For me, I think to be at a high level in English has been my goal for two years now. I found it very difficult to be a good speaker and writer in this language. I don't know the reason, but maybe it's because I'm studying by myself or following the wrong approach. I don't know what the problem is, but I still have more than two years, and I don't have much interest, and I haven't reached a high level in this language. I need to be at least at a B2 academic level to use this skill to enroll in the university at Pratt. They require me to be at least at level B2. With this, I can continue my studies because I'm currently in the 8th grade, and I need to continue my education abroad. It's my dream, but I'm focusing on learning English and improving my level. To be honest, I started to feel that I can't reach that level without the help of professionals or private courses, but I can't afford private courses. I will make more efforts; maybe I can reach that level in the future.

Who do you think should be more responsible for protecting the environment, individuals or the government?

I think both should take responsibility. The government can make strict low-spilled recycling systems and give more money for green projects. However, individuals also matter. We can save water, reduce waste, and the public transport. Neither side can solve environmental problems alone, so they need to work together.
