Describe an occasion when you got up extremely early
You should say:

- What you needed to do on that day
- Who you were with
- How you felt about getting up early on that day
Sample Answer:
I’ve never considered myself a person who would wake up early voluntarily, feeling rested and energetic. So a couple of months ago, when my friends and I were planning a trip, I found out that we would have an early flight, at 5 a.m. to be exact. This piece of news made me more than upset. To my horror, this was the only available flight at a reasonable price back then. Therefore nobody was going to take into account my being disappointed.
I had to meet my friends at 3 a.m. at the airport. Although the recommended arrival time at the airport prior to departure of international flights is 3 hours, I was happy all of them understood there wasn’t much sense coming so early and queuing there, so I could have one more hour of sleep.
As I expected, on a departure day, I woke up at the last minute and then scampered around the house to get ready, though I had promised to myself to do it “‘ day before without being in a hurry.I had to make a rush out of home, being afraid to be late. So you can just imagine when I got to the airport ,I was angry with myself and everyone around. Needless to say, I felt drowsy and disoriented, just like a zombie, as I was used to getting up so early. Then I found out I had packed my swimsuit. For me, this was a disaster.. so irritated that, frankly speaking, I wished we had spent more money instead of waking up early.
