🔖Describe a time when you had to change your plan

🗣Last summer, I had big plans to spend my holidays abroad. I was really looking forward to taking a break, recharging my batteries, and getting my second wind. After working tirelessly for so long, I felt I truly deserved some time away to relax and unwind. However, as life often reminds us, things don’t always go according to plan. Just when I thought everything was set, I had a complete change of heart. Out of nowhere, I decided to refurbish my office instead.

At first, it seemed like a great idea. After all, a fresh and modern workspace could boost productivity and create a more welcoming atmosphere for both my students and employees. But, of course, refurbishing an office is no small feat. It required a significant financial investment, and soon, I realized that I couldn’t afford both a holiday abroad and an office makeover at the same time. So, after careful consideration, I opted for the latter. Once the renovation began, I quickly understood that it wasn’t just about money, it also demanded a lot of time, energy, and patience.

The process was exhausting, and I must admit, there were moments of regret. Without a holiday to reset my mind, I became more susceptible to stress, and as the months passed, I found myself on a much shorter fuse. There were times when I wondered whether I had made the right choice whether prioritizing my workspace over my well-being had been a wise decision.

However, when the refurbishment was finally complete, I started seeing the positive impact of my choice. My office had a brand-new look, and the change in atmosphere was remarkable.

🔖Describe a sport you like

🗣Honestly, I have to admit that I’m not very sporty, but once in a blue moon, I do enjoy watching a game. The sport I particularly like to watch especially with friends is football. It’s often called “the game of millions” because of its immense global popularity.

I first developed an interest in football during childhood, largely because of my elder brothers. They were all passionate about the sport, and whenever they watched it at home, I had no choice but to join them, changing the channel wasn’t an option. Over time, I grew to appreciate it myself, and eventually, I became a fan.

The team I support is Real Madrid, and my idol is Cristiano Ronaldo. To me, he’s not just an incredible footballer but also a true health icon. While I don’t watch every game my favorite team or players compete in, I do enjoy keeping up with Ronaldo’s personal life on social media.

As for playing football, I do take part in it occasionally, mostly with friends on weekends as a way to relieve stress and stay active. However, these moments are quite rare. I wish I had more time to engage in the sport, but at the moment, my heavy workload makes it difficult to fit into my schedule.

That said, football remains one of my favorite sports both to watch and, when possible, to play.

🔖Describe a time when you had a special cake

🗣I have quite a sweet tooth, and one memory that remains vivid in my mind is the time my students and co-workers surprised me with a special cake to celebrate a major milestone in my life. A couple of months ago, I secured a 9.0 in the IELTS, a significant achievement that truly called for a celebration.

To my complete surprise, my students took it upon themselves to mark the occasion in the sweetest way possible. They organized a small but heartfelt surprise and presented me with a chocolate cake, my absolute favorite. But this wasn’t just any chocolate cake; it had “9.0” beautifully printed on it, making the moment even more special.

The cake itself was stunning, adorned with fresh fruit garnishes and some extra decorative touches that made it look as delightful as it tasted. What made this experience even more meaningful was the fact that I got to share the cake with my students. We all sat together, celebrating not just my personal achievement but the collective joy that came with it.

🔖Describe an article on health that you read

🗣An article I recently read turned out to be quite informative and even a little eye-opening for me. It focused on health, more specifically, on how to prevent cardiovascular diseases. This topic is quite personal to me because, genetically, I’m prone to heart problems. Unfortunately, heart disease runs in my family, so it’s something I’ve always been a bit concerned about, but never really took seriously until now.

A couple of weeks ago, while scrolling through my Instagram feed, I came across this article. I follow several health-related pages, and one of them posted something that instantly caught my attention. The headline read: “How to Make Your Heart Run Smoothly.” The title alone was enough to spark my curiosity, so I clicked on the link to read more. As I went through the article, I found it genuinely useful. In fact, it made me reflect on some of my own habits that I hadn’t really questioned before. For example, before reading it, I rarely walked or exercised, and I paid little attention to what I was eating. These might seem like small things, but according to the article, they could have serious long-term consequences especially for someone like me who already has a higher risk of heart disease.

What stood out to me most was how persuasive the article was. It didn’t just list facts or statistics; it actually encouraged me to take action. After reading it, I felt motivated to make some real changes. I even took notes on the key points so I could start applying them in my daily life.
