I am very happy to have passed the Pre-1st Level Test. I feel grateful to my teachers for all the enthusiastic help they gave me to help me pass the test. In my classes, I read newspaper articles and listened to news, which helped me become familiar with current topics. Reading English newspaper articles gave me knowledge about serious social issues facing today’s world communities which are not often covered by the Japanese media. I would like to continue to study English to gain more knowledge about the world to help broaden my horizons.
