แบบฝึกการฟังและการอ่าน TOEIC

This question tests listening for a change of instruction. The announcement states that the employee entrance is closed and directs staff to the lobby entrance during the repair window. The key detail is the new location, not the original entrance.

This question tests careful listening for numbers and letters. The address is 2147 Maple Avenue, Suite 9B, so the digits and the suite letter must match exactly. Similar-looking options like 2174 and 9D are traps.

This question tests numbers in a billing context. 'One thousand two hundred fifty' is $1,250, so listen carefully to the order of the hundreds and tens. Options that change the final digits are common distractors.

The manager uses 'but' to signal a shift from appreciation to a concern. The phrase 'focus on the budget first' means the budget must be reviewed before a decision about the proposal. This question tests understanding of speaker priority.

This question tests recognizing sequence markers in a spoken list. The speaker numbers the points, and Point 3 is the new product launch. Taking short headings while listening helps you keep the order straight.

The message gives a short extension number, 431, which should be copied exactly. Similar options reorder the digits or add an extra digit, so write numbers as soon as you hear them.

The main requirement in the notice is submitting the enrollment form by Friday. Other options introduce details that are not stated. In TOEIC reading, identify the action and the deadline in the sentence.

To find the end time, add 45 minutes to 2:30, which gives 3:15. Time questions often require simple addition, so keep track of the start time and the stated duration.

The word 'before' tells you that the first step is attaching the safety guard. Pressing the green button comes after that step. Sequence words are essential for understanding instructions.

The second sentence gives the result of the request, so 'therefore' connects the cause and the effect. 'However' and 'although' signal contrast, which does not fit the meaning.

An 'overview' is a broad summary of a topic rather than a complete document. The adjective 'brief' supports the idea of a short general explanation. Recognizing common workplace nouns helps you infer meaning.

From 9:00 to 11:30 is two hours and thirty minutes. Calculate the difference between the start and end times, and check that you are comparing the same day.

The colleague expresses a wish to help but explains that her schedule is full until 4:00. 'Back-to-back calls' means calls or meetings that follow one another without a break. The overall meaning is temporary unavailability.

The manager is describing what to check when an order arrives, so 'incoming order inspection' is the correct heading. The three items are all part of that one checklist. Matching spoken details to a heading is a key note-taking skill.

'RE:' in an email subject means the message concerns that topic or is a reply in an existing thread. Recognizing common email abbreviations helps you understand the purpose before reading the full message.

Multiply 12 units by $25 to get $300. Invoice questions often require a simple calculation, so read the unit price and quantity carefully.

The receptionist gives the floor before the room number, and Room 410 is on the fourth floor. Listen for location words and match the floor to the room number.

The supervisor approves the draft but adds a condition: the figures must be checked first. 'Double-check' means to verify carefully, so sending immediately would ignore the request.

Purpose questions require an overall understanding, so skimming for the main idea is efficient. Detailed word-by-word reading can waste time in the timed reading section. This question tests general test strategy.

'Silence your phones' means set them to a silent mode so they do not make noise. The notice is about behavior during the presentation, not about leaving the room or using the phone.

The manager gives the reason for the change, then states the new date. 'Moved to June 10' means the training will take place on June 10. Listen for the date that follows 'moved to' rather than the original date.

A 10% discount reduces $860 by $86, leaving $774. First calculate 10% of the total, then subtract it. Percentage questions in TOEIC usually give the original amount and the rate.

The client thanks the company for the revised quote, which is positive, but 'although' introduces a concern about delivery. The combination of appreciation and a remaining issue means the attitude is positive but cautious.

Orders placed after 3 p.m. Friday will not ship until Tuesday, so placing the order earlier avoids the delay. The sentence gives a clear cutoff time. In TOEIC reading, note the condition and its consequence.

The second sentence adds another benefit of the software, so 'in addition' is correct. 'However' would signal contrast, and 'therefore' would signal a result. Cohesion questions ask you to choose the logical connector.

From 7:40 to 10:25 is 2 hours and 45 minutes. You can add 20 minutes to reach 8:00, then 2 hours to reach 10:00, then 25 minutes to reach 10:25. Careful time arithmetic is a common TOEIC listening skill.

The announcement separates the requirement by employment status: new employees complete the module before their first shift, while returning employees take the yearly review. The question asks specifically about the online module, so the answer is new employees.

The sentence sets a condition: confirmation by noon leads to shipping today, while no confirmation means Monday. The word 'if' shows that the outcome depends on the client's response.

The speaker gives a clear order: actual sales, projected sales, then the difference. The word 'finally' marks the difference as the last item. Following sequence markers helps you organize notes as you listen.

The notice states that the cafeteria is closed and the food cart is available in the lobby. The question asks where food can be obtained during the renovation, so the lobby cart is the correct location.

A 'preliminary' recommendation is an early or tentative one that comes before the final decision. The word is common in workplace writing when a first result is expected. Infer the meaning from the context of a review process.

The invitation gives the meeting window as 10:00 to 11:30, so the end time is 11:30. The room number and the start time are extra details that are not asked for.

The manager recognizes positive results but sets a condition: one more market test before full approval. 'Not comfortable approving until' means approval is postponed, not refused. This is a common way to signal conditional agreement.

The note defines two stages: payment within 30 days is on time, and after that a 2% late fee applies. The correct answer restates the consequence of paying late.

The corrected version is the result of the problem with the first report, so 'consequently' connects cause and effect. 'Meanwhile' would describe simultaneous events, which is not the meaning here.

The message asks the caller to leave a number and the best time to call back. The caller should follow those instructions instead of calling at a different time. Listening for direct requests is a key TOEIC skill.

From 9:18 to 10:02 is 44 minutes: 42 minutes to reach 10:00 plus 2 more minutes. Keep the departure and arrival times separate when calculating travel duration.

Unfamiliar words can often be understood from clues in the same sentence or nearby sentences. Skipping or stopping would cost time and hurt comprehension. This question tests general reading strategy.

The deadline is stated directly: by the end of this week. Wednesday is only the day the reminder will be sent, not the deadline. Distinguish deadlines from other mentioned dates.

The client states a condition for accepting the price: installation and training must be included. The request is for a revised offer with those services, not simply a cheaper price. Conditional language often signals the requested change.

The announcement gives the old room, then the new room, and the reason for the change. 'Moved from Room 210 to Room 315' means the meeting is now in Room 315. Focus on the room after 'moved to'.

Multiply 40 boxes by 6 units per box to get 240 units. The part number and box count are extra details; the question asks for the total number of units.

'Sufficient capacity' means the vendor has enough resources, staff, or production ability to complete the order. The phrase is common in supply and vendor reports. Infer the meaning from the positive context.

The second sentence describes an unusual event that contrasts with the usual practice, so 'however' is correct. 'Therefore' would indicate a result, and 'for example' would give an example. Cohesion questions require matching the connector to the logical relationship.

The message routes technical support calls to option 2, and a broken printer is a technical problem. The billing option is for payments and invoices. Listen for the service category before choosing the menu number.

The notice sets a special rule for contractors arriving after 5 p.m.: they should use the side entrance. The contractor arrives at 6 p.m., so that rule applies. Apply the stated condition to the person's arrival time.

The first 5 users cost $1,200, and 4 additional users cost $180 each, or $720. Add $1,200 and $720 to get $1,920. Break the calculation into the fixed portion and the per-user portion.

The supervisor corrects a possible misunderstanding and then states the real point: clearer milestones are needed first. The phrase 'before we invest more time' shows that work should not continue in the current form. Listen for the statement after the correction.

The speaker gives the agenda in order: warranty, pricing, international shipping, and partnership agreement. 'Then' marks international shipping as the topic after pricing. Follow the sequence words to place each item.

The booking was made before March 1 through the travel portal, so the free cancellation rule applies. The 'otherwise' clause only covers bookings that do not meet that condition. Match the booking details to the correct rule.

The rejected delivery is the consequence of the damaged packaging, so 'as a result' is correct. 'In contrast' would signal an opposite idea. Choose a connector that matches the cause-and-effect relationship.

A fiscal quarter is a three-month period used in accounting and budgeting, such as Q1 through Q4. Companies often time policy changes to the start of a quarter. Workplace vocabulary like this frequently appears in TOEIC announcements.

The message mentions the number of rooms, the rate, and the check-in time, but it does not mention breakfast. Negative questions ask which detail is missing, so compare each option against the message carefully.

Add the three carton weights: 24 + 31 + 28 = 83 kg. Similar totals are common distractors, so align the numbers and add carefully.

'In principle' means the manager agrees with the general idea, while 'but' introduces the objection to the timeline. The manager is not rejecting the idea itself. Recognize the contrast between agreement and a specific concern.

The notice says visitors must be accompanied by a manager at all times, so a visitor cannot enter alone even with an access card. The employee rule and the visitor rule are different. Read the subject of each sentence to see who each rule applies to.

The announcement gives two clear instructions: use the north stairs and gather in the parking lot. Using elevators and remaining at desks would be unsafe during a drill. Multiple-choice questions in TOEIC may have two correct details from the same passage.

The email states the opening time as 8:30 and the closing time as 5:30. The lunch break is one hour, not 30 minutes, and the opening time is not 9:00. Check every option against the exact numbers in the message.

The trainer names three preparation tasks: prepare receipts, update the client list, and label the files. Booking a room and ordering computers are not mentioned. When a question asks for two correct details, match each option to the spoken list.

The message clearly states that the package covers two nights of lodging and three meals per day. The incorrect options reverse the numbers or deny the meals. Multiple-choice questions often test exact quantities.

The colleague identifies two specific problems: weak evidence in the conclusion and difficult charts. Removing the charts or shortening the report are not requested. Note each concern separately when more than one issue is raised.

The notice says the lobby entrance is closed from 7 to 9 and directs people to the east entrance during that time. The cafe opens at 8:30, not 9:00, and the lobby is closed at 8:00. Compare each statement with the exact times.

The sentence contains two facts connected by 'but': the price went down and delivery time went up. 'Reduced' means decreased, and 'increased' means longer. Paraphrase questions ask you to restate the same information in different words.

The first sentence rejects the terms in their current form, while 'however' introduces openness to negotiation with one condition. The client is not accepting the terms and is not ending contact. Identify the contrast and the condition to find both correct statements.

The spoken deadline gives the month and day, and the note already contains the day. The missing word is the month, May. Fill-in questions require exact spelling of the heard word.

Eleven forty-five is 11:45, so the minutes are 45. The hour is already written in the note. Listen for the minutes after the hour in time expressions.

The instruction asks the reader to complete the attached form and return it. 'Complete' means fill in or finish the form. The spelling must match the word used in the instruction.

A draft copy is an early version sent for review before the final version. The word is spelled d-r-a-f-t. Hearing the missing word exactly is the key to fill-in items.

The manager corrects the scheduled time to 9:00. The note asks for the exact time, including the colon between the hour and minutes. Write the corrected time rather than the time the manager rejects.

Divide the total units by the units per carton: 150 divided by 25 equals 6 cartons. The shipment number is extra information and does not affect the calculation. Fill-in questions may require a simple calculation.

The word 'instead' shows that the logistics team offered an alternative to the refund. It connects the two options and begins the second sentence. Capitalize the word exactly as it appears in the sentence.

The notice gives the pool hours as 6:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., so the closing time is 10:00 p.m. Copy the time and the a.m. or p.m. marker exactly. Reading notices carefully helps you avoid confusing opening and closing hours.

Ms. Ito asks the caller to confirm the hotel reservation, Mr. Silva asks for the invoice by email, Ms. Kim asks the caller to leave a message, and Mr. Novak asks for a callback after 3:00. Match each request to the speaker who makes it. Each task is used once.

The menu assigns numbers to departments in this order: technical support is 1, billing is 2, human resources is 3, and shipping is 4. Match each row to the number stated for that department. Each menu number is used once.

The schedule connects each project to one time: Alpha at 10:30, Beta at 3:15, Gamma at 9:00, and Delta at 1:00. Keep the project names and times paired as you hear them. Each time is used once.

Each staff member is linked to one responsibility in the supervisor's description. Ms. Grant handles complaints, Mr. Patel manages payroll, Ms. Ross orders supplies, and Mr. Ito schedules meetings. Matching questions often test names and job duties.

An updated schedule confirms a new timetable, an invoice requests payment, server maintenance announces downtime, and a reminder announces a required course. Use the subject keywords to infer each email's purpose. Each purpose is used once.

The itinerary links each day to one activity: Monday is sightseeing, Tuesday is the Tokyo meeting, Wednesday is the Osaka factory tour, and Thursday is the return flight. Read each day and its activity together before matching.

The catalog pairs each model with one feature: Model A has the battery life, Model B connects to Wi-Fi, Model C includes the waterproof case, and Model D includes the carrying case. Match the product name to the feature that follows it.

The speakers' opinions are stated directly: Speaker 1 strongly supports, Speaker 2 supports with conditions, Speaker 3 opposes, and Speaker 4 is undecided. Read or listen for the opinion word attached to each speaker. Each opinion is used once.
