Prepare for TOEIC

I tried TOEIC with Sachiho in college last Saturday. This is a practice exam which I brought from Japan. It was very difficult for me. I often couldn’t understand, and I couldn’t catch some answers. I received a shock when I saw my result of exam because it was sooo bad!!! X( I thought I have to study more more more!!

Next day, we went to Denny’s and studied there about 5 hours. I knew that I don’t know there are too many words, so I must remember anything. I will study hard because I'd like speak English.

After then, I watched a movie that named “Transformers: Age of Extinction” with other friend. I like this series because Transformers are very very cool, so I wanted to watch it! I couldn’t understand English but my friend can use English very well and kind. He told some details to me. The day was so interested for me! XD

Any Regrets

Hi guys, I'm going to talk about my regrets today.

*・:..｡o￠o｡..:・*・:..｡o￠o｡..:・*・:..｡o￠o｡..:・*・:..｡o￠o｡..:・*・:..｡o￠o｡..:・

01: I couldn't join a KENDO tournament when I was a junior high school student.
I had a sick and I couldn't see then because I was allergy to some medicines so I had an eye bandage. This tournament was last tournament for me, but I couldn't join it because we have to wear some protective equipment when we do KENDO. Eyes are very important for any sports, and it's also very important for KENDO. I couldn't just watch or cheer. That's still regret for me now.

02: My pet died about 7 years ago.
I was starting have a rabbit. His name was Harry because there is a scar on his forehead. I was very busy then, but I also had some spare time. However, there were not often do plays with him. He died when I was junior high school student. That was very sad for me.

03: I couldn't study something before.
I didn't like study before, but I'm thinking I had to study more in the past. I don't have good education because I don't like a school. If I had study more, I could have nice experienced in here than now. I'm feeling our study program of about 10 months is not enough, so I want to study more.

Cirque du Soleil * TOTEM

Hi guys! Listen the my experience about I expend last Sunday! X)

*・:..｡o￠o｡..:・*・:..｡o￠o｡..:・*・:..｡o￠o｡..:・*・:..｡o￠o｡..:・*・:..｡o￠o｡..:・

I watched the show of "Cirque du Soleil" last Sunday only me! The title is "TOTEM" in Concord Pacific Place. This was the last show in Vancouver. That was very very amazing, so my seat was a first-row ticket! It was expensive but I think it's correct price because I spent great time! :D They were very wonderful, and there were Japanese in Cirque du Soleil.

The day was sooo interesting than a last show that I watched another Cirque du Soleil's show "OVO" about half years ago because audience's response were very different between Japanese and Canadian. I think Japanese are usually shy, so response is little. However, Canadian is not shy and direct. I think that is nice! I want to watch other shows next time! X)

Communication Breakdowns

Last year, I worked a hotel as a bellgirl in Shinjuku (Tokyo). Many people come to our hotel from various country, so we often have to speak English. Majority was foreign guests than Japanese guests in the hotel that I worked. Sometimes, we couldn't communicate between guests and me, but I did gesture to tell information that guests were asking. Also, I asked to guests to write down some words to understand. However, difficult problem happen sometimes. Our work are so many, and one thing of all that telling how to get the way from somewhere to our hotel by phone is also our work. That was very difficult for me because I can't speak English well, and talking by phone is more difficult than direct talking. Sometimes, I couldn't understand or guests couldn't understand what are say. In this case, I have to change other people who can speak English well than me. Maybe guests were sad or angry because I couldn't understand and did that they asked. That was so sad for me, and it made me angry to myself. I want to speak English well, and I have to be able to speak English because it really need for my dream. I must study hard, so I'm going to try more!!!!!

Homework & Korean restaurant

Please listen to my talk! Last Sunday, I wanted to cry because my homework was very very difficult for me! This was listening and making note homework. I studied with Sachiho in McDonald's. I was surprised because I couldn't catch almost what the speaker says! I came here in Canada before two and half months, yet my English skill is not improving. X( However, I finished this homework with the help of my friends! They are same college students with us, and they have nice English skill than mine. They were very kind because they spent five hours for us! In addition, they gave dinner to us! We went to Korean restaurant. I went to there the first time! That was so delicious! I really like them! X) lol

Making Friends

I think making new friends is very difficult for some people, but that’s easy for other people. For example, active people or cheerful people can make new friends anywhere on anytime. However, shy people cannot make new friends well sometimes. When I was child, I was shy so that was very difficult for me. I still enough can't do that even now. Well, how did I make new friends before? I decided to become to the cheerful person! I think most people easy go to person have smile. X) Also, conversation is very very important for that! I will say “Nice to meet you!” with smile when I see to people at the first time. That’s simple! Sometimes, I’m afraid but don’t worry. I’m thinking everytime that you can do it so I can do it!
