Taking Eiken

I took Eiken 1st grade today. Actually, I didn't do it well. There were lots of unfamiliar words for me. Obviously, I didn't study for the test.

I'll try to get the 1st grade near future. For starters, I'll get more and more English vocabulary. I'll start from now on.

Weekly English Newspaper

I subscribed a weekly newspaper, The New York Times Weekly Review. I used to read daily English news paper or weekly magazine, TIME. It was way hard for me. I couldn't read only a tenth of them. I looked for suitable English material to me and I thought weekly newspaper would be good. 

The weekly paper is collecting articles from American newspaper, The New York Times. Originally, the articles are for American, not for English learners. I have glanced over the first arrived issue and found that they didn't use super big word in the paper. That's best for me. 

I've just decided to take Eiken 1st-grade. It's definitely hard task for me, but I believe that at least reading authentic English helps me for the test.
