Essay 2-03a: How to study English in my high school days

 

When I was high school student, I studied English very hard because I had entrance exam for universities. Actually, I wanted to go other public university. Now, I go to Kumamoto Gakuen University. It is not the school which I wanted to go. I would like to tell you about how to study English. I think that it has three important points of my studing.

First of all, I studied a lot of words. I needed to have English vocabulary for passing entrance exam, so I bought English words card and studied over and over. Then, if I had unmemorable cards, I wrote words and pronounce again and again. The other way was listening to CD of pronouncing many English words. I have a book which called "Yumetan". It meant that "your dream can realize!". What a funny name the book was! The book was used by my English class of my school. Sometimes I had a quiz in the class, so I studied very hard!

Second, I had to read long sentence. In common English exam, it was made long sentence. However, it was the hardest for me to read long English sentence, so I practice reading long sentence any number of times. Sometimes, I was taught some hangs by my teachers. I became more and more read better reading English long sentence than before.

Finally, I had to write English composition. I needed to write English sentences in 2nd exam for public university. One of the hang was using simple words, and make simple English sentences. I changed the questions of Japanese to simple Japanese, and changed Japanese to English. Then, the Japanese sentences should be easy for making English sentences. The other hang was nothing, anyway, I made them and corrected right sentences.

In addition, when I was 2nd grade of high school, I listened to radio for study English. It was very basic and simple, but I reviewed basic English. The radio's channel was broadcasting every ordinary day. I listened to the channel every time.

As a result, although I could not go the school I wished, but it is good choice that I go to Kumamoto Gakuen University. It is precious experience that I studied all subjects very hard. I will make use of the experience to the full, and I hope I will get a job.
