Today I regularly took a half test of the mock TOEIC. It was the test published in Korea.
Compared with the real test, it was unbelievably more difficult. I was so worn out with only half test.
It is ridiculous that Korean MUST get the score of over 900 in those Korean TOEIC, not in the real TOEIC, for their recruitment!
I am sure that they are living in severer competitive society than Japanese.

Today we went to the swimming lesson by bicycles! It was the first time for us, especially Yoichi.
We chose roads avoiding busier roads and rode through only residential area. We left home earlier than usual
so that we could take our time. The most beneficial thing for us is that the sun doesn't set until around 9 pm now!
Without being in a hurry, with lots of clean air, we enjoyed everything came into view. We could see the Olympic mountains in America
and lots of pretty flowers and maple trees in the spacious residential areas in Upland which is famous as the place
where only the millionaires can live. Yoichi could have a big confidence about riding bicycle here when we pulled off our challenge.
He looked so vivid even when he was taking the swimming lesson because of his confidence.
We took 30 minutes for one way today but it was worth sparing time for us. Taking time, seeing beauties, breathing greenery air,
lots of conversation and good exercise. And besides that, Yoichi can have a confidence and a mind of mutual cooperation.
For sure we have to be a lot careful with the cars, though. While Yoichi is enthusiastic about riding bicycle,
I would like to go cycling as many times as possible.
