Sample Answer
I’d like to talk about a memorable encounter I had with my friend Sarah while I was on holiday in Paris last summer. I had traveled there to immerse myself in the culture and enjoy the sights, and honestly, I wasn’t anticipating bumping into anyone I knew.
One sunny afternoon, I decided to visit the iconic Eiffel Tower. As I stood there in awe, taking photographs, I heard someone call my name. To my astonishment, it was Sarah, who I hadn’t seen in over two years since she moved to London for work!
I was genuinely surprised to see her all the way in Paris, especially since I knew she was planning a busy work schedule. We immediately embraced, both overjoyed at this unexpected reunion. It turned out that she had taken a short break and was also visiting the city, coincidentally arriving the same day as me. We spent hours catching up, reminiscing about our university days, and sharing stories about our current lives. In particular, we discussed her transition to London and the different experiences we’ve had since graduating. Our spontaneous meeting turned what could have been a solitary day into a joyful occasion where we rekindled our friendship.
In conclusion, that unplanned encounter not only made my trip memorable but reaffirmed the value of friendships, no matter the distance.
