Question 8: Write an opinion essay
Directions: Read the question below. You will have 30 minutes to plan, write and revise your essay. Typically, an effective essay will contain a minimum of 300 words.
Questions 1:
Questions 2:
Questions 3:
Sample: This is most likely an image of a corner of a produce market. In the foreground, fresh fruits and vegetables abound. I can see cherries, bell peppers, tomatoes, different types of greens, etc… Their color and shine look extremely tempting. Fading into the background are various shoppers. They seem to all be leisurely looking around and choosing what to buy.
Questions 4:
Sample: In this photo, there is a man walking. He's probably going to work; he seems to be wearing a shirt and tie. There's also a crosswalk, and on the street there are people on motorcycles, as well as a driver in an SUV. This looks to be in the middle of a city. Behind the SUV and the motorcycles there are trees, a city bus, and a number of tall buildings.
Questions 5:
Sample: I think an umbrella should last several seasons at least four or five years. An umbrella is an investment of money, and you should get what you paid for.
Questions 6:
Sample: I much prefer an umbrella over a raincoat. A raincoat is burdensome to carry, and sometimes you don't want to put on a raincoat if it's just raining, but the weather is warm. With an umbrella, you're still protected from the rain, and if you have to carry it somewhere, it's small enough that you don't have to worry about it being too burdensome
Questions 7:
Sample: You can find an application online or at the Civic Center, and you can send it in by February 10th.
Questions 8:
Sample: No, though the application deadline is February 10th, you can send your payment until March 30th.
Questions 9:
Sample: You can send us a description of your business for the program guide by March 20th. By March 25th, you can send us advertisements for the program, and you can also send flyer inserts for the program by April 10th.
Questions 10:
Sample: I don't agree with the idea that the best employees are those who complete their work in the shortest amount of time, because usually, when people complete their tasks in the shortest amount of time, they tend to skip details. The end result is not what is expected from that task. So when - for example, myself, when I finish something too soon, I usually go back to take a second look and see if I missed a detail or two.
Question 1: The man in red shirt is going through a body scanner at the airport.
Question 2: The old man is cleaning a thick layer of snow off his car.
Question 3: A cyclist races down the winding road with meadow views on either side.
Question 4: The women is getting out of the car with a cup of coffee on her hand.
Question 5: The woman in the yellow jacket is standing and waiting for the train.
Questions 6:
To whom it may concern,
I received your e-mail regarding the fitness center's relocation.
I am happy to hear the news. I signed up for a membership to your fitness center last year, but I am afraid your facilities were too old.
I have some suggestions for your center. First of all, it would be a good idea to make separate lounges for men and women, so that they could relax there. Your previous lounge was too small, so if you make new lounges, people will love it. Also, adding a sauna would be beneficial to the fitness center. I heard that going to the sauna is good for losing weight. As you know, many people are interested in losing weight, so if you have a good sauna, your fitness center will be more popular.
By the way, when will you open your fitness center? I'd like to register my family with your fitness center. Also, do you have a discount on family memberships? I hope that my advice will help you and I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Thanks,
Questions 7:
To whom it may concern,
This is in response to your e-mail regarding the package family tour.
I am planning to go on a trip with my family, so I am very interested in your package.
I have some questions about the package. I'd like to obtain some information about the hotel accommodation. When I am in Bali, I will need access to the internet to deal with some tasks. Does the hotel provide free internet access? Also, I have a five- year-old child, so would it be possible to stay at a hotel with a swimming pool? I want to spend a memorable time with my son. I am also wondering how long the flight to Bali is. Is it possible for my son to go there? I'd appreciate it if you could send me some information about these things. I'm looking forward to hearing from you.
Thanks,
Questions 8:
People tend to work with their coworkers in a team. There are some advantages and disadvantages to working on a project with coworkers. I think one advantage of working together is that people can save time and get good ideas easily. However, people also can get stressed when they are in conflict with others.
On the one hand, people can gain good information more easily by exchanging information with one another. For example, when I was in college, I worked on a group project related to volunteer work. Our project was to help the poor, but my team members and I didn't know how to help them by ourselves. Therefore, we each brainstormed ideas and shared them with each other. Through this, we were able to come up with good ideas in a short time and were able to make our project a success. However, if the project were not a group project, it would have taken me much more time to come up with ideas and I wouldn't have been able to handle the project as well. Therefore, as can be see through this case, people can save time and get good information quickly through working with co-workers in a team.
On the other hand, working with others can cause stress. Obviously, it is not good for people to get stressed while working with others. When people work on a project with coworkers, it may not be possible to avoid conflict because every person has different personalities. When people cannot handle conflict, it can cause project completion delays. In this regard, working with people can be inefficient.
In conclusion, there are advantages and disadvantages to working on a project in a team.
It is good to save time and to get good ideas easily through discussion. However, people also can be under stress because of conflicts with others. As a result, when people work with coworkers in their companies, they should consider these advantages and disadvantages.

"Praising is the best way to motivate employees."
Do you agree or disagree with the statement above?
TOEIC Speaking Sample Test 1
Questions 1:
Questions 2:
Questions 3:
Sample: This seems to be an image of a city street on a rainy day. The pavement is reflective almost resembling a mirror, and that means it is raining or just finished raining there. There is a line of cars on the narrow street, seemingly inching forward in a traffic jam. The architecture and lighting remind me of European cities, so I assume this picture was taken in one of them.
Questions 4:
Sample: For breakfast, I typically have coffee and fruit, and I usually have it at home, in my kitchen, before I leave for work.
Questions 5:
Sample: For me, the most important meal of the day is breakfast. It is when I am the hungriest, and if I have just the right breakfast, it really helps me set the tone for the day
Questions 6:
Sample: I prefer eating meals at home. I prefer going to the grocery store, buying fresh produce... I also really like the smell of a home-cooked meal as it percolates throughout the house and fills the house with the aroma.
Questions 7:
Sample: This training is being given by John Friedland, the head of human resources, and you should plan on getting there by 8 A.M. so that you can sign in.
Questions 8:
Sample: This training will not be held in Room 508; this training will be held in Room 573.
Questions 9:
Sample: If you leave at 9:30, you will be missing the third session on handling customer complaints. You will also be missing session number four on maintaining professionalism, which is at 11 A.M., as well as session five at 11:30 A.M., which is a question-and-answer session.
Questions 10:
Sample: I disagree with the statement, because I believe that playing a game is always fun, and I think it's healthy, too. It's better if you win, but it doesn't always happen. For example, I enjoy playing volleyball with my daughter and her friends, and sometimes I am with the weakest of the teams and that doesn't stop me from enjoying the whole interaction with my teammates and and the opponents, so it's always fun.
Question 1: People are quietly working on their laptop in a coffee shop.
Question 2: Two students are conducting a science experiment in a laboratory.
Question 3: The fallen tree has blocked the road.
Question 4: The supermarket cashier is efficiently scanning the items at the checkout.
Question 5: There is 2 pieces of toast and a fried egg for breakfast.
Questions 6:
Hi, Luis.
Thank you for your e-mail. I've been great and hope you have also been well.
I stayed at the SKY Hotel during my business trip last year and thought the room was quite nice.
The hotel has an indoor gym and a swimming pool, which are perfect for relaxing after work.
However, since the hotel isn't located in the city, there aren't a lot of shops or nearby entertainment areas. In addition, the hotel is located quite far from the subway and bus stops, so transportation to and from the hotel is somewhat inconvenient. Finally, the hotel doesn't offer a complimentary breakfast, so you have to eat breakfast at one of the cafés or restaurants located near the lobby. I hope your business trip goes well, and please let me know if you have any more questions.
Sincerely,
Michelle
Questions 7:

My name is Amy, and I am the hiring manager.
Thank you for your interest in the part-time job.
The SKY Institute is famous for English and Japanese classes, and we hold many classes for students of all levels.
As most of our students hold full-time jobs, they are busy working and are often absent from their classes.

If you would like to apply for the position, please submit your résumé to us in person.
If you are available, we would like to proceed with the interview process as soon as possible.
Our institute is located close to the subway station, so it will not be difficult to find.
Should you have any difficulty finding it, please contact us at 010-9892-2164.
I hope this information will help you. Please do not hesitate to contact us should you have any more concerns.
Sincerely,

Questions 8:
Agree
Employee productivity determines the success of a business. Therefore, it is extremely important for employers to keep their employees motivated. In my opinion, compliments, defined as verbal expressions of praise or admiration, are the best way to promote employee satisfaction. The reason is that this free method of employee encouragement not only increases employees' self- confidence but also creates a sense of closeness between employer and employee.
First, compliments motivate employees by increasing their self- confidence. When employees are praised after completing a task, they feel as if they are directly contributing to the company's success. This feeling of importance to the company promotes self- satisfaction, which then encourages employees to work even harder and to be even more productive. For example, when I worked as a marketing intern at KOLON SPORT, I had to prepare a product proposal and present it to my manager. Since my manager praised me as I finished each part of my proposal, I gained self-confidence and was motivated to perform an even more outstanding job on the remaining parts of my proposal. In the end, thanks to my manager's consistent encouragement, I was able to present an outstanding proposal.
Additionally, praise contributes to a closer employer-employee relationship. Therefore, employees feel as if their manager truly cares about them as a person and not as a revenue-generating machine. To many employees, this feeling is enough to promote enthics in the workplace. For example, while I was preparing my proposal for KOLON SPORT, my manager would give me compliments both one- on-one as well as in front of others. These public compliments in front of others especially made me feel as if my manager was truly proud of my achievements and, as a result, greatly increased my dedication to KOLON SPORT.
To conclude, praising is the most effective method of increasing employee motivation because it provides employees with a sense of purpose and nurtures the bond between employer and employee. If employers do not incorporate praising into the workplace, employees will feel underappreciated, which will in turn decrease their productivity. In the long run, this decrease in productivity will lead to severe company losses and ultimately cause the company to shut down. Hence, in order to maintain a flourishing business, employers should actively and sincerely compliment their employees.
Disagree
Employee productivity determines the success of a business. Therefore, it is extremely important for employers to keep their employees motivated. Although compliments may boost an employee's morale, the effect is temporary. Instead, I believe that incentives such as bonuses are the best way to promote employee satisfaction because employees can directly see their gains.
The effects of compliments on employees' morale are temporary because although employees may feel a sense of satisfaction when complimented by their manager, the satisfaction will fade without continual effort on the manager's part. On the other hand, if a manager excessively compliments his/her employees, employees will begin to doubt their manager's sincerity. For example, when I worked as a marketing intern at KOLON SPORT, I had to prepare a product proposal and present it to my manager. Since my manager praised me every day no matter how little progress I had made, I began to question his motives and felt as if he was using me just to make a profit. In the end, I felt like a revenue-generating machine and not like a sincerely appreciated employee. Thus, as can be seen, the compliments did not increase my motivation but rather decreased it.
On the other hand, since tangible incentives such as monetary bonuses provide employees with direct gains, they are more effective at motivating employees. For example, my current job as a marketing analyst provides me with a bonus each time I finish a project ahead of schedule. Additionally, each time I finish five projects in a row ahead of schedule, I am given one week of vacation. Since I look forward to these rewards, I am motivated to be more productive. As a result, my company can make greater profits and be more successful.
To conclude, incentives that provide employees with physical gains are more effective than compliments in increasing employee motivation. If employers do not incorporate such incentives into the workplace, employees may begin to doubt their manager's motives, which will in turn decrease their productivity. In the long run, this decrease in productivity will lead to severe company losses and ultimately cause the company to shut down. Hence, in order to maintain a flourishing business, employers should actively provide tangible rewards to their employees.
