Polished transcript:

Male Female

So as an ambitious man, I really want to complete my study in a foreign country because, to be honest, I don't have the money to study in my own country. So I thought that it was a good idea to study in China, which is really far away from my own country. And the reason is because it is really cheap there. It suits my economic state and the education level and the living conditions in China are not that bad. How I made the decision actually was because I got advice from my big brother who told me to follow my dreams and hope for the best. It was a really difficult decision to make, but I'm happy that I made it. In about a week's time, I'll be in China. So yes, I'm nervous, to be honest, but I'm being optimistic that I will live there. I plan on putting my studies first before going back home to see my family, have a good time with them, and make a living in my hometown with the degree that I got from China.
