Describe a person you recently met again after a long time. v. 1
Describe a person you recently met again after a long time. You should say: who the person was where you met him/her why/how you met him/her again and explain if you would like to get to know this person better. [You will have to talk about the topic for one to two minutes. You have one minute to think about what you are going to say. You can make some notes to help you if you wish. ]   Model Answer: Life is like a big journey where we meet all kinds of people at different times and under different circumstances. Sometimes, we remember some of them while we forget about many others. I guess that forgetting about people, who we don’t see often, is just a human nature just like I forgot about the young banker, whom I met a long time ago. But, very recently, I met this young banker again at a local shopping centre when I went there to buy some regular household stuff. Interestingly, it was not me who recognized him first, but rather it was the young banker (not so young anymore though) who called me with my name from behind. I looked back, but initially, I had no clue as to who that person could really be. So, I just kept staring at him until he came forward and introduced me as the young banker who I met about 8 years ago at a bank in another city. Slowly but surely, my memories started to come back to me when he reminded me how I forgot to pick up my bank chequebook and left the city. It was then that I clearly remembered how that young banker fellow at that time called me from his bank and informed me about my lost chequebook. Later on, this kind banker actually took all the pains to mail me my lost chequebook in a courier service. Anyway, after meeting him again at the shopping centre after such a long time, I felt like he deserved a very special thank from me again for his sincere efforts to send me back my bank chequebook. Anyway, after meeting the young banker, I learned a very important lesson which was that we should always remember the good deeds of the people if not the people themselves. I didn’t care to remember the banker, but the banker cared to remember me, which proves that he is a genuinely nice, responsible and caring person. And, if we don’t like to get to know a nice, responsible and caring person, then who we will! ?

Model Answer:

Life is like a
big
journey where we
meet
all kinds of
people
at
different
times
and under
different
circumstances.
Sometimes
, we
remember
some
of them while we forget about
many
others.
I guess
that forgetting about
people
,
who
we don’t
see
often
, is
just
a human nature
just
like I forgot about the
young
banker
, whom I
met
a long
time
ago.

But
,
very
recently, I
met
this
young
banker
again
at a local shopping
centre
when I went there to
buy
some
regular household stuff.
Interestingly
, it was not me
who
recognized him
first
,
but
rather
it was the
young
banker
(not
so
young
anymore though)
who
called me with my name from behind. I looked back,
but
initially
, I had no clue as to
who
that
person
could
really
be.
So
, I
just
kept
staring at him until he came forward and introduced me as the
young
banker
who
I
met
about 8 years ago at a
bank
in another city.

Slowly
but
surely
, my memories
started
to
come
back to me when he reminded me how I forgot to pick up my
bank
chequebook
and
left
the city. It was then that I
clearly
remembered how that
young
banker
fellow at that
time
called me from his
bank
and informed me about my lost
chequebook
. Later on, this kind
banker
actually
took all the pains to mail me my lost
chequebook
in a courier service.

Anyway
, after meeting him
again
at the shopping
centre
after such a long
time
, I felt like he deserved a
very
special thank from me
again
for his sincere efforts to
send
me back my
bank
chequebook
.

Anyway
, after meeting the
young
banker
, I learned a
very
important
lesson which was that we should always
remember
the
good
deeds of the
people
if not the
people
themselves. I didn’t care to
remember
the
banker
,
but
the
banker
cared to
remember
me, which proves that he is a
genuinely
nice, responsible and caring
person
. And, if we don’t like to
get
to know a nice, responsible and caring
person
, then
who
we will! ?
