Going abroad.

Today, I went to report of going abroad. Eighteen people reported what they feel and gave us some advices. I am respect them because going abroad is not easy. They overcame the hard days and got many important things, and came back to Japan. Their effort is so huge. However all of them looks satisfactory. I really want to go abroad.

I decided to go abroad when I was a high school student. I like English so much, so I want to be specialist of English. I have been to Australia, and it was great. Then, I hope to go abroad again and learn English in the university life. I promised with my high school teacher to go abroad and get high score with TOEFL and TOEIC when I applied to my university. And then, I have studied English so hard.

However, I noticed that it is not enough only study English because of the report. They attended the events and tried to challenge many things. Of course, it is important to study English, but English is only means to communicate with people. I have to learn new things by using English. I have to know about basic world news, cultures, economics, and so on in order to "watch" the world, in the real mean. I will improve my English skill and understand the other country and people.

I know going abroad is not only fun. I have to work more than now. However, if I can achieve the goal, I will be able to more strong morally. I am so nervous, but I want to test myself hoe I can do well. Above of all, I want to see the other country in my own eyes. I hope I can experience the wonderful chance, like them. Their report encouraged me, so I can keep trying.
