SKILL 3: SUGGESTIONS
Suggestions are common in Listening Part A, so you should become familiar with them. The following example shows an expression of a suggestion.
Example
On the recording, you hear:
(man) : I haven’t talked with my parents in a while.
(woman) : Why don’t you call them now?
(narrator) : What does the woman suggest?
(man) : I haven’t talked with my parents in a while.
(woman) : Why don’t you call them now?
(narrator) : What does the woman suggest?
In your test book, you read:
(A) Calling off his visit.
(B) Talking about his parents.
(C) Calling his parents in a while.
(D) Phoning his family.
(B) Talking about his parents.
(C) Calling his parents in a while.
(D) Phoning his family.
In this example, the expression why don’t is an expression of suggestion, so the woman’s suggestion is to call them. This means that the woman suggests phoning his family. The best answer is therefore answer (D).
The following chart lists common expressions that
show suggestion.
