Subject: Yesterday’s meeting
Dear Katharine,
Thank you for taking the time to get together with us yesterday. Everyone on our team felt that it was a
productive meeting. We have a better understanding of your project’s needs now, and we’ve started
looking at ways to adapt our software to meet your requirements.
While the basic function of the software is well suited to the project overall, as discussed, we will explore
ways to adapt it to the needs of the different departments at Advantage that will be using it. This will
incur some additional cost, as we indicated—we’ll provide details about that at our next meeting, once
our engineers have assessed the changes that will need to be made.
I’ve asked Peter Bodell to prepare a document for you that indicates when the Training and Consulting Department could start providing services to you. He’ll send this information to you directly—since
you’ve worked with him in the past, it seems the most efficient way to go.
As agreed, let’s set up a meeting for the week of November 26 by which time our engineers will be able
to outline their approaches to your departmental needs, and we’ll have the information we need to put
together a contract.
In the meantime, please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
Regards,
Ujjwal

Exercice du 18 Octobre 2012
PART 7
Directions: In this part you will read a selection of texts, such as magazine and newspaper articles, letters, and advertisements. Each text is followed by several questions. Select the best answer for each question and mark the letter (A), (B), (C), or (D) on your answer sheet.
The new economy has created great business opportunities as well as great turmoil. Not since the Industrial Revolution have the stakes of dealing with change been so high. Most traditional organizations have accepted, in theory at least, that they must make major changes. Even large new companies recognize that they need to manage the changes associated with rapid entrepreneurial growth. Despite some individual successes, however, this remains difficult, and few companies manage the process as well as they would like. Most companies have begun by installing new technology, downsizing, restructuring, or trying to change corporate culture, and most have had low success rates. About 70 percent of all change initiatives fail.
The reason for most of these failures is that in their rush to change their organizations, managers become mesmerized by all the different, and sometimes conflicting, advice they receive about why companies should change, what they should try to accomplish, and how they should do it. The result is that they lose focus and fail to consider what would work best for their own company. To improve the odds of success, it is imperative that executives understand the nature and process of corporate change much better.
Most companies use a mix of both hard and soft change strategies. Hard change results in drastic layoffs, downsizing, and restructuring. Soft change is based on internal organizational changes and the gradual development of a new corporate culture through individual and organization learning. Both strategies may be successful, but it is difficult to combine them effectively. Companies that are able to do this can reap significant payoffs in productivity and profitability.
What is the article mainly about?
(A) Corporate marketing plans
(B) New developments in technology
(C) Ways for companies to increase profits
(D) How companies try to adapt to new conditions
The word “manage” in paragraph 1, line 6, is closest in meaning to
(A) correct
(B) attract
(C) handle
(D) regulate
According to the article, why do so many attempts to change fail?
(A) Soft change and hard change are different.
(B) Executives are interested only in profits.
(C) The best methods are often not clear.
(D) Employees usually resist change.
What is soft change based on?
(A) Changes in the corporate culture
(B) Reductions in company size
(C) Relocating businesses
(D) Financial markets

Bienvenue dans mon blog, j'espère que celui-ci vous aidera à bien préparer votre TOEIC.
Le but de ce blog est de vous aider à bien préparer votre TOEIC afin d'obtenir les meilleurs scores, et ceci sans avoir à le repasser ( sinon il faudra payer à chaque fois ).
Le TOEIC ( Test Of English for International Communication ) est un certificat standardisé permettant d'évaluer le niveau d'anglais des locuteurs non-anglophones tant au niveau de l'écrit que de l'oral.
Plus de six millions de tests sont corrigés chaque année dans le monde, dont des centaines de milliers en France.
Chaque certification a une durée de validité de deux ans. En effet,
il est prouvé qu'au-delà de cette période, le niveau de langue d'un
individu peut fortement changer, il est donc conseillé de réévaluer ses
compétences.
Vous trouverez sur ce blog plusieurs informations qui vous aideront à bien mener votre quête:
- Déroulement du test
- Les différentes parties
- Vocabulaire à connaitre ( et à apprendre )
- Erreurs à éviter
- Exercices corrigés
- Annales
