Describe a time you were very busy
You should say:
-
When did it happened?
-
Where were you?
-
What did you do?
-
And explain why you were that busy.
Sample Answer:
- In the modern world, everyone seems to be very busy.
- I, also, confront the hectic schedule on a very frequent basis.
- Here, I would like to mention a recent scenario when I was very busy because my exams and my brother’s wedding preparations were going parallelly.
- This happened in the last month when I was having my mid-term examination and side by side it was a peak time for the wedding preparation at my home.
- That time I was staying in a hostel at Ludhiana, from where my home is over 100 kilometers.
- But, being the only sibling of my brother I had so many responsibilities related to his wedding.
- So, my family asked me to at least visit home twice a week.
- I understood the situation and did the same.
- After every exam day, I used to go home in the evening and try to at least accomplish two-three tasks on my list.
- Some of the things related to the shopping part I did at Ludhiana.
- This was only possible because my friends helped me a lot in shopping there.
- So, this way I made the most of my time despite staying away from home due to my exams.
- On the other hand, I was hardly able to devote proper time to my study due to all day exertion.
- Therefore, I only used to skim and scan through the notes at night.
- But thankfully, I was able to perform well in exams as well as completed all the wedding preparations timely.
Follow ups:
- Do you like the fast pace of modern life?
Not really because I feel in the fast pace of modern life we are living less and stressing more due to workload. We are hardly spending quality time with our near and dear ones.
- How do you feel when you are really busy?
It makes me feel very upset whenever I go through busy times, since I feel very out of balance in such times. I become unable to take care of my health, diet and family.
- What is the best way to deal with stress?
I think meditation and breathing exercises are the best way to deal with stress.
- What kind of lifestyle is suitable for people in modern society?
A healthy lifestyle with a good diet plan and a workout regime is suitable for people in modern society as they spend most of their time sitting and staying physically inactive.
- What relaxation techniques do you usually use?
I preferably do breathing exercises whenever I feel very anxious and stressed out. These techniques help me a lot and I really feel lighter after doing these exercises.
