This textbook is compiled to meet the needs of students taking a TOEIC course which forms part of the curricula at Lac Hong University
In selecting the materials for this textbook, the compilers set before themselves
a modest goal They were guided by the desire to provide the students, within the framework of the textbook, the possibility of getting acquainted with the format of the new TOEIC test Furthermore, they carefully designed the book in order to meet students’ demand to communicate in an international communication environment through the four basic skills: Listening, Speaking, Reading, and Writing
The textbook of TOEIC 2 is intended for students who want to aim for a higher TOEIC score range of 250 – 300 and equips them with fundamental knowledge as a preparation step for TOEIC 3
We are aware of the deficiencies that remain in the textbook in spite of the efforts to make it an efficient aid in the study of this TOEIC course Needless to say, the compilers will be greatly indebted for all criticism and corrections sent to the General English Department via generalenglishdept@luh.edu.vn

Cats, a musical comedy about cats
The musical comedy Cats is set in London's East End and follows the lives of a family of cats as they try and start their own newspaper publishing company The father cat, Fredrico, had a lifelong dream of having his own newspaper called the
Daily Meow Assisted by his lovely wife Tiffany, their daughters Lucinda and
Geneveve and their slightly crazy son Pannini, this family of felines sings and jokes their way into everyone's heart
As you watch the play, you will hear such musical treasures as; "Baby, Don't Eat the Green Salami," "The Marmalade Cat Shuffle," and the unforgettable, "I'm Not Crazy – Just Misunderstood."
Because this is a sold-out performance, all attendees are requested to arrive one hour before the start of the show Also, we ask that you do not bring any pet dogs or mice
to the show as these animals will excite the actors
Cats, a furry good time!
