For Satoshi, studying English was to memorize all the rules and words to pass the exams for a long time. When he studied for the TOEFL, too, he memorized grammar rules with the TOEFL preparation book and it worked for the TOEFL. He tried to use the same strategy to pass the CAEL. He confesses that as he did not bring a grammar book from Japan, he had his parent send him the grammar book right after he came to Canada. He says that his first class, IC 10, was too easy for him, so he felt he had to study by himself to pass the CAEL. However, he quit studying the grammar book in a few months.
