1. MemoriesPass the entrance test and then start studying in CNNOne of the unforgettable memories in my life until now is when I knew I had passed the

entrance exam forCNN. It was in the afternoon in the summer when I was still sleepingthe air-conditioned room as usual. My grandfather walked in, woke me up just by sayin

Your mom has just called me, she said you have passed the entrance exam forCNN. A

soon as hearing the news, I got up quickly, ran out of the air-conditioned room, turned o

the computer. I have never got up at once when I was woken up by my parents or my

grandparents, especially when Im in a deep sleep in a cool roomlike that. I cant believ

Did I really pass? I was full of surprise and excitement. I thought others must do the test

better than me. Having turned on the computer, I looked up formy marks and was surpr

again. I havent ever thought I could get scores as high as those. That was the happiestmoment in my life. My grandparents smiled at me merrily and congratulated me on pass

that exam. I was too happy to say anything. All I could do was to smile. I strongly belie

that I was really lucky. Then I started to look up for my friends scores. I guessed she

passed the exam. I just wanted to see how high her scores were. However, she didnt. I

didnt want her to be sad so I decided not to inform her but to let her find it out herself.

Indeed, the next morning, she texted me, telling me that she failed the exam and

congratulated me on passing it. It was an awkward moment to see her sad while I was in

very good mood. Anyway, it is the memory I will remember all my life, the moment wh

knew I could go to the school that I always dreamt of.
