Tài liệu Toeic 1

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. There are three sections in this textbook. Section 1 consists of 3 parts focusing on listening strategies frequently found in the TOEIC test. Section 2 is designed to assist students to familiarize themselves with the fundamental grammar structures and vocabulary commonly used in the TOEIC test. Finally, a wide range of speaking practice activities is available in Section 3 to provide students with good preparation for the improvement of their speaking abilities. In selecting the materials for this textbook, the compilers set before themselves a modest goal. They were guided by the desire to help students, within the framework of the textbook, get acquainted with the format of the new TOEIC test. Upon completion of this textbook, students are able to achieve a scale from 200 to 250 points of the TOEIC test. 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 [email protected]. i TABLE OF CONTENTS Page FOREWORD
