またまた2週間以上もブログをサボってしまいました
I didn't write my blog for over 2 weeks again.
でも本当にこのところ忙しいんですよ～
But I've been really busy lately.
先週からまた新たな企業内研修が始まったのでその教材とレッスン内容作りがあることと、
We started new classes in a company in Tokyo last week, and I've been busy creating lesson plans and materials.
TOEIC対策の個人レッスンの生徒さんが急に増えたことが主な理由です。
Another reason is that I have more TOEIC test preparation lessons with my private students now.
TOEICは皆さんご存知でしょうか。
Do you all know TOEIC test?
英語力を計る国際的なテストですが、これで苦しんでいる方は本当にたくさんいらっしゃいますね
It is an international test to measure one's English competency, and many people are struggling with this test.
990点満点で、600点くらい取れるようになると、自分一人でも勉強出来るようになると思いますが、500点未満のうちはなかなか一人では
スコアアップは難しいですね。The full score is 990, and the people who can get 600 or over are able to study on their own, but for those who score under 500 points, it is difficult to improve their scores without help.
でも、スコアアップに一番重要なのは
I believe though the most important factor to improve your score is
私は「気」だと思います。
the spirit.
TOEICもスポーツの試合と同じです。
TOEIC is just like a game of sports.
まずは「勝つ」という気持ちが大事。
そして2時間の間プレッシャーに負けず、集中力を持続させること。
さらに「試合相手を知る」こと。
First of all, you must want to win.
Secondly, you must keep your concentration under the pressure for 2 hours.
You must also know your opponent.
試合の度に相手の手の内を読み、パターンを掴んで行けばいつかは必ず勝てます。
If you learn your opponent's tactics and patterns as you play each game, you will win a victory eventually.
自分を信じて頑張ってください
Believe in yourself and go for it!
