Dear Sir
TOEIC Listening Exercise IAudio) It is really very tough when compare
with TOEIC Listening Exercise(Video and Audio).You cannot answer a
single question unless you unserstand the text message properly.
I am reading the same two three times and making mistakes also. if you
have patience and read the text properly you can acheive what you
want.
Business quiz is very very tough I have omitted the question in all the
exercises. Verb, Noun, and Adj quiz are really very intersting.Pl.don't ask
me any feedback till I finish it.

Thank you

I get it that "manila folders" are "documents holders", but what does "legal envelope" mean?
Is it some kind of an envelope of standardized size? 216 * 355 mm?

Also, there's a small mistake in:
'Hmm... well, I'll guess we'll have to go with the expedited, then.'

Please, explain what does the collocation shown in bold type mean:
"And I'll check to make sure your new phone works properly before you leave the store"
Why not: "I'll make sure ... "

Either can be used, Gheon. One is an expansion of the other (often unnecessary, but common use all the same).

In this case, I think the expanded version of the sentence provides extra assurance to the customer. (I'll make sure it works by (personally) checking it.)

Hi Gheon, I'm afraid I can't follow. Both words are spelled correctly -- recyclables and leave. What exactly do you think is the error? Many thanks, Torsten

I'm afraid that the weary mind had played a trick on me. The second sentence is alright. But the first one misses 'c' in the middle of "recy..lables".

I'm not sure I understand what you mean. This is what it says: Recyclables are Wednesday...

Spot on! I was talking about the transcript. I usually read it after the listening part is over in search of new words & expressions. Also one can polish his pronunciation here.

The question is like this: "What does the woman suggest for the man?"
The transcript is like this:
"Personally, I recommend the lobster. It's fresh from Maine -- the best in town. But the steaks are also quite good. They use only grass-fed Angus cows. And for dessert, you've got to try the New York Cheesecake!"
The correct answer said to be this: New York cheesecake.
The word personally suggests that the main course should be lobster while cheesecake & steaks are also good, but not that good as lobster.
If it is so then the question needs to be reformulated somehow else.
F.e. What does the woman suggest for the dessert?
