TOEIC Listening Part 3 — Soal
Bacaan
Man: Come in, Sarah. Have a seat. Thanks for coming in today.
Woman: Thank you for having me. I'm very interested in the Marketing Associate position.
Man: Great. So, I've reviewed your resume, and it looks quite impressive. Your experience at Global Corp seems particularly relevant.
Woman: Yes, I worked there for three years, focusing on digital campaigns and market analysis. I believe my skills align well with your requirements.
Man: That’s good to hear. We’re looking for someone who can really drive engagement. Now, before we dive deeper, do you have any questions for me about the role or the company?
Woman: Actually, yes. I was wondering about the typical workload. For instance, how are responsibilities usually delegated, especially concerning administrative tasks like processing expense reports or even tracking utility bill payments for the office?
Man: That’s a practical question. Expense reports are submitted bi-weekly through our online portal. As for the utility bills, the office manager handles that directly, but we do expect all associates to be mindful of resource usage. Is that something you have experience with?
Woman: I haven't directly managed utility payments, but I’m very organized and detail-oriented. I'm confident I could handle such responsibilities efficiently if needed. My main focus, however, would be on marketing initiatives.
Man: Understood. Let's talk more about your campaign ideas then...

Pembahasan
📖 Terjemahan Teks — Percakapan ini adalah wawancara antara seorang pria dan seorang wanita. Pria itu menyatakan terkesan dengan resume wanita tersebut, menekankan bahwa pengalamannya di Global Corp sangat relevan. Wanita itu membalas bahwa dia telah bekerja di sana selama tiga tahun, fokus pada kampanye digital dan analisis pasar, dan yakin keterampilannya sesuai dengan persyaratan.
📝 Alasan Jawaban — Pria itu berkata, "We’re looking for someone who can really drive engagement." yang berarti mereka mencari "seseorang yang benar-benar dapat mendorong keterlibatan." Ini sangat cocok dengan pilihan 3, "Someone who can significantly increase customer interaction." (Seseorang yang dapat secara signifikan meningkatkan interaksi pelanggan.) Frasa 'drive engagement' menyiratkan peningkatan 'interaction'.
💡 Tips Hari Ujian — Dalam Part 3/4, perhatikan baik-baik bagian di mana pembicara secara eksplisit menyebutkan "siapa/apa yang dicari", "saran yang diajukan", atau "langkah selanjutnya". Fokus pada frasa seperti 'X is looking for Y', 'I suggest Z', 'Next, we will...'.
📊 Analisis Opsi Salah — X) Someone with direct experience managing utility bills. — Tidak ada penyebutan langsung mengenai pengelolaan tagihan utilitas dalam percakapan. X) A candidate who is detail-oriented and organized. — Kualitas-kualitas ini umumnya penting, tetapi bukan yang paling ditekankan oleh pria tersebut dalam percakapan ini. X) An applicant with a background in office administration. — Pria itu merujuk pada pengalaman yang relevan dengan posisi pemasaran, bukan latar belakang administrasi perkantoran.
