TOEIC

About Three days ago, I bought a new textbook and started TOEIC study. My target scores are 750 points. It’s very hard for me but if my target is low, my achieve scores are low. So, I decided that’s scores. Fortunately, my listening skill has been improved through this abroad. I can answer most of listening questions. But till now another parts are difficult for me. I believe “I can do it!”

H.R. MacMillan Space Centre

Today I went to H.R. MacMillan Space Centre with my family. In front of this centre, strange object came into my eyes. That’s a Big Curb made of metal. This centre located at waterfront Vanier Park, and I can learn about the stars. We enjoyed a 360-degree show in the planetarium. This equipments is great, but story was little boring.....

Already I bought four books. English grammar and HTML reference book. It is difficult for me to learn in English. So kind of these book are useful for me to understand.

Yaletown

Today I went to Yaletown which is Vancouver's trendy and upscale renovated warehouse district. This fresh urban neighbourhood is just an easy walk from the center of downtown.

Yaletown's converted heritage buildings are home to some of city's top fashion and design shops, as well as cutting edge restaurants and bars.

E-business & Web design Program

This session, I take a E-business & Web design Program. This program consists of building a framework of E-commerce Knowledge, coducting online market research and writting a E-bisiness plan.

Seven students are taken this program. This program is little difference from other's. Because It's needed not only English skills but also computer skills. It's hard for me, but I think that it's worth to learn.
