The Miser and His Gold
Once upon a time there was a Miser who used to hide his gold at the foot of a tree in his garden; but every week he used to go and dig it up and gloat over his gains.
A robber, who had noticed this, went and dug up the gold and decamped with it. When the Miser next came to gloat over his treasures, he found nothing but the empty hole.
He tore his hair, and raised such an outcry that all the neighbors came around him.

Once in a blue moon. Have you ever heard this phrase before? What do you think it means? Have you heard of a blue moon?
A blue moon is something that does not happen often. If a blue moon happens today, the next blue moon many happen in two years!
So when we say, " once in a blue moon" it means, something is unlikely to happen, or doesn't happen often.
"I drink coffee once in a blue moon"

TOEIC・TOEIC Bridgeを受けてほしいです!
先日の大学共通テストを私もすべて解いてみました。
昨年度に比べて大きく問題形式は変化していませんでしたが、やはり今回の問題も長文問題が多く時間との勝負になりました。
読んでも読んでも次々と文章を読まないといけないので、正直集中力との戦いでもありました・・・
みなさん英検はどんどん挑戦して頂いていますが、英検には長文問題が多くても5個か6個です。
しかし、共通テストには10個出題されます。
TOEIC Bridgeには、14個、TOEICには19個です。
学校ではまだまだ文法中心に学習が進められていますので、なかなか長文問題を解くことは少ないです。
そこで、TOEICとTOEIC Bridgeを通して速読力を身につけてほしいと考えています。
会話クラスをご受講頂いているみなさんは、常に会話の前後関係を意識して話をしてくれていますので、
長文読解に強いです。
文法クラスをご受講頂いているみなさんは、もちろん文法の一問一答に強いです。
でも本当はどちらもバランス良く身につけて頂くことが大切です。
学校のテストだけでなく、英検やTOEICを受験いただくことで、お子様の正しい英語レベルを確認いただき、
次のステップアップに必要なことをサポートさせて頂きます。
