YDS İngilizce Çıkmış Paragraf Soruları Çöz 13
Soru 1 |
BBC4, a comparatively new TV channel, has a character of its own. From the start it aimed to be “a place to think”, and it was always designed as something “that the commercial market would never do”, says Roly Keating, its controller and formerly head of arts at the BBC. Its first week’s schedule indeed verged on a parody of non-commercial TV, with township opera from South Africa and a performance by a Senegalese singer in a London church hall. A top-rated show will typically draw some 50,000 viewers – almost negligible in television terms. Yet that narrow appeal makes BBC4 a model of what a publicly financed broadcaster ought to do. It has roamed into territory where its ratings-driven sister channel, BBC1, seldom dares to tread. Despite a tiny 35m budget, it boasts an intelligent prime-time talk show and a world news programme so internationally minded that its London provenance is barely visible. BBC4 may wear its gravity a little too heavily at times, but it supplies a variety and thoughtfulness unavailable on prime time BBC1. The more the other BBC channels chase the ratings, and the more that BBC4 refuses to be dictated to by them, the more the channel looks like a model for what BBC television could look like.
It is clear that the writer of the passage ----
is very impressed by the performance of the
BBC4 channel | |
feels BBC4 has not lived up to its aim to be “a
place to think” | |
was full of admiration for BBC4’s choice of
programme for the first week | |
regards BBC4’s budget of £35m as excessive | |
would like to see the BBC1 channel closed down |

YDS İngilizce Paragraf Sorularını Kaç Dakikada çözmeliyim?
Toplam 20 soru içeren paragraf sorularına 80 dakikanızı ayırmanız yeterli olacaktır. Özellikle ilk kısımdaki kelime soruları pek zamanınızı almayacağından, oradan artan süreleri paragraflarda kullanmanız en mantıklısıdır. Bu süreyi gerekirse 85-90 dakikaya kadar uzatabilirsiniz. Diğer sorulara göre zamanınızı ayarlamanız gerekmektedir.
(YDS’deki toplam süreniz 180 dakikadır ve en çok zamanı paragraf kısmı almaktadır. Eğer paragrafa 90 dakika ayırırsanız, geride kalan 60 soru için de 90 dakikanız kalacaktır. Soru başına 1.5 dakika eder)
YDS Paragraf Soruları için nasıl bir yöntem uygulanmalı?
Sınavda en çok zorlandığınız kısım paragraf soruları ise, önce diğer bölümleri bitirip sonra paragraflara geçmenizi tavsiye ederiz. YDS’de ve tüm sınavlarda kuraldır, en iyi bildiğiniz konuyu ilk önce çözmelisiniz. En zorları en sona bırakmalısınız. Paragrafı okumadan kesinlikle soruları çözmeye çalışmayın çünkü bu yanlış davranış size farkında olmadan çok zaman kaybettirir hem de başarı şansınızı düşürür. Paragrafları çözerken, önce alanınıza en yakın olan paragraftan başlamalısınız. Örneğin, tarih öğretmenisiniz diyelim, paragrafların içinde tarih ya da coğrafya ile ilgili metin varsa öncelikle ondan başlayın. Eminim bu sizin işinizi kolaylaştıracaktır.
