Eiken test
There is an Eiken Test in Japan. It has 7 grades, and it is composed of three sections: writing, listening and an interview.
Many years ago, I took the test twice. First I took grade 3, second I took grade pre2. I passed both of them. A few months after the test, I thought I was going to take grade 2, and bought a workbook for the test. But it was too difficult for me to study, so I gave up.
In July of this year, my younger granddaughter tried the Eiken grade pre 2. She had studied very hard and passed. She is a third year middle school student, and she's good at taking tests. Next year, she has to take the high school entrance exam. The Eiken certification seems to be a great advantage for her.
I hope she can pass the all the exams she takes, and gets into the school where she wants to go!
Have a good day,
Yasuko

Hi Katherine,
Would you ever consider taking the test again? Anyway good luck to your granddaughter. Young minds learn quickly, I bet she'll do well.
Here are some points:
That's it! Take care,

Hello Jeremy,
Thank you for your correction. I could understood your some advice.
I would like to ask you about this sentence: she is a tast -taker. I want to say that she has to take some entrance exams to get into a high school next year. We call that kind of people 受験生 in Jaopanese. I looked up the 受験生 in a dictionary, ant it said a test-taker. If you have any proper word for it, could you tell me. I'm looking forward to your mail. Thank you!!
Best,
Yasuko

Hello Matthew,
Thank you for your mail. I could change my mail address easily.

Hi Yasuko,
You're right, 受験生 means "test-taker" but it's very rare and a little strange to use that style. It's better to say "she will take tests" or, more specifically "she will take high-school entrance exams." This style is the best if your meaning is neutral. In English "she's a test-taker" is slightly positive I feel, so that why I wrote "she's good at taking tests."
take care,
-Jeremy.
Hi Jeremy,
Thank you for your reply. I think this sentence is suitebule for my thinking "she will take high-school entrance exams."
It is really difficult to say something in English, but I never give up! I always thank your support.
Have a good day
Yasuko
Hi Yasuko,
I just noticed that you had shared this writing, and your email was there in the message to us. That made your email public! I think that if you do that, you can get a lot of spam or strange messages. I deleted that part, but because of that, the changes that Jeremy made can no longer be displayed. I am very sorry about that! (And sorry to you too Jeremy.)
Have a nice weekend,
Matthew
