How to answer the negative subject questions in TOEFL reading?

1. Under normal circumstances, the first few questions in TOEFL reading are all for a certain paragraph, so you can have a general understanding of the content framework and logical order of the article when you do the first few questions, because the order of the questions is generally the same as the order of the article, which candidates should keep in mind, which is also very important for them to summarize the method of doing the questions. In this process, candidates can summarize the arguments in each paragraph and pay attention to the layout of the summary sentences in each paragraph in preparation for the final question. Everyone's situation is different, and you can also log on to the official website of Wendu International Education for one-on-one consultation.

2. Generally, for the last TOEFL reading question, the first paragraph can be ignored directly, in most cases, the content of the first paragraph is the background introduction of the article, and the paragraph that plays a foreshadowing role in the article is not very relevant to the summary of the whole article.

3. Due to the relationship between the exam time, candidates do not have so much time to read through the full text when doing the first question, and when candidates do the last question, they can roughly browse the text, and can directly ignore the descriptive sentences, and generally the key content of each paragraph is at the beginning of the paragraph, which is very in line with the expression of Westerners. As long as the candidate finds the core content of each paragraph, it will be much easier to answer the last question.

4. Sometimes in the question, the candidate finds the central word and then corresponds to the corresponding key sentence, which greatly improves the accuracy of problem solving.

5. Then there is the screening of the sub-arguments of the reading article, under normal circumstances, the sub-arguments and the main idea are interlocking, and then we can find the correct answer by excluding the irrelevant content in the answer.

6. If the last question is to examine the discourse aspect of a sub-thesis, then the candidate can narrow down the scope and then find the correct answer to this sub-thesis.

When preparing for the TOEFL reading test, we must know that in the TOEFL reading test, the examiner's examination of the test taker cannot be very intuitive for the test taker to answer the question, and more importantly, the test taker can think according to the question, so as to choose the correct answer, which is also in line with the general TOEFL test question rules. If the test taker masters this rule, then there will be a goal in starting the question.

First of all, find the key words from the question, generally proper nouns, time numbers, and some uncommon rare words are more suitable for keywords, after finding the keywords, go to the original text to find the exact same word, read the sentence where the word is located, and then find the synonymous replacement of the original sentence read in the alternative, generally speaking, nouns are relatively difficult to be replaced, and other words are relatively easy to replace.

In addition, some methods of guessing can also be used for this type of question.

Inference questions. This type of question is more difficult because the alternatives most likely do not speak directly to the original text, and what you need to do is to find an answer that is related to the original text, or the other side of the original text. The method of doing the question is similar to the detail question, or first position, find the key words from the question, and return to the original text to read the sentence, but this time it is not to go back to the alternative to find and rewrite, but to introduce some extraneous meanings that are not said in the original text.

The process of inference is a comparison of two things, including the original rhetoric, the comparison of time, cause and effect, examples, etc., if you are uncertain, you can compare the answers by elimination, and the answers that do not conform to common sense are wrong, and the answers that are too absolute are wrong, etc., can still be used in this question type.
