2020/10/18 TOEIC勉強

 I took the Eiken Grade Pre 1 two weeks ago. And now, I'm preparing for the TOEIC test on November 15th. I will take it for the first time since last December. I took one previous test last week. The score was my best score. The highest score of the expectation exceeded 800 for the first time.
 But I might get tired a little bit. Now, it is a bit difficult to keep my concentration on preparation for the TOEIC. I will go for a score of more than 800 while relaxing.

 Yes, I think so. I believe that Japan should protect its historic sites more for those following two reasons.
 First, Children in Japan can learn Japanese history through the sites. Therefore, they are good roles in education for children. And I think the thought to value the sites is very important.
 Second, historic sites are also a significant role in the tourism of Japan. Nowadays, many tourists from many countries are traveling around Japan. And the sites attract tourists very much. Certainly, It needs a lot of costs. But, instead of it, the tourism industry could earn a lot of money.
 In conclusion for those two reasons, education for children and tourism for people from abroad, I believe that Japan should protect historic sites more. they are precious things for Japanese people.

 The following three words, tourism, economy, and policy should be used for the sentences below.

 Different people have different ideas about whether we should utilize the Japanese government policy for the tourism industry or not. I believe we should utilize it for those two reasons.
 First, the pandemic of the coronavirus brought a huge impact on the tourism industry. Since the pandemic, many hotels and restaurants have been already bankrupted. And the rate of unemployment has been rising. Therefore, the industry should be supported by the policy.
 Second, Tax paid by Japanese people is being used for support. Originally, it was our money. Therefore, we should use it. We can stay in a more luxurious hotel than the hotels we had always stayed in.
 In conclusion for those two reasons, the tourism industry should be support, and tax is used for the policy. I believe we should use it while preventing the infection of the coronavirus. And let's support the Japanese economy.

 The following three words, pandemic, improvement, and the certificate should be used for the sentences below.

 Different people have different ideas about whether I should take the Eiken Grade Pre1 test again or not. I believe I should take the test again for those two reasons.
 First, now, to take English tests is difficult for us, because of the pandemic. For example, the TOEIC test is limiting the number of examinees for each test. One news said the number of people who applied the test is four times larger than the number of seats for examinees. But, regarding the Eiken test, we can take it easy.
 Second, passing the test is not a reason to study English. The reason is the improvement of my English skills. Therefore, I need to study English through the Eiken Grade Pre1 more.
 In conclusion for those two reasons, to take the test easily and improvement of my English skills, I should take the test again. Above all, I failed it in July. I also want a certificate.

 Different people have different ideas about whether to keep animals is acceptable in zoos or not. I believe that it is acceptable for those two reasons.
 First, there are many endangered species nowadays. To keep animals in zoos might mean to protect such animals. Living conditions for them could be controlled well in zoos. Moreover, zoos could study how to produce animals efficiently.
 Second, it is important to inform people of endangered species. People should not be alive without knowing about the species. The emergency of the species would bring us the emergency of human beings someday. To keep the species also has the educational value
 In conclusion for those two reasons, for the endangered species and the educational value, I believe that keeping animals in zoos is acceptable.

 I tried the previous test of the Eiken Grade Pre 1.
