Hello everyone, my English name is Shawn. I come from Shanghai China. More than 5years ago , I came to Tokyo Japan, and I am now living in Ikebukuro. I am a master student of Toyo university. After this semester I will start doing job hunting. Though I am living in Japan, don’t have to speak English very well, I realize that it is not enough for a foreign student who can only speak his mother-language and Japanese. English is the most world wide used language in the world, especially in an international city -Tokyo Japan. Foreign students have to do much better than Japanese students in order to get a same ideal job. So during this semester I am trying hard to improve my English well. Fortunately, this summer vacation I had a good chance to go to Austria for English study. I think it was an extremely good experience for me to improve my listening and speaking English in a short time. Every daytime I went to an English school to study general and business English, after that I went to a home-stay family I can also talk to them in English there. There is a really good English study environment in Austria I think, and Austrian people are usually friendlier to foreigners than the Japanese people do. After the English study in Austria, I suddenly find that I have taken back my English study emotion which existed before I came to Japan. It is getting easy and funny to study English or to communicate people in English. In addition, I have an opportunity to continue study English in our university four times a week. It is called SCAT(a special English study program for TOFEL).We have three native responsible English teachers. Each of them is in charge of different part of study English, such as Writing and Reading and Speaking. I can tell you evidently that I have never got so high passion of study English from the bottom of my heart. I believe it can also relate to the motivation of job hunting. Obviously it is also a positive emotion for my life.
