should be noted that this section requires a lot in learners of answer judgment skills
compared to the rest.
3. Short conversations:
This is the part that requires learners to swipe quickly and remember questions before listening
to the conversation. There's usually not enough time for you to be able to read all the choices
below the question so you have to try to remember the phrases in the conversation to choose the
right answer. The correct answer on paper will usually be the exact same phrase as the one you
just heard; or a phrase that is contrary to or synonymous with the phrase you just heard. And so
learners need to increase the vocabulary of the opposite and synonymous words when practicing
this part.
4. Short talks:

The last part of this TOEIC listening test is the most difficult part, consisting of 3 small talks. To
do this part well, the learner must try to quickly surf and remember the question before listening
and focusing on listening to key words. In particular, the correct answer usually falls mainly into
the first sentence and a few fall into the last sentence of the short sentence. Therefore, learners
need to focus as much as possible when listening to the first and last sentences to get it right.
Other questions, if you can't be sure of the answer, need to use guessing skills.
* Use probability assessment for questions that you can't have correct answers to: you'll choose
to hit either A, or B, or C, or D for all the answers you're not sure about. For example, if you
don't know the answer to all 100 questions.
CONCLUSION:
Above are some tips for you to practice to get a high score for the TOEIC Listening test. Wish
you to have high marks in final exam with this subject.
