Wanted: Feedback on TOEIC® Listening Exercises

[Vuongdieulinh]

hi Torsten
When I used the TOEIC listening this morning I was asked to download the files. I used to listen online and never had this problem before.

thanks

In the exercise nr 130, I think two answers are correct: C and D. please tell me why can't it be C: The woman is wearing sports boots?

Hi Saneta,

Thanks for your question!

The answer "C" says, 'The woman is wearing sports boots.' This woman is wearing sports "shoes or sneakers." Boots would come up her leg at least six more inches.

So, the correct answer is D.

I hope that helps,

Tom

Hi Torsten,

I'll rewrite my message if you don't mind. There are mistakes in it. Maybe its my typing.

I've been trying to open my listening exercise which you send me but it just won't open. There is also a personality form which I have filled but I cannot send it because I keep receiving a message saying the password and email belongs to someone else. I know that that someone is me, because there is no other person with the same name. It is not a common name even here in my own home island and country.

Please help.
