Very Easy TOEIC® Third Edition has been designed for beginning-level students of English
who are just beginning to start their study of the TOEIC® test. The goal of this book is to familiarize
students with the format of the test as well as grammar points and vocabulary commonly found on
the test. Very Easy TOEIC® Third Edition now includes the new question formats that were added
to the test in 2016.
Book 1 contains twelve units, one practice test, and support with transcripts.

Book 2 contains ten units, one practice test, and support with transcripts. Each unit in this
book contains a vocabulary section, a clear and concise grammar focus section, grammar exercises,
and a Mini Test. Book 1 is meant to give test-takers a general idea of the test, with random topics
presented in the mini tests. The focus in this book is on getting test-takers ready for the format of the
test. However, in Book 2, the most common ten themes are tested to help students narrow in on key
vocabulary they will encounter during the test, particularly the listening section. Students must now
consider themed vocabulary while also keeping in mind the format of the TOEIC® test.

Vocabulary
A. Listening: Students will learn and listen to the most commonly used words in both conversations
and single-speaker situations.
B. Reading: This section includes exercises that emphasize commonly mistaken homonyms, !t also
includes intermediate-level vocabulary to push students’ reading abilities.

Grammar Focus and Exercises .
This section outlines fundamental grammar points frequently tested on the TOEIC®. Each unit begins
with a brief explanation of the target grammar, including key points or hints that will help students
when dealing with the grammar points. The units also provide exercises based on the format of
TOEIC® grammar questions, allowing students to practice their understanding of the grammar point in
a natural, TOEIC®-style setting.

Mini Test
This section provides students with a mini test that incorporates the same types of questions found
on the latest format of the TOEIC® test. With this, students can not only review the grammar learned
in the Grammar Focus and Exercises section, but also become familiar with the kind of tasks they will
encounter on the TOEIC®.

Practice Test
The Practice Test provides students with an opportunity to take a full-length, lower-level version of
the TOEIC® test. It introduces students to the new TOEIC® format, with students having to answer 100

listening questions and 100 reading questions.

Very Easy TOEIC® Third Edition includes transcripts for all listening tasks in
each unit and in the practice test, and a blank sample answer sheet for use when taking the full-length
practice test.

TOEIC® stands for Test of English for International Communication. It is divided into two main
sections: Listening and Reading. The Listening section tests the ability to understand spoken English.
The Reading section tests the knowledge of grammar and vocabulary and the ability to read and
understand short passages.
The TOEIC® Listening and Reading test is a paper-and-pencil, multiple-choice assessment. There are
two timed sections of 100 questions each.
