In this class, we will focus on the Reading Section of language exams such as TOEIC, and explain grammar and reading comprehension logically and carefully. I want you to learn in two steps from Basic Practice to More Practice, and acquire the ability to deal with a wide variety of problems through a confirmation quiz at the end of each class. In addition to answering questions, we will also incorporate stories about history and culture related to the English text.
