a. Oct.30th, I studied to focus on listening. Listening which I studied in the ALC Net Academy 2 are level 3. And I was interviewed to Jana in the last class, I was told to change reading level from level 1 to level 2. Then I changed my reading level to 2.In listening, I changed how to study. Listened the topic many times, and finally eracing the sentences just focus on listening. I found that it was difficult to listen some words which I could see when I listen to while watching the sentences.
I listened very hard, so listening part is longer than routine work. Listening studied about 45 minutes, and reading part studied about 30 minutes.
Reading also took time because it was a little difficult. I read slow compared with level 1 by any means.


b. It was very tired... Because I used all my brain mare than usual. Reading leveled 2 is a little difficult, but I want to try it more and more.

c. I learned new grammar because in listening, I tried blind listening. There were many discovery.

d. I think I continue this challenge, blind listening. In TOEIC listening, we cannot see the statements. So I believe this is a good strategy to take TOEIC examination.

a. Oct.21, I studied in Net Academy 2. Listening about 35 minutes and Reading about 30 minutes.listening tried level 3 again, and Reading tried level 1 and 2.

b. It was difficult to read in level 2, but listening leveled 3 and reading leveled 1 are OK. In leveled 2 reading, my reading speed slow suddenly. ( In level 1 reading, I can read the sentences which speed are about 180! But in level 2, I read sentences which speed are about 120...)
Because it may be I assume level 2 is more difficult than level 1. So I want to reduce distance between variant levels.

c. I learned some new vocabularies remain last week. I put these word on my vocabulary list sheet.

d. My reading skill is very limited, I want to try to read many times and I want to be able to read more faster.

a.In October 14th class,  I studied reading the first level about 40 minutes and listening the third level about 25 minutes on ALC Net Academy2. Reading's WPM was about 120~150.I studied first level, therefore I could read faster than I thought in my mind.Listening, I tried to listen "faster" many times. It was very hard to understand "faster" first try, but within a few times I could understand what speaker said little by little.I want to try more topic in the ALC Net Academy2.

 b.It was very interesting because I had a profitable time in the class. I stayed focus the training tool.
 c.This time, I learned  some new words such as overdo, hostility. I think I should write down these words in my Vocabulary list, and I must remember that. 
 d. I thought I have a limited vocablary, so I must utilize Net Academy2 and the Vocabulary list.

1. What are your language goals?
I want to make use of my educated skill for a job.

2. How is your English now?

① Skills: reading, writing, speaking, listening
My reading speed is too slow...
Writing is bad because my vocabulary scanty.
I like speaking but I cannot speak English fluency.
Maybe listenig is the best skill now I have.But it isn't very good.

② Language: pronunciation, vocabulary, idioms, grammar
When I was in the junior high school, I trained many pronunciation so I have a little assurance.
My number of the vocabularies and idioms are scarce...
I think grammar is very important to do anything but I don't understand it sufficiently. 

③ Fluency: reading quickly, understanding spoken English
I cannot reading quickly, but I can understand spoken English up to a certain extent.

3. What do you need to do to reach your goals?
I should read many books or newspapers written by English to enrich my vocabulary. And I should listen to spoken English not only in Net Academy 2. Of course I should take this class hard.

4. What is your plan for this class (how will you use this class to help you reach your goals)?
Reading quickly using the function of Net Academy 2 systems. And Listening correctly using fast or faster in Net Academy 2.
