On the (one) day of my high school life in the USA, I showed a great interest in one of the (lecture), marketing lecture. My teacher, Mrs. Tolman, (recommend) that I should register a national marketing club (call) DECA which attracts many students with interest in business. So I did. The biggest challenge was (collect) money for the marketing competition later in the year by selling candles. Mrs. Tolman said the competition was due in a week and that 40 percent of the income would go into my personal account, made me(addict) to the selling. At beginning, I tried to sell some candles to my host mom. She said that if I could show the candles (confident) and do a wonderful sales presentation, she would certainly buy some. I started my topic with a firm handshake. Then I focused all the different kinds of candles and the special sales I could offer and convinced her that our candles were the best choice for gifts and home decorations. Finally she bought three candles.
