I want to share a story with you about the time when I took an English proficiency test and scored really high, which was a significant accomplishment for me. I felt incredibly proud of myself for the hard work and dedication I put in to achieve this goal.

To prepare for the test, I created a study plan that involved practicing all four sections: reading, writing, listening, and speaking, but I gotta say I was struggling with the speaking and writing tests. 

So, to improve my writing skills, I made it a point to practice writing essays and receive feedback from my English teacher. It was challenging at first, but with regular practice and constructive feedback, I started to see a significant improvement in my writing. 

Meanwhile, I practiced speaking with my friends and classmates in English, listened to English music and watched movies to improve my listening skills. I found that immersing myself in the language really helped me to improve my skills and gain more confidence.

On the day of the test, I was a bit nervous, but I tried to stay calm and focused. Applying all the skills and techniques that I had learned during my preparation paid off. When I received my score, I was thrilled to see that I had achieved a high score and surpassed my own expectations. 

This high score on the English proficiency test opened up many opportunities for me, such as being able to study abroad and pursue my dream career. As I look back on this experience, I am proud of myself for setting a goal and working hard to achieve it. It taught me the value of discipline, persistence, and seeking help when needed. Most importantly, it showed me that with the right mindset and effort, anything is possible.

Which is more important, personal goals or work goals?

Certainly, I believe that both personal and work goals are important, but if I had to prioritize one, I would say personal goals are more important. It's essential to have a clear vision of what you want to achieve in your personal life, as it helps you to align your career goals and other aspects of your life towards that vision. For instance, my ambition is to become a published author, and I make sure that my work goals and other life choices are in line with that aspiration.

• prioritize: ưu tiên

• personal goals: mục tiêu cá nhân

• ambition: tham vọng

Have your life goals changed since your childhood?

Absolutely, my life goals have changed a lot since my childhood. As a kid, my dream was to become a famous actor or musician, but as I grew older, I realized that my interests and passions had shifted. Now, my goals are more focused on building a successful career in a field that I love and making a positive impact on the world.

• shift ~ change: thay đổi

• positive impact: ảnh hưởng tích cực

Does everyone set goals for themselves?

While not everyone may set goals for themselves, I believe that it is an important practice for personal growth and development. Setting goals can help you clarify your priorities and give you a sense of direction and purpose in your life. It can also motivate you to work harder and achieve things that you never thought possible.

• personal growth and development: sự phát triển cá nhân

• a sense of direction and purpose: ý thức về định hướng và mục đích

Do you think material rewards are more important than other rewards at work?

While material rewards are certainly important, I believe that other forms of recognition and appreciation can be just as valuable in the workplace. Personalized gestures like a handwritten thank-you note or public recognition can go a long way in making employees feel valued and motivated to continue doing their best work.

• material rewards: phần thưởng vật chất

• recognition and appreciation: sự ghi nhận và đánh giá cao

• personalized gestures: cử chỉ được cá nhân hóa
