Well, today I’d like to talk about one of my difficult decisions that
had a very good result.It was also the toughest/most challenging
decision I had to make when choosing my University course. I
struggled to figure out a suitable major because I didn’t
comprehend my strength and how my future career would pan
out/be like. My family wanted me to study business but I don’t like
their idea because I find this is very boring. What’s more, I
couldn’t even meet the entry requirement of this business course.
As a result, I was quite nervous, especially you know when all of
my friends had chosen their fields of study successfully already.
Then I told everything to my friends and teachers. Some of them
really gave me the right advice as well as helped me find
information about some universities that were suitable for me.
Finally, I found a university and a major that I was passionate
about, which was logistics . Currently, I think this is the right
decision because in the future, this field will develop very strongly
and offer many job opportunities for people in my country. I think
if you have difficulty making the decision about any problems,
you should find people who have been experienced the same
things as you to evaluate your abilities.

I'm going to tell you about something very special that my father gave me.My laptop is
made by the HP corporation. My father bought this portable computer around two years
ago, when I was still in high school. My laptop is constructed of black plastic. It's also
not too big or heavy, at about 30 centimeters length and 20 cm wide,so I can easily
transport it anywhere I go.

With my smartphone, I have access to a vast amount of information as well as an

extensive range of useful capabilities. My laptop acts as a means of communication. It
enables me to maintain contact with friends and family despite geographical distances. I
also value the advantages of a laptop with a large screen, which allows me to multitask
and work efficiently. My laptop has also become a source of amusement for me. I watch
movies, listen to music, and play games with my pals. It's become a device on which I
rely for both work and enjoyment.

Even though my current computer is not as modern or elegant as newer models, I still
have faith in it. My laptop acts as a means of communication. It enables me to maintain
contact with friends and family despite geographical distances. I also value the
advantages of a laptop with a huge screen that allows me to work efficiently.

This is a highly important and valuable technological equipment for me because it was
a memorable birthday gift from my father. Because of its portability, convenience, and
efficiency, it has become a vital tool in my daily life. I couldn't have learned so much
valuable information and kept in touch with other family members as readily if I hadn't
had this laptop. It is the most special gift for me, and I will certainly treasure it.

I'd like to talk about a football competition that took place at my school at the end of the
previous year to commemorate the school's 60th anniversary. Both of my classmates
and I competed in this tournament.

It was a spectacular event held on my school's stadium, with all classes in the school
taking part in the contest. Such sporting events are organized by the school to promote
sportsmanship among students. Everything was incredibly well organized, and I was
very impressed with the overall appearance of the event. The competition began with a
massive fireworks show, which was followed by the unveiling of the school's football
teams. I must say that the meeting with the other teams at the school was really
intriguing.

When the match began.I was very nervous because of the roaring and cheering from
the audience. The match was fast and furious. . Both teams was desperate to win and
when our team scored the goal in the last minute , we felt delighted and the entire
stadium bursted out in joyful tears.

If it hadn’t been the goal in the last minute, we would have been eliminated from the
tournament. I will never forget this sporting event for the rest of my life.
