I did the TOEIC exam a couple weeks ago. I have
been studying English for almost 2 years and preparing myself to FCE Cambridge
exam. TOEIC was the first "real" test that a did. I felt that I
needed test myself, test my knowledge after all this time studying. Know my
"level".
I was in Miami traveling with my wife, wondering
how would be great if I could work and live abroad when I decided to send a
message to my English teacher. I wrote "You need to find a job for me
here"
He replied " hahahahaha"
" Take TOEIC"
" The tests have arrived"
" Easy"
Seriously, when he told me this I freaked out,
but at the same time everything became more clear. That dream could be coming
true. I just needed to take the first step and the TOEIC could be one of it.
We had this conversation on August 27. Less than
a month after, there was me, doing the TOEIC exam. It wasn't easy I need to
confess, but when I've finished I was confident that I could reach a good
result.
Last Wednesday, I received the result. I took 810
points of 990 possible. I'm classified as a C1 level. This is more than I was
expecting, to be honest. I'm very, very happy. Now, I will put this achievement
in my resume and keep studying to pass in the FCE exam. Meanwhile, I will start
to look for job positions abroad related to my abilities.
As I've already wrote here, if you want
something, you need to chase it. I have a dream and I will become this dream in
reality.
See you soon.
