Passing the exam was the resultof the teacher's explanation andadvice for the college interview,and constant practice. It wasalso the result of accumulating
failures from before. Even if you
make mistakes, if you follow
your goals without giving up, youwill deﬁnitely get good results!

I failed all the schools I wantedin the ﬁrst semester exam. It wasvery painful and I thought itwould be okay, but the teacher
gave me careful advice and I
decided to do my best until theend. Thanks to that, I did well on
all the late term exams andpassed. I accepted into theschool of my choice. I learned
that we should always try to go
one step further from what I
thought was good enough.

Be sure to ask your teacher or
senior students who passed theinterview to tell you how many
points you need to pass, howmuch eﬀort you need to make inorder to reach that point, andwhat points you should pay
attention to in the interview. And
keep looking at the path to pass
until you achieve it.

Advance preparation is essential
for taking the exam. Information
gathering is an important part ofthis. For example, one way is tolook at the ranking of thenumber of employed persons in
the industry you want to enterand decide which university you
want to go to. You need to startwith yourself, using the advice ofthe teachers as a starting place.

By studying hard I was able topass thanks to the ECC study
atmosphere. As a result, I wasable to acquire good learning
habits. I was well-preparedthanks to the teacher's careful
advice and repeated checks.
Universities do not accept basedon EJU scores alone.

I decided to go to this university
because I knew that my favorite
sport would become myprofession!

I have been interested in educational
psychology since my university days,and I have been working as a special
education activity support staﬀ since I
came to Japan. Through this role, I havebecome aware of the diﬃculties facedby children of Chinese descent living inJapan and I am eager to research theways I can provide psychologicalsupport to them. In preparation, I
practiced pronunciation, logicalresponses, and conﬁdently presented
my research during interviews.

Ms. HAN QIUYIResearch theme presentation

I spent every day until midnight readingbooks about international businessduring the last month before the exam.
While I believed that self-adjustment of
my mentality was crucial for exams, I
cannot forget how my homeroom
teacher helped me revise my research
proposal until late at night andsupported me throughout that process.

Reading specialized books

The classes on research proposal
writing and Japanese grammar wereparticularly helpful. By having myresearch proposal corrected, I wasable to become aware of the grammar
mistakes I had been making. Knowing
the correct methods improved myJapanese writing skills, and I could
answer essay and interpretation
properly in written exams, which led
me to my success

Mr. DENG SHUANGYU

China

ECC has excellent teachers, and thetrack record of successful seniors is
also remarkable. To prepare forgraduate school admissions, getting
accustomed to the Japanese-styleinterview format is essential, so
preparation is a must. Most
importantly, having clear goals and asense of urgency to take action
immediately are crucial. Setting mygoals and getting motivated right away
played a signiﬁcant role in my success.

Mr. CHEN XIAOSHUO

China

Ms. YANG YUHSUAN Taiwan

I enrolled in ECC on the recommendation of my Japanese language school
teacher. It was my interest inpromoting Japanese video games that
led me to apply for this graduate
school program. Every day, I studied
Japanese at ECC and read specialized
books on my own. During theinterview, it was important to express
my reasons for applying clearly. Not
only Japanese vocabulary but also
conversation skills were important.

During the research proposal
presentation at ECC, I had theopportunity to learn about the
research topics of other classmates. It
was like a university graduate class,where we asked questions about eachother's research and received
questions about our own. This
experience left a strong impression on
me. I used to struggle a lot withspeaking in public, but thanks to thisexperience, I was able to go throughthe interviews without feeling nervous.

Mr. XIE LEI

China

The interview preparation class helped
me with the oral exam. At the sametime, I think my Japanese ability has
improved. When I was asked questions
about my research at the interview, I
was able to answer with conﬁdence
because of the interview preparation
class.
