2. Menemukan tujuan dibuatnya teks (purpose/aim/objective/function)
Pertanyaan
tujuan itu biasanya dapat ditemukan pada paragraf pertama atau kedua
dan ini biasanya berhubungan dengan main idea atau ide pokok.
Jika
teksnya merupakan teks bergenre, tinggal kalian simpulkan teks itu
termasuk apa kemudian liat di tabel yang ada di file doc word yg saya
upload ini. (Saya upload nanti ya. Google drive-nya lagi nggak jalan. Bete ih)
Nanti diingat2 sekilas ya, kata kuncinya saja, soalnya pas
UN kan nggak bisa lihat catatan dan 1 kata saja pasti sudah
merepresentasikan maksudnya. Misalnya teksnya mendeskripsikan seseorang,
purpose-nya pasti to describe. Jika teksnya bercerita tentang Malin
Kundang, purposenya adalah to tell, dll. Dibaca dulu semua ya...

3. Mencari Informasi Rinci ( Detailed Information)
Pertanyaan
ini menanyakan tentang fakta-fakta yang terdapat dalam bacaan mengenai
: Who (siapa), What (apa), Where( Dimana, Kemana), When (Kapan) dan How
(bagaimana).
Kalo soal seperti ini, baca kata kunci di soal,
kemudian cari kata tersebut di teks, biasanya jawabannya pasti ada di
kalimat yang deket-deket situ dan apa yang ada di teks dan di option
jawaban biasanya ditulis sama persis. Tapi ingat cocokkan dulu nyambung
apa enggak jawabannya. Jangan-jangan memang tertulis di teks tapi jawabannya bukan itu, biar nggak Jaka Sembung nanti.
Contoh Pertanyaan dalam UN SMK
Higher
Education (HE) lecturers teach academic and vocational subjects to
undergraduate and postgraduate students aged 18 upwards. They Work in
universities and in some colleges of further education.
Teaching
methods include lectures, seminars, tutorials, practical laboratory
demonstrations, field Work and e-learning. Multimedia technologies are
being increasingly used.
HE lecturers also pursue their own research
to contribute to the wider research activities of their
department/institution. Many aims to have their research published,
either in the form of a book or scholarly article, and this can help
raise the profile of their employing HE institution.
Administrative
tasks take up a significant part of the working day. Many lecturers also
take on a pastoral role with their students. As HE lecturers progress
along their career paths, they may be expected to undertake a managerial
role of the relevant department.
According to the text, what can we share as the teaching methods for Higher Education?
A. Seminars and drawing
B. Tutorials and field trip.
C. E-learning and playing games.
D. Laboratory demonstration and lecturers.
Pembahasan :
Silahkan lihat pada paragraf kedua, yang merupakan "teaching method" nya adalah laboratory and lecturers.
4. Menemukan kosa kata yang tepat
Pertanyaan
vocabulary ini biasanya tentang mencari synonim, antonym, maupun pengertian dari kata (
word's definition). Nah kalo ada soalnya isi
closest meaning, berarti yang diminta adalah sinonim kata itu.
Sedangkan kalo opposite/contrary meaning yang diminta adalah antonimnya
atau lawan katanya.
Tipsnya adalah cocokkan kata yang terdapat pada
pilihan jawaban dengan kalimat yang dituju atau menebak sesuai dengan
konteks kalimat/ bacaan ( guessing meaning from the context). Cek dulu
dari kata yang kamu ketahui artinya. Kalo emang udah nggak nyambung setelah dibahasa(Indonesia)kan, eliminasi jawaban itu. Kalo semua optionnya nggak tau artinya (ya
soalnya, juga jawabannya) ya udah pake hitung kancing. Banyak-banyak
berdoa ya biar kancingnya nggak meleset. Wkwkwkwkwk
Pastikan juga kamu tau arti underlined (digarisbawahi), bold (dicetak tebal), dan italic (dicetak miring) supaya nggak salah sangka.

5. Inference (menemukan maksud tersembunyi/implisit atau menyimpulkan)
Kesimpulan
yang diperoleh berdasarkan fakta dalam bacaan. Tips nya adalah dengan
mencocokkan jawaban dengan fakta dalam teks tersebut. Keyword sangat
penting bagi pertanyaan tipe ini, keyword bisa berupa sinonim atau
persamaan kata.
Kata kunci pertanyaannya biasanya conclude, conclusion,
imply, implied, mean, dan sejenisnya. Jadi bisa dibaca bagian awal dan
akhir saja untuk menyimpulkan biar cepet.

Jadi, untuk menjawab soal reading, kalian mesti paham trik - trik ini. Selain itu, perbanyak latihan dan membaca teks biar kebiasaan. Karena kebanyakan kita tetep bisa jawab pertanyaan reading tanpa tahu detail arti semuanya, cuma bermodal mata yang jeli buat ngeliat key word alias kata kunci. (Baca sampe bulan April aja dulu lah, abis itu bebas. Wkwkwkwk)
