合格 I passed it!

昨日、６月に受けたケンブリッジ検定（ＰＥＴ）の結果が出たのでＨＰで確認。
無事合格（１００点中８０点）！９月末までには合格証書が郵送される予定。

ケンブリッジ検定というと何だか大層な試験のように聞こえるが、レベルはピンキリ。今回のＰＥＴは下から２番目なので、あまり威張れたもんでもない。
とはいえ、この合格証書はＴＯＥＩＣ等と違って生涯有効。そして今回この検定を受けたことで、次回もう一つ上のＦＣＥを受ける為の自分の直すべき点もわかった（読み書きのスピードアップ、聞き取りと話す能力の向上等）。

まずは一安心。

Last night, I checked my result that I had took the Cambridge exam(PET) in June, on the website. There was written "PASS"(80 in 100points)!!
The certificate is going to be sent to my flat by the end of September.

The exam sounds somehow very hard but it has several levels for person's skill. And PET(Preliminary English Test) is second level from the bottom so that I shouldn't boast of my success very much.
Whereas, the certificate is valid for my whole lifetime(that's different from other exam such as TOEIC).
What the exam has shown me is my recent English level and what I must revise for FCE that the next level exam: to improve my speed for reading and writing, to improve my skill for listening and speaking, etc.

Anyway, I sighed with reliaf...
