(Answer)The most important event in my life was……..This year i finished my studies at school / finished school, which i think is the most important thing in my whole life. (Why?)This was really important for me because….. I communicated with my teacher and my classmates, we usually did / used to do exercises together and we usually went out of school to take a trip. (What)  At school i could learn more and more of what / a lot of things that i had never learned before. For the last few years, I have been a law student and at that time I always recited the law books. As my dream is to be a lawyer, I thought learning more professional things was helpful for me. I think being a lawyer is so amazing because I can help people from different areas to sue bad people.

The most important even in my life was (finishing school). (What?) I graduated from school with quite high scores, which helped me to realise the importance of studying hard. (Why?) This was really important for me because….(helped to become an adult). (When?) At that time I was 18 years old and so most of my life had been spent at school, so leaving was a huge thing for me. (Repeat answer) So that was probably the most important event in my life so far. 

Who is the most important person in your life?

Who are they? How did you meet them? What are they like? 

The most important person in my life is Mr Wang who was my dancing teacher. I studied with him when I was 10 years old. The first time I met him was in dance class and I thought he was so strict because he never smiled which made us all afraid. He always asked us to do more and more difficult moves / things. At that time I was very young so I thought it was too hard for us and I always could not finish the moves but with my maturity I think it is helpful for me. In conclusion / summary Mr Wang is the most important person in my life. 

strict = a strong teacher / boss / parent

travel – v

trip – n

eg. we took a trip to australia, and travelled around. It was a really nice trip.

i do sth with you 

we do sth together
