It's a pity that you didn't make it, but I'm sure you will next time. Let's keep studying hard. I can help you with the paper test as well if you'd like. Just let me know.

Thank you for the detail. Concerning the meaning in the No4. I remember the word,"fellowship" was used in TOEIC. When I saw the word, the first meaning that came to mind was "friendship." but it didn't make much sense there. Later, I looked it up in a dictionary, and I found it was used as a meaning of "scholarship." It seems that some English words can have a lot of meanings, which makes it hard for us to learn the language.
As for "squirrel," I found a site that allows you to listen to the sound available online. You can campare native sounds with your own, and I did. Then, I found mine is apparently wrong after all. My problem is it seeems that I CAN'T pronounce a hooked schwa (as in "girl" or "bird") in a right way. It sounds more like /ar:/ as in "gaurd" or "start". I'll try to work hard and upload a new one later.
