TOEIC 3 Có Đáp Án ở cuối giáo trình

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.
The textbook of TOEIC 3 is intended for students who want to aim for a higher
TOEIC score range of 300 – 350 and equips them with fundamental knowledge as a
preparation step for TOEIC 4.
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. Furthermore, they carefully designed the book in order to meet
students’ demand to communicate in an international communication environment
through the four basic skills: Listening, Speaking, Reading, and Writing.
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 constructive feedbacks sent to the General English Department via

All Leisure Services Local Directors
Derek Gray, New Town Leisure Center Director
Tennis promotion
April 10th

We are trying to increase use of our tennis courts and facilities. At the moment, many
of our courts are hardly ever used. If we want to maintain government funding, we
need to show that there really is a demand for these facilities. I am planning on
displaying the following poster in every local leisure center. Before I send it to the
printers, could you take a look and give me your comments and suggestions? Do you
think anything should be changed or added?
Many thanks,

Derek Gray

TENNIS FOR ALL!
Tennis continues to be one of the most popular sports all over the world. One of the
main attractions of this sport is that it can be played by people of all ages, young and
old. Although tennis has a reputation for being an expensive sport, it doesn't have to
be. A good racket can cost only $40 and a can of balls only $2.00. But where to play?
Sure there are fancy private clubs that cost $100 a month, but why not try one of the
many public parks and leisure centers which offer tennis courts free of charge and
lessons for a very reasonable price? Contact your local leisure center director for
information on how you can get involved in this exciting sport!
