What Is Toeie?
TOEIC, which stands for Test of English for International Communication, measures English
proficiency in a work-related environment at advanced and intermediate levels. It is designed
to give an accurate measurement of the English capabilities of people who do not use English
as their mother tongue. Each year there are 4 million people from more than 60 countries
taking the test for various purposes, from seeking jobs to getting promotions.
TOEIC Test Areas

As TOEIC measures the candidate's proficiency in the workplace and everyday communication, the
test questions are based on real-life work settings in an international environment (meetings,
travel, telephone conversations, etc).
TOBIC test questions include various settings and situations,
such as:
(1) Corporate Development: research, product development

(2) Dining Out: business and informal lunches, banquet, receptions
(3) Entertainment: cinema, theater, music, art, exhibition, museum, media
(4) Finance and Budgeting: banking, investment, taxes, accounting
(5) General Business: contract, negotiation, mergers, marketing, sales, warranties, business
planning, conference, labor relation
(6) Health: medical insurance, visiting doctors, dentist, clinics
(7) Housing/Corporate
Property: construction, specification, buying and renting, electric and
gas services
(8) Office: board meeting, committee, letters, telephone, fax, e-mail, office equipment
(9) Personnel: recruiting, hiring, retiring, salaries, promotion, job application
(10) Purchasing: shopping, ordering, supplies, shipping, invoice
(11) Travel: trains, airplanes, taxis, ferries, car rental, technical areas
To ensure that the test measures what it is supposed to in a fair, valid and reliable way, these
characteristics are common of the test items:
Vocabulary, grammar and idioms are not specifically American English.
Culture-specific and job/profession-specific situations are avoided.
Names from different countries are included.
Different English accents are used throughout the test - mainly American, British,
Canadian and Australian accents.

Questions about How an Action Is / Was Done
Question Patterns
These questions ask you about how an action is / was performed in the conversation. To find
the correct answer, read the question carefully before listening to the conversation. Keep in
mind that the correct answer choice may be paraphrased from the original expressions in the
conversation, while the wrong choices often contain some exact words or expressions that you
have heard in the conversation. This is to test whether you understand the conversation as a
whole; therefore, it is important to practice listening to different statements that have the
same meaning.
How did the man find his place?
How did the man find his job?
How will the man get to the meeting?
How will the man receive the report?

Subject:
Dear Mr. Venys,

I am writing this letter as a reminder that I moved my office from the fourth floor to
the fifth floor last month. I have switched offices with Cynthia Parks. I believe that I
previously sent a letter telling you of this change.
However, I continue to receive numerous mail and correspondence in my office that
is addressed to Mrs. Parks. The large amount of mail that I receive daily is eating
into my time and making me frustrated. In addition, I have not received any mail that
is addressed to me although I usually receive a few letters every week.
I ask that you please fix this problem as soon as possible and collect Mrs. Parks'
mail for proper delivery to her new office. In addition, please send any mail intended
for me to my office.
Thank you for your time and assistance.

Dear Mr. Smithy,
After carefully reviewing the receipt for my most recent grocery purchases at your market,
I found an error. It seems that I was charged for two bags of potato chips although I

because I was leaving for a vacation that same day. I will be on vacation for the next month,

I believe this was a simple and honest error by the cashier. I have been a customer of

We ordered and received our sofa yesterday, and we are very satisfied. The sofa's fabric
quality and style are excellent. We would also like to order the matching side table. Because
our apartment is so small, we can only order one side table, but the side tables are sold only
in pairs. We would like to know if it is possible to purchase only one side table. The sofa
and tables are on page 97 of your catalogue.
We hope that you can accommodate our request. We are very pleased with your service and
hope to purchase more furniture from your store in the future.
