Important examples of attitude in TOEIC

Vocabulary examples from the TOEIC test

In TOEIC vocabulary questions, attitude often refers to a person's viewpoint or mindset.

▪She has a great attitude towards learning.
▪She has a good mindset about learning.

Example of a confusing word: aptitude (natural ability)

▪She has a great aptitude towards learning.
▪She has a natural ability for learning.
"Attitude" refers to a person's feelings or way of thinking about something, which influences their behavior. In "She has a great attitude towards learning," the sentence correctly describes her positive mindset. "Aptitude," however, means a natural ability or talent for something and is often followed by "for" rather than "towards." Saying "She has a great aptitude towards learning" is grammatically awkward and shifts the focus from mindset to ability. Therefore, "attitude" is the correct choice in this context.

Grammar examples from the TOEIC test

In TOEIC grammar questions, attitude is used to describe a noun and often requires adjectives to modify it.
