I should write something before I forget. I passed the exam. It was an effort continuing for three years, so now I rather bewildered what should I do hereafter. Maybe I should start learning Chinese from now on. Anyway, now I'm free from those curse-like restriction, to avoid to consume anything Japanese contents, including subtitles on Hollywood movies, thus movies themselves. I think that level of constraint actually looked absurd, but anyway, now it was dissolved.

First thing I wanted to do after passing the test was to through away all text books for English study guide. But this weekend I didn't have much time to do that, so they are still occupying considerable spaces in my bookshelf. Besides, learning English will still be continued since I have to renew my TOEIC score in January next year, however, this time I have only listening and reading test, so now I can stop writing practice already, this entry will be the last I ever post using English.

After all, even you passed the Eiken 1st grade exam, your English proficiency is about the same level of native English speaker's middle schooler's. You certainly can't understand all what they say in CNN Student News, news program for middle and high schooler, you can't understand all translated Japanese anime, and you can't understand almost all of lines on English movies, when actors say more than three sentences consecutively for explaining things. This is really a limit for me, unless I abandoned to live in Japan, move to some English speaking countries.

But, I do hope one day, if I want to remember how I feel right after pass the exam, this entry can help to regain memories.

The words are almost 300 already. This is the last entry for my English writing practice.
