Model Answer 2
Describe an occasion when you waited a long time for a nice thing.
Introduction.- When it happened-
Here I am going to talk about my Waiting experience.Waiting is hard and extremely difficult for those who are impatient. A memorable instance when I patiently waited for something delightful took place during my summer vacation last year. It was the eagerly anticipated release of a new book by my favorite author, and I had been anticipating its arrival for months.
What a nice thing it was.- How long you waited.
I had pre-ordered the book online, and its release date was set for a scorching July afternoon. The wait felt interminable, spanning approximately six months from the moment I learned about the book until its actual release. My eagerness stemmed from a deep admiration for the author's work, and I couldn't wait to immerse myself in the world of words they would craft once again.
- Why you waited for a long time.
The patience required for this wait was justified by the excitement and anticipation that brewed within me. As the days inched closer to the release, I found myself constantly checking for updates, re-reading the author's previous works, and engaging in conversations with fellow fans to share our enthusiasm. When the long-anticipated day finally arrived.
- And explain how you felt about the experience
I was overwhelmed with joy and satisfaction as I held the book in my hands. The hours I had spent waiting melted away as I delved into its pages, and the experience left me with a profound sense of contentment and appreciation for the art of patience.
