Describe an occasion when you had to wait a long time for someone | Speaking for IELTS PDF Download

You should say:

  • who or what you waited for
  • where you waited
  • why you waited (or, had to wait)
  • and explain how you felt while you were waiting

Sample Answer:

  • I would like to confess that waiting for somebody for a long time is something I am not fond of, especially if the person has not arrived at the agreed time. Talking about this, I am reminded of a time when I had to wait for a friend of mine, Vaishali, at a nearby park. She showed up at least an hour late than she was supposed to.
  • This incident took place almost a year back when Vaishali invited me to visit her hometown during the vacation. I had convinced my parents of this trip. Moreover, I needed a getaway to rejuvenate myself and experience the enchantments of a suburban area. Also, Vaishali had promised that she would pick me up from the park. I left and reached there within 20 minutes, and I thought she would be there any minute. That was the time when the horrible waiting period commenced, and I had to wait for an entire hour till she finally appeared.
  • If I had any idea that Vaishali was to arrive this late, I would have not reached early either. Moreover, when I tried calling her several times, she kept telling me that she was reaching in 2 minutes. At that time, I was quite worried and thought of returning plenty of times. However, I still kept my patience intact. The waiting time somehow seemed longer. I was a bag of mixed emotions. I was anxious, angry and worried – all at the same time. So, I would say my experience was not great.
  • At last, when Vaishali arrived and apologized profusely, I felt calm and tried cheering up. And then, we spent some quality time together.
