Something Leads To Something

When I was a second year junior high school student , I met an ALT first time. I had never been interested in English at all. It had been a just strange sound for me before I started to sstudy English. The ALT is the most beautiful woman I'd ever seen. I mean I felt in love with her.I wanted to communicate with her. I went to teacher's room very often to see her. I just saw her , and she made bitter smile at me. I didn't know how to communicate with foreigners like her. I didn't know anything. I asked an English teacheer how to study English. The teacher lent me an English grammar text book which is very famous for Japanese English learners especially for high school students. I read it all the time when I had a little free time. I transcribed all the words in the text book to some note books. I spent almost 180 days to do it. It was hard and tiring but I thought that I could become able to talk to her fluently. It was not enough to talk to her because I didn't know English words very much and how to talk. When people talk to other people first , people usually greet tthe other people roughly or formally. It depends on age. I didn't even know that. I was so optimistic that I didn't remember how to communicate with people first. Anyway , one day I tried to talk to her in JAPANESE. She looked she didnT understand what I said at all. An English teacher was beside her, so She interpret what I said into Emglish. After that I had some opportunities to talk to her. She looked she didn't like to talk to me. I though it was because of  lack of my English skills. I decided to study English eagerly , not loosely.


A desire I wanted to talk to her led to a desire I want to pass an examination of the second level of Eiken. Eiken is used to measure English learner's ability. The range of Eiken level from 5th to 1st. 1st level is the highest level.There was a reason why I took the level of Eiken. This was because an English teacher was sure that I might be able to pass it when I was a second year high school student. Before I took it , I didn't take countermeausre for it. I had thought it is very easy and I had had confidence. Unfortunately , I failured two times. the result of it I took first time is so bad as I can't tell anyone.Finally I could pass it by the end of the high school life.


The examination have led to another examination. After having passed it , I got a piece of information about TOEIC. I informed of what I passed  to the English teacher who supported me when I was in high school , she was suprised to hear that. She said that she had not thought I was able to pass it by the end of high school life. She suggested TOEIC to me. She had taken it before she suggeted it to me. Her score is around 750. She looked very smart after I heard it.  I sweared that I get over 750 points by the end of university life.


TOEIC led to making a friend. I got into KGU after high school in 2010. I met a boy. He looked smart. He knew evrything deeply more than me. I was jealous of his ability. One summer day , he ran to me smiling and having something. I asked him what happened to him. He answered my quetion looking very happy. He received TOEIC result in which a high score were written.The score was the highest score first year students had got. He made it. I was impressed and became jealous more. I wanted to compete with him with English skills. I had to catch up with his English. I studied hiding from him. I improved day and day. Finally I took it on 26th November. The result is 765. It was not bad , it was not good for me because I couldn't win him, but he admitted my effort and have talked to me friendly since then.


Something absolutely leads to something. I lead to people and the people lead to other people. Because of it, I can improve myself and go forward. If I don't lead to anything , I can't do anything. It is a kind of important thing.
