On Zoom we discussed his experiences and efforts to study abroad in Korea. he said that he had taken the IELTS test 3 times and spent around 9 million rupiah. However, his IELTS score did not reach the target. Sis Alfian intends to raise the money again to try the IELTS test and this motivates me not to give up easily. Brother Alfian also said that he was able to study abroad in Korea because he received a scholarship from POSCO. However, he only studied abroad for a short time because if he wanted to continue studying abroad, he would spend more money, whereas what Brother Alfian wanted was to study abroad with a full scholarship so that he wants to take IELTS test again.

         This text talks about how studying abroad isn't just about having fun and exploring new places; it's actually a great way to boost your critical and creative thinking skills.
