What
The
TOEle
(Test of English for International Communication) test measures the English proficiency of people working
in
international business or planning to use English to communicate
with
Although
the test does not
test specialized vocabulary, the items on the exam are in specialized contexts.
This book
will
provide you with a basis to understand these specialized contexts that are often used on the
TOEle
test.
Each chapter covers a particular context that has appeared on the
TOEle
test. The new words taught in each chapter
are not specialized words. These words are more what is called general vocabulary.They can be used in many contexts.
However, these new words are used in a specialized context. Understanding these contexts and the words used in
these contexts will help you improve your score on the

TOEle
exam.
How
to U
se
Book
This book could also be titled 50 Days to a More Powerful Vocabulary. There are 50 lessons. Every day, you can
study
one lesson. Every day you can learn 12 new words. In 50 days, you can learn 600 new
words-words
that will help
you understand English better. And the better you understand English, the higher your TOEIC score will be.
You can sit down and in 30 minutes finish a
lesson. But that is not the best way.To learn a new word, you
must
use it
over and over. Try to spread your studying out over the whole day. Do a little bit whenever you have some free time.
The 12 new words are used over and over and over in this lesson. Studying these words throughout
the
day will
help
you learn them and never forget them.
Start in the morning and look over the 12 new words and their definitions. Repeat them out loud. During the morning,
read over the conversations. If you can,
say
the conversations out loud. The more ways you use a word (listening,
speaking, reading, and writing), the better the chance you will remember it.
In the afternoon, do the exercises. In the evening, do the very last exercise. The last exercise is like a mini-test. It will
tell you if you completely understood the meaning of the word and how to use it in a sentence.
Every day, do another lesson. At the end of the week, do the Word Review. I am sure you will answer every question

correctly.
Most of the new words you learn in one lesson will be used again in another lesson. We recycle words just as we recycle
paper. If you forget a meaning of a word, look up the word in the Word Index at the back of the book. That
will
tell you in
which lesson you can find a definition and the pronunciation.
Strategies to I
mproveYour
The English language consists of more than 250,000 words, far more than most other
languages-far
more than we
can include in this book. Here are some strategies that
will
help you remember words that you come across either in
this book or in English books or magazines.
To learn a new word, of course, you first have to run across it. Therefore, you must read in English as much as you
can. The best way to improve your vocabulary is to read routinely. The more you read, the more words you will
encounter. The more words you run across, the more you
will
learn.
Once you have gotten into the habit of reading, you can systematically build your vocabulary by doing five things:
1. Analyze word parts.
2. Recognize grammatical forms.
3. Recognize word families.
4. Make your own personal dictionary.
5. Keep a
daily
reading log.
