2021/5/16 TOEIC L&R 久しぶりの自己ﾍﾞｽﾄ更新
I am updating the page since February. And I took the TOEIC test last month. I had expected that I could get a score of more than 800 after taking the test. And I confirmed the result last Tuesday. The result was 785. I was disappointed at first because the score was lower than my expectation. But it is my best score. I thought I should be satisfied with it. 10 points were improved from my previous best score since October 2019. The score of the reading section was 405. And the score of the listening section was 380. My trial continues until I get more than 800.

I feel my English skills are on a plateau because I could not see any new records last year. Therefore, I must put up with the situation while studying English. And I need patience for many things. I want good results as soon as I can because my age is near 50. But it is impossible. They will take a long time to accomplish. It can not be helped it. What I can do is to wait for the time while creating the time. Improving my skills is to create the time for me. And Continuing to work sincerely is to wait for the time.

The Japanese government is likely to extend the emergency for the covid-19 until March 7th. I think the Olympic game would cancel if it does not finish until the day. Certainly, the number of infected people is decreasing. But people already got accustomed to the situation. That is why the number of people who go out is increasing recently. I wonder why the decrease will continue or not.
I should focus on improving my English skills even in the situation. But what I should do is simple. Now concentration is the most important thing for me.

I will take several TOEIC L&R tests this year. But I do not decide when I take it yet.
Now, my target is to exceed the score of more than 800. And I must improve my reading skills to accomplish the target. My listening skill was improved. But I do not come up with a strategy. Is there no special strategy? Is what I can do to get accustomed to reading? If I can get a reading score of more than 400, I will break the target.

I am updating the page since last November. 2021 already kicked off. And the Japanese government declared the emergency of the coronavirus for 11 prefectures. But I still have to go to work. Furthermore, I have been trying to improve my English skills.
Lately, I could not accomplish two goals last year, more than the 800 scores of the TOEIC L&R test and to pass the Eiken grade Pre1. I will not give up on the two goals. Although I am busy with jobs, I am determined to accomplish them this year.

Unfortunately, I failed the Eiken Grade Pre1 again. But, the result was -1. Maybe I would pass it if the number of correct answers was increased. That's why I continue to try the test until I pass.
And I took the TOEIC L&R test. I think my score exceeds 800. And I couldn't feed my improvement in both listening and reading. I will apply for the test soon.
英検準1級は、惜しくも不合格。TOEIC L&Rは800点越えの自信無し。しかし挑戦は続く。

Recently, my concentration is low. I think it can't be helped because I have always been studying English. About two years and a half year has already passed since I made up my mind to study English. And the journey is never over. Anyway, I am going to the next target. I'll try it as hard as I can.
最近、集中力がないが、次のTOEICへ最善を尽くそう！
