First entry on italki

It's my first time being here and getting to know about italki!

I had never known about its existence before, and I want to keep practicing my English ability skills by exploiting utilizing this website [Note: "to exploit" is sometimes used as a more negative verb, similar to "to abuse" or "to take advantage"] ..... but maybe I'm too idle to continue.... I hope I will exert myself.

Recently, I have been worrying about whether or not I should take a the TOEFL test exam or not. I thought that if I studied hard, I can could get a good enough grades to apply to be an exchange students, but it wasn't as easy as I imagined. This arduous test asked me to produce better results in a limited amount of time, which makes made me nearly choke. how come it is Why is it so difficult to express my own ideas and summarize main topics and details? just Simply a lack of ability? I have no idea. I want to go to graduate school as well. In order to attend, it the TOEFL is mandatory. Ergh, I might as well go study it now!

Good job! Don't be discouraged - learning languages takes a lot of practice, and not just studying or reading. Speaking the new language helps a lot. Good luck! :-)
