SAMPLE ANSWER:

During the last two years, I’ve done lots of things. Let’s start with the university. I’ve
studied harder than I studied during my entire high school. There have been many
new subjects, many different projects, many field trips, and many demanding
teachers; in short, these two years have been exhausting, but I’ve enjoyed them.
Something that I haven’t done during these two years is visiting the relatives on my
dad’s side. They live in another country and I haven’t had time and money to go there.
