Work on TOEIC

Please take this practice TOEIC.  It works very well.  I tested it with other classes!

Be patient with the audio; it may take a few seconds to start.

If you do not have speakers, do the reading section only, and then read the following article to have a debate about it.

Paul has a background in magazine and website management, and established the MA in Online Journalism at Birmingham City University. He has contributed to a number of books about journalism and the internet and speaks about these subjects regularly both in the UK and internationally. His ‘Model for the 21st Century Newsroom’ and ‘BASIC Principles of Online Journalism’ series have formed the basis for newsroom operations and journalism education around the world, where they have been translated into a number of languages.

In 2008 Paul was ranked the UK’s 4th ‘most visible person on the internet’ by NowPublic. In 2010 Help Me Investigate.com was shortlisted for Multimedia Publisher of the Year. In addition to teaching and writing, Paul acts as a consultant and trainer to a number of news organizations.”
