đề thi toeic part 2

FOREWORD
This textbook is compiled to meet the needs of students taking a TOEIC course
which forms part of the curricula at Lac Hong University.

In selecting the materials for this textbook, the compilers set before themselves a
modest goal. They were guided by the desire to provide the students, within the
framework of the textbook, the possibility of getting acquainted with the format of the
new TOEIC test.

We are aware of the deficiencies that remain in the textbook in spite of the
efforts to make it an efficient aid in the study of this TOEIC course. Needless to say,
the compilers will be greatly indebted for all criticism and corrections sent to Lac Hong
TOEIC Center via the following e-mail address .
