  • Information question: TOEIC測驗中以 「6W1H」疑問句 (以疑問詞When/Where/Who/Why/What/Which/How開頭的疑問句) 約占出題數 1/2。

  • YES-NO question: TOEIC測驗中以Be動詞或助動詞為主的疑問句(Is/Was/Are/Were/Do/Does/Did/Can/Could/Will/Would) 約占出題數 1/4。

  • 在錄音帶播出對話題前,若能先瀏覽每道題的4個答案選項,將有助於理解會話內容。列印在題目卷上的題目,基本上都是「6W1H」為主的疑問句。簡短對話題答題訣竅是要能推測出對話的兩人關係為何? 會話是在甚麼樣的情況下進行? 所以要能掌握所有「WH」疑問句,對於出現在會話中的人名、地名等的專有名詞,以及顯示時間、場所的詞彙要特別注意。
  • 答題時要特別注意出現在題目或答案選項中的代名詞(如he / she / they 等人稱代名詞)。尤其在出現男女對話或出現人名的情境中須注意人稱代名詞。
  • 本大題的答案選項多半出現關於時間、地點、名稱、數量等資訊。所以要能在對話內容中聽得出關鍵詞,因此應熟悉生活英語應對及練習推測對話的場合、狀況及準確地記憶具體的名稱、數量等。
