Male Female

So when I was in 10th grade, I didn't use to study. I'm not a study guy, and I don't like to study. I spent most of my time on other activities. When exams were approaching, I had no preparation, and I was very worried about what I could do in the exam. So, by taking the name of God, I attempted all my exams, but I didn't think I would get good marks. After three months, when the results were announced, I thought I would fail. However, when my friend checked my result, he said that I had passed. It was a very enjoyable moment for me. I was very happy that I didn't study and still passed. When I told my parents that I had passed, they were also very happy, and I took admission in my desired college. It was very positive news for me that my friend gave me, and I really appreciate the examiner who checked my paper. My parents were very happy, and they granted me a new phone and a new laptop for further study. If I had failed, my parents would have been very angry, and they wouldn't have given me those things. So by passing the exam, I received all those gifts. This was positive news for me. I spent my parents' money on these gadgets, and in my moments, you can ask, it was a very positive vibe for me and the best news someone has ever given to me.
