In the first year, I made a lot of new friends, all of who were so excellent. I felt great pressure during the second year. My scores went up or down and I felt so worrying. I told me that I needed relaxation. Listen to music was a good way. Besides, I would like to talk my friends, because they understood me. We would have some tea in the shop and then share secret.
