Mao Shiyue
Accepted to School of Foreign Studies, Osaka University
My aim was to study social science and psychology at Kansai University. To get that achieved, a good EJU score was crucial.
I looked for a school in Osaka where I could prepare for it well, and I found Ehle. Teachers were very motivated, very supportive, and gave good and interesting classes. The school environment was great, and I really enjoyed my days there.
I think what improved my academic skill the most was the a lot of reading and listening tasks I did in essay writing class and EJU class. When I got accepted to the department in Kansai University as I’d wanted to, I didn’t stop studying hard there because, then, I decided to also shoot for Osaka University. Applying to Osaka University, too, was a suggestion I’d got from my friends and mentors. And I passed. To everybody who is studying to go onto higher education now, I want to say you should keep on working hard even after school each day.
