During the year-end and New Year holidays, I went back to my hometown and spent time with my family. It was also my younger brother’s birthday, so I gave him a Tom and Jerry puzzle, which is his favorite. When he opened the present, he smiled a lot and looked very excited. Seeing him so happy made me feel warm and reminded me how important family time is, especially during the holidays. At the same time, the New Year period was not completely relaxing for me. Since the beginning of the year, I have been practicing hard every day for my Korean speaking test. In the previous semester, I could not speak well during the test, and my teacher became angry with me. That experience left a strong impression on me. After that, I felt anxious almost every day, and there were many nights when I could not sleep well because I was worried about the next test. However, I did not want to give up. I continued practicing speaking Korean from the New Year, repeating the same sentences again and again and trying to speak more confidently. Today, I finally took the speaking test. This time, my teacher did not get angry with me. When the test finished, I felt very relieved and truly happy. It made me realize that my effort was not meaningless. This experience gave me more confidence and motivation. I want to continue studying Korean with this positive feeling and keep improving step by step. I hope that I can face future challenges without being afraid and grow through my efforts.
