Speaking Part 2

Question

Describe a goal you achieved that you are proud of. You should say what the goal was, what steps you took, and explain why it mattered to you and how you felt afterwards.

Model Answer

I will talk about passing a professional English exam I had been avoiding for a long time. I signed up, joined a small , and made a clear timetable. I read articles every morning and did timed writing tasks. It mattered because the certificate can help with my job applications. The week after I got the result I felt a huge weight lift off me, and I was proud of myself for staying disciplined. I have since tried other challenges with a bit more confidence than before.
