12.) Describe a time you made a decision to wait for 
something.

You should say:

- When it happened 
- What you waited for
- Why you made the decision
- And explain how you felt while waiting

Patience is the key in becoming a successful person, if a person has this quality he can achieve anything in life. Here I would like to talk about an incident where i waited six months to buy something.

It happened at the start of 2019, when i was trying to buy an iPhone which was very costly. And because of my careless nature my family was unwilling to buy me that device as they thought I would damage it easily.

I was hell bent on purchasing this device and My grandfather observed it and he said we need to earn things, when we don't get them, he gave me his new phone and said if i could handle it for 6 months without damaging it he would buy me that mobile phone.

While i was waiting and caring for my grandfather's new phone. I actually realised the mistakes i was making while handling things and i carefully overcame all these habits and i felt sad at first but i was determined and i did what was needed after a while i made progress and i was happy and patient. Soon 6 months passed and my grandfather and i were really happy as i had learnt the lesson of taking care and patience.

1 What do people in your country often do while waiting?


Nowadays most people spend time scrolling through social media applications on their phones while they are waiting for something. People like to be aware of the new trends and they also find such applications to be entertaining.


2 Why do some people like a slow-paced life?


I think some people just like to take things slow because they have a more relaxed and focused approach towards life. Unlike others they don’t want to be in a rat race of earning more and more 
money, instead, they prefer to live in the moment and discover life as it is.


3 Is being patient good for people? Why?

Yes, patience is a virtue that every person should have these days. A lot of times we see people 
losing patience on simple matters and becoming angry which does not bring good for anyone. Being patient helps people stay calm in difficult situations and stay in control of their emotions, whereas 
impatient ones can easily lose emotional control and get into arguments


4 Are people less patient now than people in the past? Why?


Today’s generation is definitely less patient as compared to people in the old times. With technological advancements, they have become accustomed to getting things instantly. For example, people can now book flight tickets, order food, or transfer money with just the click of a 
button. So, when they have to wait for something that would take more time than usual, it makes them really impatient.

English has become our second mother tongue and it is taught to us from an early age. There have been scores of English lessons that were taught to us but there I would talk about a interesting lesson which my English teacher taught us. I remember, when I was in my 12th standard last year, our teacher took us on an educational trip, just to make us understand how poor people live. It was a trip of 2 days where we saw bangle making factories and slums of seemapuri in delhi. Then after the trip, he taught us the chapter and we could understand the condition of the characters, because we had visited this place. This was a interesting lesson and it teaches us that, if you want to understand the situation of a person, you have to face the situation yourself too There are scores of reasons why this ...
