Describe a life changing experience you have had. v. 1
Describe a life changing experience you have had. You should say: where it took place & who was with you what happened how it made you feel and explain how it changed your life.   Model Answer 1: We all go through some life-changing experiences at some points of our life which eventually help us become the person we are. I also have gone through such life-changing experiences in my life, and I would like to share one of them today. It was about 15 years ago when I was still a young child and was living with my parents in a busy city. Back then, I also liked to go out with my parents like any other children, whether they were going to do some grocery shopping or visiting a stadium to watch an interesting game. But, the rule was, when going outside anywhere with my parents, I needed to remain close to them all the time, no matter what the situations outside would be. Of course, I tried to stick to the rule as best as I could all the times, except on one occasion, when my parents had taken me to a stadium to watch a football match. If I remember it correctly, it was a final match between two prominent football clubs in my country, and the stadium was packed with thousands of spectators. After the match was over, my parents were very excited and celebrating with other supporters outside of the stadium, and with them, I also was in a celebratory mood. But, while everybody was busy celebrating the victory, I suddenly found myself in a huge crowd which didn’t include my parents. In other words, I was lost as I probably had forgotten the advice of my parents for a while. Naturally, I felt very scared after getting lost and stood still where I was, hoping that my parents would find me.   Not sure, how long I had waited in the crowd, but my parents luckily found me later on. Needless to say, this scary incident changed my life for better, because after this incident, I have always listened to my parents and their advice, whether I liked them or not. Besides, it was after this incident that I started to exercise maximum vigilance wherever I would travel.
