I’d like to talk about a new environment which was in my past life, in our dear days of my life, has had impact on me and I had to adapt quickly to that situation. When I was in my A-Levels, I was preparing for my IELTS examination and at that time, when I first came on to the stage to speak English in front of the whole audience, I was shaking internally very much and I had to adapt myself more quickly. I had to calm myself down. It was more of an overwhelming situation for me and the environment was not very much suitable. At that time I think it was the breathing techniques I had learnt in my past was helpful and it made me calm down. I think it was a very subtle change in my behaviour and looking into the past right now, I think it was a good time. If I was not able to adapt this skill or make use of this skill, it would be a very difficult or challenging situation for me where I could not leap onto my future better for a better quality future. I am changing this.

I'd like to talk about a new environment from my past that had a significant impact on me, and I had to adapt quickly to that situation. When I was in my A-Levels, I was preparing for my IELTS examination. At that time, when I first came on stage to speak English in front of the whole audience, I was shaking internally and had to adapt myself quickly. I had to calm myself down. It was an overwhelming situation for me, and the environment was not very suitable. I think the breathing techniques I had learned in the past were helpful and helped me calm down. It was a subtle change in my behavior, and looking back now, I think it was a good time. If I had not been able to adapt this skill or make use of it, it would have been a very difficult and challenging situation for me, where I could not leap into a better future. I am grateful for that experience and the changes I made during that time.
