TOEIC Speaking Question 1 of 11

Announcements are statements that give information to the public. Notices are
publicly displayed written information. The main difference between announcements
and notices is that announcements generally give specific information about a
specific time, place, or event, where notices are more formal statements giving rules,
explanations, or changes. For example, wedding and engagement announcements
are not considered notices. A notice would be a sign stating that there is no hunting
allowed on private property.

Yesterday, it was announced that Nation Railways is suing Carbon Industries for
fifteen million dollars. Carbon Industries, a coal producing company, suffered
immense damages last year after an unexpected fire destroyed three-fourths of their
most profitable mine in Pennsylvania. After the incident, Carbon Industries could not
fulfill their eight million dollars contract with Nation Railways for three hundred
tons of coal. As a result, Nation Railways was forced to run fewer trains and cancel
several important shipments, settling them back an additional seven million dollars.

Hi, this is Olivia Brown. I was calling to ask if I could change the date of my dental
appointment. Last time I came to the clinic, we scheduled the date for um… this
Wednesday at three in the afternoon. However, my boss just informed me today that
I must go on a quick business trip to France for an important meeting. I will be out
of town for the next week, so I’m afraid I won’t be able to come this Wednesday.
When is the next available day and time that I can come? I am free next Friday, so it
would be great for me anytime that day. I would really appreciate it if you could call
me as soon as possible, so that we can schedule an appointment before I have to
leave tomorrow night for my flight. I am hoping that by leaving you this message
now, I will get a phone call back next morning. I really want to make an
appointment before I leave. My number is 345-6789, again, that’s 345-6789 and

One of the most controversial issues in the United States today is the issue of
abortion. Some groups, notably right wing religious groups, claim that abortion is
murder, the taking of a life. Other more leftist groups argue that it should be a
woman's right to choose whether or not to bear a child. These two stances are
known as 'pro-life' and 'pro-choice'. Analyze the arguments of both sides of this

Many companies now use computer networks to communicate within the company
and with their suppliers and clients. This can lead to breaches of security. To enter
these systems, users must enter a personal password. These passwords are intended
to be private, but sometimes a ‘computer thief,’ also known as a ‘hacker,’ discovers
one of these secret passwords. The thief can leave a virus that can infect all the
network computers. The work of an entire office can be halted by one misplaced
password. To help prevent such a catastrophe, it is advisable for users to change

three-hundred yards of sand from the water to the boardwalk. Now there is only
about a hundred yards. The estimated cost of this operation will be at least five
million dollars. If approved, taxpayers will most definitely see an increase in their
property taxes. Work will need to begin in early spring to reduce the chance of

Hello, my name is Jackie Ashford. I stayed at your hotel last night, and I think I
left something in my room. It is a white folder with all my clients’ names and
contact information. It is very important for me to find it, because it contains
private information. I don’t want to risk getting sued for breaking confidentiality
rules. I am pretty sure that I left the folder in the hotel room, because I checked

You can reach me on my cell phone. My number’s 777-8121. Thank you so much.
