study abroad:62:101113:Reading comprehension
How do I improve reading comprehension? Was a serious question to my teacher. In generally it depends on how many book has someone ever read but it seems to nature problem for me from my findings based on my academic experience. I will describe that I have to do as routine work from now on.
It is obviously my reading skill is far lower than other sections on academic assessment by English school. Incidentally what is the reason why my reading skill is not high? What is the higher skill which accepted level to enroll in University in Australia?
Firstly I have not been really like reading from adolescent. So I couldn’t gain high score on reading rest ever sadly. In addition that I have not been known how do I improve my reading skill and I have never felt I like reading or fun to read on academic section whereas I love business books which written by president of leading company. I had better try to read a heap of book which is more nearly in my interest.
This is mysterious for someone who never taken a lecture in University. How difficult are they? Even if someone can read a whole newspaper, business book, and other magazines, it’s might not meet the standard. Put it another way, academic reading is different from the other reading stuff as above. Either way I must read a lot for catching up the higher level educational of Post Graduate University.
study abroad:61:101111:Missing the forest
Occasionaly we stuck in something bad, put it anotherway its in dungeon without realizing on role playing game. The best way to get out from there is cool down and looking for Exit which is not flash always. The another way is 'Missing the forest for the tree'. Unfortunately not anyone can find out the door soon while someone can rock it easy who called mature I think.
I've lost a precious person just a while time ago. When I was stuck in sth I couldn't change my mind properly as a result of this, I caused the worst end on our trivial but blissfull fantastic voyage.
Once I mess up and angry with sth nobody can stop it sadly. Who can adress this excentric boys' attitude? THe answer is should I calm down myself definitely! I recognized again that I shouldn't relay on someone especially when I'm in the serious situation such as make a big decition, on the other hand I must open mind to anyone for gaining positive effect or helpfull advice. Believe in myself; believe in my friends who can talk evrything; and sometimes trust someone encountered on the street or somewhere even if it's short term.
If I did stuck in something bad, don't focus on the only one thing but look around over all.

英語学校は、グローバルビレッジシドニーには行ってはいけません。まあ行く人いないと思うけどー。
やっちゃいました。今日から新しい準備クラスが始まる予定だったのですが、今日受けたクラス分けテストの結果が悪く、予定していたクラスより下のクラスになりました。事前に受けたテストがあるのですが、それは点が良かったから予定していたクラスに仮入部状態だったのですが。だから事前に30万も払って、早めにシドニーに来たのに。初めてこのクソ学校を訪問した日も避難訓練で学校でテストが受けれず、結局外で受けた為、今回改めてテストを受けることになったのです。縁がないというか、こういう運命になることってたまにあると思う。他に合格した学校があったのでこんな学校選ばなければ良かった・・・ その時に中途半端なテスト受けさせるようなことして生徒だけ確保しといて後から最初よりも難しいテスト、結局評価が厳しくなり、通常想定していたよりも長く受けなくてはならないことになる、そうすると学校が銭儲けするだけじゃねえか。なんか小便みたいな商売してやがってよ。煮え切らない感じなので、どうにかその学校には行かない方法を考えています・・・ 今日、朝一で学校のスタッフどおしのコミュニケーションミスがあり、テストを中途半端な状態で受けることになり、時間は後から延長してもらったものの、なんだか想定していなかったことが起きたので普通より神経質になってしまったー。外人だけなら許せる場合もあるかもしれないけど、日本人のファッキン死にぞこない糞ババアがいるのにこのザマだよ。なんかこうなってくるとなんだかここまでしてアカデミック英語とやらをやっている意味がわからなくなるわ。普段使う英語と違うんだよね、特に読みとか。簡単にいうとウザイ感じ。今まで我慢してやってきたけど、アカデミック英語なんてっ働きだしてから糞の役にもたたんのでもう二度とやりたくないわ。ただ英語力を伸ばすだけに大学院で興味あることを勉強したいだけなのに、馬鹿だからアカデミック英語ごときでつまずいているのがなんだか情けないのも正直なところ。馬鹿はほんと嫌だなぁ。あぁやっぱ馬鹿コンプレックスが抜けないなぁ。せっかくの前進だったのに、クソつまらんファッキンシドニーにわざわざ来たのに後退している感じすらあるわ。悩んでても仕方ないので明日から気持ち切り替えて違う学校探しに励みたいと思います。どちらにしても来年2月からの予定通りの最短での大学院の入学は厳しいことになりました。ほんとどいつもこいつも馬鹿で嫌になります。過去最悪のブログでしたね^^
study abroad:58:101106:Target
I'll go to Macquarie University for studying Master of International Relations from February next year. This is the reason why I'm here on Sydney also going to preparation course at language school. I have to do some tasks before getting into Uni so I'll write down them following.
Firstly, don't have to say much but I must get a ticket (certificate) on EAP 4 class (preparation school) which has direct passway to the MQ Uni that's goiing to start from next Monday in the city.
Almost the same as important as frist thing that I must improving my English skills not only focus on one section but also every section such as Speaking, Writing, Reading, Listening, Vocablaly and stuff. In my case, I must give reading comprehension first priority because I'll suppose to read tons of reports in Uni what's more I'll out put my idea on report with fine writing skills. Therefore I must know the gramatically, logicaly, structurally reports beforehand.
Another significantly point is following my heart. I did heaps of study in Melbourne includes drinking activity (lol). Important mentality is how confidence in myself. Occasionally I'd pray for fortune at shrine in Japan.
To sum up my aims are both enroll in the MQ Uni and graduate the MQ Uni. Definitely after that I'll have to get the appropriate job... For achieve these objectives I'm going to get in preparation course incidentally I hopefully meet good fellows at school.
study abroad:57:101104:Brainwashed
We don't have any special relision generally in Japan but I think we are already brainwashed by sth without we realizing. For instance Blunt, Tabaco, Sex, Chocolate, Gamble and Beer. Don't have to say on purpose, I seem to adicted to beer without....
Btw this is marely a murmur in my mind, my soul is screaming 'Beer & Snacks' likewise. Therefore I bought box of Hollandia beer at bottle shop nearby my place only $32 includes 24 bottles, put it onother way approximately $1.4 each!! These are no hops beer, genuin authentic beer probably from Holland (lol).
To change the subject, I almost quit smoking, when I nnotice the incident that reduce smiking without... No there smoking in my desire circuit (inaccurate expression?). Just I wanna have a smoking is when someone smoking next to me specially at a pub. I've been feel comfy from when I reduce smoking anyhow.
Incidentally what I wanna say in this blog is 'I need a BEER' that's it. I've not been drink this week actually.
study abroad:56:101103:City feat something
Melbourne means Flinders Street Station which has both historical and vivid building. Sydney is Opera House which held a big concert or musical in other wards the most famous building in Australia. What's advantage of feature site between Melbourne and Sydney for tourist, let's find out!
Melbourne is the second biggest city in Australia also the southest million city in the world. Population is 3.8 million that is one forth of population of Tokyo. Famous building is not only one but Exbition Building which is built in late 1800 for global sumit incidentaly Ex Building is one of majestic world heritage site in Australia. We can't forget the main future that big sports event is held in Melbourne. Especially tennis, hourse race, foot ball are definitely famous in the world.
By contrast, Sydney's population is 4.4 million what's more called the most beautiful city in theworld. Indeed I don't think so. But Sydney has a big advantage compared to Melbourne. Olympic was held in 2000. To begin with this city is quite famous though, this huge event widespread the name of Sydney in the world. It's not too much say that Sydney's fire works is one of the most popular new year eve event on earth happend around the bay side.
To sum up these two cities, both glamoous and famous for sth in the world. In my opinion, I prefer Melbourne cos I have many friends and love the atmosphere on the Melbourne city.
study abroad:55:101102:Gloomy Mood 2
It's gonna start on Monday next week, my language preparation class in Sydney.
I did take a entrance exam but I'll have to take it again on first day which test has four sections Listening, Writing, Reading, Speaking. I've gotten a conditional offer from this school such as Macquarie Uni that's why I've been feeling gloomy its not too deep though. I convinced that nobody likes academical study you did in high school or university whereas we like study something relate to current concern or it'll direct to our promotion at company. That's dilemma between enthusiasm for being educated high sense person and have to hand my assignment untill due date at school day likewise.
I wanna eager to shift my studing style academic to practical as soon as possible because I know that practical training gives far more better experience than academic studying from my real business findings. Occasionally someone who misunderstand how important practical business experience is. Indeed that's true, it's not too much to say that practical several times as important as academic study. However I must aquired better understanding about English spend a year and half from now on.
Imagine I'll unable to enroll in Uni in Feb, its misery tragedy disaster, so I always image the hopefuly brightly successfully future. I believe that visually imaging is the best way which makes our anxious to exactly feasible stuff ^ ^
study abroad:54:101101:Melbourne Cup
It seems to day off tomorrow, no tomorrow is definitely holiday in Melbourne VIC. I'm Sydney NSW though.
I confess honesty that I'm not much into horse race however this time is very special day in a year. Because local government established 'National Holliday' every second November due to horse race in addition every Australian people pay attention to this race. Even though we don't know whether game is big, we must've heard that name 'Melbourne Cup'.
According to reference, Japanese jocky won the game in 2006' Melbourne Cup. Ofcourse I've not known it though its awsome isn't it? How do we beat the other competitor from overseas in finest day which is national holliday in that country? If I put it in my shoes, I can hardly imagine it.
Somehow I think I'll be able to win the game tmr, I usually lucky when I gambling in Melbourne indeed I got a pocket money in the biggest AFL final game 2010'. We predicted who grab the MVP/First goal/Last goal? then I got win twice, out of 15 friends in there. Fataly I've never bought a horse race ticket in Melbourne^ ^ I'll try to buy a ticket with my friends help at TAB in Sydney.
study abroad:53:101029:ラーメン
Origin of 'Ramen' is Japanese pronunciation. But origin of Japanese Ramen is Chinese 'Ramien'. It is widely accepted that Ramen is Japanese noodle while Chenese noodle is different from it. I'll discribe about a couple of noodles as below with abandon.
My first choice is SOBA which is represent Japan. SOBA is made from wheat its depend on type of wheat though. Usually gray colour and fancy flavor especially fresh fluffy one. Also dip sauce is depend on area but in generally soy dashi with soy sauce with spring onion, ginger, wasabi and stuff.
Second favorite is PAD THAI, in other words THAI stir flyed soba. This kind of noodle is made from rice. Looks ibory white color its almost no flavor. At a asian market we can easily find out rice noodle which has to soak in the hot water 5 min to 6min after that drain out bofore cook it. I confess honesty I don't know how to cook it properly so you should check it out on the web.
Laksa is lovely. Unfortunately it seems to hard to make start from scratch. You can buy laksa paste at the asian market as well. If you get it the other ingredients are easy to grab next door. Mainly coconats milk, flyed noodle (broad/thin), flyed tofu, chicken and spring onion. Finally I'll give you a advice before eating laksa, its oily because of oily paste and ingredients. You must be imagine it naturally however those ingredients add awsome aroma and fabulous taste.
