【Part2话题】雅思口语8分素材：改变的重要决定

　　I’d like to talk about an important decision that I made three months ago when I was isolated at home with my parents during the outbreak of COVID-19.The coronavirus pandemic is causing uncertainty in all corners of our life.My parents and I mucked around at home for nearly a month.

　　The new decision I made was to study abroad for a master’s degree after my graduation.I had this idea in my junior year,but I was not confident of myself.I concerned that I was unable to get an offer from my dream school.Driven by this thought,I began to hunt for jobs by sending out my resumes on job site.

　　When it comes to why I made this decision,honestly,I was terrified of the impact of the coronavirus.It felt impossible to predict what the world will look like next week,let alone next year.Under the influence of COVID-19,job opportunities have been greatly reduced.The feedback of my job interview was far from satisfaction.Life is short.I should try my best to realize my dream and leave no regrets.

　　This new decision gives me hope for the future.Since then,I’ve worked hard to prepare for the language test and application materials for my dream school.I have no idea what the result of the application will be,but at least I can say that I tried my best.
