1-03a: My Language Learning Stories and plans

From I was born to before I enrolled elementary school, it was my parents, friends and kindergarten's teachers that I learn from. At home I imitated my parents' conversation and learned Japanese from animations. When I was outside, I learned language from my friends and kindergarten's teacher. I remember singing, playing game, reading picture books there. For example, I played house with my friends. I could talk everyday conversation.  

Second, about 10 years ago, I was elementary school student. I studied how to write and read hiragana, katakana and kanji. I took Japanese class, we learned a lot of things. Several years from 10 years ago, I could learn English. My teacher have lived overseas for 5 years so he taught us English. We learned a lot of words from playing games. However I didn't write and listen English so I didn't know English grammar.

Next, I am major in English so I like English and I want to improve my English skills now. I must read a lot of English books and newspaper. I must listen to news in English and write in English. In addition I took TOEIC, TOEFL and IELTS. I studied hard because I'm going to study abroad, so I need to step up my English skills. I learn by English central, Japan Times, ALC’s power words and Hearing Marathon. Recently I stared to go English conversation school about once a week.  I could not get satisfactory TOEIC and TOEFL scores but I could get satisfactory results from IELTS test. Because of a lot of tests I made a detail goal, I study hard. Since I'm sure my English skills improve.
 

Finally, 10 years from now my language skills will make progress more. I think that time I will work and I'm not a child. I think I will use more difficult Japanese words. Besides I want to work a job where I can use my English skills. I take teaching profession license classes now so I need to take 650~700 score in TOEIC test.  Now my English skills isn't enough to work with English. However my goal is I can make full use of English so I won't stop studying English even if I can't work utilize English. So 10 years from now, my English skill will improve.
