Middage Express 202210 in Australia IELTS & Marathon

When I got a student visa, I set my goal in this journey. One was to take IELTS, with a score of 6.0. The other was to run a full marathon at the Perth Marathon. In terms of IELTS, I had been practicing at school. I was a little confident with writing because my teacher checked my diary daily. As a result, I got a score of 5.5. Writing:6.5, Reading:5.0, Listening:5.0, Speaking:5.0. Though I knew that I needed to focus on listening to and speaking, it clearly showed me.
Regarding marathons, I joined a marathon club after arriving in Perth. And then, I had been practicing at least two times a week, so I thought I could completely run this full marathon. However, I was not able to run completely. Sunshine in Australia was so strong on that day. So, I lost my energy quickly. I ran or walked randomly during the race. When I got to the goal, the time passed five hours from starting. I think that learning English and marathon are similar. To keep practicing is the most important.
