  • Hello, Luke. I have tried those questions. Please let me ask one question about the number three. Is it inappropriate to say “it is considered to S V”?

  • Hi, Luke. I practice everyday conversation in English. Is it useful to study for TOEIC toward daily conversation? Some people say TOEIC is unique in a certain sense. If you don’t mind, let me know your idea. Thanks in advance.

  • I scored 8/10.
    I answered wrong at 3 and 7.
    As Nana says, I think the answer to the Q3 is “It is considered.” Maybe British people prefer “It is thought”?
    As for 7, the verb has to comply with “None,” not “kids” sothe answer has to be “has.” I answered this wrong but now Iunderstand why I was wrong.
    3はNanaさんの言うようにit is considered が答えではないかと思いました。
    7はkidsではなく、Noneに動詞を合わせるのでhasなんですね。これは答えを見て納得しました。kidsにつられてhaveを選んでしまいました。

    • I adapted all these questions from real TOEIC questions, so I don’t think any of them are wrong.
      According to the company that runs the TOEIC, “none” can only be used with the singular “has”. However, many sources say that none can be used with both the singular and plural. Therefore both b and c are correct. However, when taking the TOEIC only C is correct.
      Question 3 is quite difficult. For everyday English “considered” would be fine. However, for the TOEIC “considered” means “think about” and therefore cannot be used with “that”.
      I hope that answers your question.

      • Thank you very much for the detailed explanation, Luke.
        So, it’s not about the difference between British English and American English.
        I know my English reading experience is limited,especially compared to native English speakers, but somehow, “It is considered” sounds most natural to me.
        I was less familiar with “It is thought” structure than “It is considered”, but now I think I understand how it’s used.
        Thank you.
