And
be careful, Do not make mistakes on this two-part work. Just read and understand instructions, so that when the
real test is happen, we won’t need to
read instruction. Just immediately start working on “number 1” question.
in
the structure test, there are 7 things tested. There are Noun
Clauses, Parallel Structure, frase, choosing Adjective or Adverb, participle,
Sentence Connector , and Adverb connector.
1.
Noun
Clauses
This type of clause is usually preceded by the
words: If, What, Where, That ... for easy, when faced with this kind of
problem, Just translate it.

2.
Parallel
Structure
Complex structures and compound arefollowingPARALLEL
principle. This is the equality between the words with other words that
connected by. For Example, HEATED words
separated by a comma (,) then the verb who followed him also shaped the ED,
like COOLED, and STORED .
Likewise,
if the parallel written in noun, then that should be mandatory parallel written
in nouns as well.
Ø Example
1:
Dresses,
skirts, shoes, and children’s clothing are advertised at great reduced prices
A B C
D

Structure and Written Expressions
-
Fast but still
carefully.
-
Be careful of “traps” on Structure and
Written Expressions section.
-
In structure test, the
question is always in the form of sentence (Subject + Verb). So we must be
able to show the Subject and predicate (verb) in a sentence.
-
Start to think logicly.
Sentences should be complete (at least SUBJECTS + P). In the question, the
Sentences already got (eg SUBJECTS), So we must searching
for (predicate), or vice versa .
-
So, find the verb (the
verb) is to be found in the entire sentence that is in question.
-
Rules of VERB searching
:
a.
If there is one verb
then there is no conjunction (conjunctive).
b.
If there are 2 verb
then there is one conjunction (conjunction: linking between sentences and sentences), and so on.
-
Remember, A sentence is
consists of a subject and a predicate ( verb )
Ø example
:
This
sentence needs Predicate or Subject ? Which do you choose an answer
correct
?
__________
, George , is attending the lecture
A.
Right now
B.Happily
C.
