Entry for February 20, 2008

I mapped out a general plan to pass a first phase test of 1st grade. I have been studying English inefficiently after that I passed pre-1st grade test. I have to go back to basics of English studying for a test. Basically, the most important thing is that I need to improve skills to get a high mark. It is different from to improve English proficiency.　I could went back basis of what I have to do now thanks to Hayato-san showed his family's way and inspired me. I noticed I confused other people's purpose of English studying. I noticed I should study only for a test now, not for improving English proficiency. I think Hayato-san is a good English teacher too. Friends who want to have an excellent command of English should take advice from him. I think Hayato san's way is right. (Just my porpose is different now.)



What I must not do is ineffectual things. Therefore I should improve only listening comprehension and vocabulary.



I have to purchase text books to improve listening comprehension. Some friends advised me about good text books and TV programs. Thank you very much for your advice!



As to vocabulary, Vocabulary test of 1st grade are famous as impractical. However, it is sure memorizing words is most easy way to get a high mark for me. If I get more 5 points, the battle will come easy. Hence, I decided to memorize 500 words. (It is said the section of 1st grade is getting practical these years.)



Today, I checked over exam questions of capacity for reading with text book. It is far easier than I felt at test site. Hmm, it is easier than TIME, I felt. Logical structures are very simple. Questions are also simple. Hmm, publishers might inserted only easy questions.



Also I checked texts of the listening comprehension test. Hmm, I found my biggest problem. It is unused "音変化(speech-sound transformation in English?)" , for example, "ought to, oughta","won't tell, "loud noise, lounoise". Hmm, I may be able to over come it sooner than expected. I think I can get at least more 5 points here.



Oh, 5+5=10. I need more a point. :-D



Oh! I have to go!!!
