22:25-

At last, tomorrow is the day of the exam of Eiken. I did the last past exam as a practice, and the result was bit lower than the passing line, and time is bit shorter than enough to write for appropriate length in Part 4 essay, I think. In the end, there was a very little progress than last year.

But I actually feel there is a broad progress compared to last year...The reading speed has become completely different level thanks to constant reading those Japanese light novels translated to English. And listening accuracy is also improved fairly well. Though I can't hardly understand detailed storyline when I watched those Hollywood movies, I can pretty well understand the whole news in the news such like CNN student news and most of Japanese anime and cartoon movies.

Now I'm 38 years old, but I feel I can pass the exam until I reached my 40s. For now, all I need now is retain my English abilities and progress it little by little. Probably I should start reading English novels written and authored by westerners this year, but the problem is those English novels are usually not so much fun to me...There is an actual culture gap on here, maybe.

Overall, I did a great effort this time! Maybe from tomorrow on, I would stop update this diary again, but I want to leave here that I've worked hard and you can make a progress while you feel you're getting old!

While I hearing "Zero!!" of "The Devil is a Part-Timer!" on youtube. Oh, I hear it in full-length for the first time. There're new things every day in the life.
