Toeic speaking test

I am interested in TOEIC speaking test, because I am going to take this test. So I investigate it this time.

1.     The background of speaking test’s appearance

Main companies require you to submit the score in TOEIC speaking test.
Because main companies actually want their employees to fluently speak English with a foreign buyer.
For now, we estimate the speaking ability through reading and listening in TOEIC test.
But, this is a good way to estimate your speaking ability. It is TOEIC speaking test.
ETS that made TOEIC reading and listening makes TOEIC speaking test with testing and checking information about English used in the world.

India travel

Last summer vacation, I went India with my friends due to my project though 'catch the world program' held from school. Investigating IT (information technology)of Indian Universities and Indian culture were my projects goal. Travel period was 21days. Bangalore, Mumbai, and Delhi were places in which I visited. 
 1.Bangalore
When I arrived in Bangalore, that days weather was good. In the morning, people were going to school and work. I got the bus and went to the center of Bangalore.



Lodge-I stayed at a hotel. Hotels name was Royal lodge. Royal lodge was clean and the master of lodge was kind.
Transportation-Next day I went to Mumbai by the train. India train was designed with beds that could be not only a bed but also a chair.
India train had a gadget for charging the cell phone on the train.
I met Indian women. They are so kind. I slept in trains bed. Next day morning I had a breakfast on Indian toast.

 2.   Mumbai
Mumbai University-I visited Mumbai University in Mumbai. Mumbai university was famous for IT(information technology)and one of the oldest and premier Universities in India.
Transportation- Mumbais transportation system was better than other cities, because Mumbai roads consisted of signal lamps and Mumbai people waited well for the traffic light to change.
Mumbai had an electric railroad. Mumbais electric train hasnt doors, so I took care for not falling from the train.

Food-Before I got the train going to Delhi, I ate Indian hamburger. Indian hamburger was made with cabbage, korokke fried with vegetables, and tomatoes. The taste of hamburger was delicious because I was very hungry.


When I went to Delhi, I got the train. The inside design of train going to Delhi was similar to the train going to Mumbai.
There was difference between pre train and post train. Post train provided me with foods. First, I was given Indian tea that was called JJAI. Second, Indian diner that consisted of rice and curry and chicken was given to me. Third, ice cream was provided for me. I slept in the train. Next day in the morning I had breakfast on Indian toast.
3.   Delhi
Delhi is capital of India and has a lot of people.
  
Delhi University-I went to Delhi University to investigate students idea and interview students. Delhi University students were so kind and answered my questions about IT(information technology) well.

Delhis famous places-

India gate- India gate was built in1931 for remembering dead soldiers in war between England and India. When I went to India gate, India gate was under repair.
  









The palace of president- the palace of president was located in the center in Delhi and guarded strictly by policemen.



















Red port- Red port was big and beautiful. This port was made with red bricks and place for resting for Indian couple and family.



IIT UNIVERSITY- IIT University is famous for genius students. After I visited visiting department, asking to admit my visiting, I was accepted from the university. IIT university students kindly answered my questions. Although this University was on vacation, many students attended to their studies with diligence in library.

In the end, when I arrived in India, I was embarrassed for life way and culture of Indian people. After a few days, I got used to Indian life and liked Indian foods. If I have a chance to go to India again, I will go to other places in India
