TPO 8

Task 1

My parents helped me decide on my college major. It is important to me because it may change my life in a good way.

I used to make all the decisions by myself without consulting them, because I tried to be independent.

However, since this could have been the life-changing decision, I figured that I ought to discuss it with them. They sorted all the information about different universities and made a very important checklist for me. With their help, I found the most suitable school for me. (89 words)

Task 2

I think taking risks and trying new things is better, because that's the best way to explore life.

I myself am a life adventurer, and I always do things that might seem dangerous. I think life is short and I shouldn't be wasting any minute by staying where I am all the time.

My friend Jason, on the opposite, always avoids doing anything risky. He never wants to step out of his comfort zone, and he's never tried anything fascinating. I think life like that is too boring. (88 words)
