Then, at your table group you enthusiastically participated in the 30-second Talks game published by Scholastic Inc. in the Timesaver Speaking Activities book. It was interesting to hear you 30-second opinions in English. After that, you studied the vocabulary for unit 12, which is part 5 of the TOIEC test.

TOEIC  TEST  Tips Part 6 (by Grant Trew):

  • Choose the correct verb form
  • Sometimes the sentence is not enough information to choose the correct answer. In that case read the rest of the text to find your answer.
  • Learn suffixes to help you identify the adjectives and adverbs
  • Understand the use of comparatives and superlative form of adjectives.
2. Take one page or more of detailed notes on your AnyRead!  you chose in class by getting ideas from note-taking samples provided in class.
