gain more experience.

2. Can you recall a time when you took a big risk or faced a major
challenge?
I vividly remember that when I studied in class 12, I not only spent time

on learning Chinese. It was a major challenge for me. At that time, I needed
to manage time well in order to achieve the best results.

3. What kinds of challenges do people commonly encounter in their


work or studies?

and taking care of themselves.

experience.

I often encourage myself not to worry about the result because the best
success we always achieve is valuable experience we gain through
experience. And in the future I will become more mature.

success?
Yes, I think taking risks in business is worth trying. Because, if businesses
do not dare to challenge, they will always stand still, cannot expand and
develop, and even face the risk of being eliminated from the business
market by businesses that are willing to change and willing to accept risks.

10. Are there any risks you are hesitant to take in your future plans or
goals?

English?

don’t have the environment to practice this skill and sometimes it is hard for
me to express my thoughts because of the lack of vocabulary.
