I am preparing to attend the graduate exam and I am not confident enough to pass it. I think it is not enough although I study for four hours every day. In order to decrease my pressure, my good friend took me to go have fun. That day, she forced me not to think about the exam and the only thing I should do is have fun. The city we live in is close to the sea, so we first watched the sunrise. Although I used to enjoy getting up late, the sunrise is very worth me getting up early. After watching the sunrise, we went shopping downtown. All that day, she bought me gifts and treated me to meals. Next time, I want to repay her three times as she did. That day she told me a story about her trip with her boyfriend. This time, they traveled to Thailand, the Philippines and Japan. From the picture shot in Thailand that she touched an elephant. You could see that she was a little scared. They were very excited during their trip. Every time we meet up, we are really happy. I really don’t know how I can have such a good friend, and I don’t know how to express these joyful feelings.

I am preparing to attendtake the graduate exam and, but I am not confident enough tothat I will pass it.

If we "attend" something, we are in the same place at the same time (mostly we just inactively sit and watch). E.g. "I attended my sister's wedding".

If we say someone "attended an exam" it *doesn't* imply they "took an exam". (However, if we say someone "did not attend the exam", it logically implies they "did not take the exam".) Thus, we need to say "take the graduate exam", not "attend the graduate exam".

"I am not confident enough to pass it" implies your lack of confidence will make you fail.

I think it is not enough aAlthough I study for four hours every day, I think it is not enough.

In order to decreasreduce my pstressure, my good friend took me to gout to have fun.

That day, sShe forced me not to think about the exam and the only thing I should do is have fun.

"That day" is implied. Also I feel "that day" usually highlights how its the same day as some other event, but here you're describing one event.

"I still remember when my mom and dad told me they were getting divorced. That day, I swore I would never get married."

The city we live in is close to the sea, so we first watched the sunrise.

"first" is just not relevant to the discussion at this point.

Although I used to enjoy getting up late, the sunrise is very worth me getting up early for.

After watching the sunrise, we went shopping downtown.

All that day, she bought me gifts and treated me to meals.

NThe next time we go out together, I want to repay her three times aswhat she did for me.

That dayWhen we went out, she told me a story about her trip with her boyfriend.

This time, they traveled to Thailand, the Philippines and Japan.

From theShe showed me a picture shot inof Thailand thatwhere she touched an elephant.

They were very excited during their trip.

Every time we meet up, we are really happy.

I really don’t know how I can have such a good friend, and I don’t know how to express these joyful feelings.
