I JUST DID THE TOEIC!!
for those who don't know TOEIC is like, one of the major big important international english tests, mostly useful to get into a college or university in english speaking countries, some degrees in here and sometimes but rarely to get hired for work abroad.
i wasnt considering doing it but then my college started announcing they would be holding the test for free for a limited amount of participants and i got in!
the test is 200 questions long, all multiple answers, 100 for listening, where all the audios of the questions will be reproduced on a row with no repetitions and in some the options are on the audios too
and 100 for reading! its quite lengthy
the test was WAAAy easier than i thought lol, i didnt struggle with any question, might have aced it
the big variety of questions types made it quite fun too! and not painfully boring! i was initially worried cause its quite easy for me to get distracted in long tests like this but the variety helped keeping me in check!
i cant wait for the results in january!

29 days before TOEIC exam. I’ve disappeared for sometime because of my finals (didn’t do really well lol) Now I’m back to focusing on my TOEIC exam. Thinking of opening a YouTube channel of study vlogs and records, but considering my procrastination and lack of storage on my phone I quickly gave up the idea.

Last week, the 2nd Academic Term started at Vocational School LIFE Jr College here in Okinawa, Japan. @lifejrcollege I brought back small omiyage (gifts) from the United States (my home country) for each student studying English this term. Risa-sensei is a new teacher here and will be teaching all of the Group B students while I'll be teaching all of the Group A students. Risa-sensei studied in the US and Australia, and has taught at the University level here in Japan. I'm very glad to be working with her. Let's study hard everyone, but let's have some fun too! During this academic term, the English department will host the Happy Halloween Party 🎃 and the Merry Christmas Party ⛄ which will both be very enjoyable! #専門学校 #専門学校ライフ #沖縄専門学校 #英語 #英検 #TOEIC #Okinawa #Naha #LifeJrCollege #沖縄 #沖縄県 #那覇 #那覇市 B1+B2C 2022.10.12 (at Naha, Okinawa) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjlySUNBEfP/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
