... as I told you in the last postings have I achieved to the next level. I decided last week to change to a so called TOEFL-Class. And so I had today my first lessons in this class. Until now I got only little nice paperbacks with about 100 pages full with different exercises which were quite similar to them we have in Austrian English books. But today I got a huge tome with almost exact 700 Pages. And this course is completely different to the courses which I persolved in the last month. Instead of different exercises and sometimes even games are really rather hard and time-limited different tasks to be solved.
For example: You get four scientific texts of about summarized three pages with 10 different multiple-choice questions and you have to finish this in exactly 10 minutes. I'm really proud that I got almost the highest score (but I have to be honest, that most of the matters weren't really unbeknown by me, so I could reconstruct some problems though I didn't read the text very exactly or missed some words. It would have been a bigger problem, if the the text's had been taken out of an economical or iuridical compendium).
Until now I don't know if I will do this test in fact, because it is quite expensive (CAD 185,-), rather challenging - you have to do it through internet and lasts 4 hours with only one brake of 10 minutes after about two hours. After finishing this test you'll get a certificate with your test-score and this score supposed to be over 80% - with this score you will be accepted as student at Toronto University (and I think at other English speaking universities too - except of Harvard, MIT, Stanford, Cambridge, Oxford - for this Universities you have to have a better score, I think - but they have another additionally rules too). So you see there is for me a lot of to do the next four weeks.
Oh - I forgot to tell you, that yesterday I got an e-mail from F. Superior. He told me that he had spoken with Archbishop Petipás from Grouard-MacLennan (you know, he is the bishop with whom I spoke a few weeks ago about to come into his diocese). In the next few days I'll get a letter from him, in which will be written, that he invites me to come to his diocese. I'm really excited and courious about what to do and what my purposes will be.
God bless you all togethe
