1. TOEIC: Test of English for International Communication
These are 7 (seven) tips of joining TOEIC
Tip 1: Set a goal
If you are taking the test to apply for a job, find out what
score is needed. Some jobs require a minimum score of 600.
Management jobs may require a higher score, such as 800.
Choose a goal that you can achieve.
Tip 2: Understand the test
Make sure you understand the format of each section. By
practising tests, you will become very familiar with the
TOEIC. The test should become "second nature" to you before
you attempt the real thing.
Tip 3: Make a study plan
Procrastination is one of the key reasons students fail the
TOEIC. The day you decide to take the TOEIC should be the
day you start to study. Write down your study plan!
Tip 4: Divide study time appropriately
The TOEIC is divided into seven sections. Each section is
worth a certain amount of points. Don't spend too much time
studying one section. Many students make the mistake of
studying the section that they enjoy the most.
Tip 5: Build a strong vocabulary
Another reason students fail the TOEIC is that they have a
very limited vocabulary. Remember that the TOEIC has a
business theme. You should study vocabulary such as travel,
banking, health, restaurants, offices, etc.
Tip 6: Isolate your weak points
After you have been studying the TOEIC for a while, you will
find out which parts give you the most trouble. You might
want to change how you divide your time.
Tip 7: Eliminate distractors
Every TOEIC question has at least two distractors (wrong
answers to trick you). There are many types of distractor
such as, similar sounds, homonyms, repeated words etc. Make
a list of distractors so you recognize them more easily.

2. 7 Countries for Study Abroad
Hello, Fathurrahman!
An English language holiday is a combination of "holiday"
and "study abroad" to learn or improve your English. You can
find many language holidays in English-speaking countries.
While there, you study in a language school with students
from many different countries. You live with local people,
often staying with a host family. A language holiday can be
of any length - from one week to one year - but most are two
or three weeks.
Language holidays have a number of advantages, including:
- total immersion
- mixed classes
- freedom from pressure
- cultural understanding
Here are 7 countries that speak English as a first language
and where you can find many kinds of language holiday:
- Australia
- Canada
- Ireland
- Malta
- New Zealand
- United Kingdom
- USA
