London University is one of the (highly) appreciated universities in the world, therefore, I wanted to be accepted there. But I was lucky and I was accepted there. I (had to) make two trips to London before I started one for the interview and another to find accommodation. The university provided students with information about flats. By the time the semester began, I (had already found) a place to live and a roommate. While I was studying, I didn’t think about work and how I (am earning) my living after university. When the time came, I realized that languages had always interested me so I applied for several jobs to teach English abroad. Obviously, I didn’t have any experience but I thought I had a small chance of (being accepted). In the end, a letter came and I felt nervous as I opened it. But the news (was) good! The letter offered me a job in a Swedish school. I knew the winter weather in Sweden was cold so I bought some warm clothes. Then I had a farewell party and everyone wished me good luck in my new life as a teacher. Since then I (have had) a lot of jobs in different countries and I am happy to say that I have enjoyed all of them. But I have wondered many times what (would have happened) if that first letter had turned me down.
Our modern life is full of technical devices. Gadgets simplify our lives. Every day people use different devices. What concerns me, I usually use every day my mobile phone, MP3 player, notebook. Such things are very popular among people all over the world. These devices make life easier. With the help of them people can communicate at any time even if they are at a long distance. So I don`t imagine our life without such useful devices. But at the same time we shouldn`t be addicted to them. Sometimes we should spend time with friends, family, and be outside. Enjoy your life with or without gadgets!
