Sample 1: Describe a Time that You Were Waiting for Something

Throughout our lives, we encounter numerous situations where we find ourselves eagerly awaiting something 🕒. I’d like to share a story about a time when I was eagerly waiting to buy an iPad of my choice 📱. After diligently saving up, the moment finally arrived. I remember the joy I felt when my exam results were announced and I had secured the top position in my college 🏆. To celebrate this achievement, my father generously gave me Rs.15,000, a significant boost towards my iPad fund 💰.

Having seen my friend’s iPad, I was mesmerized by its features and capabilities, which only fueled my desire to own one. With a monthly allowance of Rs.2000, I made a conscious decision to cut back on small luxuries like candies and chocolates 🍫, channelling all my savings towards my goal. After months of patience and frugality, my efforts paid off, and I was able to purchase a second-hand iPad from a reputable store 🛍️.

As I enjoy my iPad, I’m reminded of the valuable lesson that patience indeed bears sweet fruit 🍏. This experience has not only given me a cherished possession but also taught me the importance of saving and waiting for the right moment.

Sample 2: Describe a Time that You Were Waiting for Something

There are many situations in life when you have to wait for things. Sometimes, it is in your hands, and sometimes, we wait for things because they are not in our hands. Here, I would like to talk about a situation when I decided to wait to buy a cellphone of my choice. I could have bought a cheaper model, but I wanted an iPhone.

So I waited till I had saved enough money for it. On my 18th birthday, my father gave me Rs. 10,000 to buy a phone. I saw many models on the market, but I did not like any of them. My cousin had an iPhone S5, and I had seen its features and how it was working. So, I wanted something like that. I decided to wait and save money before making my purchase.

I get Rs.2000 per month as pocket money. I stopped spending on candies, chocolates, and ice-creams so that I could save all my pocket money. I got some money from my brother and cousins on Rakish. In six months, I had saved Rs. 25,000.

I went to a local Apple store and bought a second-hand iPhone 5s in fairly good condition. I am very happy with my iPhone. It is a rectangular phone in golden colour. It has 16GB memory and a 14-megapixel camera. Waiting for this phone required a lot of patience, but I am happy that I decided to wait for this purchase.
