Reflecting Eiken

Yesterday, I also took an EIken #1 in 2018. As a reflection of this examination, I would like to focus on two points which I have to overcome from now on.

First thing is my vocabulary size. In the reading section, I realized that I did not have enough vocabulary to solve those questions. Therefore, I was not able to not answer some of the questions.

Second is my English writing skill. Since I spent most of my time thinking of the contents, I was not able to finish up my writing. From this experience, I truly knew the lack of my background knowledge.

I learned from this test that I should increase my vocabulary size and the background knowledge by making the best use of the newspapers and journals. (Otoyo)
