Thi thử TOEIC

The new play, Sunflower Sunset, opened at the Westwood Playhouse last night. A lot of effort went into this production. The actors _____(1) for months, and an elaborate set was constructed.

Unfortunately, this effort could not save the dull dialogue. It was easy to see that the _____(2) was bored - snoring was heard throughout the theater, and many people left before the end of the play.

The actors made a fine effort with their _____(3), but the best acting in the world cannot save a poorly written play.

Dear Jane,
How are you? I'm at my aunt and uncle's house in the country. I'm having a great time. The country air is so clean. I ride horses every day with my uncle. He is giving me lots of advice. My aunt cooks delicious food for every meal. She taught me how to make chocolate chip cookies. I would like to stay for another week, but I can't. My vacation will be over. I will see you in two days, and I will tell you all about it.
Your friend,
Susan

Subject: Training session

Dear Mr. Mallory,

I just learned from your memo that I will be required to attend the training session on October 12. Unfortunately, I had already planned to be out of the office that week attending my niece's wedding. My supervisor has given me permission to take that time off, and I have already purchased my plane tickets. I didn't know about the date of the training session when I set up these plans, and it will be very difficult to change them now. My mentor suggested that I ask you for permission to miss this training session. I am willing to attend the next session instead. I hope you don't reject this offer. It is very important to me to be able to attend this family event. Thank you.
