Message from uncle August03

TOEIC average at 4 times since 2013 was 755 (Listening 411, Reading 344). I really break out the wall of 800 and wish to get over 840 which is a point for licensed guide. This is one of tool to improve English, I believe.

Took Test of IELTS

I found other English learning site by free of charge.
IELTS International English Language testing system(IELTS:アイエルツ)
They say that moer than 2.9milion people took this test in 2016. 
They provide some of test on site, so I took one of them. 

This is about what I thought after took this test.
1.  vocabulary   
     the area I know is limitted. and In order to get good score 
     for this kind of test, I need to learn (memorise) variety of words/vocabulary  
     from many kind of area.  I must do, and I want to , but in realistic view, 
     it would not be easy. almost impossible. 
     what I realize is that it would be better to focus some specific area which 
     I am interested in. 
2. purpose
    the purpose I lean English is for Job I would like to work and travel abroad.
    It would be efficient to learn words/vocabulary from the area relating to them. 
3.  long way
    One of my target to learn English is to get the score over 850 at TOEIC.
    and to make my dream come true, learning many kind of vocabulary from  
    variety area will be MUST.  so, I have to keep learing words from many area.
    this is not consistent with above 1.  I know it, but that is why I am struggling.

Cambridge English - took a test

There are a lot of useful site to learn English. This would be one of that.
[ Cambridge English ] and at first page They are asking to take TEST. 
This test is checking current my ability for English, mainly for Grammer. 
I did and Result was  16/25 (accuracy rate 64%).
No doubt,  this is current my level...... very similar to TOEIC result. 


The places I made mistake are below, 


- When a car pulled out in front of her, Jane did well not to ...... control of her bicycle.
   I selected [ miss ] , but correct was [ lose ] 
   LOSE control means not to lost mind .


-The builders are ...... good progress with the new house.
  I selected [ doing ] , however, correct was [ make good progress ]


-...... you get your father's permission, I'll take you skiing next weekend.
 answer was [ Provided]     
 I admire I am poor This kind of grammatical knowledge.  


- I really enjoy stories that are ...... in the distant future.
  answer was [ set ] ......set in 


-Anyone ...... after the start of the play is not allowed in until the interval.
 I selected arrived, but correct was [ arriving]  


-The judge said that those prepared to...... in crime must be ready to suffer the consequences.
 [ engage in ]    idiomatic / set phrase  .... I know where I have to study more. 



based on this test result,  Cambridge English suggested to study the course
of Cambridge English: Preliminary (PET) or Cambridge English: First (FCE)


after took this test and result,  site shows [ BOOK  EXAM] 
It looks They are offering Actual Test....... what are those ?


(I am doing downloading sample test from some site organizing Cambridge Test
in Japan.  It look similar to TOEIC, I guess and the exam fee is so expensive.
by knowing that,  I am going  just to get sample test and practice them again )
