☆ ナセバナル ナサネバナラヌ ナニゴトモ ナラヌハヒトノ ナサヌナリケリ Wenn man etwas tut, geht es Wenn man etwas nicht tut, geht es nicht Das gilt für alle Dinge Der alleinige Grund warum etwas nicht geht ist, dass man es nicht tut. Danke Andreas! 2009年 Wienにて 
It's about the training, the consistency, and the balance of work that will produce my results. 人気BLOGRANK Magnum160411さんのお買い物

Sometimes during the day I’m feeling terrible. Even on a good day, things can go wrong. Control the controllable. Don’t panic! If I hadn’t tested myself, I would have stagnated. Unless I try to go way beyond what I have been able to do before, I won’t develop and grow. The score of TOEFL is one of my performances. The hurdle that I have to overcome is not so difficult. Keep thinking!
My TOEFL exam day is just around the corner. I'm aiming to get my total score of 100. Reading: 28 Listening: 26 Speaking: 22 Writing: 24 If I accomplish it, I don't have to take this exam again. This time output is the key. I know how to answer well. All I have to do now is just practice. Today I found a question, "train or automobile". There are a few aspects such as efficiency, infrastructure and safety. I would travel by motorcycle. Why? Motorcycles are much more attractive. After the exam, I'd like to read "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance" again.
I found today I passed all the lectures that I took last semester. It’s really marvelous. Am I clever? No, I just studied smart. I know consistency is the key. Though I had hard time, I didn’t give up. By controlling my words and actions, I have eventually become my goal. I’m now confident.
On 1st of August I take TOEFL. I’m really motivated because I should mark high score in order to survive in Europe. I know how tough TOEFL exam is. It’s like a triathlon; reading, listening, speaking and writing. I’m really lucky because I improved English through this summer course. All I have to do now is just studying intensive for TOEFL. I understand how important it is to know the philosophy of TOEFL and how to answer the questions. English is demanding and if I want to achieve it’s just going to take discipline and work hard. 
In summer holidays many students enjoy their time. Usually most of them travel. When I was in Japan, I traveled and work as a part time job. Now I chose to study continuously. Why? At first I planned to travel by bicycle. However, I have strong will to improve my knowledge on EU. Otherwise I would have hard time when I go back to Japan. I was lucky, because I could find a stimulating summer course.
As is usual, I'm the only Asian. How do European students think of me? I acknowledge many students now. If I have traveled alone by bicycle, I could have found some families as I met in Klagenfurt. Travelling might be also fun. But I have to study to go ahead. I really enjoy studying now.
I suppose if I have stuck to German, I couldn't have found this summer course. Learning German is one thing, studying in German is another. While learning German, I use a German-Japanese dictionary. I think it's not good to study abroad. I should have used a German-English dictionary, even though it's hard to understand at first. If I want to say something in German, I have to master English at first. In order to master English, all I have to do is just read a lot and memorize what I want to say. If I think in Japanese, I want to look into the corresponding expression of Japanese. I know it's not good, though. Now I'm thinking a lot in English.
Yesterday I saw Ironman Austria in Klagenfurt. On Saturday when I arrived at the Expo center, I got a programme and found two Japanese names there. In 2006 I did Ironman in Switzerland. At that time also two Japanese including me challenged.
The weather was really nice, or very hot. At 7 o'clock they started swimming. The long day has begun. I went to the meeting point, where I told them I would like to be a volunteer. I was arranged to be in the transit area. In kids triathlon I did twice in the same position, but this is Ironman! I have to be engaged in the job carefully. While waiting I heard the sound of a flat tire. That's too bad. But I cannot do anything, because I was not allowed to touch anything. Less than one hour swimmers came back one after another. We became busier and busier. In the middle I stopped an athlete because he was in a hurry about to ride on a bicycle there. Athletes are subjected to push their bike in the transition area, otherwise they have to be imposed on penalty. After 2hours and 20minutes we were released. We went to see bike riders. They were really cool. The first 90km is good for them, but I know the last 90km is very tough. Around noon a top athlete came back to the transit area. I cannot believe it. How fast he was! 180km for four hours? He passed besides me. This is what only transit area stuff can experience. At one o'clock athletes came back again. They completed bike part about 5 hours. Some told us to give up the race, because it's too hot. For me last 42km, but for them it was impossible to continue to do. At three o'clock the top athlete finished the race. It was really amazing. When I did Sado half Ironman triathlon for the first time in 2004, it took more than 8 hours to finish. My prospective time of swimming and riding would be 8hours and 30minutes. Nine hours have passed. Suddenly it began raining. It was good for athletes. After 10hours almost all athletes started running. I waited two Japanese athletes, but they didn't come back before cut-off time. I don't know what happened to them.
I had to go back in a day. They were still running. I cannot say if all of them could be finishers. If I hadn't joined the race in 2006, I wouldn't have imagined living in Europe. I just appreciated a lot. I aimed at the camping place where I slept the day before yesterday. When I slept on the grass, an old man invited me to sleep under his tent. I went to him to say "Thank you". This time they served me a meal. I was lucky because not only I can speak English but also I can share what they spend their lives. That is the reason why I love in Europe. In Japan I don't think they gave me a place, or even they did they start talking about their job! Now I remember the motorcycle touring in Europe. At that time I could not understand well why Europeans enjoy so much. I'm studying now, but I have to do something for them, too. Volunteer is what I can do for them.
Is this a divine present? In June I studied and studied for my paper. Yesterday I and an Austrian friend of mine went to Donauinselfest. It was a long walk to the northern area. We became tired and soon wanted to go back. Then she found someone. She was exciting. I didn't understand what was happening. She told me that he is a prime minister, Faymann. It was the chance of a lifetime, let's follow him. He stopped to take a snapshot with a policeman. Then he welcomed us to take a photo together. I have never impressed since I came here. I could just say in English "Thank you very much!" I'm really regret why I couldn't tell him in German that Ich komme aus Japan, studiere an der Uni Wien als Austauschstudent. Ich liebe Oesterreich!
She was over the moon. Only a photo, however, it changed our feeling so greatly. I could say it's his hospitality. He definitely attracts people. How many people were affected around him? Life in a foreign country is very interesting. Maybe next time I'll meet President of Austria. ｜一覧｜ |
