Speaking Question
Question:
Describe a time when you helped someone. What happened, and how did you feel about it?
Sample Answer
Answer:
One time I helped my classmate prepare for an important exam. He was feeling nervous and confused about some topics, so I spent two evenings explaining the lessons in a simple way. I also gave him some practice questions and encouraged him to stay calm. On the day of the exam, he felt much more confident. I felt very happy because helping someone gave me a sense of satisfaction. It reminded me that small acts of kindness can make a big difference in another person’s life.
