kind of English is required to pass the entrance exam to an American university?

“I don’t know the details yet, but I heard that the final goal is for everyone to score over 100 on the TOEFL iBT.Others include discussion, essay writing, and debate.”

>How difficult is it to get a score of 100 on the TOEFL iBT?

>It’s more than Eiken Level 1

>I heard it’s required if you want to enter a famous American university.

“That’s it! That’s what the teacher said.”

>But I’m sure you can read the exam questions

>But there’s a difference between being able to read and being able to understand


>You need to have a vocabulary that’s half in technical terms

“Yeah, you know, it’s easy to read picture books, but it’s hard to read papers, even if they’re written in Japanese.
That’s how it is.”

>I agreed

Well, I’m worried if I can keep up from now on.

I thought I could keep up with them, but it’s been a few days since classes started at junior high school.

Surprisingly, my studies were going well.

I thought about it.
This is the second time I take a junior high school class.

If I consider it as a review, the current pace was even moderate.
I was rather bored in elementary school.

Some of the things that I didn’t do in my time were included in the classes, and that was the only part where things got a little rough around the edges.
Everything else went surprisingly well.

…… In addition, this is on the level of “I can keep up”.

Overall, I would say that I was a bit of a dropout.

I still do very little self-study outside of class time and keep my level “moderate”.

If I say this, my classmates who are also going to cram school and trying hard to catch up with their classes would probably get mad at me.

However, English class is a different story.


On the first day of English class, we had an unexpected reunion.

<Do you remember me? I was your interviewer when you took the entrance exam.>>

<Thank you very much for your time.>>

<I was worried that a school with a higher deviation score would take you.
Let’s take a test today to gauge your current level.>>

Coincidentally, my English homeroom teacher was the examiner when I took the test.

That in itself was fine.
A week or two into class, it happened.

<<…… Yes?>>

My English homeroom teacher suddenly said something like that to me.

I have no idea what she meant.

<It’s very rare for a first-year junior high school student without any experience studying or living abroad to get such a high score.>>

<So, how did this turn into a TV story?>>

<They contacted me and asked if I would be interested in interviewing him.>>

<I haven’t even given them your name yet.
But if you want, you can take the job.
Maybe it will change your life?>>
