43、te a good way to study. A variety of courses are usually available, including part-time and full-time courses. If you look around, you can probably find a course that suits your needs.

44、whom to practice your language. You will also be studying with others who are at more or less the same level and you can exchange ideas with them and help one another. One choice is to study a language in a country where its spoken. There are many schools teaching English, French, Spanish, Italian a

45、nd German, but far fewer teaching other languages. The main advantage of studying abroad is that you are totally in the language, not just in class, but the rest of the time as well.

46、se, but also of your food and travel. However, if youre a native speaker of English, you could get a job teaching English in a country where the language you want to learn is spoken.

I took all the advanced classes and tried to do well in the exams with my mind set on going to a key sc

51、hool. I just knew that I would somehow become famous and be able to afford the car and the dream house. All the way through junior years, my mind was planning this beautiful future.Then in the eleventh grade, many losses changed my mind. First, one of my friends died at 16. Soon after, my great-gran

52、dmother passed away, followed by my beloved fourth-grade teacher. These events left me not knowing what to do or where to go. Death had never touched me so closely.After a long period of emptiness, it finally struck me: Life is not promised and neither is future success. Though I was attempting to a

53、chieve material success, I was not enjoying my daily life. I realized that finding inner peace, purpose and happiness will stick with me forever and that is real success.Enjoying lifes precious quirks (偶发事件) makes an ordinary person more successful than a wealthy person who isnt content and takes ev

54、erything for granted. The summer before senior years, my attitude changed greatly. Instead of memorizing facts, I began learning skills. Instead of focusing on the future, I focused on today and the many blessings and successes that came with it.I still get excellent grades, but now I devote weeks t

55、o studying instead of struggling for exams, and I think about the future with a deeper sense of meaning.
