English (This page is just automatically translated by machine-translator. I haven't checked it yet)

Most of people from Japan are not good at English. Although the Ministry of Education knows how students have learnt English under the Japanese educational system, junior-high, high, (and college), many doubt "what you have done about English language until your age."
On the T.V., even cartoon hiros such as `Salor Moon' speak English very fruently. If you had an experience to challenge for college entrance exams, you must not have to put much effort in order to brush up ordinary English conversation.

Toronto is the place where there are most English schools in Canada.
There are an English school which the Toronto city school board manages, a private English school, an English classroom in individual management. At the private English school, it is expensive in about 1000 $ 500 -$ in January.
Also, because the English power of the classmate is the same degree, there is not a great thing in the improvement of the English power at the thing except the school. The English classroom of the individual management had better do which degree the ability of the teacher is to attempt to ascertain. It is desirable that the specializing in the university has a master in ESL.
Will the 1st recommendation be the English school of the Toronto city school board management? It is a proper charge at $ 3.50 per hour. As much as of ply bay toss's coolness ??? This charge becomes $ 0.00 when one has permanent resident status or Canadian citizenship. It is flexible in the school, the English power level in much and the time zone of being various, the class. It is that there are Japanese and a Korean in the classroom hardly that it is the best. It is ideal opportunity for accustoming by asking to the ????? accent, the French accent, the Mexican accent and the ???? accent.
The author has gone to the English school for the new emigrant person, too, but there is a various circumstance person and there are a person not to be good at English at all and a person who receives education hardly and so on, too. Of course, there is a refugee, too. There is an English level of the class of TOEFL, too, from basic English (Nice to meet you.) for those persons.

Reading Comprehension & Vocabulary Because the format which is changed, it thinks that TOEFL, too, became simple compared with ?? but if doing the 5th and the continuation of 6 months for every 5 hours on the 1st and per week, it is TOEFL About 620 are over simply. However, the score of the test of Writing(TWE) will be hardly improved.

MELAB(Michigan English Language Assessment Battery) There is a test to say. Actually, only 20 kinds of tests exist, the contents of the test never leak out outside and question title ?, and so on, isn't published. It is simple because more being ranks or hitch problems than TOEFL occur but there are few numbers of the vocabularies. All test problems can be learned, too.

As long as I know, there were two guys "The fellow who took 95 in MELAB, entered a university in the United States of America and was immediately pipped" and "The fellow who took 620 in TOEFL, entered Harvard University and could not be promoted and was made leaving school after all" After all, English needs ability and confidence with the true meaning.

TOEFL can not take perfect score truly. If the score which is near the perfect is over, it " is pure luck ". TOEFL is the place to make the one to have standardized English a test but to be average isn't cleared in which. It sometimes becomes mistake when using TOEFL grammar by the creation in the university, too, and it sometimes becomes difficult to read a book by knowing TOEFL grammar, too. The linguistic situation, it is evolving. Average one 10 years before is sometimes supposed to mistake at present, too.
Because it is, as for entering a university, it thinks that TOEFL is one dialect and there is not a problem. It pips only in the university when therefore, say and there is not English power with degree as TOEFL. When entering a university actually, with the vocabulary power with degree, it isn't possible to overtake it simply as TOEFL.

Here is a typical TOEFL question.
MAN: This computer doesn't work at all.
WOMAN: Did you check the plug?
MAN: Oh, I didn't plug in, though.

QUESTION: What was the problem?

A) The computer was out of order.
B) The computer drove him crazy.
C) The plug was not connected.
D) The man was stupid.

ANSWER: D

Difficult, isn't it?

How do you get acquired English language? Easy! First of all, you need to memorize words, volcabulary.
You need to memorize all the words in the reference books (like Cole's notes) of entrance exams for Japanese colleges. Each book contains approximately 2000 words and at least four books must be completely memorized.
The next is vocabulary for TOEFL. You can choose any books like TOEFL Seminor or Barron's. You do not have buy a book. Just borrow the book and copy it.
Next, words for verbal section of G.R.E. are good to know. G.R.E. includes words from liberal education so that it is difficult.
Anyway, since the number of English words is infinitely many and is increasing, you have to memorize English words and to review them daily to be competent.
One thing you have to be careful about is to memorize them with accurate pronounciation and to speak them out repeatedly. Of course, you must know all the pronounciation symbols.
If you can pronounce accurately and clearly, the number of your spelling mistakes decreases.

It thinks that the studying of TOEFL is the optimal grammatically. If solving a problem with simple pattern from the morning to the evening, the English grammar to be said to that it is average of is under the body.
However, in the same TOEFL grammar, there are different interpretation, a different explanation, a different answer in the grammar which is sold in Japan and the grammar which is sold in America.
The grammar book published by TOEFL Seminor thinks that the problem tendency of TOEFL is the optimal to study by the self because it is deeply analyzed.

LIt says " that it isn't possible to hear " by being istening but being practicing a listening " and that it is early too much " and it is the problem to be common. Of course, if knowing a pronunciation correctly by the step to learn a word, it becomes quite easy.
However, in case of actual life, it doesn't pronounce to pronounce without the remainder and as the textbook, a correct communication isn't made by omitting, that it isn't possible to hear and being teasing.
It records the cassette of question title ? of TOEFL in micro-cassette recorder. It is the meaning to hear the tape for a long time from the morning to the evening by head von. Of course, the recorded timbre isn't too good. It becomes the practice of the listening because it becomes difficult to hear by the noise and the foreign noise of the tape.
It does a speed by 1.2 times and it hears it if it becomes possible to hear the contents of the tape totally and having memorized a circle ( The function which partial micro cassette recorder has ). This speed is the speed that the human being can be totally understood.
Be enough tentatively if 1.2 times of speed become able to be understood but let's attempt to hear at twice of speed. It isn't possible to understand but there is a person who can understand, too, ( It is the problem of the memorization power almost ). The ability for the sound of most of English to be able to be told in this is stuck.
If wanting to practice for TOEFL, the book which analyzed a listening from TOEFL Seminor is sold.
A native English speaker has never met with the difficulty about the listening and native English speakers can not improve the listening ability of the Japanese.

The chattering speed relates to the speed to usually hear. When practicing a listening at the speed ( the cassette tape and so on ) which is always slow, the chattering speed, too, becomes the speed.
It is for this purpose that, when seeing chattering English of the Japanese from a native English speaker, it becomes the speed which was slowly approximately without the exception.
When repeating the practice of the listening at the speed which hastened speed, the naturally chattering speed, too, becomes early and native-like becomes. Also, when the chattering speed of English becomes early, Japanese, too, becomes so.

The consonant becomes beautiful in case of pronunciation's doing and pronouncing abdominal respiration. As for the reason, in the abdominal respiration method, the leeway which is careful ( the movement of the tongue, and so on, ) of the sound of the consonant is ?????. However, the muscle of the throat to vocalize in the abdominal respiration and the muscle of the throat to use by Japanese are different and need training. It is the same as the pronunciation of the English.
Anyhow, it mastered the pronunciation of English in the abdominal respiration method, but at the first time, the muscle of the throat was tired and the author, too, was terrible.
There is seldom a person where that all Americans can not do a pronunciation with the abdominal respiration and that the teacher of ESL of native English speakers can do the pronunciation of the abdominal respiration method and to teach are made.
When mastering this pronunciation, it becomes possible to do the takeoff of the television star and the movie star. The hero of Forest Gump, Bart Simpson, and the father of The Simpsons, and so on, can imitate an author. However, the takeoff of the new yorker where the rhythm tangles is difficult.

By the way, when studying English, the studying quantity and the quantity of being brought along are never proportional.
It studies in 10 and it doesn't move forward in 10 ( " Three steps advanced and falling by two steps " Not being a meaning ).
That English is brought along is improved by the stairstepping. It studies many month for a long time and to be brought along is sometimes brought along extremely suddenly some day even if it does completeness. Because it is, impatient ??, the day to be extremely brought along must be expected even if it studies English and there is not to be brought along for a while. It studies or around the day and the day to be extremely brought along is ?? early or late.

It is studying English and it is in Japanese that it understands the degrees of being brought along. It becomes possible to read the newspaper of Japanese, and so on, simply at the quick speed when being over 600 in TOEFL.
Your character of Japanese letters becomes able to write beautifully when you become possible to write English letters beautifully.
When accustomed to write English, it notices a limit in the sentences expression in Japanese ( Japanese itself, is it primitive?).
It is possible to read the kanji when continuing life only in English which doesn't use Japanese long but it becomes that it isn't possible to write.
