TOEIC does not really test isolated vocabulary. It tests whether you know which words naturally combine in business English (\u5546\u696d\u82f1\u6587) \u2014 the word pairs Taiwan professionals (\u53f0\u7063\u4e0a\u73ed\u65cf) hear in real meetings, emails, and conference calls.<\/p>\n\n<p>This cheat sheet gives you 30 high-frequency TOEIC collocations split into four categories: business meetings, email communication, office life, and business travel. Each one has appeared on countless TOEIC papers and shows up daily in international offices in Taipei, Hsinchu, and Kaohsiung. Memorize them as pairs \u2014 never as separate words \u2014 and you will start hearing them everywhere on test day.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why TOEIC Loves Collocations | \u70ba\u4ec0\u9ebc\u591a\u76ca\u504f\u611b\u642d\u914d\u8a5e<\/h2>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio aligncenter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=45nXDVHYiiM<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The TOEIC Listening and Reading test (\u807d\u529b\u8207\u95b1\u8b80\u6e2c\u9a57) was designed by ETS to measure workplace English, not academic English. That means the test writers deliberately pack the questions with the natural word combinations that native speakers use in offices. A Taiwanese learner with a strong vocabulary list but weak collocations often loses 50\u2013100 points on Part 5 (incomplete sentences) and Part 7 (reading comprehension) alone.<\/p>\n\n<p>Think of it this way: you would never say &#8220;do a decision&#8221; in English, even though \u505a\u6c7a\u5b9a uses the verb \u505a (do) in Chinese. The natural pairing is &#8220;make a decision.&#8221; TOEIC questions are full of these traps. Knowing the right partner word is what separates a 650 from an 850.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/18kenglish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/toeic-cheat-sheet-collocations-hit-800-2.jpg\" alt=\"opened notebook\" class=\"wp-image-5057\" srcset=\"https:\/\/18kenglish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/toeic-cheat-sheet-collocations-hit-800-2.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/18kenglish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/toeic-cheat-sheet-collocations-hit-800-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/18kenglish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/toeic-cheat-sheet-collocations-hit-800-2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/18kenglish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/toeic-cheat-sheet-collocations-hit-800-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/18kenglish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/toeic-cheat-sheet-collocations-hit-800-2-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/18kenglish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/toeic-cheat-sheet-collocations-hit-800-2-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">opened notebook<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7 Business Meeting Collocations | 7 \u500b\u5546\u696d\u6703\u8b70\u642d\u914d\u8a5e<\/h2>\n\n<p>Meetings (\u6703\u8b70) are the highest-density category on TOEIC.

The fastest way is to encode them in context \u2014 your brain stores word pairs together when they arrive together. Here is the four-step method I recommend to every Taiwan English learner (\u82f1\u6587\u5b78\u7fd2\u8005) preparing for TOEIC.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1: Build Chunk Flashcards | \u88fd\u4f5c\u642d\u914d\u8a5e\u5b57\u5361<\/h3>\n\n<p>Do not write &#8220;meeting&#8221; on a flashcard.

Pause after every sentence that contains a collocation and repeat it out loud. After two weeks, the natural word combinations will feel automatic, and you will hear the unnatural fake answers in Part 5 immediately.<\/p>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3: Write One Email Per Day | \u6bcf\u5929\u5beb\u4e00\u5c01\u82f1\u6587\u4fe1<\/h3>\n\n<p>Send yourself a short three-line business email each day using at least three collocations from this list. &#8220;I attached the revised file, addressed your concerns about the timeline, and confirmed receipt of your last memo.&#8221; Production cements what passive reading cannot.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"720\" src=\"https:\/\/18kenglish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/toeic-cheat-sheet-collocations-hit-800-7.jpg\" alt=\"handshake sales\" class=\"wp-image-5061\" srcset=\"https:\/\/18kenglish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/toeic-cheat-sheet-collocations-hit-800-7.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/18kenglish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/toeic-cheat-sheet-collocations-hit-800-7-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/18kenglish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/toeic-cheat-sheet-collocations-hit-800-7-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/18kenglish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/toeic-cheat-sheet-collocations-hit-800-7-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/18kenglish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/toeic-cheat-sheet-collocations-hit-800-7-18x12.jpg 18w, https:\/\/18kenglish.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/toeic-cheat-sheet-collocations-hit-800-7-600x400.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1080px) 100vw, 1080px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">handshake sales<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Common Mistakes Taiwan Learners Make | \u53f0\u7063\u5b78\u7fd2\u8005\u5e38\u898b\u932f\u8aa4<\/h2>\n\n<p>After 20 years teaching English in Taipei, I see the same collocation errors repeat in classrooms across the island.

Here is a simple 30-day plan that has lifted dozens of my students from the 600s into the 800s on the official TOEIC.<\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Week 1:<\/strong> Master the 7 meeting collocations. Write three sentences a day with each one. Shadow one TOEIC Part 3 meeting conversation daily.<\/li><li><strong>Week 2:<\/strong> Add the 7 email collocations. Send yourself one full business email per day mixing meeting + email word combinations.<\/li><li><strong>Week 3:<\/strong> Layer in the 8 office collocations. Take a Part 5 mock test on Sunday and underline every collocation in the questions.<\/li><li><strong>Week 4:<\/strong> Add the 8 travel collocations. Take a full mock TOEIC. Aim for 25 percent fewer Part 5 mistakes than your starting baseline.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n<p>Want a study buddy who can drill these word combinations with you? Working with an English tutor (\u82f1\u6587\u5bb6\u6559) \u2014 even one online session per week \u2014 accelerates the process because you get instant correction on the pairs you still misuse. If a tutor is not in your budget, pair up with a colleague who is also taking TOEIC and quiz each other every Monday morning.<\/p>\n\n<p>The TOEIC test does not care if you know 10,000 isolated vocabulary words. It cares whether you can hear &#8220;meet a deadline&#8221; and instantly know that &#8220;meet&#8221; is correct, not &#8220;reach,&#8221; &#8220;arrive,&#8221; or &#8220;catch.&#8221; Train collocations as pairs, drill them in real business contexts, and the 800+ score will follow. Good luck on test day \u2014 \u52a0\u6cb9!<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sources &amp; Further Reading | \u5ef6\u4f38\u95b1\u8b80<\/h2>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ets.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ETS (TOEIC test publisher)<\/a> \u2014 official test information and sample questions<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/dictionary.cambridge.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dictionnaire de Cambridge<\/a> \u2014 best free resource for checking English collocations<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.britishcouncil.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Conseil britannique<\/a> \u2014 free business English lessons and grammar references<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/s?k=oxford+collocations+dictionary\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Oxford Collocations Dictionary on Amazon<\/a> \u2014 the gold-standard collocation reference<\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/s?k=toeic+preparation+book\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">TOEIC preparation books on Amazon<\/a><\/li><\/ul>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>30 essential TOEIC collocations Taiwan professionals use to score 800+.
