In the morning, after my online English conversation session, I took a speaking test. As a result, I had moved up a level. Despite years of continuous online English conversation practice and monthly speaking tests, I felt uncertain about whether I was actually improving, as the results seemed similar each time. However, AI makes judgments without empathizing with feelings.
Even during times when Sharu was feeling down due to poor health, continuing without fail proved to be worthwhile. Just as aiming for a higher level in horse competitions requires considerable effort, while English can be practiced alone, the presence of a partner horse significantly influences outcomes in the case of horses. This aspect differs greatly. Nonetheless, the key is to never give up and to persist.
Sharu is now enjoying a leisurely retirement.
