TOEIC Listening Part 3 — Soal

Bacaan

Woman: Hi, it's Sarah from Marketing. I'm having a bit of trouble with my workstation. It's been running extremely slowly all morning, making it hard to get anything done.
Man: Hello Sarah. This is Mark from IT. I'm sorry to hear that. Have you tried restarting it yet? Sometimes that resolves minor glitches.
Woman: Yes, I did that first thing. It helped for about ten minutes, but then it slowed right back down. I'm worried it might be a bigger issue, especially with the new software update.
Man: Understood. It's possible the update is causing a conflict, or perhaps there's another process hogging resources. Did you happen to notice if this started after you opened a specific application?
Woman: Not that I recall. I was just switching between our project management tool and the shared drive. Oh, actually, I did open that large presentation file earlier. Maybe that's related?
Man: It's possible. Large files can sometimes cause temporary slowdowns, especially if the system is already strained. We also need to ensure all our systems comply with the latest workplace safety guidelines regarding data security and system integrity. I'll run some diagnostics remotely. Can you confirm your employee ID for me?

Soal

Pilihan

  1. A. The new software update caused a conflict. ✓

  4. D. The large presentation file overloaded the system.

Jawaban

Pembahasan

📖 Terjemahan Teks: Sarah dari Pemasaran melaporkan masalah dengan komputer kerjanya yang berjalan sangat lambat sepanjang pagi, membuatnya sulit untuk menyelesaikan pekerjaan. Mark dari IT kemudian bertanya apakah dia sudah mencoba me-restartnya, yang dijawab Sarah bahwa dia sudah melakukannya dan itu hanya membantu selama sekitar sepuluh menit sebelum kembali melambat.

📝 Alasan Jawaban Benar: Kalimat Sarah, "Yes, I did that first thing. It helped for about ten minutes, but then it slowed right back down," dengan jelas menunjukkan bahwa me-restart hanyalah solusi sementara. Pilihan 0, "The new software update caused a conflict.", adalah yang paling sesuai karena Sarah menyebutkan "especially with the new software update.", yang mengindikasikan penyebab potensial mengapa komputer hanya berfungsi baik untuk sementara waktu.

💡 Tips Saat Ujian: Untuk pertanyaan yang menanyakan sebab dalam Part 3/4, dengarkan baik-baik bagian di mana pembicara secara langsung menyebutkan "penyebab" atau informasi yang mengikuti kata penghubung seperti 'because', 'since', 'due to'. Jika pertanyaan menanyakan alasan mengapa masalah berlanjut, carilah informasi baru atau penyebab yang disebutkan setelah solusi sementara.

📊 Analisis Opsi Salah:
X) A specific application was consuming too many resources. — Teks tidak menyebutkan aplikasi spesifik apa pun yang mengonsumsi terlalu banyak sumber daya.
X) The employee ID was incorrect. — Kesalahan ID karyawan sama sekali tidak relevan dengan isi percakapan.
X) The large presentation file overloaded the system. — Tidak ada disebutkan dalam teks bahwa file presentasi yang besar membebani sistem.
