Polished transcript:

Male Female

Today, I'm going to talk about a time when I had to do something in a hurry. It was during the university entrance exam while I was taking the literature test. I realized that I had forgotten to write the last paragraph of my essay, which was the conclusion. I had only around 10 minutes to complete it due to the time limit. The exam was extremely important and had a significant impact on every student's life. I was stressed and scared to see how my lack of focus had resulted in such a situation. Despite that, I managed to pass the test with a high score of 8. Looking back, it feels like a nightmare that I want to forget. Most of us only go through such a thing once in a lifetime, so I truly value that moment.
