whose native language is not English. TOEIC test scores indicate
how well people can communicate in English with others in the

used in everyday activities.

How TO USE THIS BOOK

At the beginning of the hook, you will find a table of contents that acts as an outline of the lessons in 3 0

Day 1 : Get to Know the
Dai/s T O T H E T O E I C T E S T . The 30 lessons follow the sequence of the different question types as
they appear in the TOEIC test Days 2 to 14 give tips, strategies, practice activities, and practice questions for the
Listening Comprehension section of the test. Days 15 to 24 deal with the Reading section. Days 25 to 29 give you the
opportunity to prarnre questions from both sections. Day 30 gives some general bps that relate to the whole test.

29.
You can work through all the units in the order they appear, which mirrors the order of the actual test.
30.

Alternatively, you can think about which types of questions you found most
difficult when you tried the sample questions, and start by working on those
first. For example, some people find listening comprehension harder than
answering questions based on written material. If that is the case, you may
want to spend more time working on Days 2 to 14. If you found one particular
type of question in the Listening Comprehension seebon very difficult, the
Question-Response type, for example, you might turn to Day 5 first, and work
through Days 5, 6, and 7.


31.
32.
You may want to go straight to thy set of
practice questions for a particular type of question, see
how you do on those, and then decide whether to
work through the tips, strategies, and practice
activities for that type of question. For example, if you
want to work on Error Recognition questions, you will
find a set of practice Error Recognition questions on
Day 20. You can then go back to Days 18 and If to do
more work on Error Recognition questions if you leel
you need to

SECTION OVERVIEW
58.

59.
The Listening Comprehension section
consists of questions 1-100 of the TOEIC test It is
divided into four parts:
60.

Part I: Photographs

61.

Part 11: Question-Response

62.

Part 111: Short Conversations

63.

Part IV: Short Talks

64.

In the Listening Comprehension section, you
will hear an audio recording for each of the parts of the
section You will listen to a variety of statements,
questions, short conversations, and short talks
recorded in English, then you will answer the questions
For Parts I and II, you will hear inly a recording. For
Parts III and IV, you will also see questions and op
turns written in your test book In order to answer the
questions in this section, you will use your ability to
listen in English: for particular sounds, for details, and
for the overall meaning of a statement or question. You
will have about 45 minutes to complete the Listening
Comprehension section of the test.
65.
Today's lesson starts with a tip to help you
improve your listening skills in general and to help you
select the correct answer in the l istening
Comprehension section of the lest.

TIP Pay attention to words that
are stressed.
66.

67.
In spoken English, certain words in a
sentence are stressed. That is. some words in a spoken
sentence are pronounced more loudly, or with more
emphasis, than other words. These an? the words that

the speaker thinks are important. Paying attention to
the stressed words in speech can help you identify the
main ideas. The stressed words are usually the words
that give clues to meaning, such as nouns, verbs, and
adjectives. Other words in a sentence are pronounced

with little or no distinction. Very often, these are words
that contain less information hut contribute to the
grammar of the sentence, such as the articles A and
T H E , pronouns, prepositions, conjunctions. and
auxiliary verbs.

73. In spoken English, the sentence above would
most likely be stressed in four places: on the nouns

TA L K I N G . The underlines indicate the
syllables that are stressed when the sentence is spoken.
74. The doctor and a

nurse are talking with

75. The words that have little or no stress are the
articles T H E and A , the conjunction A N J , the
auxiliary verb A R E . and the preposition
W I T H . If you hear only the stressed words in this
sentence, you can probably still understand what the
sentence is about. The stressed words give you the
main ideas.

89. EXERCISE
A:

IDENTIFYING STRESS

90. On the recording, you will hear twelve
sentences. The sentences are printed below. Read each
sentence as you are listening to it, and underline the
stressed words, or most important information. Each
sentence will be read only once, as in the TOEIC test.
They are typical of sentences you might hear on the
recording for the Listening Comprehension section of
the lest. You will find the answers at the end of Day 2.
If you find the exercise difficult, play the recording
again while you are looking at the answers.
91.
T O T H E T EA C H E R : Start
by giving some examples of simple statements in
which the stress patterns can be easily identified.
Write the sentences down and ask the students to
identify the stressed words. Practice saying the
sentences together, clapping your hands on each
stressed syllable. Then play the recording, without
stopping it, and ask the students to underline the
stressed words. At the end of the recording,

arrange the students in pairs and ask them to
practice saying each sentence aloud together with
the stress pattern heard on the tape.

Example 2

77. In this short passage, the words that convey
grammatical information have been left out. These arc
the words that would not be stressed if the passage
were spoken. The remaining words are those that
convey content information. Read the passage through
once. You should find that you can understand the
main ideas of the passage even though the
grammatical words have been left out.

TIPS AND EXERCISES FOR
PART I:
PHOTOGRAPHS

95.
In the lesson for Day 1, you tried some
sample questions from Part I of the lest. This is the part
of the test in which you see photographs of actions,
objects, places, and people in your test book. On the
recording, you will hear a speaker make four
statements about each photograph. All four of the
choices may sound like correct descriptions of the
photograph, but only one describes accurately what
you can see in the photograph. The following are
important points to remember about this part:
96.
There are 20 questions in the Photographs
section.
97.
The four choices are not printed in the test
book. You will see only the photograph.
98.
You hear the recording only once. This is the
case throughout the Listening Comprehension section
of the test
99.
In the Photograph* section, there is a pause
of 5 seconds between questions on the recording.
24.

TIP Take a quick look at the
photograph before you hear the four
statements.
100.

101. Listening to spoken English is much easier
when you have some idea about what you are going to
hear. While you are waiting to hear the choices, look at
the photograph and think about it. Ask yourself these
questions about each picture:
102.
103. Where was it taken?
104. What is the main sub)ect?


105. What is happening1
Who arc the people?
106.

EXERCISE B: THINKING
ABOUT THE
PHOTOGRAPH

1There are four photographs below Look at
each one few 5 seconds and ask yourself these
questions
Where was it taken?
What is the main subject?
What is happening?
Who are the people?

about the two photographs on the following page Follow the
examples provided Some possible answers are printed in the

112.
T O T H E T EA C H E R : Encourage the
students to work together in pairs or small groups to
"brainstorm" on this practice exercise. The exercise can easily
be extended with other pictures cut front magazines,
brochures, or newspapers. This could be developed into a
"picture dictation" activity: students work together in groups
of three or four and together discuss and draw the picture
they are going to "dictate" to the rest of the class. One group
is selected to begin the activity. Each member of the group
