–PRACTICE EXAM 2– 170. d. This is the only way the company and federal government regulations are similar. According to the article, teens under the age of 16 can work. There do not seem to be any restrictions on the number of consecutive hours a teen under 18 can work, so that is not the correct choice either. The federal government does not require a parent consent form for teens until they are 18, although it is required for teens between 16 and 18 to work until midnight. 171. c. Choice a is the number of hours that a teen under 18 can work consecutively. Choice b and choice d are also incorrect. 172. d. As used in the article, choice d is the closest in meaning. Choice a might be considered, but dictate means more than desire. It means it is required. Choice b is incorrect. This isn’t a matter of choosing. Choice c is another meaning of the word dictate, but context clues tell us this is not the correct choice. 173. a. This is what the advertisement’s purpose is. Leather luggage and carry-on bags are both mentioned, but only in passing. Choice d is also incorrect. 174. b. Choice a doesn’t make sense. If it is not popular, why not put it on sale? Choice c is not accurate. Leather luggage is generally a more expensive and desirable option. There is nothing in the ad to suggest choice d is correct. 175. d. The sale is called a Winter Sale, so it probably would not still be on in May. There is no reason to believe that choices b or c are correct either. 176. a. Choice a is the best answer. This is suggested by the advertisement, which says they are available “while they last.” The other choices are not suggested by the advertisement. 177. c. This is what the article is mostly about. There is no mention of choice a or choice b. While the policy asks guests to sign in, this is not what the whole article is about. 178. b. This is what the article says. Choice a doesn’t make sense. Choice c is probably true of both the old and new ID cards. There is no mention of choice d. 179. b. This is what the article says. There is no mention of the other choices, so they are all incorrect. 180. b. This is what the article says an employee should do. There is no mention of calling the receptionist, nor is there any mention of telling the person to leave or having them go to the reception area. 181. a. This is what the article is mostly about and its purpose. Choice b is mentioned, as is choice c, but they are not the main purpose of the article. 182. c. This is what the article suggests. The other choices are not correct.You might consider choice a, but choice c is the better answer. 183. b. All the other information is included in the advertisement. 184. d. This is covered only in the advertisement. Choice a is mentioned in the article, as is choice b, but not in the advertisement. Both the article and advertisement mention choice c. 185. a. While the advertisement suggests choice b, the articles does not mention the topic. Choice c is not correct since neither one provides helpful sites on the Internet. Only the article talks about resumes, so choice d is not correct either. 186. d. This is what the e-mail is mostly about. The other choices are not mentioned in the e-mail. 187. c. This is why soups and salads were recommended. There is no reason to believe that choice a, choice b, or choice d is correct. 275 –PRACTICE EXAM 2– 188. a. This is one of the three foods that can go on top of a salad. Choice b, choice c, and choice d are all available for sandwiches only. 189. a. This is the only item that can go both on a salad and in a sandwich. Choice b and choice c can go on salads but not in a sandwich. Choice c can only go in a sandwich. 190. c. This is how the restaurant is described in both the e-mail and the menu. Choice a is not mentioned in either the e-mail or the menu. Choice b is mentioned in the e-mail, but not the menu, while choice d is mentioned in the menu but not the e-mail. 191. a. This is the main purpose of the letter. There is no mention of what the hotel club looks like, so choice b is wrong. Choice c is not mentioned, either.While the letter mentions Spesso Restaurant and there is a coupon enclosed, this is not the main purpose of the letter. 192. b. Choice a may be true, but we cannot tell from the letter. Neither choice c nor choice d is suggested by the letter, either. 193. d. Choice a might be true, but it seems unlikely, as does choice b. Choice c is doubtful as well. 194. b. Both choice a and choice c are learned in the letter and coupon. Choice d is not mentioned in either one. 195. d. This is the only piece of information found only in the coupon.All of the other choices are found in both the letter and the coupon. 196. a. This is the purpose of the agenda. It is not to show that many people will attend the meeting. There is nothing to suggest that either choice c or choice d is correct. 197. b. This is why she e-mailed Terri Mann. Choice a is not correct because although there is mention of the newsletter, Terri Mann was at the meeting, so she already knew about it. There is no mention of either choice c or choice d, so they are incorrect as well. 198. b. This is suggested by Fredericka Hodges when she says that the show will include Terri Mann’s artwork. There is no mention of Terri Mann organizing an art show before or that she is a member of the board. We know that she was at the board meeting, so choice d is also incorrect. 199. d. This is the only topic found in the agenda that is not mentioned in the e-mail.All the other choices are mentioned in the e-mail and the agenda. 200. b. This seems to be the main concern in the e-mail and is also on the agenda. There is no mention of choices a, c, or d, so they are all incorrect. 201. To hear this passage, listen to Track 443.

I think builders should be required to use green materials in new construction because it is important to use materials that don’t pollute or hurt the environment and the people who live or work in the buildings. The only way you can get builders to comply would be by fining them, so I think that is important as well. Nowadays, there are enough green materials that are reasonably priced, so builders wouldn’t be facing higher costs than they would with materials that are not green.

The opinion essay should be well organized. Clear details and supporting statements should back up the opinion.Words should be spelled correctly and the grammar of each sentence should be correct.An example of a sample response is: I think it is more important to do good deeds than to earn a lot of money. I know I may be in the minority, but when all is said and done and you look back on your life, isn’t it more important to have done something meaningful than to just have a lot of money? Take my father, for example. He’s been a schoolteacher for over 40 years. He makes a fairly good living, but is by no means rich. But he has enjoyed his work and when he meets former students, you can see that they respect him a great deal. He has had an effect on so many young people and he really takes his job seriously. If students aren’t doing well, he goes out of his way to find out why and tries to help them achieve the best that they can. But it’s not just his job as a teacher that makes him special; it is other things as well. He has been a great father to me and my sister and brother. He is patient with us, even when he doesn’t have to be. He takes an interest in everything we do and is encouraging when we are down. Seeing the way he lives has had an extreme influence on me. That is why right after college I joined the Peace Corps, so I could help people. I had a great experience living in Africa and working with people who had so little in terms of possessions. The experience was so rich in rewards. it made me feel as though I was making a difference. So, that is why I say it is more important to do good deeds than to make a lot of money. Money is fine, but it doesn’t give you the kind of gratification you receive from helping someone else. 278 10 PRACTICE EXAM 3 y taking this third practice exam, you will get additional practice in each section of the TOEIC— Listening, Reading, Speaking, and Writing. 279 ... - tailieumienphi.vn
