final exam days

hey guys, how are you doing??

I'm preparing for IELTS exam. Finally it's tomorrow but I really feel nervous... I know feeling nervous is meaningless but just doing best is required. I want to,,, I need to mark at least 6.5 band. It's not so high but sometimes I'm feeling difficulties about that. If I can do my best automatically I will get 6.5 band but it depends on my condition... I should have confidence anyway!!

Sometimes I'm bothering the thing that I am Japanese so it is difficult to master English. Only a few Japanese people who have special ability can speak English very well. But it is kind of excuse, I believe. Everyone can do that,,, probably.

However, everyone need to get good English skill to get good job, in India. some a few Indian are very good at English language in stead of their mother tongue. I mean they are very good English user but not their mother tongue or local language. that is a problem because without one's own culture no one can understand one's culture, tradition, and habit.

To master other foreign countries language is great opportunity to broaden our horizons, isn't it? Because it's very tough work and there are many difficulties to overcome it. But after overcoming the hardships we can get a new world, I mean there is opportunity to know other country's culture, habit, or something else. Not only for that, we can understand hardships of foreign language leaner. So we shall overcome it and enjoy on the way.

Cheers :)

We need strong sense of mission to survive in this country...

Hello everyone!

It has been a long time to write a blog...

anyway, three weeks later I will leave India. Finally I will finish the studying in India!! It makes me sad just little. Because I have been making so many Indian friends fortunately. I really appreciate for BSG members... I will miss all of them.

I have studied a lot of things from them like sense of mission, attitude to seek the relationship between mentor and disciple.I am feeling great deep gratitude. But I also have sense of mission to talk about this wonderful experiences to my friends, especially to my friends who cannot go to study abroad due to some difficulties. We all have great mission, don't we? I think to share my experiences are helpful to make us broaden our horizons. I mean, it is not only for my friends but also me. I hope my friends will get great impression and am sure that I can feel my mission thanks to sharing my experiences. That is why I think to share the Indian life give us strong sense of mission.

Anyway, I will give my best shot for IELTS exam and go back to Japan safe.
I will win and shall win absolutely. Thank you for reading.

Cheers :)

Do Practise and Work

Hey guys! How are you doing?
I'm good.
I have difficulties to explain about something in English.
In British Council, there are many Indian speakers.
They can speak a lot on the surface. I'm not talking about their pronunciation or some other skills but just attitude. Their argument skill is very strong.
I can't speak like them so far. But I don't want to be defeated due to such a miserable thing.
I talked about that to my friend. Then, he said "Chant and study hard, then definitely you will overcome.". Completely I agree with his idea. Even though I think for a lot of times, the situation will not be change. Of course, sometimes, to think about anything is important. However, on this occasion, I should take action for the changing. I should practise and study, again and again. That is the only way to break through to new stage. Don't you think so? I think like that.
Anyway, I will do my best! I have only a month and half in India!
How about you? What is your struggle at the moment?

Cheers :)

Indian Traffic and Protection

Good evening everyone!

Today I have attended the British Council class.
Unfortunately my bus with a taxi.
But fortunately it was not so serious.
I think it was happened because of the driver's lack of concentration obviously.
When the bus clashed to the taxi, I just saw the forward.
There was the taxi definitely but the drivers started to accelerate.
Because he did not look forward but the right side stupidly.
Then it happened.
I think there are many traffic accident everyday.
Because Indian traffic is appalling.
Of course this country is developing so there is no choice.
Some job is decided as for poor people like a driver, a deliver, a cleaner or something.
Therefore there is lack of moral and discrimination about the job.
I really appreciate for the protection. I could get the place safely.

Indian life is totally different from my country.
There are many difficulties but certainly this is a precious experience for me.
Without difficulties how can I get a successful experience?
I should overcome these difficulties and will broaden my horizons!
Still I have a problem to explain about my thinking in English...

ok then, see you there!
Thank you for reading.
Cheers!

Determination for The Final Term of Studying in India

Hey guys! How are you doing?

My Study abroad life in India is becoming final term.
So I decided to take some English exam on March.
From the beginning, I have been thinking that I should take something to make my English skill measurable.
That is why, I decided to IELTS on 10th March.
I know my English skill is not enough to take good mark so far.
But I have one month more, you see...

To sum up, I always try to write my blog in English.
Generally I use "mixi" for writing blog because to use Japanese is comfortable for me, certainly.
However I am going to use this one from now on.
If I want to use mixi or some Japanese blog, I will write in English first of all.
Then I can translate it into Japanese.
I am not sure if it is helpful.
Because it is just out put working.
If someone give me advice, it must be nice.

I will do my best, anyway.
Thank you for the reading.
cheers :)

as a English as Second Language

Good evening everyone...

I have started new class at British Council. It is Saturday and Sunday at 1pm to 4pm!! It will probably be tough work but the classes are very nice. The class teacher is Indian but she is sincere professional English teacher I think. She is taking care for student's opinion. There was one student from Nepal. Exclude her and me, all of them are Indian and perhaps almost everyone is working person. There were only a few students.

Unfortunately my class is not advanced so far... My English skill is middle level still but there is no choice. I just try to have higher skill and train myself harder and harder. Someday I want to use English like mother tongue and have a communication with foreign person. Personally I think this is mission for us. In this century, English is important TOOL of communication. As you may know this is tool so way to use the tool is very important. I have been studying in Soka Education. I want to expand this wonderful philosophy to others. I want to talk about possibility of one person. "A great human revolution in the life of a single individual can change the destiny of an entire nation, and also the destiny of all humankind."

Anyway! I have to break through the middle level to touch the higher level! I will not give in to be English professional! I want to be the student who can work in English Forum. I'll keep on studying, anyway.

thank you, that's all.
Cheers!!

English for What?

Hello everyone!
Today, I talked with my friend who is studying in San Diego, California.
We discuss the accent of English.
The issue was how should Japanese people speak English?
In Japan, especially youth people tend to be speaking like American or British people.
However, nowadays, English is spoken all over the world.
There is Singlish, Indian accent, and many countries own their accent.
Even some Indian people try to get American or British accent.
Because It's easy to make others understand his/her English probably.

Then I'm confusing which accent I should follow.
At the moment, Japanese accent is not so famous, personally I think because it is general thing to get native speakers accent.
On the other hand, some famous person like Yukio Mishima speak with Japanese accent.
I think elder citizens tend to use heavy Japanese English.

In my opinion, to speak Japanese English (is so-called Janglish) is good thing.
Because that is one of national character.
I know there are some problem to communicate with other countries people but we all countries have each tongue and English is important to connect the world.
I mean, if there is not English how can we talk each other nowadays.
And the most important thing is not accent but what we talk.

But I know Japanese English is not easy to get understanding for foreigners.
That's the problem.... :(
I need more time to think about that.
What do you think about this thing??
Give me your idea. :)

cheers!
