Now I'm going to talk about a skill I learned in my life. I can't remember exactly, but my life was very bad about 2 years ago. What I mean is my life was very bad because I had no discipline or hard work for my career or future. That is why I understood I should try something for my career or my future. A case in point is I learned by building school or reading books because that's very important for me, just very important for me. But just because this is very important doesn't mean it's ever easy. It's never easy because it requires a lot of time, hard work, discipline, and some money from you. But some people think it's not important or unnecessary for healthy or useful daily life. As far as I'm concerned, it's very important and very useful for everyone. And my second skill is my writing skill in the IELTS exam. Because my reading, my listening, and my speaking are very good and developed, but my writing skill is not enough developed. That is why I started learning how to write for the IELTS exam. My teacher taught me how to approach the IELTS writing exam. And I finally got 7 bands from IELTS.
