Sample Answer
Ok so let me tell you about an occasion when I was setting up a joyful party.
It was a year ago on my 28th birthday in March. I held that party with a group of friends who I have been hanging out for a long time who are always supportive and helpful to me. The party was just a small one but it was pretty fun and I would say it was one of the unforgettable memories I ever had.
Talking about the location, one week before the party, I and one of my best friends – An drove around the town and found a little seafood restaurant called Ran Bien. After a thorough check, we felt that we had found the perfect place for my birthday party because of two reasons: First, it is right in the heart of the city where everyone would be able to reach easily. Second, the owner was a warmhearted man who promised to give us a hand in making a stage and loads of balloons as well as a big birthday cake. To be honest, I was so excited to hear that.
In terms of helping hands, An was the one that stayed with me from the start to the last minutes, which I deeply appreciated. Besides, during the process, other friends also came to offer little help like buying the party materials, painting and decorating the stage. What’s more? It was the staff in that restaurant who brought the tables and chairs and placed them in front of the stage. Without my friends and the restaurant personnel, I wouldn’t have had such a wonderful party.
After holding that party, I felt exhausted and out of energy but my heart was full of joy and excitement because it is my birthday and I would be the main character of the event later. In addition, I also felt quite content that I have learned a lot about teamwork and how to collaborate with other people whom I either know well like my friends or those employees in the restaurant. This skill is indeed utmostly important in both real lives and in the workplace.
So that’s all I would like to say. Thank you for your listening and attention.
