In Part 3, it is very important to really understand the questions before the conversation begins Make use of the time when the narrator reads the directions to look ahead at the questions and choices in your test booklet
Pay attention to connective phrases in the conversation But/however/actually/in fact is used to show the contrast between the idea before it and the idea after it So/then is used to present the result of something mentioned before In many cases the clue to the answer can be found there
Make sure that you know who the question is asking about, the man, the woman or another person In some cases, even though we understand the conversation well, we may end up choosing a wrong answer just because we have failed to determine who the question is really about
If one of the choices contains a sentence that occurred in the conversation, that choice is very probably incorrect Incorrect answers in this part often have a word, a phrase, or an idea that you heard in the conversation Don’t choose an answer choice just because it contains words from the conversation
Finally, don’t keep working on the questions for a conversation after the next conversation begins Because each conversation has three questions, you may fail to answer all the three questions correctly if you don’t concentrate hard enough Therefore, if you are not sure of an answer, eliminate the choices that you think are incorrect and make the best guess that you can; then concentrate on the next conversation
In many cases, it is important to pay attention to the third person, i.e the main focus of the conversation, rather than to the names of the two speakers in the conversation
Therefore, you need to listen carefully for the verb that comes after “who” to get to know exactly who the question is really about
Who most likely are the speakers?
Who gave the man an offer?
Who is allowed to read the report?
The clue to a correct answer can be found before or after some connective words or expressions in the conversation www nhantriviet.com UNIT®b 'S7
In case the connective word or expression conveys an attirmative message (okay, yes the clue may be found before it If the word or expression conveys a negative message
(but, actually ) or aims to suggest something such as how about ?, why don’t we ?, the clue comes after it
When is the report due?
What time does the staff meeting start?
When Is the woman supposed to arrive?
In many cases, the locations in the choices are mentioned in the conversation, it is therefore important to pay attention to the subjects and the verbs related to the question in order to find the correct answer
Where does this conversation take place?
Where did the woman probably leave her luggage?
Where do they want to go?
This question may ask not only about the means and methods but also about duration, quantity and all the choices may be heard in the conversation It is important to understand how the conversation develops to find the correct answer
How did the woman get to the place?
How long will the man stay in Paris?
How should the man order the supplies?
Since the answer choices of this type of question are usually long, it is a good idea to read ahead the questions and the answer choices A clue to the correct answer may come after phrases like the reason is, due to, because
Why is the man late?
Why did the woman have to move?
Why does the man want to speak to the manager?
Pay special attention to the first part of the conversation since you can usually find the main topic there When the conversation is long and the questions are more difficult, the main points may be repeated in one way or another in the later part of the conversation
What are the speakers discussing?
What's wrong with the flight reservation?
What are they going to do next?
In order to do Part 3 well, you need to really understand the questions before the onversation begins Practice reading short questions ahead and try to get the main points of the questions Then listen to the conversation and choose the correct answer
Finally, listen to the recording again and write down the key words
After you have read the questions, listen to the conversation and choose the correct answer

* Understand the basic elements of a sentence |
| - Understand the reasons for sentence variety |
|: Get used to how specific verbs are used with specific patterns
The basic elements of a sentence in English are subject, verb, object, and complement The subject of a sentence is the person, place, thing, or idea that is doing or being something
It demonstrates the main point of the sentence The verb explains the action or state of the subject The object is the person or thing affected by the action described in the verb, and a complement gives you more information about the subject (a subject complement) or the object (an object complement) of the sentence
This pattern conveys the state or action of the subject just by the verb itself
The new employee works hard
Profits increased steadily last year
In this pattern, the adjective describes the state of the subject and comes after the linking verb (because the verb is incomplete), or the sentence contains a noun after the linking verb to give additional explanation about the subject Typical linking verbs are be, remain, get, become
The serious problem was difficult to solve
— The adjective difficult describes the state of the subject problem
The company’s products remain competitive
— The adjective competitive describes the state of the subject products
The famous speaker is our supervisor
-— The noun supervisor comes after the verb be and is in apposition to the subject the famous speaker
In this pattern, an object is required right after the verb The object may be a noun, a pronoun, a “that” clause, or a gerund (V-ing) Some verbs are always transitive, some are always intransitive, and some others can function as either a transitive or an intransitive verb It is important to know which verbs can be used in which pattern
The managers are discussing the sales figures
The sales report shows that our company is going bankrupt
The verb show is transitive when it means prove something or make the truth or existence of something known, and the “that” clause comes after it as the sentence object
These verbs all have the meaning of “giving”, in which somebody “gives” the direct object
(thing) to the indirect object (person) Typical verbs of this type include offer, grant, bring, present, lend
| will give an outstanding employee an award
The store sent us a number of receipts
We can change the position of the direct and indirect objects
verb of “giving” + indirect object + direct object — verb of “giving” + direct object + preposition (to) + indirect object
Our company will offer employees apartments indirect object + direct object
— Our company will offer apartments to employees direct object + preposition + indirect object
This pattern contains an object complement, which modifies the object and comes after it
An object complement is often an adjective
Last month's bonuses made me happy
We should keep our office clean at all times

The company received numerous about the quality of products
After a transitive verbA noun functions as the object after the transitive verb For example, buy shoes = transitive verb (buy) + object (shoes)
The company accepted for those defective products
Ay responsibiit By resy rsible (C) response
After an articleThere are two types of articles, indefinite articles (a, an) and the definite article (the)
The indefinite article a/an is used before a singular countable noun to mean “one”
The definite article the is used to make a general thing specific When you want to eat
“one apple”, that can be “an apple” (any apple) When you want to eat “that juicy apple” but not any other one, that will be “the apple”
The store on the first floor of the hotel sells a of souvenirs |
After a possessive caseA possessive case indicates the meaning of belonging to, of Possessive adjectives include my, your, his, her, our, their, its (Cf it’s is the reduced form of it is.) The possessive case of a noun may have the form of noun’s, ex Lori's Possessive adjectives cannot stand alone, but must be followed by a noun, for example, his house
Employees in the payroll department gave their to the charity last week
After a prepositionA preposition comes before a noun or pronoun and indicates different meanings such as time, place, condition, means, direction , e.g in the room, at 9 o'clock, about him
A noun that comes after a preposition remains unchanged in form, but a pronoun after a preposition must be in the objective case (me, you, her, him, us, them, it)

An adverb is used to modify a verb, an adjective, another adverb, a phrase or a sentence
It is not exactly an essential part of a sentence, but a proper use of adverbs is a good indication of one’s English proficiency level That is why adverb test items occur frequently in the TOEIC test
(1) Toward the end of a sentence, modifying another adverb
Adverbs can be used one after another [adverb + adverb], e.g easily understandably in
This book is written easily understandably
The president made a presentation very at the annual conference
(2) Before an adjective to modify it
Subject + be + adverb + adjective He is very kind
Adverb + adjective + noun a very kind man
Mr Parker is a efficient employee in the human resources division
(3) Before a verb to modify it
An adverb can come before a verb and modify it [subject + adverb + verb], e.g It will probably rain tomorrow
The doctor recommended the healthy diet to the patient
(4) After or before a past participle in the passive voice to modify it
An adverb can come before or after a past participle in the passive voice, [be + p.p + adverb] or [be + adverb + p.p.]

- Get to know how the passive voice is formed and why it is used - Understand that a passive form does not take objects
- Understand that intransitive verbs cannot be used in the passive voice
In the active voice, the subject is the agent or the doer of the verb, but in the passive voice, the subject receives the action of a transitive verb The pattern of the passive voice is always [be + past participle] with no object following it
He plays music [active voice
— Because the subject “He” is the doer or agent of the verb “plays”, this is the active voice
Music is played by him [passive voice
— Because the subject “Music” receives the action of the verb (is played), this is the passive voice.
Step 3: Put the subject of the active voice after a preposition (in most cases, “by”) andplace this phrase at the end of the sentence Pay special attention to the tense of the sentence
— Revised brochures were published (by employees)
The results impressed all the managers

If there is no object following a transitive verb, the sentence is in the passive voice
There cannot be a noun (as an object) right after the passive form of a transitive verb

— The items from India must be handled carefully (O)
Guests invite to attend an annual company party (xX)
— Guests are invited to attend an annual company party (O) be pleased with please be satisfied with satisfy be interested in interest be involved in involve be concerned about concern
Intransitive verbs cannot be used in the passive voice

(Typical intransitive verbs: arrive, rise, appear, happen, occur, take place)
