My Summer Vacation

Hello!

     Today, I'll talk about my summer vacation. I think almost all of you enjoyed your summer time. But I spent most of the summer vacation in studying English to take TOEIC test.

     First, I want to tell you why I decided to take TOEIC. TOEIC is a good opportunity to improve English skills and will be a big advantage when I start looking for jobs in the future. But these are minor reasons. The main reason is that it was a reasonable excuse to quit my part-time job.  I had worked at restaurant until August. But it was too busy and I thought I couldn't work any more. So I told the manager that I would quit the job in order to get a qualification.

     I used mock exams to prepare for the actual test.  At first, my score was not so good. It is hard to answer all questions because TOEIC requires speed and accuracy. But I reviewed over and over, my score was gradually better. At the last practice exam, my score was over 850 (full score is 990 ).

    However, I couldn't do my best in the actual test... Although the time was running out, I didin't answer some questions. I makred some answers randomly in the end :(

    Official score certificate will arrive in next month. I'm looking for it.
