I want to talk about English language competition. It was approximately four years ago and it was held in Awa school. From different schools, the governors chose four or five students and from our school, me and my other four classmates accepted this competition. The competition was divided into four sections, three sections. The first one is reading. As we understand, we start to read the text and answer the questions. The second one is for checking the grammar. We did some grammatical tests. The third one is about drawing, showing illustrations. We chose one country and started to write. It is a main thing, such as traditional cooking or historical places. I think this competition was a milestone in my life. It helped me to find my way, assisted me to choose my career path. After this competition, I decided that I have an interest in language, so I decided to be an English teacher.

I want to talk about an English language competition. It was approximately four years ago, and it was held at Awa School. From different schools, the governors chose four or five students, and from our school, my four classmates and I participated in this competition. The competition was divided into three sections. The first one was reading. We started by reading a text and answering questions. The second section was for checking grammar, where we completed some grammatical tests. The third section involved drawing and showing illustrations. We chose one country and wrote about its main aspects, such as traditional cooking or historical places. I think this competition was a milestone in my life. It helped me find my way and assisted me in choosing my career path. After this competition, I decided that I have an interest in language, so I chose to become an English teacher.
