自由の風が吹く場所で ～Letter from Stanford～
2012年秋からStanford GSBにて新たなチャレンジが始まります！
Last weekend, I bought engagement ring in Ginza, which is one of the most fashionable city in Japan. Although I'm not so rich that I can buy expensive gem, my fiancé contented with the ring, which made me happy. In fact, yesterday is the last day I can receive before "Yuinou", which is one of the ceremonies of wedding process because the store takes around 5 weeks to fit gem and adjust size to my fiancé.
Of course, along with the wedding process, I must study English for TOEFL. Now, I go to TOEFL speaking class in Tokyo. I think it is the best speaking class in Japan. Although the class is very demanding, because I can recognize improvement of my skill, I decide to follow his advice completely. For example, I use dictation to improve my listening skill and use shadowing to improve my intonation, pronunciation, and expressions. According to his advice, I don’t try to shadow a lot of sentences but I should concentrate on no more than 2 or 3 sentences at once, which enables me to recognize intonation and pronunciation of model speaker. So, I dictate 2 to 3 sentences and then, shadow these sentences carefully. I expect this training will lift my speaking score from 18 to 24 or even 26 in this year. Actuary, my teacher anticipated that I'm close enough to get over 20 in several tests.
Within these several months, my life will change dramatically. I expect my happy days. I must make my fiancé happy, too. I'm confident that it is not very difficult for me.
