PURPOSE, METHOD, AND ATTITUDE QUESTIONS

These three question types are very similar to purpose, method, and attitude questions in the Reading Section

(A) Purpose Questions

Purpose questions ask why a speaker says something or what motivates a speaker

to mention something in a conversation or lecture They may ask you why a speaker presents certain information or gives a certain example

Here is an example of a purpose question based on part of a lecture from the Listening Preview Test

Sample Item 1

» Listen to part of a discussion from the Listening Preview Test and a purpose question about it Sample notes on this conversation are also provided

Sample Notes:

Prof Longdell: taught law @ Hvrd, not bus

Case Meth 1st used for law stu

Cple yrs later, used at Columb U Law School

+1910, 1912 Hvrd Bus School

Used in other fields as well: e.g education (Prof Speed’s wife)

Sample Question:

Why does Professor Speed mention his wife?

The student asks if the case method can also be used in fields other than law and

business The professor first gives her a general answer (“it’s been used in all sorts of

disciplines”) He then gives her a specific example: he mentions his wife, who teaches

in the School of Education, and says that she uses cases to train teachers Choice 1 is

therefore best He does not say that she teaches in the business school (2); he says that

she teaches in the School of Education He does not say that she studied law (3) He

also does not say that she disagrees with his own opinion of cases (4); in fact, since

she uses cases herself, she probably agrees with his opinion

You will probably see two to four purpose questions in each Listening Section

(B) Method Questions

Method questions ask you how a speaker introduces an idea, emphasizes an idea,

or explains an idea in a conversation or lecture A speaker may, for instance, indicate

cause/effect, contrast two concepts, give reasons, provide statistics, compare an

unfamiliar concept with a familiar one, or provide examples to support a general

concept

Here is a portion of a presentation from the Listening Preview Test and a

method question about it
