I recently bought this Civil Service Examination reviewer (published by a review center that boasts of producing topnotchers), to prepare for an upcoming exam. While answering the English practice tests, I've already noticed grammatical errors here and there. I tried to ignore them, (Er, not really. I kept complaining to my brother that I wasted Php295 on this thing) but after 30 minutes of torture I finally decided to stop reading.
Here's one of the 'trick' questions. The instruction was to identify which one of the 4 sentences contains an error.
a. We have lived in Bukidnon since 1960.
b. I think we will be making it our home because father and mother think it is a good place to bring up children.
c. Before 1960, my parents live in Iloilo where they both taught at one of the schools there.
d. We find Malaybalay a peaceful place and a healthful one, free from the distractions of city life.
e. No mistakes.
Hmp. So now I've decided that I'll just depend on good 'ole stock knowledge.

ReplyDeleteNo, I'm done with Civil Service dugay ra. But I'm reviewing for the FSO diba so nangita lang kog basic review materials kay I know it'll be harder than Civil Service. But since na-turn off ko sa kabati niya, I'll stick to my initial plan nga di na lang mag-review, hehe :)
