1) My score was good than I thought, because I anticipated the worst my score. I can't believe it is my score, but I studied very hard about this test.

2)I had many fine mistakes. I had to write "to reserve", but I wrote "to reservetion". Taboo or Not taboo questions, I wrote"birthday's year", but correct answer is "birthyear". I'm really chagrined those mistakes.

3)I think my best countermeasure is "repetition practice". Because I have a bad habit of tense. I need to improve it and study more hard.
