TOEFL TEST 徹底対策リスニング2，3周目完了。
どうもです。
というわけで，完了しています。
2週目か3週目かだとは思うけど，どっちかは忘れた。
たぶん2週目だと思う。
ずいぶんまえに1週目をやった時は，Day29 で，えらいむかついたけど，
今回は，音声を20%くらいアップしてやっているけど，そこまでむかつかなかった。
同じ教材をやっていることもその理由だとは思うけど，
リスニング力が，あのときよりは伸びていることを実感。
音声に慣れてきたら，スピード上げてリスニングするのは，まじでおすすめだと思う。
で以下が，チェックした単語。
たくさんあるどー。恥ずかしいことに，前回やったときにチェックした単語と
ほぼ同じ単語をチェックしたことになった。
これは復習がうまく機能していない，というか，
当時は復習をやろうとか思わなかったので，そのせい。
今回は復習しまっせ。
そのために，現在のバッファとポイントをレジスタにぶっこむコマンド(point-to-register)
と，レジスタに保存されている場所に飛ぶコマンド(jump-to-register) を覚えたし。
あと，org-mode やら，remember-mode を導入予定。
ほいじゃ，たくさんある単語。
たくさんあるので，問題編は省略。
