Level up !?
March 27, 2006
Yesterday the head teacher of the English school I attend gave me a recommendation(推薦状 すいせんじょう) of being a level 4 student. Yes ! I did it !
I was soooooo excited(wired ?) when he gave me the paper !
やったー!(I did it !)うれしいぃぃ!(I'm so happy !)
But I have to take a test in order to be a level 4 student. I'd like to say "I aced it" after the test. The paper is sort of a requirement for taking the test.
"I aced it" : I found out this phrase and "ace out" in one of the email magazines(newsletters) which I often read on my cell phone.
Wow ! When you google this phrase, my blog comes up as the number one !

To tell the truth... When he gave the paper, I made merry like a child who get a perfect score on a test. And then, I made a mistake when another female teacher gave me her congratulations. I wanted to reply like this - "Thank you for teaching ! I did it !" But I replied, "Thank you for teaching ! I got it !" Oops ! I could have replied, "I did it !" My poor speaking skill often irritates(bothers, annoys) me...(ToT) I lost the confidence to level up...haha. I may fail the test which I'm going to take next Sunday.
As a matter of fact, my speaking skill and my vocabulary are still very poor. I might should be pleased when I become a level 3 student. Of course I know it's more important to talk smoothly in English than to level up. Anyway, the paper motivates me and makes me proactive.
I'll keep going ! Thanks for your teaching, all the teachers !

乾杯!
Your written English is great, so I'm sure your speaking skills are not that bad! Maybe if you have some spare time, you can download and watch American TV shows:

You will learn many expressions and conversation patterns from watching TV.
Hi jd,
Thanks for your cheers ! I'll try it later. Good to know.
Watching TV is a good way to learn any languages, isn't it ?
See ya.
