Talk About A Personal Experience [Speaking Test]
During the English test, I have to talk about my personal experience in 60 seconds. There will be a question like "Talk about a time when you went to a party", and I have to think about a story in 30 seconds. I don't come up with any memorable party, but I made up like this:
My most memorable party is my graduation party of college. All of the students of my department attended the party. During the party, we saw the pictures of our college life. It reminds us our good memories. At the end of the party, some students made a short speech about our college life. We laughed while listening to it, but later we started to cry because we'll miss each other.
It was a best party that I've ever had. I'll never forget about it.
(私の一番印象に残っているパーティー：
私が一番印象に残っているパーティーは、大学の卒業パーティーです。私の学科の学生全員が参加しました。パーティーでは、学生生活で撮った写真をみんなでみました。とてもいい思い出がよみがえりました。パーティーの終盤では、何人かの学生が学生生活を振り返って短いスピーチをしました。みんな笑いながら聞いていましたが、その後、別れを惜しんで涙を流してしまいました。
そのパーティーは今までで一番のパーティーでした。ずっと忘れないと思います。 )
I want to describe more detail, but I can't come up with it. "It reminds us our good memories" sounds too simple, but I have no idea how to decorate my story. I need more practice.

Giving An Advice [Speaking Test]
I have to prepare for my English test which will be scheduled on the end of October. I'll use the result for my immigration process, so I really need a high score.
I have a big problem with speaking test. First of all, I can't form sentences correctly, but I have to think of what I want to say and say it clearly in 60 or 90 seconds.
One part of the test requires me to give someone advice. I'm not good at giving advice, but I must do that. Speaking is important, but first I want to correct my English. I'll try to write my advice.
On this situation, John wants some advice whether he should go to college or to work after he graduates from high school. Here's my advice:
John, I think you should go to the college after you graduate. It will be better study hard when you're still young because you can have a lot of choices of your life. You can just focus on your own life while you're still young. As you grow older, you might have to consider about your family or your future plan. It might can limit your choices of studying.
I understand you need to earn money for the college fee, but for another choice, you can also consider about scholarship. You can repay it after you graduate.
Either way, I hope you can make a good decision.
(私のアドバイス：
ジョン、私は卒業したら大学に行った方がいいと思うよ。若いうちに勉強しておいた方が、その後の選択肢も広がると思うし。年取ってからだと、親のこととか将来設計のこととかで、勉強すべき分野とかも制限されてきちゃうかもしれないから。
大学の費用が必要なのも分かるんだけど、奨学金を借りたりすることも検討してみたらどうかな。卒業したら返していけばいいじゃん。
どっちにしても、いい決断が出来るといいね！ )
I'm not good at giving advice ; ; Even in Japanese my advice is not concrete.

A heavy snow
I came home from Tokyo this morning. The concert was great, and I met two girls who came alone there. We had dinner together and shared our excitement. They said that they also had no friends whose have a similar taste of music of them so that they always go to concerts alone. Listening to foreign music is not very common thing here. Because of that, meeting people who like the same music is the priceless opportunity.
I'm going to Tokyo for a concert tomorrow again, but weather report says that a heavy snow will come tomorrow. Highways might be closed, so I'm really anxious about if I won't be able to arrive at the venue on time. Maybe I'll have to think of another way to go there. The concert was great, but now I'm too worried to bathing in the afterglow of the concert.

Complaining again...
I'm on my way to Tokyo for a concert. It'll be fun, but I had two irritating tasks yesterday. Both two tasks are left at the middle by the co-workers who quit our company last year. The clients were angry, so I apologized them although it was not my fault. People who are keep on working for this company always have to finish this kind of uncompleted tasks. Most of these uncompleted tasks are turned out after the clients can't stand any more, so we have to take priority on them no matter how much tasks we've already have. I know life is not always fun, but I'm fed up with completing these kind of unresponsible tasks...

Patrick Stump's tweets
Fall Out Boy's Japan tour will start from tonight. According to the member's twitter, they're already in Japan.
Last night, Patrick Stump, the lead singer, tweeted that he was glad to come back to Japan, in Japanese! Few months ago, he mentioned on his twitter that he was learning Japanese. At that time I thought he just paid a lip service to Japanese fan, but his Japanese seems to be a little improved from that time. Few months ago he tweeted that he couldn't understand the meaning of "おはようございます", but last night, he replied to Japanese fan in Japanese, and asked if snow write "雪" in kanji. His simple Japanese tweets are so cute that I couldn't stand it. (Can I use "I can't stand it" in a positive way?) He mentioned that he had been learning Japanese using many apps. I also saw a lot of happy English tweet from Japanese fan (including me!) which contain grammatical errors. As I reading these tweets, I felt again that what is important about communication is not to speak perfect language, but sending your feeling no matter there are some mistakes.
I hope he also speaks some Japanese at the concerts~ ( ˘ω˘ *)

The way I eat potato chips
I don't remember from since I started to do this, but I've come to eat potato chips with the chopsticks and pick up potato chips from the packages. Of course I realize most people don't do this, but I just want to keep my fingers clean from the oil and the salt.
At first it was a little awkward behavior to me。But at this point, I even can't think of using my hands to eat them. My sister used to always makes fun of me when I eat like this, but finally she started to do the same thing yesterday! From now on, this might be a new traditional for our family.

Self-development books
It's been about ten days since I made up my mind to read 100 books in my twenties. (At first I was trying to read 300 books, but I reduced it) According to my circulation, I'll have to read one book in three or four days, but I've read only one and two half‐read books since that day because I also have to study for TOEIC, though this may sounds like an excuse for being lazy.
I tend to influenced by other people very easily. Recently I feel like I'm lost in my career, so I really want to hear some phrase to encourage myself. Because of that, now I'm reading books which are called "Mr. Kashiwa Sato, is working interesting?" and "100 phrases you should listen to in your twenties to not to get lost in your career in your whole life". As I read the books, I'm starting to think that I would like to be a scrupulous person because Kashiwa says in his book that he wants to works with a scrupulous person, and I want to do a lot of incidental tasks because the other book writer says I should do it so that I'll be able to participate in a large project in the future.
However, I also started to feel that reading these kinds of self-development books don't have much meaning because when I'm working, I almost completely forgot what they said in the books.

After the party
This week, I'm going to Fall Out Boy's concert on Thursday and Saturday. At first they didn't announce Saturday concert, but since Thursday's concert was sold out, they added Saturday concert. If they had announced Saturday's concert earlier, I wouldn't buy the Thursday's one, but I've already bought both tickets, so I'm going to two concerts.
Every time I go to Tokyo for concert alone, I felt a little lonely when the concert ends. Most of the time I go to the concert alone because there's no one around me who like to listen to music. Sharing excitement after the concert might be the best part of the concert, but I won't be able to share it with no one. Maybe I should pick up a girl who comes to the concert alone and has the same loneliness as mine.

Vocabulary bank
I'm going to take TOEIC in March. I've already paid for that, so I have to study hard not to waste my money. It may sounds non sense, but I really want a high score despite I'm not a fluent English speaker yet. I actually think that TOEIC is not that hard though it'll be impossible for me to get enough score right now. Most of the questions are minimum knowledge, I think.
My biggest problem at this moment is lacking of vocabulary, so now I'm studying a lot of new words. If I could use those new words naturally, I'll be able to express same thing in a different way. Also, I believe that reading English issue will be less painful. I'm not sure if the day will come when I use the word like "Capillary" which is on the TOEIC frequent appearing vocabulary 2000 app, but it'll be better than not knowing, so I'm going to learn a lot more new words.
