リスニングテスト

It's too bad! I took a practice test of listening. I went on correctly answer 52 out of 100. What should I do? I still have the work of memorizing every day. Sometimes, I had listening trainings using English websites. I have only two weeks until the TOEIC test. I will try everything I can for the test.

今日の記録

Today, I began to use new textbook for the TOEIC. It is "Reading Training for the New TOEIC Test". I use it in order to improve my reading skill. When I took the TOEIC test, due to lack of time, I couldn't answer all of the questions. So I have to read English faster!

レポートが一段落

I submitted my term paper to Professor today. I wrote about tourism culture in Japanese. I cited some English books for the paper. I think that reading English books for my study at graduate school is different from for the TOEIC test. Of course, I can't read English books for my study without a dictionary, but I think that they are easier to read than the TOEIC text books. It is because there are various contents in the TOEIC text books that aren't familiar to me. Anyway, I have already finished 6 papers. Although 1 paper is left, I have enough time to write it. So I have to concentrate on studying for the TOEIC. In addition to memorizing words, I'm going to study listening and reading. It's just start!

大学院の勉強とTOEICの勉強はリンクしないんですね。期末レポートが一段落したので、リスニングやリーディングも取り入れて勉強していこうと思ってます。

今日で5日目

Today is 5th day since I begun to prepare studying for the TOEIC test.

I'm doing well･･ maybe.

Yesterday, I went to the elementary school in order to watch the baseball game of my son. The game was the practice one for mainly 5th grade players. There are 18 members of 4th and 5th grade players in the team. My son is 4th grade. Because it was the practice game, all players could play for the game. My son also played as a left fielder from the 3th inning. He went 1 for 2. But the thing surprised me that he hit the game winning!! He was a lucky man. Of course, I was happy. 

英単語暗記作業、まだまだ先は長い。。早くも飽きてきた感じなのですが。

息子が頑張っている姿を見て、少し触発されたような気がします。

覚えても忘れる・・

It is difficult to keep words in my memory. I forgot many words that I memorized yesterday. I need to check them many times...I always fail to memorize words to study English. Because I was disappointed with my unskillful the work of memorization, I have been giving up. But this time is different. I had study meeting at graduate school today.Every PhD. students seemed to read English without troubles. I'd like to be like them someday! Never give up!

まだスタートして2日目。覚えた単語をすぐ忘れてしまうのは想定の範囲かな。あきらめないでがんばりま～す！

当面の目標

I'm going to take the TOEIC test on March,12.

My plan for the test is that I concentrate on memorizing words and idioms for the time being.

The number of words that I try to memorize are 1400, and idioms are 560.

It is because I want to improve my reading skill. Actually, I had the TOEIC test last summer and got a mark of 620. The score of reading section was bad mark, 260. I couldn't read well because of words problem and time. So I'd like to enhance this.

I'm using the book "Quick Mastering: Essential Vocabulary for The TOEIC Test."

Today, I memorized 140 words and 52 idioms.

当面は単語とイディオムの暗記に集中します。

テキストTOEIC　TEST　英単語スピードマスターを使用してます。

ブログ始めます。

Hello!

I'm persimmon.  I began to study at graduate school from last April, even if belated. I am always reminded of my problems of English skill when I study at graduate school. So I decided to challenge TOEIC test in order to improve my English. For this purpose, I set a target score of 900. I have never lived and  studied abroad. But, I'd like to have various functional ability in English. At the beginning, I chose TOEIC. On this blog, I'd like to record my daily studying for TOEIC. Sometimes, I might write about me and my family.

初めまして。

遅まきながら昨年4月より大学院に通っています。研究でも英語の文献を扱うこともしばしば。自分の英語力があまりに低いのを思い知らされ、まずはＴＯＥＩＣにチャレンジすることを決めました。

このブログは日々の学習を記録していきたいと思っていますが、時々小学生の息子の子育ての事も書いていきたいと思っています。

というわけで、どうぞよろしくお願いします。
