1. Reading skill
First, choose the book I am interested in or a text book would be great. And then use spare time. For example, while I go to school in the subway, I take a book and read it. It takes a few minutes but I can also concentrate on the book easily. I think important thing is not the qauntity I read a day but even though quantity is little, constant reading can improve my reading skill. There are two case. One is I read 100 pages for 2 hours, just one day. And the other is I read 10 pages for 30 minutes every day. The last one is more helpful for train.
2. Summary skill
Every time, after I read a book, think about the whole story in my mind. I had better start with the short story like an article. Reading an article fast and concentrately helps summarizing the contents. And also while I'm reading, I underline every key words I consider as important. It is best way to upgrade summary skill for me. For example, after I read an article a day, I explain the news to my friends.
3. Comprehension Questions
I think first two methods can solve this problem. If I totally understand the whole story, there can't be no problem. When I face the conprehension Questions, I should memorize the important parts. If I summarize the contents well, answering the questions will be easy. The answer should consist of my own words, and obviously the point should be same too.

Movie
1. Title: Illusionist
2. Type of film: Mystery Romance
3. Director: Neil Burger
4. What was the movie based on? (a book, a true story, biograophy, etc.)
The movie was base on the book, a Pulitzer Prize work. It is ''The Barnum Museum'' which is written by Steven Millhauser.
5. Setting: This is the movie with vienna in 19c as its setting.
6. Cast and characters: Edward Norton was casted for main actor, Eisenheim who is a illusionist. Jessich Biel was casted for main actress, Sophie who is officially the Crown Prince's fiancee and also Eisenheim's lover.
7. Plot summary: Once upon a time, a boy and a girl loved each other. But they differed in social standing, so they could't be together. One day, suddenly the boy whose name is Eisenheim left the village without saying anything. Few years later, he came back. He had already been a great magician. Because of his fame, the Crown Prince was also interested in his magic. Actually he wanted to find out magic trick to make Eisenheim feel humilliated. That is why the Crown Prince invited Eisenheim. There was the woman who used to be Eisenheim's lover and also she was the Crown Prince's fiancee at that moment. When they met, they noticed each other. They started to meet secretly, that is a dangeroust job. At last, it was found out. They had to plan the way that nobody distured their love. During their plan, Sophie unexpectly died. Actually this accident was also part of their plan. She did not die, it was all fake. Eisenheim played tricks on everybody ultimately, he manipulated people to believe that the Crown Prince killed Sophie. In short, truth is everything was tricks he made to be with Sophie.
8. Personal opinion: The story was not just simple. Because the ending was unexpected, so I was really surprised. In the movie, the magic show was also exciting. I realized that magic is based on the scientific facts. When I watch a magic show, I guess it would rather just enjoying the show than trying to find the tricks. I can recommend this movie to others.

Advice
I like Japan. So I want to go Japan and study, but my mom want me to go America. Because, most of company requires ro speak English well.
What I have to do? I'm not well in Japanese, so I have to srudy Japanese for years, I think. If I go to both contries, it would pay a lot, and it would take so long, I think. Should I do what I want to? Or whould I have to appreciate mom's decision?
Dear. Confused Girl
First, let's focus on that you want to learn Japanese. I think that is the most important thing you need to consider. In my opinion, everyone must do what they really want to do. That can make our life more challenging and worthy. What does matter that learning Japanese takes more long time? Think about your priority!!!! Which is your priority time or aptitude?
If you choose your mother's decision, time could save. But someday you might regret about giving up learning Japanese. At that moment, you can't blame anyone but you. I never want you to do those kinds of things. And If you study Japanese hard, you might speak Japanese frequently. And also I am sure that you could find a job easily. So don't worry about employment. I hope my advice can help you. I give you an advice but choice is yours. Good luck!!
