B. Apa saja tips tambahan mengerjakan Structure and Written Expressions?
Cepat namun tetap teliti
Hati-hati karena dalam soal-soal Structure and Written Expressions banyak
terdapat jebakan

Dalam soal structure, soalnya selalu berupa sentence (Subject + Verb). Kita
harus mampu menunjukkan mana Subject mana Predikat (Verb) dalam kalimat
tersebut.
Mulailah dengan logika begini. Kalimat harus lengkap (minimal
SUBYEK+PREDIKAT). Kalimat yang ada sudah punya apa (misal SUBYEK),
sehingga kurang apa (PREDIKAT), atau sebaliknya.
So, cari verb (kata kerja) yang tedapat dalam seluruh kalimat yang ada di soal.
Aturan pencarian VERB nya sebabagi berikut:
o Jika terdapat 1 verb saja maka tidak ada conjunction (kata penghubung)
o Jika terdapat 2 verb maka ada 1 conjunction (ingat! conjunction itu
menghubungkan antara kalimat dan kalimat)
o Jika ada 3 verb maka ada 2 conjunction, dan begitu seterusnya
Ingat! A sentence (kalimat) itu terdiri dari subject dan predikat (verb)
