Okay, now I want to talk about that one day I received a very pretty good news from my mother. And that was the day in the morning when I was sleeping my mother came to me and she woke me up and she said that you entered the special school that I applied two months ago. And I was very happy because I prepared a lot to enter this private school because this private school is very modern and its teachers are very smart and very professional and I thought that if I enter that private school I would enter any kind of universities that I want. So before applying to this private school I attended some courses, English and Math courses to enter this private school and my mom also wanted to study this kind of school because you know when mother’s children enter some kind of good schools they are proud of their children. So I thought that I have to enter this private school and I prepared and attend courses a lot. And when I heard this kind of news I was very happy and I wanted to share this news with my father too. And of course my father was so proud of me and when he heard this news he promised me to buy some gifts for me in the future. And I think this news was the most memorable and very happiest news that I have ever heard in my life.

Okay, now I want to talk about that one day I received very good news from my mother. It was in the morning when I was sleeping, and my mother came to me and woke me up. She said that I had been accepted into the special school I applied to two months ago. I was very happy because I prepared a lot to enter this private school. This private school is very modern, and its teachers are very smart and professional. I thought that if I entered that private school, I would be able to attend any kind of university I wanted. Before applying to this private school, I attended some courses, English and Math courses, to prepare for it. My mom also wanted me to study at this kind of school because, you know, when a mother's children enter good schools, they feel proud of their children. I thought I had to enter this private school, so I prepared and attended courses diligently. When I heard this news, I was very happy and wanted to share it with my father too. Of course, my father was so proud of me, and when he heard the news, he promised to buy me some gifts in the future. I think this news was the most memorable and happiest news I have ever heard in my life.
