Okay, now I’m gonna describe a time that I was really busy. As I remember it was a couple of months ago when I had to make a presentation in front of a large audience. And at the time my teacher said you have a talent to speak in a large audience. That is why you should try to do this. At the beginning I hesitated a lot but at the end I decided to do this. One of my friends may say that I didn’t prepare enough for speaking in front of them. And at this time I did some kind of research with my close friends. They also helped me a lot because it was really complicated to do it by myself. Before beginning this task I sold a lot what to do, how I can arrange it. For this I planned my day without slipping. I worked for 24 hours. That is why I was really exhausted from this time. So I made a plan not only for my copy book but also for my telephone because when I was doing something then my alarm reminded me to do something in the next place. When I completed this task, when I presented my presentation to my peers I felt so happy and also I was proud of myself and my teachers also. Because no one could do this.

Okay, now I'm going to describe a time when I was really busy. As I remember, it was a couple of months ago when I had to make a presentation in front of a large audience. At the time, my teacher said I had a talent for speaking in front of a large audience, and that is why I should try to do this. In the beginning, I hesitated a lot, but in the end, I decided to go for it. One of my friends said that I didn't prepare enough for speaking in front of them. During this time, I did some research with my close friends. They also helped me a lot because it was really complicated to do it by myself. Before beginning this task, I thought a lot about what to do and how I could arrange it. For this, I planned my day without slipping. I worked for 24 hours, which is why I was really exhausted during this time. I made a plan not only for my notebook but also for my phone, because when I was doing something, my alarm reminded me to do the next task. When I completed this task and presented my presentation to my peers, I felt so happy and proud of myself, and my teachers were proud too, because no one could do this.
