Polished transcript:

Male Female

Well, two years ago I lived in Japan where I started my master's degree in law. It was my first time living alone, far away from my family. It was an incredible experience, but it was hard for me as a girl who had lived her whole life with her family. I had to adapt to that situation of living alone because without this skill, it would have been hard for me to stay there and continue my studies. However, I really wanted to get my master's degree there. It was challenging, but I decided to explore different places to get to know the city where I lived more deeply. I visited various parks and malls to see how Japanese people lived. I also had a lot of friends with whom I could hang out and feel like I wasn't alone. We traveled to different cities and prefectures of Japan. It was a nice time for me and my friends because, as I mentioned, it was something new for me, and I had to experience that.
