新托福听力问题: Purpose

　　Why did the speaker say that? What was the purpose ofsaying that? You will hear a part of the listening passagerepeated to you and then you will be asked to pick the answerchoice with the reason for saying what the speaker said. Manytimes the speaker will use idioms so that you will have a hardertime completely understanding what they said. When idiomsand phrases are used, the focus shifts from a few words to thewhole context. This question is testing you on whether or not you can understand the reason whysomebody said something without necessarily understanding every word that the speaker spoke.If a speaker says that they will have to make due, this might not make any sense to the test taker,but if they think of the context or the situation being that they missed the registration deadlineand they will only get to take three classes instead of four without any choice, then the test takercan guess that the purpose of saying "I’ll just have to make due" is one of resignation or being atpeace with their situation. Lastly, watch out for any negative expressions that can have a positivemeaning like "There isn’t a better place to eat lunch." This means that the place to eat is the best,not the worst.
