Preface

This learning material is intended to provide students with guidelines to

the learning of vocabulary and grammar in order to best use the core

book “Developing Skills for the TOEIC TEST”, one of the most

renowned books by First News.

The material contains 3 sessions. Session 1 deals with the knowledge of

vocabulary in 14 units and the contextual examples of authentic

language given to illustrate. Session 2 gives the important grammar

practice tests related to the key grammar points so that students can

actively practise and effectively improve their skills. Session 3 gives

the answer key.

As mentioned, the material is beneficial to students. Constructive

suggestions and corrections are, therefore, highly appreciated.
