2 TOEIC Test: Day 1 Before continuing Give me 3 stapled packets: • pp. 262~278 • pp. 279~305 • p. 335 15 TOEIC Test: Listening Comprehension Guide to Listening Comprehension The first section of the TOEIC® Test is Listening Comprehension. It has four separate parts, and each part has different directions: Part I: Sentences About Photographs Part II: Questions/Responses Part III: Short Conversations Part IV: Short Talks 10 items 30 items 30 items 30 items 2 TOEIC Test: Listening Comprehension Guide to Listening Comprehension The Listening Comprehension section tests your ability to understand spoken English. Part I also tests your ability to understand photographs. In addition, Part III and Part IV test your ability to read and understand questions and answer choices. Only Part II is a “pure” test of listening because there is nothing to look at or read. It is important that you focus (pay attention) carefully in this section of the test. You need to focus on the voices on the CD or tape, and on the test booklet (except in Part II). If you don’t pay close attention, you will make mistakes. Especially in Parts I and II, you need to listen carefully to every word. 15 2 TOEIC Test: Lesson 1 Sentences about Photographs Introduction to Part I This part of the test has 10 items. For each item, there is a photograph in the test book. You hear a person speak four different sentences—(A), (B), (C), and (D)—about the photograph. You must choose the sentence that is the best description of the photograph. The sentences are short and grammatically simple. 15 2 TOEIC Test: Lesson 1 15 Sentences about Photographs Tips for Part I 1. Look at the photographs as the sentences are read. 2. Answer each question as soon as you have heard the four sentences. Remember, you have only five seconds between items. 3. If you don’t know the correct answer, guess and quickly go on to the next photograph. Don’t keep looking at or thinking about the previous photograph. 4. As soon as you finish one item, preview the next photograph. Don’t wait for the speaker on the audio program to tell you to look at the next photograph. Try to get the “main idea” of the photograph. 5. Always answer each item before you go on to the next one. 2 TOEIC Test: Lesson 1 15 Sentences about Photographs *Special Tips for Marking Your Answer Sheet in Part 1* 1.
