    QUESTION AND RESPONSE


    Part 2 of the TOEIC Listening test consists of 30 questions or statements. Each question
    or statement is followed by three possible responses. You should choose the most appropriate
    response. The questions or statements are things you might hear in a conversation among
    colleagues, customers, clients, friends, or relatives. Questions might be requests for information
    or for assistance, and statements might be about needs, plans, or feelings. Topics for part 2
    questions or statements may include: work, shopping, travel, transportation, health, weather and
    etc.

    Most student issues with TOEIC Listening Part Two have as much to do with the format of
    the test as with actual problems with language. Many students would have no problem doing this
    part of the test if they had unlimited time. However, in reality many find it challenging due to the
    rapid speech, short gap between questions in which to decide on and write down an answer, and
    having 30 of these questions in quick succession in the middle of a pretty long and tiring test.
    There are two common actual tricks that the test used to deceive students in this part of the test:

     key words from the question that are repeated in the wrong answer
     homophones, homonyms and minimal pairs of words in the question in the wrong
    answer

    In order to correctly choose responses to Part 2 questions and statements, you must be able
    to: distinguish between a question and a statement, understand the content of a line of
    conversation and distinguish between correct and incorrect conversational responses. Question or
    statement types will include the following:

     Information Questions
     Yes-No Questions, Embedded Questions, and Polite Requests
     Embedded Questions
     Polite Requests
     Questions with or, Tag Questions, and Statements
     Tag Questions
     Statements

    Besides being familiar with the question types, there are some things to pay attention in
    dealing with listening part two such as distractors or incorrect answer options. It may include the
    following:

     Similar-Sounding Words: Some responses use words similar to a word in the question,
    but that are homonyms, or have the wrong meaning.
     Other Distractor Types: Some distractors use repeated words, or the same word as the
    question, but in the wrong context. Some distractors use related words, or words
    associated with something in the question, but in the wrong context. Other distractors
    may include yes-no responses to information questions. There are also distractors that use
    the wrong verb tense.

    TOEIC Listening Part Two is not the trickiest part of the test for most students, but is a
    chance to build up their confidence and get some points under their belts early on. Perhaps more
    importantly, teaching language for this part of the exam is likely to be useful for students’ real
    use of English in their work (something that can’t be said for most of the TOEIC test).
