Hello, Mr. Lee.

I am reviewing your Toefl lectures!


I have few questions to ask for this passage. 


1. Are questions such as 9 and 11 which refers to the whole passage common?

I skimmed read the question and didn't see the part where it said, 'passage', though I got it right.

But next time I want to make sure to read this. 


2. On question 12, you have explained why D can't be the answer. 

You said, ETS makes a question with a 의도.

Then, I thought, when ETS would want to make a sentence which goes on the conclusion, would it give particular cues( So, As a reslut...)?


3. I am attempting to completely 100% understand the passage. But, in order to do so, do I have to understand every sentence in the passage?

I am having a trouble on understanding the latter part of the passage 6, which says, " Since the raising of most crops necessitates the prior removal of the natural vegetation, crop failures leaves extensive tracts of land........".

I can't grasp the relationship between the 'need for the prior removal of the vegetation' and the crop failure. 


4. On question 13, I thought 3 was wrong because of 'cattle', thinking cattle refers to 'cow group'. 

I thought livestock includes cattle therefore, implying 'cattle' would be wrong......

Do you have some tips to avoid this kind of 부분집합, 전체 집합 dilemma? 


Thank You!

1. whole passage questions aren't COMMON, but do expect them on the test.

 

2. Probably, if it is to be used as a conclusion, it will have DIRECT clues as to why it has to be the conclusion.

 

3. (paragraph 6 by the way, don't get "passage" and "paragraph" confused)

 

You need to focus on sentence connection. It is NOT because of that single sentence, but the sentence prior to that sentence that makes everything comprehensible.

These regions are especiallylikely to have periods of severe dryness, so that crop failures are common.Since the raising of most crops necessitates the prior removal of the naturalvegetation, crop failures leave extensive tracts of land devoid ofa plant cover and susceptible to wind and water erosion.

 

So to summarize

Severe dryness---->crop failure------>even bf crop failure, need to remove natural vegetation------>meaning no natural vegetation and plus crop failure-------> no plant cover------>wind and water erosion.

 

4. cattle doesn't necessarily refer ONLY to the cow group. It also generally means livestock.

Plus, you need to learn to compare answer choices. Just because of that one word, it doesn't make another option choice(which is clearly wrong) better.
