闘う！英トレブログ

i haven't written anything here!!
what i was doing was studying for toeic till last month.
and i applied for 1st grade of eiken this time, so i've started studying for it.
but honestly, after i finished the last toeic, i was kinda released, and became soooooooooooooo lazy.
and today i thought i should've restarted studying again. that's why i'm writing this right now.

anyways, i'd lile to declare what i do for the coming test here.

��attempt to study for new vocab at least 1 hr a day
��attempt to study for listening at least 30 mins a day
��attempt to study for writing at least 30 mins a day

these're the things which i'd like to keep doing.
my weakest point is vocab, so hope i can improve it a lot before the test.

there are some of expressions which i heard from "friends".
i still have a loads of words i don't know!!
well, just keep studying!!...oh, my gosh

oh my gosh...
i've already missed one day...
if i can excuse for it, i've just been busy...well, but it doesn't matter.

anyways, what i did today is watching dvds of "friends". now i borrowed them from my colleague.
i knew the name of this sitcom. however, i hadn't seen it. fortunately one of my colleagues has 1st season's dvds. so i started watching.
and the thing is that it's really fun!! when i just started seeing it, i didn't feel it's so interesting. but as time passed, i'm able to get each characters' personality, and their relationship is going to change, which is very interesting, and i'm going to involve the story. last night, i couldn't help myself. so i just watched it till 2:30 a.m. because of this, this morning i was really terrible... i was so tired

what i did today is just listening to cd, and i spend my time for the 2nd exam of eiken pre-1st. but i don't think i had enough time for it.

today, i recorded my voice while i was talking about the story of the card, which was practice for eiken pre-1st. then, i realized i quite often say "so" so many times!! i just reminded when i was in canada, one of my teachers mentioned it. well, i have to be more careful. however, it became my habit now. it's difficult to make it.

and one more thing, i watched nhk english program. i really like some of them, so i try to watch the programs. today i had one of them. here are some vocab just i learned today.

☆riot=lol
☆blow a fuze
☆have a fit

i've just found this page.
i'll try to write my history of studying english everyday.
now, i'm trying to get eiken pre-1st. i passed the 1st exam, so i'll take 2nd one on 18th. after that, i'd like to try eiken 1st, and toeic.

<today's vocab>

i knew the expression, "hit the ceiling", but people also say "hit the roof".

we can use this for someone who can eat crazy amount of food.
