Strategies in TOEIC Test - Part 1; Analyzing Pictures

1. Make Assumptions

When you listen to the TOEIC test Part 1, you often have to make assumptions based on what you see in the picture. You have to determine which of the four statements is true or might be true.

Problem: Solution:

More than one answers may seem true.

Listen carefully to the whole sentence and choose the answer that best matches the picture.

Look at the following picture and learn how you can make assumptions from it.

What is the person (probably) doing?Possible answers:The passenger is looking out the window.He is holding a book.

The man is sitting next to the window.The man is smiling.The man is traveling.

Where is it? What can you infer about the place?The man is on the bus.The man is on a train.The window is open.

Now listen and choose the best answer; A, B, C, or D which matches the above picture.

2. Identify People

You often have to identify the people you see in a picture. You may identify them by number, gender, location, description, activity, or occupation.

Problem: Solution:

The people may be incorrectly identified.

Determine the number, gender, location, description, activity, and occupation of the people as best as you can.

Look at the following picture and learn how to identify people.

Who are they? What are they doing? Where?Possible answers:There are four people at the table.There are two men and two women at the table.

The people are in a restaurant.The guests are sitting at a table.The customers are going to order their meal.The waitress is standing next to the table.

What are they wearing?Possible answer:The waiter is wearing an apron.

Now listen and choose the best answer; A, B, C, or D which matches the above picture.

3. Identify Things

You often have to identify things in a picture. You should try to name everything you see. However, you are not required to know words or terms specific to one particular occupation. Instead, you should know the general word or term of the things in the picture.

Problem: Solution:

You may not know the words needed to identify the things in the picture.

Use the context of the picture to help you identify the things.

Look at the following picture and learn how to identify things.

What and where is it?Possible answers:The ship is mooring in the harbor.The tanker is docking.

The ship is loading.The ship is being refueled.The ship is at the dock.

Related words: Ship, tanker, cargoship, cargo, gas, dock, moor, anchor, harbor, port, load, unload, refuel, fuel.

Now listen and choose the best answer; A, B, C, or D which matches the above picture.

4. Identify Actions

You often have to identify the actions in a picture, i.e. what the people are doing. You should try to analyze the time sequence of the actions.

Problem: Solution:

You may not understand what is happening in the picture.

Use the context of the picture to help you make assumptions about what happened before, during, and after the action.

Look at the following picture and learn how to identify things.

What are the persons doing? Who and where are they?Possible answers:The people are going to board the plane.They are going to travel by plane.The family is waiting to board the plane.The man and the woman are looking at the girl.The man is standing behind the girl.They will go through the boarding pass.They are standing in a queue.

Do you understand what these sentences imply?Do you know what they mean?

o "If you had left earlier, you would have caught the train." or o "You will make yourself ill if you eat all those chocolates."

They are called conditional sentences. A conditional sentence consists of two clauses; the if-clause, and the main clause. The if-clause can come first or second. When it comes first, we usually put a comma between the two clauses.

There are 4 (four) types of conditional sentences, including mixed conditional.

1. Conditional Sentence Type 1

The if-clause is in the present tense, the main clause uses will and the infinitive, or simple present.

Conditional Sentence Type 1

TYPE IF CLAUSE MAIN CLAUSE MEANING

Type 1Simple presentIf you work hard,

Simple presentyou succeed.Simple futureyou will succeed.

True in the present or possible in futureIt’s possible to happen in the future

When do we use conditional sentence type 1?

a. We use conditional sentence type 1 to talk about possible situations in the present or future.

o If you leave earlier, you will not be late.

o If you open the windows, the room will get some fresh air.

b. We often use conditional type 1 to talk about facts or processes:

o If you heat water to 100 degrees, it will boil.

o If we stare into the sun, we will hurt our eyes.

Note:

Other modal verbs can also be used in place of will and would.

o If it rains like this all day, the river might flood. (might = will possibly)o If it rains like this all day, the river could flood. (could = will be able to)

2. Conditional Sentence Type 2

The if-clause is in the simple past or the past continuous tense, the main clause uses would and the infinitive, or would be and the present participle (Verb-ing).

Conditional Sentence Type 2

TYPE IF CLAUSE MAIN CLAUSE MEANING

Type 2

Simple pastIf you worked hard,Past continuousIf it were not raining now,

would + simple formyou would succeed.would be + present participleI would be going out for a walk.

Untrue in the presentFact: You don’t work hard, so you don’t succeedFact:It’s raining now, so I’m not going out for a walk.

When do we use conditional sentence type 2?

Conditional sentence type 2 is used to talk about actions or situations that are not taking place in the present or future, but we can imagine the probable result.

o If we didn’t live in a big city, we would not have to breathe polluted air everyday. (In truth, we live in a big city)

o If he were here, I would tell him about my plan.(In fact, he isn’t here)

Note:

‘Were’ is used for both singular and plural subjects. The use of type 2 conditional in “If I were you, I would ………” is a common form of

advice.

22 Conditional Sentence Type 3

The if-clause is in the past perfect or the past perfect continuous tense, the main clause uses would have and past participle (Verb 3), or would have been and present participle (Verb-ing).

Conditional Sentence Type 3

TYPE IF CLAUSE MAIN CLAUSE MEANING

Type 3

Past perfectIf you had worked hard,Past perfect continuousIf it had not been raining yesterday afternoon,

would have + past participleyou would have succeeded.would have been + present participleI would have been going out for a walk.

Untrue in the pastFact: You didn’t work hard, so you didn’t succeed.Fact: It was raining yesterday afternoon. I was not going out for a walk.

When do we use conditional sentence type 3?

Conditional sentence type 3 is used to talk about actions or situations that did not take or were not taking place in the past, but we can imagine the probable result.

o If you had come to the party last night, you would have met my cousin. (In truth, you didn’t come to the party last night)

o If he had not been late this morning, his teacher would not have punished him. (In truth, he was late)

2. Mixed Conditional Sentence

Mixed conditional sentence is a combination of conditional sentence type 2 and conditional sentence type 3.

Mixed Conditional Sentence

TYPE IF CLAUSE MAIN CLAUSE MEANING

Mixed Type

Simple pastIf I were a bird,Past perfectIf you had worked hard,

would have + past participleI would have flown to your place last night.would + simple formyou would succeed.

Untrue in the present or future.Fact: I am not a bird, so I didn’t fly to your place.Untrue in the past.Fact: You didn’t work hard. Now, you don’t succeed.

When do we use mixed conditional sentence?

Mixed conditional sentence is used to talk about actions or situations that did not take or were not taking place in the past, but we can imagine the probable result in the present, or actions or situations that do not take place in the present, but we can imagine the probable result in the past.

o If you lived near the factory, you would have heard the sound of the explosion. (In truth, you don’t live near the factory. Therefore, you didn't hear the sound of the explosion.)

o If he had not been late this morning, he would be permitted to join the test. (In truth, he was late. Therefore, he is not permitted to join the test.)
