scholarships and how I would like to have a scholarship as soon as possible and to study abroad. Actually,
this conversation was on the phone a week ago. In fact, I think this conversation is important because it is
very informative and one of my dreams is to travel to study, for example, through this conversation, we
talked about studying in Canada and how we can apply to different universities in my language major. I am
planning in the future, one day to get the IELTS and be able to travel overseas. Although this conversation
was informative, I felt very stressed because scholarships need a lot of time and effort. Then I have to
spend a lot of money to take many courses to be ready to travel.
