Các loại câu hỏi trong Part VII

Những điều cần lưu ý trong Part VII
- Không có đủ thời gian:
Số lượng câu hỏi trong Part VII và số bài đọc tăng lên so với trước đây khiến người làm cảm thấy mệt mỏi
hơn. Hơn nữa đây là phần thi kiểm tra khả năng đọc hiểu của bạn, không có thủ thuật để làm. Cách duy
nhất là bạn phải luyện tập làm Part V, Part VI trong khoảng thời gian nhanh nhất có thể để thêm thời gian
cho Part VII.
- Có nên làm Part VII trước hay không?
Câu trả lời còn tùy thuộc vào mỗi người. Nếu sau khi làm xong phần nghe, bạn vẫn giữ được bình tĩnh,
thoải mái thì việc làm Part VII trước sẽ giúp các bạn có tinh thần quay trở lại làm tiếp Part V, VI.
Chiến lược tấn công Part VII

Form: Joyce Miller
Subject: meeting change
Date: March 20, 20__
Bob,
The time for the meeting tomorrow has been changed from 9:00 to 12:30. I'm sorry about
this, but it turns out it's the only time everyone can meet. I know you have another meeting
later in the afternoon, but I expect ours won't last more than one hour, so it shouldn't
interfere with that schedule. The good news is that since it's a lunchtime meeting, the office
will provide sandwiches and coffee for everyone. I'll make sure that we order from the
Garden House since I know that's your favorite sandwich shop. We'll meet in the training
room on the fifth floor. Please don't forget to bring ten copies of your budget report.
Thanks. See you tomorrow.
