What's your award?

Award is a form of appreciation for the achievements or the hard work that we have done. I have no award so much. The form of award that I have is scholarship. Thank God almighty when I was in elementary school I always got first ranking in my class. I always got first until I was in 4th grade. So as form of my accomplishment that I have I got scholarship. At that time I never paid school tuition. In elementary school me and my friends also joined the qiratul quran. It was a kind of a contest that you have to read quran well. And we won it. I also got scholarship from English course institute. When I graduate senior high school I studied at LIA English course. I got scholarship as an outstanding student for  three consecutive levels.

The TOEFL test no term failure and are not required to repeat. But TOEFL has the lowest  and highest score. TOEFL test is usually taken by students who will continue their education abroad. This is because the TOEFL test showed the ability in the English language, the higher score you get the more you show your English language ability. Students who have high TOEFL score is also one of the keys to enter the desired university. Because some countries such as Japan and America is usually a requirement that prospective students must have a high toefl score.

In Indonesia there are some institutes that provide TOEFL test. So this is your choise from what institude that provide TOEFL will you take. If you are interesting to school abroad. But the most important thing you have to do is you have to enrich your English. Maybe first thing you should do is you have to be brave to speak English. Brave to speak to the native. Don't be afraid to wrong. Because you never learn on something if you never do something wrong.
