About the TOEIC® test…Why do people have trouble with the TOEIC® test? The reason that most people have trouble is time. Most people can’t finish the test. There are too many questions and not enough time. To do well on the TOEIC® test, you need to answer all the questions quickly. You will not have time to think carefully. So, during the test, you need to carefully but quickly read each question. Then, answer the question and move to the next question. You need to be able to read English quickly and you need to be able to think in English quickly.
One of the best ways to study for the TOEIC® test is to read. You need to be able to read quickly. So, in order to ready quickly you need to practice reading. You need to read a lot! However, in order to increase your reading speed, you should read easy English that is not too difficult. You should read books that you can easily understand. If you read for 45 minutes a day for one year, your TOEIC® score would improve. You should also get practice listening to English. Try to understand natural English, spoken naturally and quickly.
Try to make a one-year study plan. Then follow your plan. If you follow your plan, your English will improve.
Everyone takes the same test, that is, the TOEIC® test is a one-size-fits-all test. So, as a result, there are easy questions and difficult questions. There are many levels of difficulty. So, if you don’t know an answer, guess and move on. If you are an intermediate learner of English and you want to get a score of 600, probably 30% to 40% of the questions will be too difficult for you. So don’t worry about it. Just guess and move on.
The TOEIC® test measures your general level of English ability. It does not measure exactly. Most people have to guess the answers for many questions. As a result the test is not perfectly accurate. Don’t think of your score as a single number. Think of your score as your point score +/- 25 points. So, if you have a 475, your score is really 450 - 500. If you have 400, your score is really 375-425. This means that there is no statistical difference between 450 and 500. So, if your score goes up 50 points, don’t celebrate. And if your score goes down 50 points, don’t worry. If you want to get a better TOEIC® score, you need to study. You should try to read, listen to natural English, study vocabulary and study grammar. If you study less than 200 hours a year, your TOEIC® score might not go up. If you study more than 200 hours a year, your TOEIC® score will probably go up. If you study for 400 hours a year, your score might even jump up. The more you use English, the more you will improve.

Subject: Paris office closing? Received: 01/25 10:24:43
Dear Ms. Cain,
I’ve just heard a rumor that the Paris office is closing in a few months. As
you may be aware, I am scheduled to be transferred to that office in September,
so I’m not sure what my status is at the moment.
Is the rumor true? If so, what will happen to those of us who were going to be
working there? Should I be sending out resumes and looking for a new job?
Rajiv Bakre
To: [email protected] From: [email protected]: re: Paris office closing? Received: 01/25 10:36:09
Rajiv,
I’m sorry if the rumors of the Paris office closing have alarmed you. You have nothing to worry about.
As you know, we currently have offices in Paris, Berlin and Athens, in addition to London. It is true that management is thinking about combining the three continental offices into a single Continental Operations Center. This would be done to reduce the number of office staff and to combine our accounting department. It would not affect your position as an IT Engineer at all. There are discussions about moving everyone to Berlin, so it is possible that you might have to move there, but nothing has been decided yet.
Even if we do decide to move everyone to Berlin, nothing would happen until next year, at the earliest, or the year after that. Your transfer to Paris in September will not be affected.
This information has not been officially released yet, so I would appreciate it if you kept the news to yourself. If you have any other questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.

Sterling Metal Fabrication, one of the oldest manufacturing businesses in the Manchester area, has announced plans to close its local factory and move all its manufacturing operations to Slobozia, Romania, 125 km east of Bucharest. The Government of Romania is helping the move by donating a 36 hectare plot of land for the factory. Sterling Manufacturing spokesperson, Amanda Smithfield, said that the company was finding it difficult to compete in the international market due to the high cost of labor and the strong environmental laws in the U.K. In addition to the lower labor costs, the new factory will be closer to many of the mining centers of Eastern Europe. This will make it more economical to send raw materials to the factory. The sale of Sterling’s current factory grounds, near Manchester’s Salford Central Station, will pay for the cost of building a new state-of-the-art factory in Slobozia. More than 600 workers, currently employed at the Manchester site, are expected to lose their jobs when the factory closes.
Sterling Metal Manufacturing moving to Romania
[Reading 2]
6. How is the Romanian Government encouraging Sterling to move to Slobozia? They are offering large tax breaks. They are giving the company free land. They are eliminating environmental regulations. They are paying for the new factory construction.
7. Why is Sterling moving its factory to Romania? There is more land than in England. It has many major sales markets nearby. Romania has no other competing companies. It is easier and cheaper to manufacture there.
8. How will Sterling Metal Fabrication pay for the cost of the new factory? It will get tax money from Manchester. It will buy a large plot of land in Slobozia. It will borrow the money from the government. It will sell the land that its Manchester factory is on.
9. What will happen to the workers at the Manchester factory? Some of them will move to Slobozia. Most will build the new Manchester factory. They will be laid off from their jobs at the factory. Many will continue to work for Sterling Metal Fabrication.

Subject: Conference room schedule
Jennifer,
Would it be possible to switch your 10:00 client meeting to a different time
tomorrow? I’ve got a very important potential client coming in tomorrow. He is
only available from 10:00 to 12:00, but both conference rooms are booked during
that time. Carolyn and Robert both have several people coming to their meetings,
making it difficult to change, and I haven’t been able to get hold of Sam. Also,
Meeting Room #1 is bigger and has a better monitor for my presentation slides.
Normally, I wouldn’t ask, but this is possibly a VERY big deal and I don’t want
to mess it up. I don’t think taking the client down to the coffee shop and
showing my slides on my laptop would be very impressive.
I understand that this is short notice, and I apologize for this sudden request.
If it’s impossible for you to change, I will keep trying to get hold of Sam, but
it would really help me, if you could move your reservation to the afternoon.
Looking forward to hearing back from you.
Walter Black
1. Why did Jennifer Grandin reserve a meeting room? To meet with a client To study presentation skills To talk with some suppliers To interview potential employees
2. What is Sam Pierson’s telephone extension? 2239 2876 4998 5823
3. Why does Walter want to use Meeting Room #1? It is much closer to the downstairs coffee shop. It is the biggest meeting room in the building. It has a laptop computer with presentation slides. The room is better for giving presentations.
4. Why can’t Walter use the meeting rooms in the afternoon? He will be out of town in the afternoon. He has to go to a client’s office after lunch. The person he is meeting is busy after noon. The meeting rooms aren’t available in the afternoon.
5. What will Walter do if Jennifer refuses his request? Cancel his meeting with his client. Try to get in touch with Sam again. Cancel the Sales Training Seminar for the day. Reschedule the Marketing/Sales Coordination meeting.
6. Why doesn’t Walter want to use Meeting Room 1 at 11:00? His client can’t come at 11:00. It would be too difficult to change the schedule. He wants to meet his client for coffee. Sam is busy at that time.

Recently, our weekly Monday morning staff meeting has not been very useful. --[1]-- And the people who come to the meeting are often working on their laptops during the meeting and not contributing much to the discussion. --[2]--
I take responsibility for this. --[3]-- As Managing Director, it is my job to make sure that we are working effectively at all times. Therefore, starting next month, attendance at the Monday morning meeting is mandatory, unless you have told me ahead of time that you have an important business matter to take care of.
On the Friday before the meeting, I will send out an agenda that details what is to be decided at the meeting and who I expect reports from. The Director of Human Resources, the V.P. of Sales and the Head of Manufacturing will make reports weekly. Please keep your reports short and to the point – 2-3 minutes each – as I am going to try to keep the meeting to just 30 minutes, if possible.
--[4]-- Nobody enjoys sitting in meetings, but I expect everyone to pay attention and be prepared to offer their ideas.
Let’s use this time to set out our priorities for the week and assign responsibilities. Working efficiently and effectively is good for the company and good for you.

To: [email protected] From: [email protected] Re: Cable Packages Date: Feb 15th
Dear Ms. Hill,
Thank you for your interest in our SkyCity Cable Television Service. I’m happy to tell you that you CAN make your own package by choosing a package and then adding channels “a la carte”. You can choose the Basic Package and then add any other channels that you want. However, it might be cheaper to choose one of the deluxe packages and then add the additional channels to that. I would recommend the Home Life Package.
You’ll find a list of the channel prices on our website at www.skycitycable.com/channels. If you could send us a list of all of the channels you would like, we would be happy to figure out the cheapest way to get them all to you. Also, our academic channels are a part of every package, including the Basic Package, so all of our customers are able to enjoy these channels too.
If you have any other questions, or you would like some help designing your cable television package, we would be happy to assist you at our customer support line at 1-800-776-9863.
Ty WilliamsCustomer Support, SkyCity Cable Television
To: [email protected] From: [email protected] Re: Cable Packages Date: Feb 16th
Dear Ms. Hill,

We chose the Home Life package as it comes with all the channels on cooking that you were interested in. Below is the list of added channels that you chose as an “a la carte” option:
- Channels 43 from Outdoor Life - Channel 142 from Movies 24/7
The total monthly cost comes to $73.75.
If you have any other questions, or wish to make some adjustments on your package, please feel free to call our customer support line at 1-800-776-9863.

Accident ReportDate of Incident: December 3rd, 10:43 AMLocation of Incident: East Building loading dock
Description of Incident: Brad Williams, a part-time worker in the warehouse, was loading pallets of wood
onto a truck with a forklift. While turning a corner, his forklift hit a large 12 meter shelving unit. The entire
shelving unit full of pipes and pipe fittings fell onto the forklift. Mr. Williams was hit by the falling parts
and sustained serious injuries to his right leg and foot. The cause of the accident is still under investigation.
However, Mr. Williams has been given several warnings for driving his forklift too quickly. And witnesses
who saw the accident said that Mr. Williams was driving too fast.

To: c.eccles@northridge lcs.com Time/Date: Dec. 3rd 15:54:29 From: m.hooper@northridge lcs.com Subject: Warehouse accident
Carol,
What the heck is going on in the warehouse? This is the third serious accident we have had in the last six months. -[ 1 ]- .
We’ve just heard from the Emergency Room at St. Eleanor’s Hospital that Brad Williams has broken his leg in several places. Thank God, he wasn’t killed. Blood testing at the hospital found no evidence of alcohol or drugs in his system. -[ 2 ]-.
You have got to improve safety procedures and start reporting people who don’t follow the rules. -[ 3 ]-. Also, we need to do something to secure the shelving units better. Finally, Williams should have been reported for his fast driving. The warehouse is a work space, not a play space. -[ 4 ]-. I’ve heard reports that he is always playing around and driving too fast. Why does he still work for us?
This is serious. You need to take immediate steps to improve the safety situation.

5. Why is Roger not interested in the Scan-Touch or Compuprint machines? He wants only the latest, most up-to-date models. Price isn’t as important to Roger, as it is to Monty. He doesn’t think they are as reliable. They don’t need the added features of the higher priced models.

Monty,
Take a look at this ad. The other day, when we were talking about replacing our
printers, you suggested leasing new machines to save money. This might be even better.
I’ve heard good things about Printertech, and since we don’t need WiFi, or double-sided
printing or any of that other fancy stuff, a couple of those GB650s might be enough
for us. It sure beats the $3000 price of the newer models. We could probably talk them
down to $2400-$2500 for two of them.
You’re better at bargaining than me, so why don’t you give them a call and see if they
would be willing to give us a better price?
Talk to Pietro first, since he’ll be the one responsible for setting them up and managing
them. If he thinks it’s a good deal, go ahead and make it happen.

To: [email protected] Date: December 18th From: [email protected] Re: Order #8857389
Dear Sirs,
I have been doing business with Pacific Rim Importers since 2006 and have always been satisfied with your products. They sell well and the price is reasonable. Recently, however, you seem to be having some problems in your shipping department.
Four items in our most recent shipment (order #8857389) were not what I ordered, nor were they listed on the packing list. The four teak wood coffee tables didn’t match the dining tables. They were a different color. When I looked at the label they were listed as mahogany wood, not teak wood. The label also identified them as product # F3432, which is listed on your website as a mahogany coffee table and selling for $54.79.
Clearly someone packed the wrong items. We usually sell the dining table, chairs and coffee table as a set, so they have to match. Please deliver two of the teak wood coffee tables as soon as possible and let us know how you want us to return the mahogany ones.

Bernie,
We have received an invoice for $4,762.87 from a vendor called Nettrick’s Banquets and Catering, but it has no purchase order number attached. I can’t find any record of the vendor in our records, so I don’t think we have done business with them before. Has this payment been approved?
You said last month, after the problem we had with the fake landscaping service, that you wanted us to be very careful about paying invoices that have no purchase order. I looked into the company. They seem to be a legitimate caterer, or at least they have a nice website. Let me know if I should go ahead with payment.
One other thing, I’m still waiting for the invoice from the motivational speaker, Jane Williams, you brought in for the conference in July. I have a purchase order for $2,500 dollars, but she hasn’t sent an invoice to me, so I can’t pay her. She has called and left voice messages a couple of times, complaining about not being paid yet, but she didn’t leave a phone number. I think you said she was a friend of yours. Please get in touch with her and tell her that she has to send us an official invoice, before we can pay her.
Harriet MortonPayroll and Accounting
6. What two problems does Harriet Morton ask Bernie about? A missing purchase order number and a late invoice Hiring a speaker and a caterer for a banquet Making salary payments and website development Paying a landscaping service and a speaker
7. Why is Ms. Morton concerned about Nettrick’s Banquets and Catering? The company has no website. She has received no invoice from them. The company has never hired them before. The purchase order is for less than the invoice.
8. What does Ms. Morton ask Bernie to approve? Hiring a web developer Payment to Jane Williams Payment of the Nettrick’s invoice. Getting Nettrick’s to issue an invoice
9. Why did Jane Williams call Ms. Morton? To see if she could leave her phone number To ask about payment for a speech To request an opportunity to speak To ask about the purchase order number

Teresa,
Last time we talked, you told me that you and Jerry were considering building a new home. I just happened to come across an ad in the paper for a new luxury housing development up on Lookout Mountain and was wondering if you would like to go with me this weekend to check it out.
I have a friend who lives near Lookout Mountain and she says it’s a beautiful area. With the housing market in such bad shape, this might be the perfect time to buy. You should be able to get a great deal. I hear some people are getting as much as 25-30% off of the listed price these days.
They have the floor plans for the houses on their website, and frankly they look amazing. They also have some incredible options, like Jacuzzi baths, steam saunas, tennis courts and swimming pools.
Anyway, I’m free either Saturday or Sunday, if you want to go and take a look at the model houses. We could also grab a bite to eat somewhere, if you had time. Let me know.
Patricia
Hi Pat,
How are you feeling? It was too bad that you couldn’t make it on Sunday. Jerry and I went up to Lookout Mountain on Sunday. That place is amazing. We really liked the views, but we were a little concerned about the location. The buses don’t go up to Lookout Mountain so there would be no bus service. And that would make it difficult for Emily and Todd to get to school each morning. But the prices were reasonable and the views were great. So, we’re not sure what to do. Anyways, we thank you for letting us know about this.
Take care and will talk to you soon. We hope you’ll feel better soon.
Teresa

One of San Francisco’s largest properties has been sold. The property was a large piece of natural forest land that was owned by Winston Merrill, who died two years ago. Merrill had originally purchased the land back in 1962. However, Merrill’s sons did not want to develop the land, so they put it up for sale last month.
The land covers 46 acres and is directly beside the Glen Canyon Park in Central San Francisco. Many had hoped that the land would be bought by the city and added to the park, but budget cuts made the purchase impossible, according
to San Francisco Mayor William Mason.
The buyer of the land is Mr. Chun Li Wang, of Singapore. Mr. Wang is one of the largest property developers in Singapore. He is a major stockholder in the Bank of South Asia. The price that he paid for the land has not been announced, but experts valued the land at upwards of 400 million dollars. Wang’s representatives refused to say how much he paid or what Wang’s plans were for the property. Many suspect it will be developed into luxury apartments, as that has been Wang’s primary business strategy in Asia.

Dear Mr. Morehouse,
My name is Charlie Betts and I need your help.
Several years ago, I bought a nice house down by Indian Lake, here in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. I had a good job at the oil refinery, and the guy at the bank made it real easy to buy it, even though it was kind of expensive. Then I got in a car accident and hurt my back. The guy that hit me didn’t have insurance, so even though the judge ruled that the accident was his fault, and he should pay me, I didn’t get any money for it.
Anyway, I got fired from my job, because I was out of work for so long, and I had a lot of medical bills. I ended up not being able to pay any of my bills for a while. The credit card companies are all calling me every day, telling me I’ve got to pay them, and now the bank says they’re going to take my house.
I don’t want to lose my house. I’ve got three kids and they’ve got a nice big yard to play in with the dogs. I don’t know what to do. Can you help me?
Charlie Betts

Dear Sirs,
I have been to your restaurant many times before. I often come to your restaurant by myself for lunch, because your food is good and your prices are quite reasonable.
Last week, two of my friends and I came to your restaurant for dinner. -[ 1 ]- . After dinner, I asked the server for a bottle of your original salad dressing to take home. When she came back with the bottle, she told me that she had accidentally charged my credit card twice for dinner. She apologized, and said that the problem had been fixed. -[ 2 ]- .
However, today I received my credit card statement, and was surprised to find that I have been charged three times. -[ 3 ]- . I would appreciate it if you could please check your records on July 24th for the $54.92. You’ll see that it’s been charged three times.
I’m sure this was just an error. It looks like she added the charge instead of subtracting. I would appreciate it if you could either credit me for 109.84 or give me a credit towards future purchases. -[ 4 ]- . My wife loves your salad dressing.
If you could give me a call at 555-4421-9020, I’d be most grateful.
Dylan Suzuki

Listening FourOver the last ten years, the production of beer has decreased. While, at the same time, the production of wine has increased. Beer sales have fallen by 28% while wine sales have increased by 17%. The market has changed because younger people are more interested in their health. They are more interested in cooking and care more about what they eat. So more young people are choosing to drink wine with their meals. In addition, the price of wine has decreased, while its quality and taste have improved. So this is good news for wine makers and bad
news for beer manufacturers.

Listening TwoWe are having a problem with students using the computers in the faculty lounge. These computers are strictly meant for professors and their assistants.

From now on, only teachers and their teaching assistants will be allowed into the faculty lounge. Students will no longer be allowed to use the facilities.
Listening ThreeStarting next week, we are going to change to a more open design in the office. We will be removing some of the walls. We will all work in a single open space and sit at large shared desks. We hope that this will lead to a friendlier atmosphere in the workplace and help people to work together and share information. As a side benefit, it will also solve another problem by making it more difficult for workers to surf the web and otherwise waste time with the eyes of their colleagues always on them.
Listening FourOffice Suites are groups of computer programs that are typically used by people working in an office. Many years ago most office suites had programs for word processing, spreadsheets and simple databases. Recently, most office suites now include software for presentations and also page design. Also, more people are using online, or web-based office suites. Sales for web-based office suites have been increasing dramatically, while sales for computer
based office suites that you need to install on your computer have been decreasing slightly. Web-based office suites allow users to use these programs with their cell phones or tablets, which makes it much easier to share and move files.

Track 39Listening OneMay I have your attention? I’ve been looking over the office supply costs for last year. Did you know we bought almost six thousand ballpoint pens last year?

Also, make sure that you write the date and the time that you received it. Next, when you enter the invoice information in the computer system, it will give you a payment number. So write that payment number on the invoice too. Finally, put the invoice in the vendor’s account file in the file cabinet. If the invoice comes in by email, print it out and write down the information just like any other invoice.

Track 49Listening OneWelcome to the Courtland Apartments. Let me tell you a little bit about the building. This building was originally the Courtland Hotel. The hotel was built in 1926 and it was one of the most beautiful hotels in Canada. In fact, when King George the sixth of England visited in 1939, he stayed here for a week. In 1998, the hotel was closed and for six years, it sat empty. Then in 2004, the property was purchased by Morris Fairchild, who spent eight years remodeling the entire building. The hotel’s thirty-six rooms were changed into fourteen apartments. And we’ve already sold more than half of the units.
Listening TwoI’d like to thank you all for coming today. My Name is Pat McCormick and I’m the head of safety here at Citigas. Gas leaks are very dangerous. Last year, you may remember, an entire apartment building blew up after a gas leak. Luckily, the building was still under construction, so no one was hurt. Gas leaks are often caused by people digging holes with heavy equipment and breaking the gas pipes. This should never happen. Before you dig, do some research. We have a map of all the gas lines all over the city on our website at Citigas.com. You can also call us at 416-830-8858.
Listening ThreeMost people have large, heavy locks on their doors, but most thieves do not break into a house through the door. Most thieves break into houses through a window. All
they have to do is break the glass, reach in and unlock the window. However, the Guard Dog Alarm System is designed for windows. The Guard Dog’s alarm sensors are built into the window frame. The alarm can’t be seen from the outside. But, if a window is broken, a silent alarm will go off and a message will be sent to the police. Install the Guard Dog Alarm System and you’ll never have to worry about burglars again.

People with less than $100,000 dollars currently in their accounts will be grouped into one bank, and people with deposits above $100,000 dollars will be grouped into the other bank. A detailed schedule will be announced shortly for when people can withdraw their money, and in what amounts. Foreign customers might be forced to wait three months before any money can be withdrawn.
