Well done! It is definitelty clear enough for your students to understand and you demonstrated the basic story arch elements, which I tried to outline below ...

(I had to access the memory archives from my ninth grade English class for this one; how'd I do?)

[Some character exposition]

“I’m not going to pass (make it for) the Japanese Language Proficiency Test,” I groaned heavily. I stared in dismay at the books on my study table. My examination was approaching, but I still did not understand many things. I felt that this problem would just eat me alive.

I was doomed. My heart sank.

[Rising action]

I decided to run to clear my head. While running, I thought about how I could solve this problem. I analysed my situation. I had very little time and too much content to cover. Desperate, I needed to apply effective study habits.

I used the Pomodoro technique; studying for just 25 minutes enhanced my concentration. I also started to revise my work before sleeping. Sleeping on the material helped me remember new words.

[Conflict]

However, disaster struck. (a spanner was thrown into the works.) My school needed me to organise a summer camp for eager students. My study time got trimmed like the crew cut that was trending among boys these days. I tried not to panic.

Determined to stay in control, I trimmed the fat from my schedule. No more video games. No more social media. I brought my notebook everywhere and studied every time I could.

The day of the examination arrived. The questions were difficult, but I doggedly tried my best. I just did not want any regrets.

After the examination, I resumed my life. However, I had to get used to the frantically flapping butterflies in my stomach. The day of the results release finally arrived. I opened the envelope.

Woah! I passed!

[Climax]

Tears of joy fell down my cheeks. I felt as if a huge weight had been lifted off my shoulders.

[Resolution]

This incident taught me the importance of sheer resolve. Since I never wavered in my determination, I could apply problem-solving skills to secure a pass. If I never gave up, there was no problem I could not solve. I was delighted to have become more resilient.
