TOEFL

Today, I've got TOEFL score. Actually, I was supposed to get the score yesterday, but I couldn't get it somehow. Although all my friends who took TOEFL have got the score yesterday. Oh, the result is not bad because it went up a little bit, but it isn't good enough. Besides, my score of the listening section was not good, I mean, it fell. So, I do have to study for TOEFL a lot.

I heard some of the friends have got bad score. I mean, their score didn't go up. That's too bad, but they still have a chance to go their score up! It is July 6th. We can take TOEFL ITP at SUC*CES English Academy on the day. We have a fair chance, and we can pass the exam for studying abroad.

We always have good news, on the other hand, we always have bad news as well. We can change something bad to something GOOD. So, we can get good score on the next TOEFL for sure. I know it's really tough but don't give up! Go for broke! I can assure you that everything will turn out fine!

Awesome University Life

I'm a sophomore, majoring in English, at KGU right now. This time, I'm going to tell about my awesome university life. I have 3 things to tell to you guys. They are about my friends, exchange students, and English. OK, check them out in order, one by one!

First, I'm going to tell about my friends. To me, friends are flipping important. They are really good at English, so I'm often jealous of them but I'm also thinking that I need more practice using English. I'm surrounding good friends wherever in college, so every weekday is good day, it is really hard and tough recently though. I always like change. I'm tired of commonplace days, but my friends bring me some changes every day. That's why I can have fun my college life.

Second, I'm going to talk about my English. As you can read, my English is very bad. I think that it sucks... but I'm taking writing A class. I don't know the reason. Anyway, I'm training English whenever and whatever I can. For example, I'm studying TOEFL, talking with exchange students in English, mailing with a Korean and a Finnish girl in English, and some things like that. By the way, I have a dream. It is to go aboard using exchange program. I need more scores for TOEFL because I don't have good score, so when I got the result, I'm disappointed. Studying for TOEFL is not only good for TOEFL, but also good for other English subjects. Therefore, I keep studying for TOEFL whenever I can. I hope my English skills are getting better little by little day by day.

Third, let me talk about my friends, not Japanese. I'm often with international students because I often go to the dorm where they are living in. I was afraid of talking to people who from overseas when I was a freshman. However, I changed when I took part in Freshman camp last year, and from when I met an awesome American at the camp. He is not here now but is the first friend who is from overseas for me. Since then, I am not afraid of talking to exchange students because I noticed that making friends is such a nice thing. Therefore, I'm able to be friends with the exchange students quickly, and I have many international friends. They are good friends and English teacher for me.

I think that these are not enough to explain my university life. But I'm enjoying my college life with the sweetest friends in the world I've ever seen everyday. And I'm using English hard whenever and wherever I can. And more, I'm enjoying spending time with exchange students who are not only from English-speaking country but also are from Asia. I have great, wonderful, and awesome university life because of the 3 things!

Study for Test of English as a Foreign Language!

Today, I studied TOEFL in the library of KGU with two of my friends till 11:00pm. We just planned it yesterday. Therefore, today was the first day to do that. I think, we must be tired, but we had good time.

As I said, we planned it yesterday. We need to study for TOEFL a lot because we are going to apply the exchange exam this year. One of the conditions to pass the exam is that how much do I have the score of TOEFL. Of course, enthusiasm for study abroad is more important than the score, I guess, but sure enough, score is important as same as the enthusiasm. That's why, we started studying TOEFL today.

We are going to study it every Thursday at 7:30pm to 11:00pm. Today was just three people who studied it include me, but we are going to keep studying till July. I have three opportunities to take TOEFL during this semester. I have to get higher score... I know, it is really hard to get it. But I can do it because I started studying with them! Between you and me, I already started studying it by myself, but I was tired to do that... so it was freaking fun for me that I studied it with friends.

Oh! it's almost 3:00am right now! I have to sleep! I will study TOEFL tomorrow as well, but I'm not going to be in the library tomorrow. Maybe I'm going to be in my house. We can do it!

Not good

Every Wednesday, I have mathematics class on fifth period, and today I took the class as usual. BUT, today's class was quit bad, it was just for teacher's self-satisfaction!! He spoke quickly without any confirmations and wrote messy on the blackboard. What is worse, he doesn't tell the aim to us in the class of today! All of teachers have to tell an aim in each class, I think. He just started the class suddenly without any aims, and he kept speaking with not clear explanations...

Anyway, I have to get the grade of the class. I have to keep pace with the class.

I have 5 classes tomorrow, including assistant and foreign language center's class. It's going to tough day tomorrow. But I'm looking forward to taking Jeff's TOEFL class. The class is going to be fun, it's a little bit hard though.

I'm sleepy right now. I'm always sleepy.
See ya!

March 16th Blog

Hello! How are you doing? I'm sorry I couldn't post the day... I have to keep my word...so sad.

By the way, I finally became 19 today!!! I'm so happy because I was 18 although my friends were already 19 during the semseter. 18 was too young for me, and most of women's seniors envy me like, "I envy you!", "Let's exchange our age, shall we?", "Why are you still 18!?", or "Hey, you should be 20 as soon as possible!" like these. Even though I became 19 today, it's still too young for me. I want to be 20 now...

I'm in school library right now, so I'm writing this at there. After this, I'm going to go to the drom which for international students. Some of exchange stuudents celebrate my birthday at the dorm, so I have to go there. I've got some emails from my friends, and also my mother gave me a message. I'm really gald. I have to cherish my family and friends.

Today, I took TOEFL ITP at SAC*CES ENGLISH ACADEMY, but I couldn't do well. I didn't study for it these days, so I couldn't catch words on the listening section, and I couldn't figure out on the reading section. Maybe I could get good score on the grammar section. I have to study English, especially TOEFL, because I really really REALLY want to go to America for study abroad... Mr.Tomei, please let me pass the exchage program exam this year!!! PLEASE!!! I got a confidence which I can use to pass the exam this year in last year, but it's not concern with professours... I'm afraid of failing this year... I need to study hard and to prepare for it now, I know...

Anyway, it's time to finish. I have to write a message for my pen pal who is Finnish girl.
All right, see you later!!
