Sample Answer 1：

In May 2016, I was travelling in New Orleans. During my stay there, I booked a flight back to my friend Joe's house in North Carolina to join his birthday party. My connecting flight was one day later than the first one, from NC to Chicago, then to China. I never imagined the first one was delayed, and for so long.

So, I came to the New Orleans Airport at 7.00 a.m. that morning. When I was checking my phone, strange things happened - the website couldn't load an online QR code. So, I waited in queue to print my boarding pass at the front desk. Oh god, up to now I still remember that Latino man, that useless fool who had no working abilities but a mouthful of lies. He told me at first that he had confirmed my seat. The issues could be dealt with real soon as long as I wait aside. That's lie one. While he talked with other passengers, He looked at me for several times, his face turning green each time. I could feel something was wrong, but he was the front desk at American Airlines! I had no choice but to trust him. Of course, he failed me. After 15 minutes I asked him again whether he did confirm my seat, he changed what he said earlier - this time, he said "Oh I'm not sure. You should contact our customer service department, cuz I have nothing to do with it." Can you imagine that? I mean, I was so angry that I was startled and then speechless. I called their customer service, and they began to refuse my calls. Then, the front desk came to tell me, for the first time he hadn't escaped my eyes, "Sir, please don't wait here. Our plane is overbooked and your seat has been taken. "I almost fainted.

Of course, I was late for Joe's house, for the next possible flight was 12 hours later! The New Orleans Airport was so boring - it didn't have any place for shopping, not even a convenience store! I sat on that bench for half a day. I also felt bad for Joe, because he would have to pick me up at NC airport at around 11 pm.

Sitting on the long chair facing the airport window, I had all kinds of emotions that day - tiredness, boredom, anguish, regrets, and sorrow. That was a memorable experience, albeit in a bad way.

Sample Answer 2：

I'm going to talk about a time when I missed an appointment, which was the 18th birthday celebration party of my best friend, Linda. She'd decided to throw a party to make a big thing of it.

I helped her with the arrangement. We'd planned a month before the party, so as to make it go on well. We contributed to the food, beverages, and other arrangements so that both of all truly enjoyed it. During the party, we ate a cake, blowing out candles to make a wish and I was showered with gifts from friends.

We've chosen a fancy restaurant to wine and dine. The restaurant was situated in the city center, with easy access to transport links, so it was handy for the party-goers. Besides, it served a wide range of delicacies, which made our mouth water. What impressed me the most was that we could have a bird eye view of the whole city from this restaurant. I forgot about it, on the grounds that, I was snowed under with exam preparation at that time. As a result, I didn't attend this party.

So all in all, I'd like to explain how I feel about the experience. First things first, it was a great bonding activity as they'd been chatting away and listening to atmospheric music. As a result, they've had a whale of time, sharing the fond memory. On top of that, I was so apologized to my friend, the thing is, I forget this very important event for her. As a result, I presented her a pricy gift.
