Q： TOEICの種類は？ 「TOEIC公開テスト」と，TOEIC団体受験制度による「TOEIC IP」は，どう違うのですか？
A：「TOEIC公開テスト」は，全国の会場で一般市民の人たちも受験する正式なテストで，　写真付きのスコア票が送付されてきます。　「TOEIC IP」は，TOEIC Institutional Programの略で，大学や企業，あるいは生協がTOEIC受験の団体会員となり，それぞれが独自に実施するテストです。内容的には，「TOEIC公開テスト」の過去問が出題され，スコア票は写真貼付のないものになります。進学や就職の際には，正式なスコア票の提出を求めるところもありますが，「TOEIC IP」も一般的には広く認知されています。この他，新しいTOEICのテストとして，TOEIC SW(Speaking & Writing) Testsも開発され，受験者も徐々に増えてきています。　(by Prof. Kozo Hirose)

During my second month of nursing school, our professor gave us a quiz. I was a good student and it was an easy exam. However, the last question surprised me.　It said: “What is the first name of the woman who cleans the school?”　I had seen the cleaning woman several times, but how would I know her name?　So I left the last question blank. Just before class ended, one student asked if the last question would count towards our quiz grade. “Absolutely,” said the professor. “In your careers, you will meet many people. All are important. They deserve your attention and care,　even if all you do is smile and say ‘hello’.” I’ve never forgotten that lesson. I also learned her name was Dorothy. (by Prof. Simon Smith)
