Beginner · foundation vocabulary / Part 5
1. Workplace words and clear sentences
Start with people, places, actions and times. Learn a word inside a useful phrase: confirm a booking, attend a meeting, submit a report. A subject normally comes before its verb. Adjectives describe nouns; adverbs often describe actions.
Worked example
The receptionist politely confirmed our booking. Receptionist is the person; confirmed is the past action; politely tells us how.
The report is due on Friday. Is Friday the deadline or the starting date?
Your task: Write four sentences about a workplace. Use receptionist, delivery, appointment and receipt. Underline the action in each sentence.
Guided-check answers
clearly — An adverb describes how the manager speaks.
take — Take a seat is the normal phrase.
deadline — Due tells us when the work must be submitted.
Independent-task example or review guide
The receptionist welcomed the visitors. Our delivery arrived this morning. I have an appointment at ten. Please keep your receipt.
Check relevance, factual accuracy, grammar and clarity. Revise your own answer. Natural alternatives may be correct.
Beginner · Part 1
2. Part 1: Describe what you can see
Look at the people, objects and actions before the audio begins. Separate an action from a state: a worker is opening a door; the door is open. Reject a statement if its main action or location is wrong. Do not invent a reason for the scene.
Worked example
For a visible person carrying a box, carrying is evidence. Saying that the person owns the company would be an unsupported guess.
E2 TOEIC · TOEIC Listening Part 1: Photographs — Practise & Tips with Mark
Which describes an action: The door is open / She is opening the door?
Can you safely infer someone’s job title only from ordinary clothing?
In a timed listening attempt, should you replay an uncertain item?
Your task: Open the credited Part 1 video. Pause before each answer, write A–D on paper, then check. Write one visible detail that supports each answer. This is guided practice; repeat audio only during review.
Guided-check answers
She is opening the door. — Opening describes an action in progress.
No — Clothing alone does not establish an exact job.
No — Keep moving; replay only during later study.
Independent-task example or review guide
A useful explanation names a visible action and object: The person is holding a box. Your letter answers depend on the video items.
Check relevance, factual accuracy, grammar and clarity. Revise your own answer. Natural alternatives may be correct.
Beginner · Part 2
3. Part 2: Hear the question and choose a reply
Listen for the whole question. Who asks about a person; where asks about a place; when asks about time. A sensible indirect reply can also be correct. Similar sounds do not guarantee matching meaning.
Worked example
Where is the meeting? In Room 3. When is the meeting? At three. These answers sound similar but give different information.
Success TOEIC · TOEIC Full listening test 2024 (answers + transcript) #2
When will the courier arrive? Choose: At noon / At reception.
Who approved the order? Choose: Yesterday / The supervisor.
Would you like a receipt? Choose: Yes, please / Last Thursday.
Your task: Give natural replies: Where can I collect my badge? Who is leading the tour? Could you send the file today? Say each question and answer aloud.
Guided-check answers
At noon — When asks for a time.
The supervisor — Who asks for a person.
Yes, please — The question offers a receipt.
Independent-task example or review guide
At reception. Ms Perera is leading it. Certainly; I will send it before five. Other relevant polite replies are possible.
Check relevance, factual accuracy, grammar and clarity. Revise your own answer. Natural alternatives may be correct.
Beginner · Part 7 single passage
4. Part 7: Read notices and simple emails
Read the question, locate the relevant line and check the whole sentence. Notice who is writing, the purpose, dates and any condition. An opening time is different from a meeting time.
Worked example
Notice: Reception opens at 8:30. The safety talk starts at 9:00 in Room 2. Bring your staff card. The talk starts at nine, not at reception’s opening time.
E2 TOEIC · TOEIC Reading Tips: Single and Multi Reading Comprehension
Must you bring a passport instead of a staff card?
Your task: Using that notice, write a short reply confirming the talk’s start time, place and required item.
Guided-check answers
8:30 — This is stated in the first sentence.
Room 2 — The room is explicitly named.
No — The notice specifies a staff card.
Independent-task example or review guide
The safety talk starts at 9:00 in Room 2. I will bring my staff card.
Check relevance, factual accuracy, grammar and clarity. Revise your own answer. Natural alternatives may be correct.
Beginner · Part 5 / Part 6
5. Parts 5–6: Choose words that fit
Check grammar and meaning together. An article is often followed by a noun phrase. After a modal such as can, use the base verb. Read before and after a gap in an email to understand the intended message.
Worked example
Please send the revised schedule. Revised describes schedule. We can send it today. Can is followed by send, not sends.
Please read the instructions (careful / carefully).
Your task: Complete this email: Thank you for your ___. We can ___ the parcel tomorrow. Please confirm your delivery ___. Use order, dispatch and address once each.
Guided-check answers
ship — Can takes the base form.
manager — A person noun is needed after experienced.
carefully — The adverb describes read.
Independent-task example or review guide
Thank you for your order. We can dispatch the parcel tomorrow. Please confirm your delivery address.
Check relevance, factual accuracy, grammar and clarity. Revise your own answer. Natural alternatives may be correct.
Beginner · Speaking foundation / Writing foundation
6. Speaking and Writing: Clear useful answers
Practise accurate short sentences before long answers. Give a direct reply and one relevant detail. For an email, acknowledge the request, answer every point and close politely. These drills build skills; they do not replace the separate Speaking and Writing tests.
Worked example
Could you confirm the meeting? Yes. It is on Tuesday at 10:00 in Room 4.
Supplementary picture-sentence technique only; the EWS task below also practises emails and speaking.
Try your checks and independent task
Does an email answer need to address both questions?
Choose: I look forward to (hear / hearing) from you.
Does completing a practice drill create an official TOEIC result?
Your task: A visitor asks when your office opens and whether an appointment is needed. Reply using these facts: weekdays 9:00–17:00; appointments required for consultations. Then say the same answer aloud.
Guided-check answers
Yes — Leaving out a requested detail makes the reply incomplete.
hearing — To is a preposition in this expression.
No — Only the test provider issues an official result.
Independent-task example or review guide
Thank you for your message. Our office is open from 9:00 to 17:00 on weekdays. Please book an appointment for a consultation. We look forward to seeing you.
Check relevance, factual accuracy, grammar and clarity. Revise your own answer. Natural alternatives may be correct.
Intermediate · Part 3
7. Part 3: Follow a conversation
Preview the questions quickly. Identify the reason for the conversation, the problem and the next action. Track changes to plans. A detail mentioned first may later be corrected.
Worked example
A: Can we meet at two? B: I have a delivery then. Is three possible? A: Yes, in Room 5. The final time is three.
Success TOEIC · TOEIC Full listening test 2024 (answers + transcript) #2
Should you keep reading an old question after the next conversation starts?
Your task: Read the exchange once, hide it and answer: Why is the first time unsuitable? What is the agreed time? Where will they meet? Then use the Part 3 chapter of the selected video without transcripts.
Guided-check answers
No — The later agreement changes the time to three.
B — B explains the conflict.
No — Move with the recording and return to review after the timed attempt.
Independent-task example or review guide
There is a delivery at two. They agree to meet at three in Room 5. During video review, cite the exact phrase supporting each answer.
Check relevance, factual accuracy, grammar and clarity. Revise your own answer. Natural alternatives may be correct.
Intermediate · Part 4
8. Part 4: Announcements, messages and talks
Use the opening to identify the speaker, audience and purpose. Listen for a requested action and a deadline. Contrast words such as however can introduce a change to the main plan.
Worked example
Message: Our usual entrance is closed for repairs. Please use the east door until Friday. The change concerns access, not opening hours.
Success TOEIC · TOEIC Full listening test 2024 (answers + script) #3
Your task: Write the problem, temporary solution and end point in three short notes. Then attempt the Part 4 chapter of a selected video and compare only after finishing.
Guided-check answers
No — Only the usual entrance is said to be closed.
the east door — The instruction names this alternative.
repairs — The message gives this reason.
Independent-task example or review guide
Problem: the usual entrance is closed. Solution: use the east door. End point: Friday. Do not infer that the whole office is closed.
Check relevance, factual accuracy, grammar and clarity. Revise your own answer. Natural alternatives may be correct.
Intermediate · Part 5 / Part 6 sentence insertion
9. Parts 5–6: Grammar in a full message
Use time expressions to choose verb forms. Look for what a pronoun refers to. A linking word must match the logical relationship: contrast, result, reason or addition. Test a sentence insertion against both neighbouring sentences.
Worked example
The printer stopped working. Therefore, we used the one upstairs. Therefore marks a consequence. However would signal contrast.
Although the office is small, it is (comfortable / comfortably).
Please call me when the parcel (arrives / will arrive).
Sales increased; (therefore / although), we hired another assistant.
Your task: Complete: We ordered the replacement on Monday. It ___ on Wednesday. ___, the technician could finish the repair that afternoon. Use arrived and therefore. Explain what it refers to.
Guided-check answers
comfortable — After is, an adjective describes the office.
arrives — A future time clause with when normally uses the present form.
therefore — Hiring is presented as a result.
Independent-task example or review guide
It arrived on Wednesday. Therefore, the technician could finish the repair that afternoon. It refers to the replacement.
Check relevance, factual accuracy, grammar and clarity. Revise your own answer. Natural alternatives may be correct.
Intermediate · Part 7 double passages
10. Part 7: Connect two documents
Read each document’s purpose, date and writer. Match names, product codes and changed arrangements. Some answers need information from both documents. Distinguish requested action from confirmed action.
Worked example
Order: 12 desk lamps, delivery Thursday. Email: We can send eight on Thursday; the remaining four will follow Monday. The email changes the delivery plan.
E2 TOEIC · TOEIC Reading Tips: Single and Multi Reading Comprehension
Your task: Write a reply confirming how many lamps arrive on each day and asking whether there is an extra delivery fee. Do not invent a fee.
Guided-check answers
12 — The order gives the total.
4 — The email calls these the remaining four.
No — No fee is stated; it must be checked.
Independent-task example or review guide
Thank you for the update. We understand that eight lamps will arrive on Thursday and four on Monday. Please confirm whether the second delivery involves any additional charge.
Check relevance, factual accuracy, grammar and clarity. Revise your own answer. Natural alternatives may be correct.
Intermediate · Speaking questions 8–10
11. Speaking: Answer from provided information
Read the schedule before the questions. Give the exact detail requested. Correct a false assumption politely. An event’s arrival time and its starting time can differ. Use the current ETS format for precise response times.
Worked example
Training schedule: registration 8:45; safety session 9:00–9:40, Hall A; equipment session 10:00–11:00, Lab 2; lunch 12:00.
E2 TOEIC · TOEIC Speaking Tips: Respond to Questions with Information
Should you add a room number not shown in the information?
Your task: Answer aloud: When is registration? Where is the equipment session? Is the safety session at ten? Give the correct time in your correction.
Guided-check answers
Hall A — This is its listed room.
Yes — It runs from ten to eleven.
No — Use the supplied facts accurately.
Independent-task example or review guide
Registration is at 8:45. The equipment session is in Lab 2. No, the safety session starts at nine and ends at 9:40 in Hall A.
Check relevance, factual accuracy, grammar and clarity. Revise your own answer. Natural alternatives may be correct.
Intermediate · Writing questions 6–7
12. Writing: Reply fully to a request
Read the instructions as a checklist. Answer each requested point and include any required questions. Match your tone to the relationship. An email can be grammatically correct and still fail to answer the task.
Worked example
Request: Please tell us your preferred date, number of attendees and any equipment needed. A complete answer provides all three.
Is please send more information enough on its own?
Choose: We would like to (reserve / reservation) a room.
Your task: Reply to that request with these facts: 18 November, 14 people, projector and two microphones. Ask whether parking is available and whether the room is accessible by lift.
Guided-check answers
3 — Date, attendance and equipment were all requested.
No — It leaves the specific request unanswered.
reserve — Would like to takes a base verb.
Independent-task example or review guide
Dear Events Team, We would like to book a room for 18 November for fourteen people. We will need a projector and two microphones. Could you confirm whether parking is available and whether the room can be reached by lift? Kind regards, Nimal

Advanced · Part 2 indirect replies / Part 3 inference / Part 4 inference
13. Parts 2–4: Infer meaning from context
An indirect answer may explain why a request cannot be met. For an implied meaning, connect the phrase with what happened before and after it. Do not choose an answer because it repeats a word from the recording.
Worked example
A: Can you print this now? B: The machine is still being repaired. B implies that printing is not currently possible on that machine.
Success TOEIC · TOEIC Full listening test 2024 (answers + script) #3
Does “still being repaired” mean that the machine is definitely ready now?
Should repeated vocabulary outweigh a contradictory meaning?
Your task: Explain the likely meaning: A: Will everyone fit in this room? B: We have already booked the larger hall. Give the supporting clue, then try a new listening chapter without pausing.
Guided-check answers
No — No number is supplied.
No — Still being repaired describes unfinished work.
No — Meaning and context determine the answer.
Independent-task example or review guide
The original room was probably unsuitable or too small, so a larger hall has been arranged. The booking of a larger hall supports this interpretation; the exact head count is unknown.
Check relevance, factual accuracy, grammar and clarity. Revise your own answer. Natural alternatives may be correct.
Advanced · Part 3 graphic questions / Part 4 graphic questions
14. Parts 3–4: Combine audio and a graphic
Use the question to decide which row or category to read. Match spoken clues to the graphic. A later change can replace an earlier value. Do not assume the highest price or earliest time is the answer.
Worked example
Delivery chart: Standard 3 days, LKR500; Express 1 day, LKR900; Same-day LKR1500. Speaker: We need it tomorrow, but same-day is unnecessary. The matching option is Express.
Success TOEIC · TOEIC Full listening test 2024 (answers + transcript) #2
What is the price difference between Express and Standard?
Your task: Using that chart, answer: Which service is chosen? What does it cost? Why is Standard unsuitable? Then practise a graphic-based item at the official ETS source.
Guided-check answers
Same-day — It arrives on the same day.
No — The speaker says same-day is unnecessary.
LKR400 — 900 minus 500 equals 400.
Independent-task example or review guide
Express; LKR900; Standard takes three days, which misses tomorrow’s deadline. The figures are fictional EWS practice data.
Check relevance, factual accuracy, grammar and clarity. Revise your own answer. Natural alternatives may be correct.
Advanced · Part 7 triple passages / Part 7 inference
15. Part 7: Compare three documents
Build a short timeline. A requested change is not automatically an accepted change. Cross-check details between orders, confirmation emails and receipts. For a NOT question, eliminate the supported statements carefully.
Worked example
Booking: 20 chairs on Friday. Change request: please add five chairs. Confirmation: the extra five are available; delivery remains Friday. The confirmed total is 25.
E2 TOEIC · TOEIC Reading Tips: Single and Multi Reading Comprehension
Can the total rental price be calculated from these documents?
Your task: Write a two-sentence summary of the confirmed booking. Name one detail still unknown, such as price, without guessing its value.
Guided-check answers
25 — The confirmation accepts the five added to the original twenty.
No — The confirmation says it remains Friday.
No — No unit price or total is supplied.
Independent-task example or review guide
Twenty-five chairs are confirmed for delivery on Friday. The booking combines the original twenty and the accepted extra five. The total price is not given.

Advanced · Speaking question 11
16. Speaking: Support and qualify an opinion
Answer the question directly. Develop two connected reasons with a specific example. Acknowledge a limitation where relevant. Use natural phrases you understand rather than a memorised speech that misses the topic.
Worked example
For staff training, I favour a mixture of online and classroom sessions. Online study allows flexible review, while classroom work gives immediate practice with colleagues.
E2 TOEIC · TOEIC Speaking: How to CORRECTLY Express Your Opinion
Must you agree with an absolute statement to answer well?
Is a relevant example more useful than unrelated memorised vocabulary?
Does a self-review automatically award a score out of 200?
Your task: Should every workplace meeting be online? Prepare for 45 seconds, then speak for up to 60 seconds. State your view, give two reasons and one practical exception.
Guided-check answers
No — Either position can be supported with relevant reasons.
Yes — The response must develop the actual topic.
No — It provides study feedback, not an official speaking score.
Independent-task example or review guide
I would not move every meeting online. Routine updates work well online because colleagues can join from different locations. However, a practical safety demonstration is often easier in person, where staff can try the equipment and receive immediate feedback. I would choose the format according to the purpose.
Check relevance, factual accuracy, grammar and clarity. Revise your own answer. Natural alternatives may be correct.
Advanced · Writing question 8
17. Writing: Build and revise an opinion essay
Plan a clear position, organised reasons and relevant examples. Check that each paragraph advances your argument. In TOEIC Writing question 8, ETS describes an effective essay as typically at least 300 words. Review the current task directions rather than applying IELTS or PTE word limits.
Worked example
Claim: Flexible hours can improve work. Reason: Staff can arrange focused work around their most productive periods. Qualification: Teams still need agreed contact hours.
Should you apply PTE’s 200–300-word essay range to TOEIC Writing question 8?
Should your conclusion introduce an unrelated main argument?
Can a fluent essay still need revision if it ignores the question?
Your task: Write an opinion essay: Should companies allow employees to choose their working hours? Explain your position with reasons and examples. Spend 30 minutes on this training attempt, aiming for at least 300 words. Revise after using the checklist.
Guided-check answers
No — PTE requires 200–300 words; ETS says an effective TOEIC opinion essay typically has at least 300 words. Follow the actual task directions.
No — It should follow from the developed position.
Yes — Task relevance is essential.
Independent-task example or review guide
In my view, companies should allow employees some choice over their working hours, provided that the arrangement protects customer service and enables colleagues to work together. A completely unrestricted system would be difficult for many organisations, but a carefully planned flexible schedule can benefit both staff and employers.
One advantage is that employees can organise demanding work around the times when they concentrate best. For example, a writer who works most effectively early in the morning could start at seven and finish earlier in the afternoon. Another employee might prefer a later start. If both produce good work and remain available when needed, insisting on identical hours offers little practical benefit. Flexibility can also reduce the time employees spend travelling in heavy traffic, leaving them with more energy for their work.
A second benefit concerns personal responsibilities. Staff may need to take children to school, attend a course or support an elderly relative. Some control over working hours can help them meet these responsibilities without repeatedly requesting emergency leave. In return, the company may retain experienced employees who would otherwise need to look for another job. However, employees should communicate their schedules clearly and complete their agreed hours rather than treating flexibility as permission to be unavailable.
There are limits to this approach. A reception desk, for instance, must be staffed when customers arrive. Team projects also require periods when colleagues can discuss decisions together. Companies can address these difficulties by agreeing on core contact hours and arranging a rota for essential services. A trial period would allow managers and staff to check whether deadlines, service standards and communication are being maintained.
Overall, I support flexible working hours within clear boundaries. The best policy gives employees reasonable choice while setting firm expectations about availability and results. This balance is more useful than either a rigid schedule for everyone or a system with no shared rules.

18. Timed practice and final checking
Use a fresh test for readiness checking. Keep a part-by-part error log: vocabulary, grammar, inference, missed audio or time pressure. Correct the cause of an error and then test a new item. A raw practice percentage is not an official scaled TOEIC score.
Worked example
Error log: Part 7; selected a requested date instead of the confirmed date; correction: check the later confirmation before answering.
Success TOEIC · TOEIC Full listening test 2024 (answers + script) #3
Does one familiar repeated test establish readiness on unseen questions?
Should listening and reading results be recorded separately?
Is there one universal TOEIC pass mark?
Your task: Complete the mock plan below. Record the source, date, raw result, unfinished items and two priorities. Submit a spoken response and an email for teacher review. Repeat on unseen material before deciding readiness.
Guided-check answers
No — Memory can inflate the result.
Yes — They can reveal different weaknesses.
No — Required scores depend on the institution or employer.
Independent-task example or review guide
A complete review records separate listening and reading results, evidence for corrected answers, a new attempt, and teacher comments for speaking/writing. The teacher confirms readiness against the learner’s actual required score.
