19^th was the vocabulary test.  I studied hard about it the day before.  So I took an examination for it 30min.  I don’t know my result, but I thought that I worked hard.  Next, I opened the Ferris Online and I chose Living English.  I listened Episode 21 to 27 about 25min. 

b.    What your opinion of website?

I love this site so I studied it over and over again!  Living English can learn about conversation as natural speed.  And in above all, the story of this drama is so interesting!  So I think I can learn listening while enjoying it.  And the story continues, so I want to be anxious about continuation and to study again.  Maybe it’s important for us to study all, I think.
