Could you please correct me if there are any mistakes?
"A time you received a good news.
what it was about
when you heard the news
who else heard this news and say why it had a strong effect on you."
One of my friends won the lottery 6 months ago. I was really happy when I heard the news because not only is she hardworking but also she has struggled to provide a better condition in her life. Neither was she lucky at university because her father passed away at that time nor was she able to graduate from university because she didn't have money to pay for her tuition. So, she dropped out of university.
She used to lead a life of poverty because she is the only child in the family and as her mother was sick, she was a breadwinner since her father died, but after a while, her mother died of cancer. So, she strived to make ends meet and stand on her own feet. She is a kind of person who has always been affectionate towards her friends and she has never hit her friends up for cash.
When she won the lottery, she didn't think it would cost her an arm and a leg to go to the US. She had naively imagined that she was able to afford the expenses. So, I talked to my friends and we made up our mind to buy her flight ticket. She went to the US one week ago, and the best part of the news is that she is planning to study at university to broaden her horizons and I'm sure she can set herself apart because her intelligence is unrivaled.
As far as I'm concerned, if her father had had retirement nest egg or something like that, she wouldn't have suffered a lot.
(This is an IELTS topic for speaking. I'm wondering if I've covered the topic completely or not?)
Thanks in advance.
