What goal & How long you've had this引出话题Alright, so...the goal that I've set for myself is to get into a top university in the world, like Oxford, Cambridge, or Harvard. I've had it ever since my first year in high school. I remember having this talk given by our school counselor, which really fired me up for pursuing higher education overseas, especially at those prestigious universities that offer better education and more opportunities.好，那我给自己设定的目标是------考进世界顶尖大学，比如牛津、剑桥或者哈佛。这个想法从高一那会儿就有了。我记得当时学校升学顾问做了一次讲座，真的是点燃了我对出国留学的热情，尤其是去那些教育资源更好、机会更多的名校。
How you will achieve it 如何实现Well, in order to get into a top university, first of all, I need to work hard to maintain excellent grades, you know, passing those mid-terms and finals with flying colors is a must.
嗯，想进顶尖大学，首先，我得努力学习，保持优异的成绩，期中期末考都得高分，这个是必须的。

On top of that, I've already started researching the admission requirements for various universities, so I know exactly what I need to prepare and what they're looking for.
除此之外，我已经开始去查各个大学的招生要求了，这样我就能清楚知道需要准备什么、学校看重什么。
Plus, I've also participated in quite a few academic competitions, extracurricular activities, and volunteer projects, to build a strong resume/CV, which I think really help strengthen my overall profile. So yeah, I'm putting in a lot of effort and doing everything I can to make it happen. 另外，我也参加了不少学术竞赛、课外活动和志愿者项目，来丰富我的简历，我觉得这些真的能提升我的综合背景。所以，嗯，我一直在尽全力，做所有能做的事，争取实现这个目标。
And explain why you set it 原因And the reason why I set this goal, well, mainly because I've had some people tell me that these universities are way out of my league. So, I'm determined to prove them wrong.至于为什么定这个目标嘛，主要是因为之前有人跟我说，这些大学对我来说高不可攀。所以，我就下定决心要证明他们是错的。
Another reason is that I really look up to Eileen Gu, who is a well-known Chinese freestyle skier. She actually got into Stanford a few years back, and I want to follow in her footsteps.另一个原因是，我真的很崇拜谷爱凌------那位很有名的中国自由式滑雪运动员。她前几年就考上了斯坦福，我也想追随她的脚步。
So yeah, I mean, If I could get into one of those unis, that would be awesome.所以，对，如果能考上其中一所，那就太棒了。
