I have only seen "The Nightmare before Christmas", but I want to see all the movies that watched on YouTube today and also watch "The Nightmare before Christmas". As I was watching these movie trailers, it reminds me my Christmas in USA. It was so fun that I want to go back again. Each movie trailers were different accents, so it was very useful for me, but I had little trouble with understanding not American English one. Nightmare before the Christmas's trailer was the best trailer to listen because speaker spoke clearly and nice and slow. I feel like I want to watch movie sometime!!!!

It was very useful site for me to train my grammar skill because grammar is the most weakest point of my English. The reason why I cant make a good paragraph is because I am always pointed out the mistakes of grammar. I can judge past tense and past perfect, but I have a problem with past perfect and past participle. Not to make such a mistakes, I think I should use this site to study. Everything is written in English, so it will train my reading skill, too!

To check how many words that I know was very useful for me and learned that I only know few words, so I realized that I need to improve my vocaburaly level more and more. When I was taking a test, there are so many words that I have never seen before. I don't know the reason, but TOEIC words was the highest score and basic words was the lowest. I should study from beginning!

Training my vocaburaly skill by taking a quiz was fun for me to study. This one was easier than the one that I took at ActivityI. I took a quiz twice because I want to know that I was taking a quiz inaccurately. As a result, I wasn't, but I couldn't get 100% after my second one, but I want to keep on doing this when I don't have nothing to do.
