Decision making makes our path clear. In our daily life, we have to make a lot of decisions that play an important role in changing our lives. Some decisions prove to be beneficial, while others are negative. But today, I would like to discuss a time when I made a bad decision. I met my producer, Pran, who is going abroad for higher education. After my high secondary certificate exam, I decided to prepare for the IELTS exam, but I had no idea about the IELTS exam and I was weak in English. So, I made a decision to enroll in a coaching center called MET English Academy. They committed to providing all kinds of facilities, and my course duration was 4 to 6 months. However, I stayed there for around 6 months but did not improve my studies because they did not provide all the necessary facilities. After 6 months, I was not prepared for the IELTS exam because I had not completed all parts of the IELTS exam categories. I could not communicate with others in English, and I did not speak English fluently. This decision has caused me problems. It has not helped me develop my English language skills.
