She explained each terms and meaning of the score. I was really surprised at the score. It was better than I expected. She gave me an advice that I should keep learning, and using new vocabulary and phrases. I tend to use vocabulary and phrases that I know. It is far more comfortable for me to write or speak than using something new, as you know. Lately, I feel that it is much easier for me to speak or write in English than before.
I kept hearing my colleagues complaining these days. What were they complaining about? They had to write e-mails to their clients in English. They read aloud, and asked some help from their colleagues. I felt sorry for them but felt relieved at the same time. I didn’t have to write something in English for my work. I had a chance to give a presentation to one of our clients, but it was canceled. I remembered that I felt ill at that time. My GTEC score tells me that I can manage that situation. The only problem is I don’t have a confident, that’s all. The clerk at school told me that it was quite common reaction.
Japanese always drew back, like “that is too difficult for me to handle”. I understood what she was telling me, but having confident is not easy to do.
Ok, today’s proverb is “Rome was not built in a day.”
