Just Speaking of the English Examination
Barely and fortunately I finally got 180 points on the English examination of the National Center Test for University Admissions this year. (a relative post) However, I'd like to say something against the content on the question sheet.

I guess that there were many unnatural expressions and ones that seemed much eccentric.

The quesstioners forcingly aplied some grammartical connections consciously, and I understand that they have to do so, but it's really hard to read! You, nonsense?! Such stressful description would have suffered many people meaninglessly.

I never think that the questioners are assholes, maybe they're all authoritative for something, but I expect their moderation on it. Too particular, sometimes there is no proper answer, but a near miss is. I never like to choose such an answer as true.


Guys, please be more exact.


Anyway I gained some new words from the test. Thanks at all!


Working for Several Companies
The following two months will be as much satisfied as my stomache hurts thinking of my engagement; I maybe got mistakes on setting my part-time jobs in this spring vacation.

Previously, on the very first post, I told that my spring vacation has already started from the date of 21th, and by now I was finding a new part-time job which is possible to accept me only in this duration (to the end of March). Ordinaryly I can't work so much because of the school life, however now it's the winter vacation so that I was considering of the short-term empolyment. Real fortunately, several calls came back from the companies that I sent an application. Then we decided the individual dates of the interviews for my entry: these are today and tomorrow (plus undicided).


At the beginning I thought the work as one that's not exhausting, from the breif look at the homepage. But the fact is not so sweet. The work hour seems to be 8-13 in the midnight!!! Awful. And, I declared as I expect 4-5 days weekly without any consideration for the other jobs.... What the hell...


I love using a computer, and one of my would-be part-time jobs is the attendant of the electronics. But that's the last one: today's interview was of my last desire.... Its engagement has no relation to electronics.


Ohhhhhh sh*t!!!!!!!!


In addition, I have to send the essay of Napoleon... The teacher said the deadline became by tomorrow. Ah....I'm gonna surrender. Impossible.

[Additional]
Bad follows bad. I noticed having another reservation for the interview!! Aww!! I can't do anything if I get all of the jobs at the same time!! Plus, I reported that I don't have any other jobs on the application!! I almost forgot that I'm going to have one more!!

My stomach aches everytime I beg the officer's forgiving on the call 'cause.....it will be 4 times this month!!! And the officer is now under preparation...it's for me....Aww, my stomach aches.... Too kind, too stressive.


God helps?
I'm doubtful about God's existance and most of Japanese are the same as me. That comes from the disturbance between temples and shrines in centuries ago, then people finally became to doubt about both of God and Buddism. (Not written in any history books, I guess, but from the everyday life, people never seem to believe them.)


But today something sweet happened to me! I'm wanna kiss Him if He lives!


I'm learning about Napoleon and Nepoleonism in the 18th-19th century of France in the history class, and a few days ago my teacher denied my presentation because of less evidence and historical admissibleness. He and I both had already known that I am still a beginner to make it efficiently, but after the class I got too more disappointed knowing that my effort was not enough.


However, I can catch some descriptions that can defeat the teacher's sugesstion! I was gonna give it up in that time, but...!! I appreciate my God even though I don't completely believe His existance anyway.


Not contengencies. The direction of the statements in my references are just as my sugesstion! All the same, they sugesst that the French Revolution was not only the rampage between bourgeosies and the nobels in that era, and also cased by many social problems and so on. And the certian ideology that I sugessted on became demonstratable from the historical connections by now!

Whoooopie


But...the deadline was over today, as far as I remember.....

God, you kidding me, he?


That's funny! The entrance examination
It's past 2 years after my examination in 2006 though, today I challenged a bit of the English section. On the newspaper in this morning, the questions were printed all and I found one funny question there!


C: when emphasizing the bold in the following sentence, which one is the most proper to the idea?

"I'm not going to the movie with John tomorrow."

-1. I'm going with someone else.
-2. John and I are going next week.
-3. John and I are going to a baseball game.
-4.I'm not going and neither is John.


An illiterate?

No relations to the bold!! These asking the holistic interpretation!! Please, EMPHASIS!!
In Semantics and Mophology, I guess the answer for that should be "One who I'm not going to the movie with tomorrow is John" or "It's John that I'm not going to the movie with tomorrow".

I'm really worried who on earth wrote this poor question. I hope that already someone pointed this. *sigh*


[Additional]

Pardon me. Just misunderstood.

It's really ambious but the teller wanna talk about "1". I thought like "I'm going there alone.". Actually means "John is the last man whom I'll company to the movie tomorrow.".

I was childish. MY BAD!!!


[Additional; again]

A little too difficult, isn't it?

I guess that in this year the exmanees needed more literacy than our generation. Some questions required the prospecting skills from the small talks with blanks (or nearly blanks: specific phrases)! Recently people are much considering of the speaking skills, and I know that, but it's harder! Much harder than before.

Some slangy words/phrases appeared in the same section repeatedly, but it was after the graduation that I learned "code" for "a rule".

Umm, whether I was an asshole or recent highschool students are brighter...

As our generation, I could score constantly around 190-196 of 200, but I don't have any confidence now.... (anyway after checking the score of this year, I'll report it on this article.)

[Additional; third]
The score was 180 points this year. Including many objective thoughts to this test, but real barely I got 90%... Not so bad fortunately.


I'm back!!
I'm back from Yahoo! Blog, yay!!


Due to the program of English class in my university, I had to write down on Yahoo! Blog something related to recent day's Japanese culture for about three months. But the class was over on 18th!! I can write anywhere I want! So I'm back to FC2, which I deeply love!

I guess Yahoo! Blog was also good, but not better than here. There were less gears to change the appearance and the functions on Yahoo!. That's maybe quite friendly for the first timers and people who don't know that much about computers, but really boring and sometimes even annoying to ones who can design the style. I think I am that one and hate the system. Now I am so happy to come back on FC2. It has many opportunities.


Anyway the purpose of my writing here is just to make my English work better. Through reading, singing and watching, of course writing many articles, I'd like to improve my ability of English expression.

Some of my corresponds say that my English is awesome, but I can't believe that yet. Some of my friends in my university say that I'm so fluent like a "Kikoku-shijo" , who once experienced the life in another country, but I still have a negetive impression to my work. Also, my score on TOEIC was not soothing: 575 points. I think I have a lot of things to do for my learning.

Actually I've started checking world news on TV for listening, and going to read some magazines for vocabulary. Fluency should be learnt in conversation. I want to carry all on during this spring vacation.


I'm also learning Chinese. Still I can't even understand a sentence 'cause there are too many words that I don't know. But as a student of the lenguage study, I want to be a man who is pround on my skills before graduation.


(I will re-upload the past descriptions later. I don't want to leave my posts on several places 'cause people would think by them that I'm a dude.)
