  related to: having to do with, having an association with; in this context the student

                       needs to take courses that are related to business; “She is tired of taking courses
                       related to her major; now she just wants to take classes for fun.”

                     deadline: a time when something is due, when it has to be done; “I am hoping that
                       we will finish this project by our deadline.”

                     closely approach: to get closer and closer to a certain point or destination in a short
                       amount of time; when something is closely approaching it means you are very near
                       to  that  time;  “The  baby’s  due  date  is  closely  approaching  and  we  still  aren’t

                       prepared.”
                     guides me: to guide is to help someone by showing them a way or by giving specific

                       information or assistance without actually doing the task for them; “The teacher
                       guides us in how to learn proper study techniques.”

                     analyzed  my  personality:  to  examine,  assess  or  evaluate  your  personality  from
                       different points of view; you can take a personality test like the Meyers-Briggs to
                       help see your patterns and propensities; “My mother is a psychologist and she loves
                       to analyze people’s personalities to see what makes them tick.”

                     regret: to feel sad, repentant, or disappointed over (something that has happened or
                       been  done,  especially  a  loss  or  missed  opportunity).  “He  regretted  not  having

                       attended college sooner.”



               19. The stage of life that you have enjoyed the most.
                            You should say:

                       what stage it was
                       what you used to do during that stage
                       where you were during that stage
                       who you spent time with during that stage
                       and explain why you enjoyed that stage so much.


                       SAMPLE ANSWER

                   -  Since my father has 5 siblings and each of them has two children, I have many
                       cousins who are around my age.
