I wrote and posted another practice essay for the U.S. Foreign Service Written Exam (FSWE) today. If you have time, please look at it and comment. There is only 18 days left. I am nervous, but I want to get it over with fast. If I pass the FSWE, I'll have to go to the U.S. to take the Foreign Service Oral Assessment (FSOA). Most people taking the FSWE for the first time fail it though, so I do not suppose that I will make it to the FSOA level this year.

今日、アメリカ合衆国外交官ペーパーテストのための練習エッセイをもう一つ書きポストしました。時間があれば、見てコメントしてください。まだ18日だけがあります。緊張するけど、速く取り終わりたいです。ペーパーテストを合格すれば、アメリカで口頭試問を取ります。一回目、ほとんどの取る人はペーパーテストを失敗するので、多分今年、口頭試問のステップで上げられないかもしれません。
