sample answer (band 8):
introduction:
Time and tide waits for none, hence it is wise to make the most of it. I am a person who enjoys every moment of life and never fail to live in the present. I usually schedule my tasks for the day and finish them on time and never procrastinate.
What it was?
However, there was a time when I got so consumed in my assignment work that I got late for movies that I was supposed to watch in the cinema the same evening.
When it happened?
It happened just a few days back when I was working on my assignment. While I was on it, i was interrupted by a call from my father and he wanted me to meet him in the market urgently. Hence, I had to leave the assignment in between and I could’nt follow the timeline.
How you finished it & Why you had to finish it quickly?
Hastily I went to meet my dad, finish the work quickly and return back to do the assignment. It was already late but I had to mandatorily finish my assignment as it was to be submitted the next day. Moreover, I didn’t want to miss the movie either. So I put my skates on and finished the assignment in a jiffy.
Explain how you felt about it?
That day I realized that sky is the limit. I had never worked under pressure ever before and I never thought that I could multi-task. However, I understood that I had the potential and if I push myself hard, I can finish multiple tasks at a time.
