Attend TOEIC test
I attended TOEIC test today.The Test site was very near to my house, that it took only 30 minutes by walking.It seems very lucky, but you have to notice that it means you can't study the last chance in a train to the test site.Yesterday was Saturday and it was impossible to study without commuting period.By the way, I walked to the test site, bought a rice ball and a can of coffee and pencils on the way, and registered at 11:40.As soon as registration, I went outside, ate a rice ball, and look through the notebook I made to check up grammars.Instruction for the test starts at 12:20 and there is a little break from 12:35 to 12:45. I recommend ladies to go to rest room before 12:20, since rest rooms are always busy during this little break.When the test starts at 13:00, I turn the text to Part 4 to read through the questions during an instruction for part 1 is going. Done the same during an instruction for part 2 is going, but I had to be careful that instruction for part 3 is very short, not to miss the first question.Upon the end of the 45-mitute listening section, I began the reading section with Part 7, since I need to read the text calmly. When I finished Part 7, I had 40 minutes remain. Part 5 and Part 6 are grammar section with 60 questions. I solved each question in 30 seconds, that I had 10 minutes remaining when I finished part 5 and 6.I reconsidered the checked question which I didn't had confidence.I think I have done my best and I can't wait the result to come.

I had to take a taxi.Every time I drunk too much, I swore I will never ever over-drunk again. But everyone knows those promise would never be kept. Ah…

Vocabulary Cartoons II
This is the second book of Vocabulary Cartoons(supposed YL:8 supposed words:27,000 Total words:6,068,924)This book also contains 290 words commonly found in national SAT tests. The words in this edition are equal to the words found in Vocabulary Cartoons.To remember the words written in this book, it is not sufficient to read it only once.I found it very useful to review it several times within several days of intervals.Once you make a linkage between main words, linked words and cartoons, you can't forget the meaning of the words!

Xenocide
Xenocide (Unabridged Audio)Author: Orson Scott CardNarrator: Scott Brick, Gabrielle de Cuir, Amanda Karr, John Rubinstein, and Stefan RudnickiUnabridged Fiction Audio Length: 19 hours and 54 min.Got from audible.comReading speed：partially fastRecommendation rate：★★★(Synopsis)This is the third installment on the Ender Wiggen series.In previous book of "Speaker for the Dead", Ender wandered around the space to find appropriate planet to revive the Hive Queen.At last he reached a planet named "Lusitania", where another alien "piggies" lives.Ender at last discovered the mysterious life cycle of piggies, ratified a contract, released the Hive Queen, and "Lusitania" became a precious word of tripartite culture.However, in "Xenocide", the starways congress sent a fleet to destroy every habitants of Lusitania in the fear of spreading fatal virus called "descolada".How could Ender and Lusitanins stop those fleet destroying their planet?Are there any ways to humans and buggers and piggies to live?(Review)When the previous book, Speaker for the Dead, was a mystery of biology, this book, xonocide, is a story of philosophy.Where have our conscious come form? What does faith mean?How can we live with totally alien cultures?Though with heavily philosophical story, author done excellent job in writing that it is not boring at all but very exiting through whole story.But I have to warn you that this is actually a first part of long story. If you listen this book, you can't miss next book "Children of the Mind"!

A baby sitter for day costs only 500 yen. Can you believe it!?Of course, the sea is full of marine life and good for diving.If you are interested in diving, please visit my web site (Sorry, the site is Japanese only).
