learning Journal 2

This is my second learning journal.The last week,I wrote writing assignment#1,but that was by no means satisfactory. I could write only 200 words or like that.I think I took so much time to think about what to write,so I had to type my essay in 15 min.My defeat was caused by this problem.I need to practice writing and learn to write and think what to write more quickly.I also did my first speaking practice in Wednesday's class.In speaking task,I have only 15 seconds to think what to speak.That is not enough for me now. I also have to practice this task and try to make rough draft in my mind in 15 seconds.

・What change would make your hometown more appealing to people your age?


My hometown is Yamagata,a very small town town.There are only two movie theaters and Starbucks around Yamagata station,so some people say we should built more cafes or something like for young people.However,I don't think building cafes or game-center are effective measures.In my opinion,we have to change the basic matters instead of paying our attention to the facts on the surface.Yamagata city should make environment that young people can live their life comfortable.Foe example,build enough number of day care center　or increasing employment for young people,maintain the safe city.These policies are not easy to　out,but I think this is the only way to appeal our city to young people
 
  

My Learning Journal(TOEFL)

The last week,I started studying for TOEFL.However my English skill is very poor now.For example,I had to watch my TED video for more than 5 times to understand his speech,so I have to improve my listening skill by listening English news or movie.Now,I'm writing my learning journal and I am feeling that my writing speed and vocabulary is not enough.In TOEFL test,I have to write 400 words short essay in 30 minutes,but I think now I can only write only 200 or 250 words in 30 minutes.Therefore,I think it is going to be the long way for me to get high score in TOEFL test,but I have to plod away the task.
