Script:
Having graduated from high school, many school-leavers are looking to start a new 
chapter of their lives. At higher education or vocational schools, independence is 
needed to be successful in pursuing further education. Here are some independence 
skills that you should have before leaving high school. 
In most universities, colleges or vocational schools, it is the student who chooses 
their classes and manages their own schedule and time. Students should take 
responsibility for themselves as there are neither parents nor teachers reminding 
them to go to classes or do their homework. Getting into the habit of making a to-do 
list is useful. You can also use a calendar to keep track of what you have to do and 
when. 
As students get more mature, they are encouraged to be more independent in their 
learning. Teachers expect students to learn by themselves with minimal guidance. 
Being independent learners also means being able to motivate yourself and evaluate 
your own performance.
It's also important that students know how to manage their finance. You can set a 
monthly budget and choose which to spend money on first. Whether you get 
allowances from your family or have a part-time job, managing your money is 
essential for your journey ahead.

Sample writing
Challenges and benefits of living independently
When students finish their high-school life and enter the new door of adulthood, 
they hardly avoid living far from their family to pursue their dreams in urban 
universities. Living independently can bring freshmen both challenges and benefits. 
First of all, most first-year students will have to do every household chore by 
themselves, such as washing clothes and cooking meals. Sharing their room with 
other mates might lessen the burden; however, fierce arguments possibly happen 
when they split the chores unequally. Additionally, financial ruin at the end of the 
month is also a taxing issue facing higher education students. 
On the other hand, once students get used to living independently, they will gain 
numerous advantages. They can master household skills as well as learn how to 
sympathetically accept others’ flaws, lower their high self-esteem and complete 
their duties. As for managing monthly budget, they know where to buy affordable 
items and how to save up money in case of emergency. 
In conclusion, living independently might be challenging but beneficial to many 
tertiary students. They shouldn’t be afraid of its challenges and regard it as a great 
opportunity to make their life of university more colourful.
