After studying the TOEIC tips unit 8 at the outer columns of the text, take the mini-test B on page 47 problems 1~8, while keeping in mind the directions and the strategies used for understanding photos for the TOEIC Test provided. We will try the test again in class on June 21st, by using photo clues to choose the correct sentences.
