TOEFL test, one month to go~

International students whose first language is not English have to prove their English efficiency to enter university here. There are a couple of tests which they can write for that. I chose TOEFL(Test Of English as a Foreign Language) and have been taking TOEFL class for a month. There is one month left for that class because I am going to write the TOEFL test on June, 2nd. I have just one classmate from Colombia (Our school is quite small). Recently, she finds the class very difficult and seems to give up, yeah, new TOEFL test (IBT) is quite tough to get a good score. The score I need is 106 out of 120. It is very high score and I think I am not that level yet but someday I will be. This time, I will do my best and see where I am. I have been studying English for one and half years. I didn't take any English class in a private school and a tutoring session in Korea and over ten years of studying English in school isn't helping because when I first got here, I was not able to speak English at all, just greeting people was all I could do at that time.
I am kind of in slump these days. Preparation of TOEFL is tough and I realized I am not ready yet. It makes my goal vague. However, I am not giving up. When the time is right, I will be on the rail. If I dream it, I will get it.
