Polished transcript:

Male Female

I have many ambitions in my life, but the one ambition that I am working on right now is to pursue higher education in Canada. Earlier, I did not have any plans to go abroad, but a conversation with my friend who went to Canada changed my opinion. He told me about the difference in the quality of education and the work opportunities available there. After completing my senior secondary education, I decided that it would be the best opportunity for me. There are two main requisites to get admitted to a good Canadian college. The first is good grades in senior secondary education. My grades are pretty satisfactory, so I did not have to worry about that. The second is a good score in an English language test like IELTS or TOEFL. I learned that Canadian colleges give preference to IELTS, and hence I am taking the IELTS exam. For the past two to three months, I have been practicing for the exam. I ordered the Cambridge books and started my preparation with them. There is a lot of free material available on the internet, so I used that to prepare myself. I practiced for about eight hours every day, trying to cover every module twice. For listening and reading, I did not need much help; I just practiced and looked at test papers.
