The result of theTOEIC test

Two happy things happened to me yesterday.

First, I recieved the result of the TOEIC test which I took last month.

Before seeing the result, I was nervous because I didn't think I did well on the test.

But, the total score was 850 (full marks is 990) , the listening part was 460 and the reading part was 390!

Last time I took the test two years ago, the total was 780, so I got 70 points more than before!

I was really glad to see the result, but I need to improve my reading skill more.

I will take the Eiken Grade Pre-1 in June.

I will keep studying English from now on.


Second, my mother called me and said:

"Thank you. I received the album which you made for me. I am really glad. It is my treasure!"

(I wrote about the album which I made for my mother as a present for Mother's Day in my previous post.)

I was really glad to hear that she liked it.

I thought I could give back to my mother a little.

I couldn't sleep well

My children and I usually go to bed at 9pm.

We spread bedding on "tatami"( it is a mat on the floor in a Japanese -style room) and we lie down side by side.

Our sleeping position resembles that of the Kanji character for the word "river" (" 川" in Kanji).

We say it "川の字で寝る" in Japanese.


Last night, my 5-year-old daughter suddenly woke up and started crying.

It means she wants to go to the bathroom, so I took her there. 

I went back to the Japanese-style room and saw the clock, it was 2am.

I was relieved that my husband was already sleeping in the futon.

He often comes home late, so I often check whether he has come home or not yet when I wake up.

After I fell asleep again, I was woken up because my 7-year-old son suddenly kicked me.

I returned him to his futon and tried to sleep again.

When I started dreaming, my alarm clock started ringing.

"Oh, I wasn't able to sleep well today..."

It was 4pm.

I sat down on the futon and I was out of it for a while.

When I was able to get up, it was already 4:30am.

I am able to have my own time only in the early morning.

In fact, I want to sleep more.

But since I have work, I have to make dinner, lunch boxes for my son and me (because it is spring vacation), and make breakfast.

After that, I can finally have time to study English.

I will take the TOEIC test in April, so I need time to prepare the test, but I can't make enough time.

I think I will sleep enough after the test.
