136. 5:16in canberra australia at the australian
137. 5:19national university this year
138. 5:20but i had to postpone this because of
139. 5:23current pandemic
140. 5:25this is exceptionally important to me
141. 5:27because the school is ranked
142. 5:29top 100 in the world for its graduate
143. 5:31chemistry program
144. 5:33and it has one of the great professors
145. 5:35in the field
146. 5:36i've been preparing for this trip for a
147. 5:38couple of years
148. 5:40going back to 2017. i've been studying
149. 5:43lots
150. 5:44and getting good grades my bachelor's
151. 5:45program so i can meet the qualification
152. 5:48requirements at anu
153. 5:51my dream is to to study under one of the
154. 5:54distinguished professors
155. 5:56at anu and later do research and
156. 5:59development
157. 6:00for pharmaceuticals at the university or
158. 6:03large corporation i'd love to work on
159. 6:07the medication to treat and cure
160. 6:09cancer and some other life-threatening
161. 6:11illnesses
162. 6:13however the pandemic that broke out in
163. 6:162018 put a hold on these plans
164. 6:18as the national borders clause for
165. 6:20tourists and it has become really hard
166. 6:23to take the necessary steps
167. 6:24to get to canberra
168. 6:28at the moment the university is not
169. 6:30accepting international students
170. 6:33all although they are helping me through
171. 6:35the application
172. 6:36process online so that when the studies
173. 6:39come back to normal
174. 6:41i can begin my studies at amu
175. 6:45this hasn't concluded yet i'm still in
176. 6:48the process of application such as doing
177. 6:50this
178. 6:50exam right now nevertheless
179. 6:54i'm really optimistic that this covert
180. 6:56situation will be resolved soon and i
181. 6:58can start my studies
182. 7:00at fall 2021 okay i'll stop you there
183. 7:04uh please turn over the note paper and
184. 7:06put it to the side
185. 7:07also put the pencil to the side thank
186. 7:10you
187. 7:10and now we will continue with part three
188. 7:13i will ask you a question in connection
189. 7:15to your
190. 7:16response to part two and some questions
191. 7:18related to this topic
192. 7:21how have you been using your time which
193. 7:23resulted from this delay
194. 7:26um i have been putting extra hours in
195. 7:28study
196. 7:30um like in my chemistry knowledge and
197. 7:33english
198. 7:34in fact i have been combining these two
199. 7:36by by reading the
200. 7:38book the chemistry books in english i
201. 7:40think this will help to
202. 7:42find my footing faster once i arrive in
203. 7:44canberra
204. 7:46let's talk about managing challenging
205. 7:48situations
206. 7:49what is important to keep in mind when
207. 7:51unexpected events
208. 7:53affect planning when an implant event
209. 7:56impacts the situation
210. 7:57it's important to remember to stay calm
211. 8:00and focused
212. 8:01it's necessary to keep in mind that life
213. 8:03goes on and there will be an outcome
214. 8:06can you elaborate on this a bit yes like
215. 8:10say a person catches cold
216. 8:11right before the important exam they
217. 8:14shouldn't panic
218. 8:15they should try to reschedule and well
219. 8:17if they cannot there will be more
220. 8:18opportunities for learning in their
221. 8:20future
222. 8:22what are some common situations around
223. 8:25the world that can suddenly influence
224. 8:27people's planning as i
225. 8:30have just mentioned illness and an
226. 8:32accident can have an approved
227. 8:34interruption
228. 8:35in plans as well as financial or family
229. 8:38troubles
230. 8:40which of these is the most difficult to
231. 8:41deal with and why
232. 8:43well i i think there's an illness are
233. 8:47the most challenging dilemmas to deal
234. 8:49with
235. 8:49such as car accident or losing a parent
236. 8:55how has technology helped in managing
237. 8:57the influence of unforeseeable effects
238. 8:59on scheduling
239. 9:01well technological developments have
240. 9:03been quite useful
241. 9:04in mitigating the damage caused by an
242. 9:07expected event
243. 9:09communication technologies such as
244. 9:10mobile phones
245. 9:12have been quite helpful in the way that
246. 9:14they allow us to quickly connect
247. 9:17and discuss the situation and ask for
248. 9:19assistance
249. 9:20can you give an example yeah like say
250. 9:23a person gets in a traffic accident on
251. 9:26their way to work
252. 9:27they can call immediately the office and
253. 9:30tell them that they cannot make it on
254. 9:31time
255. 9:32or at all also they can reach out
256. 9:35and call a tow truck an ambulance right
257. 9:37away
258. 9:38let's talk about personal management
259. 9:40skills
260. 9:42what life skills can help people stay in
261. 9:44control of unplanned situations
262. 9:47i have learned that stress management is
263. 9:50absolutely necessary
264. 9:51as well as analytical skills with the
265. 9:54combination of these two attributes
266. 9:56people can stay calm and figure out the
267. 9:58best solutions for the problem
268. 10:00such as throwing salt and flour to the
269. 10:03oil fire in the kitchen
270. 10:05instead of water where can people learn
271. 10:08these
272. 10:10i think individuals can pick up these
273. 10:12skills
274. 10:13to example or experience
275. 10:17i have seen my mom and dad um handle
276. 10:20some
277. 10:20surprise situations with a cool head and
278. 10:23he told me to do the same
279. 10:26some people believe that keeping
280. 10:28emotions under control
281. 10:29is essential when dealing with new and
282. 10:31challenging situations
283. 10:33do you agree with this why or why not
284. 10:36yes absolutely
285. 10:37my previous explanation was in direct
286. 10:39relation to this emotional control
287. 10:41is the definition of keeping a cool head
288. 10:44i think that staying confident instead
289. 10:46of fear and panic
290. 10:48is the rise right emotional response in
291. 10:50the noble context
292. 10:51especially the ones that are dangerous
293. 10:53or consequential
294. 10:56that is the end of part three that
