<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"I was not good at English itself until my first year of high school. However, one thing made me like English gradually. It is a “Haratan” .The trigger of creating Haratan came from a high school teacher who promoted the creation of mistake notebooks.<\/p>\n
Haratan is a notebook that summarizes mistakes, named in imitation of a reference book called “Yumetan”. For example, I wrote down words or sentences that I got wrong in mock exams or regular tests, or words that appeared for the first time in textbooks. For me, Haratan is like a strategy book for the game of English, and I enjoyed playing the game when I was writing Haratan.<\/p>\n
Haratan was helpful in various tests. In fact, the content written on Haratan was also used in the University Entrance common Test and the secondary examination of the Hirosaki University . It is no exaggeration to say that I was able to enter Hirosaki University thanks to Haratan.<\/p>\n
After entering the university, I found it difficult to speak English after conversing with international students in the English Lounge.<\/p>\n
English is still difficult.<\/p>\n
From now on, I want to learn English that I can actually use rather than English for entrance exams.<\/p>\n
