You should say:
What it is?
Why you haven’t achieved it?
What you did?
And how you felt about it?

Introduction:

• I have many ambitions in my life.

What it is?

• But the one ambition that I am working on right now is to go for higher education in Canada.

Why you haven’t achieved it?

• Earlier I didn’t have any plans to go abroad, but a conversation with a friend who went to Canada changed my opinion.
• He told me about the difference in the quality of education and the work opportunities available there.
• So after completing my senior secondary education, I decided that it would be the best opportunity for me.
• There are two main requisites to get admission in a good Canadian college.
• The first is good grades in senior secondary education.
• My grades are pretty satisfactory. So, I didn’t have to worry about that.
• The second is a good score in English language tests like IELTS or TOEFL.

What you did?

• I learned that Canadian colleges give preference to IELTS and hence I am taking the IELTS exam.
• For the past two-three months, I have been practicing for the exam.
• I ordered the Cambridge books and started my preparation from them.
• There is a lot of free material available on the internet.
• So, I used that to prepare myself.
• I used to practice for about 8 hours every day.
• I used to try to cover every IELTS module twice.
• For listening and reading, I didn’t need much help.
• I just practised the test papers and looked at my mistakes after that, so I don’t repeat them.
• For speaking and writing, I joined a coaching institute and their teachers helped me a lot.

And how you felt about it?

• I hope to get good bands, so I can move ahead to the next step, which is to apply for an offer letter from a Canadian College.
• I don’t think it has been an easy journey.
• English is not my first language and I have had to practise really hard.

Conclusion:

• But I hope the fruits of the efforts will definitely be worth the struggle.
