After taking TOEIC practice exam, I wanted to know much more about TOEIC.
Above of all, TOEIC® Speaking Test!
Because I'm not going to get a job in any companies, I don't need "Official Score Certificate of TOEIC" to put on my resume.
Actually, TOEIC® Listening & Reading Test isn't related to my work and dairy life.
I'm studying English to speak with people from overseas about each other, and about the culture, social issues, what we think about them.
So, it isn't very important especially to get high score of TOEIC®Reading.
On the other hand, I think to study for TOEIC® Speaking Test is very usuful to me.
It shows me how to improve my basic English speaking skills gradually.

Actually, ① and ② motivate me to try it.
And after knowing TOEIC® Speaking Test, I found one content page named "speaking challenge".
In this page, a lot of English learners challenge to read a text.
Although each text takes only about 10 sec or less than it, I can distingish them.
There are a lot of ways of reading. One sounds like music, another sounds a connection of words.
To listen to various voices and expressions is my fun.
