Alright, let’s get started. Now I’m gonna tell you something that is incredible. Over the past year I studied as hard as I could and successfully achieved all of the certificates I needed such as IELTS, SAT and so on. Yeah, I haven’t told about it to anyone yet. I know, you might have got a question, so what is the connection between them and the topic? Probably two months ago it was about 29th of October. I collected and prepared a bunch of documents that are needed to apply for the university and submitted them. As you know, in order to get into university students should take a test, so I did, when they signed the test date which was about 15th of November. Finally, after a decade of waiting process, the results have just came out two or three days ago. The uni itself sent an email to me writing like this, we are glad you applied to our institution with this much knowledge of yours and we welcome you. And just a quick mentioning, you don’t owe us any tuition fee, cause of scores you got on tests. As you were, the only person who got 100% correct out of all questions. Varying for you, I’m on the 1st of January here, sincerely university. Once I read it, I was in shock for the next hours and didn’t know what to say, cause it was one of the most significant, important and positive messages I’ve ever got so far. Coming to the question of why, nowadays getting into university has become pretty competitive and it is the dream of my peers. Furthermore, most of the parents want their children to be knowledgeable enough. That is why my mood skyrocketed when I got the email and I’m sure no one ever can love over it now.

Alright, let's get started. Now I'm going to tell you something that is incredible. Over the past year, I studied as hard as I could and successfully achieved all of the certificates I needed, such as IELTS, SAT, and so on. I haven't told anyone about it yet. I know you might have a question: what is the connection between them and the topic? Probably two months ago, around the 29th of October, I collected and prepared a bunch of documents needed to apply for the university and submitted them. As you know, in order to get into university, students should take a test, so I did, when they set the test date for about the 15th of November.
