get into a prestigious university. Going to college is a major change too, because it is a new
experience, with new classmates, new teachers, and new teaching methods. In addition, many
young people attend college far away from their homes. They learn a lot at university, not only
about academics, but also about themselves and life in general. Later on, getting a first job is also
a significant stepping-stone in one's career. On top of this, a turning point could also be when
someone starts dating, and eventually gets married and has a kid. Having a child will definitely
change your life!
2. What could you do when you were younger that you cannot do now?
I guess that when I was younger, I had a lot more time than I do now to play and hangout with
friends. I remember when I was in primary school, I didn't have that much (= so much) homework.
I did not need to worry about anything. In addition, when I was younger, I could avoid
responsibilities. When something was difficult, I simply asked my mother for help. Nowadays, I
am on my own, and I must face challenges independently. I should also tell you that when I was a
child, I used to be very flexible. I could bend over and touch my feet. Nowadays, I am a bit stiff,
and I don't exercise so much anymore.
3. What changes in people's lives increase their happiness?
Well, many changes in one's life can make a person truly happy. Getting accepted to atop-notch (=
excellent) university is one, because it rewards students for their hard work. For me, if I do well in
the IELTS test, and later on get my visa to study in America, I will be thrilled! In addition, finding
a job and eventually getting promoted to a better position will definitely please people too. On top
of this, I believe that finding love and getting married makes many people quite happy. I have
heard many women say that the day when they gave birth to their child was also the happiest day
of their lives.
