IN support of the UK’s new points-based immigration system, ETS recently launched the TOEIC (Test of English for International Communication) Speaking and Writing Tests in London. TOEIC Speaking and Writing Tests allow experts to measure a test taker’s ability to use spoken and written English in the workplace. The Speaking Test lasts approximately 20 minutes and the Writing Test lasts approximately 60 minutes.

One of the key reasons children say they don’t read more often is that they have trouble finding books they like.
