[Speaking]

For a long time, I dreamed of studying at a college in China. So I dropped out of high school, and began preparing in earnest to study abroad. But Covid-19 broke out in China and the virus spread like a wildfire all over the world. There was a massive of damage. My desire to study in China started to fade.

 

So, I changed course and decided to apply to a college in Australia. I began to really study English. I started tuning into 입트영 on EBS Radio everyday. I also prepared for the IELTS test, I needed the a score of on that test to apply. Studying for several months with 입트영 really came in handy for the speaking portion of the test.

 

I hope that covid 19 will be brought under control quickly so that I can study at the college of my choice in Australia.
