I think going to university was a big change in my life. I moved into a dorm on campus so I have to be more

every day and manage my time well.
Over to you
Sample answers
1. I agree with many of the milestones, but I would change some of them. I’d remove “being born.” I would
also take out “buying your first house” and add “getting your own place” instead. I would also add
“taking a solo trip.”
2. I removed “being born” and added “taking a solo trip.” Being born is important, but I don’t think it’s a
milestone. You don’t remember it, and it’s not something that changes how you think or feel. I added
“taking a solo trip” because I think it’s an important event. I think the experience changes you a lot. I took
out “buying your first house” and added “getting your own place” instead. Many people don’t buy houses
these days, and I think moving out of your parents’ house and getting your own place is more significant.
Whether you lease a house or own a house, there isn’t a big difference in your everyday life. But when
you get a place to live on your own, it’s very different from living with your parents.
