English Lesson

I took a English lesson on last week as I wrote in last contribution to this blog.
Though I was a little bit uneasy because It'd been about a month since last lesson, I managed to finish it. It was a great time.
I'm going to have a lesson tomorrow again.

Looking forward to...

It's been a long time since last time again... My son is 14 months now. He is so fine. He already can walk and speak some words. He is growing up day by day. I'm looking forward to talking with him a lot.

By the way, I was a student of NOVA(a school of English). Since NOVA's bankruptcy, I haven't taken English lesson for more than a month. I looked for a teacher who teach English individually on the web to take English lesson. I'm going to take a lesson on Dec.6th. I'm looking forward to it. And I'm looking forward to the NOVA's branch I used to go is reopened again, but it is not decided yet.

And I'm going to take a TOEIC exam on next March. I'm looking forward to taking it because it will be about a year since last test I got 600 point, and I feel my progress.

TOEIC

Long time no see. How are you doing? I'm fine.

I took the TOEIC exam last month again and I got its result yesterday. It was better than last time. I got 600 (Listening 320,Reading 280) point.

Before getting it I've been thinking it must have got worse than last time. Because I was disturbed by noises from outside of the building during the Listening test. But I made it.

I'm going to take next test on July. I'll make more effort to get more score.

What do you do for Thanksgiving?

Yesterday's topic at NOVA was about holiday. There are many holidays what we Japanese are not familar with in the world. For example,Thanksgivingday,Halloween,Easter,Boxing day... I didn't know what Boxing day is but I thought it's good custom when I knew it.
Japanese holidays might be strange for foreigner. Especially Setsubun is. Do you know the reason why we throw around beans on Setsubun? Because we think that beans have the power to beat evils. We say "Oni wa soto!" when throw around beans. It means "Get out,Evils!"
What Japanese holiday do you think is strange? And do you know any holidays what is strange for Japanese?

I guess I'm pritty healthy.

The topic I studied on last Monday at NOVA (NOVA is a school of English conversation.) was talking about health and lifestyle.
I have quit smoking for 9 years. Of course, I'm never going to smoke again. It's obviously healthy. I usually get up at 7 and go to bed at 12. It's my habit of recent 3 years. And I only exercise occasionally (I play soccer once two or three weeks.) but I have no health problems now.

Do you have any health problems? Or do you do something for health?

What a shock!

The result of TOEIC brought me a shock!
Listening was 315,Reading was 245.
I've thought that I could get a little more better score especially in Reading.
I'll try to get more at next test!


Next topic.
My baby was born at 20th September.
He is 3 and half months now and over 6kg. He is so fine!
