1 Describe an occasion ( 场合 ) that you were late for.
Let me talk about an important occasion that I was late for. A couple of days ago,I got an email from a training center and they told me to go to a job interview the next morning. I applied for that job last month and really hoped I could get it. At first I felt very excited. But then I felt kind of worried and nervous and I got very little sleep that night. So the next morning, I woke up late, like 8:30. You know, they told me to get to their center at 9.In a great hurry, I took a taxi and told the driver to drive as fast as possible. But there was a serious traffic jam then in the city and we got stuck. We moved so slowly so I got totally mad. I shouted at the driver but he told me he really couldn’t do anything about this situation. At that time, I had no choice but to call the manager of that training center. I told him that I would probably be late for the interview and felt really sorry about it. To my surprise, that gentleman was very nice and calm and told me not to worry about it. They would just wait for me. He even told me to ask the taxi drive to drive safely. Finally (Eventually) I got there and had the job interview. I answered all their questions about me and about my past experience very fluently and clearly. They were very impressed by all my answers and told me I got the job. I felt totally excited. That experience was really special coz I felt I was so lucky to ace an interview I was late for. But on the other hand, looking back, I think I should have said sorry to that taxi driver. I shouldn’t become mad at him even though I was late for an important occasion.
