Your responses to the Questionnaire enable your organization to learn more about the backgrounds of people who take the test and some of the factors that affect TOEIC scores and improvement in English. Your responses to the Questionnaire are kept confidential and do not in any way affect your TOEIC scores. We encourage you to answer all of the questions.

　　TOEIC -- Test of English for International Communication

　　GENERAL DIRECTIONS

　　This is a test of your ability to use the English language. The total time for the test is approximately two hours. It is divided into seven parts. Each part of the test begins with a set of specific directions. Be sure you understand what you are to do before you begin work on a part.

　　You will find that some of the questions are harder than others, but you should try to answer each question to the best of your ability. Your score will be based on the number of questions you answer correctly.

　　Do not mark your answers in this test book. You must put all of your answers on the separate answer sheet that you have been given. When putting your answer to a question on your answer sheet, be sure to fill in the answer space corresponding to the letter of your choice. Fill in the space so that the letter inside the circle cannot be seen, as shown in the example on the following page.

　　EXAMPLE Mr. Jones _____ to his accountant yesterday.

　　(A) talk

　　(B) talking

　　(C) talked

　　(D) to talk

　　Sample Answer (A) (B) (C) (D)

　　The sentence should read, Mr. Jones talked to his accountant yesterday. Therefore, you should choose answer (C). Notice how this has been done in the example above.

　　Mark only one answer for each question. If you change your mind about an answer after you have marked it on your answer sheet, completely erase your old answer and then mark your new answer. You must mark the answer sheet carefully so that the test-scoring machine can accurately record your test score.

　　Section 1: Listening Comprehension

　　In this section of the test, you will have the chance to show how well you understand spoken English. There are four parts to this section, with special directions for each part.

　　PART I: PHOTOGRAPHS

　　Directions: For each question, you will see a picture in your test book and you will hear four short statements. The statements will be spoken just one time. They will not be printed in your test book, so you must listen carefully to understand what the speaker says.

　　When you hear the four statements, look at the picture in your test book and choose the statement that best describes what you see in the picture. Then, on your answer sheet find the number of the question and mark your answer. Look at the sample on the next page.

　　EXAMPLE

　　Now listen to the four statements.

　　You will hear:

　　(A) Theyre looking out of the window.

　　(B) Theyre having a meeting.

　　(C) Theyre eating in a restaurant.

　　(D) Theyre moving the furniture.

　　Sample Answer (A) (B) (C) (D)

　　Statement (B), Theyre having a meeting, best describes what you see in the picture. Therefore, you should choose answer (B).

　　PART II: QUESTION-RESPONSE

　　Directions: In this part of the test, you will hear a question or statement spoken in English, followed by three responses, also spoken in English. The question or statement and the responses will be spoken just one time. They will not be printed in your test book, so you must listen carefully to understand what the speakers say. You are to choose the best response to each question or statement.

　　Example Now listen to a sample question.

　　You will hear: Good morning, John. How are you?

　　You will also hear:

　　(A) I am fine, thank you.

　　(B) I am in the living room.

　　(C) My name is John.

　　Sample Answer (A) (B) (C)

　　The best response to the question How are you? is choice (A), I am fine, thank you. Therefore, you should choose answer (A).

　　PART III: SHORT CONVERSATIONS

　　Directions: In this part of the test, you will hear short conversations between two people. The conversations will not be printed in your test book. You will hear the conversations only once, so you must listen carefully to understand what the speakers say.

　　In your test book, you will read a question about each conversation. The question will be followed by four answers. You are to choose the best answer to each question and mark it on your answer sheet.
