To be honest, I felt envious that I could acquire English skills because I had studied in a fulfilling environment. I also felt a little depressed because I had always assumed that my English skills were limited because I did not have the money to study abroad and did not belong to an international faculty, so it was inevitable that my English skills would not improve. \u3000 However, a senior student saw this and approached me and told me that she had never studied abroad and was studying something unrelated to English at university. I was shocked because he spoke very fluent English, but he advised me that if I had the desire to learn, I could improve my English skills no matter what the environment was. He also gave me concrete information about the study methods he was practicing. I am very grateful to him, and I now want to continue learning English at my own pace and in my own way, without setting my own limits.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-2658\" src=\"https:\/\/home.hirosaki-u.ac.jp\/salc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/68\/0A3F17A6-BAA7-43EA-A5CD-7BFB59A17993_\u77e2\u5439-\u5fc3\u512a-132x300.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"132\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/home.hirosaki-u.ac.jp\/salc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/68\/\/0A3F17A6-BAA7-43EA-A5CD-7BFB59A17993_\u77e2\u5439-\u5fc3\u512a-132x300.jpeg 132w, https:\/\/home.hirosaki-u.ac.jp\/salc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/68\/\/0A3F17A6-BAA7-43EA-A5CD-7BFB59A17993_\u77e2\u5439-\u5fc3\u512a-451x1024.jpeg 451w, https:\/\/home.hirosaki-u.ac.jp\/salc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/68\/\/0A3F17A6-BAA7-43EA-A5CD-7BFB59A17993_\u77e2\u5439-\u5fc3\u512a-676x1536.jpeg 676w, https:\/\/home.hirosaki-u.ac.jp\/salc\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/68\/\/0A3F17A6-BAA7-43EA-A5CD-7BFB59A17993_\u77e2\u5439-\u5fc3\u512a.jpeg 722w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 132px) 100vw, 132px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u3000The event that made me decide to study English more seriously was when I went to Tokyo last summer to support high school students in their English activities as a university student mentor. \u3000I had always liked and studied English, and I was invited to participate in this activity by a friend of mine who was attending a university overseas.
