Three resolutions
I will study and learn English pronunciation.
Because I was told like this:
You are Japanese and your English has an accent.
Those words really hurt me.
I got less motivated to learn English at that moment.
But I realised if I improved my pronunciation, my English would get much better.
I had bought two textbooks of English pronunciation.
However, when I bought those and was satisfied with just having those.
And I haven't worked on those.
I won't use translator anymore.
I should practice English writing.
I won't stick to word-by-word translation.
I will use the expression I know.
I won't care if the English page contains less words as a result.
So far when I wrote a Japanese page on this website, I copied the text and make it load to translator.
I altered the expressions on the English text translator processed, and then I pasted it on an English page.
It would need more time to write English diary by myself.
But I read a book written by Japanese famous podcaster Mami and understood the importance of expression of my own words.
The book's title is MY JOURNAL -Let's journal in English-.
I feel I need more preparation to take IELTS.
I suppose it will take a year or so.
A year may be not enough.
I resolved I won't take IELTS in a rush.
