Describe an important event in global history. You should say: when it happened what the event was what effect you think this event had and explain why it is an important event in history. Model Answer 1:
Realistically speaking, each and every event, be it small or big, affects the course of history in some subtle manners, and that’s probably why most of them go unnoticed. But, then, there are some events, we consider important, which are noticed by the entire world because of their sweeping effects on global history as well as our life. Today, I would like to discuss one such important event that completely changed our world.
The important event, I am talking about, is the “fall of Berlin wall”. Even though, it happened a long time ago, when I still was a young boy, in 1989, I can still remember the day vividly because I was actually watching the event live on our television. By the way, the Berlin wall was erected in 1961 by the then communist government of East Germany in order to stop the fleeing of its citizens to West Germany. This Berlin wall divided families who found themselves unable to visit each other. Many East Berliners were cut off from their jobs while the West Berliners kept demonstrating against the wall. This wall didn’t just divide the Berliners physically but also ideologically since the countries, divided by the wall, represented completely two different types of government systems. Even though nobody was really expecting such an unexpected and dramatic fall of the Berlin Wall, it had very significant effects in reshaping the international relations and the geopolitics of all the countries in the world.
Anyway, it is an important event in the history of the world, primarily because it helped ease the tensions and cold war between the two blocks of the world: one was led the communist Soviet Union while the other block was led by the ‘so-called’ leader of the free world. The event also led the way in reducing the arms race which had cost both the countries (the USA and the USSR) and their supporting nations billions of dollars. Essentially, this event made the whole world much less dangerous and more peaceful for living.

Model Answer 1:
Realistically
speaking, each and every
event
, be it
small
or
big
, affects the course of
history
in
some
subtle manners, and that’s
probably
why most of them go unnoticed.
But
, then, there are
some
events
, we consider
important
, which
are noticed
by the entire
world
because
of their sweeping effects on global
history
as
well
as our life.
Today
, I would like to discuss one such
important
event
that completely
changed
our world.
The
important
event
, I am talking about, is the “fall of Berlin
wall”
.
Even though
, it happened a long time ago, when I
still
was a young boy, in 1989, I can
still
remember the day
vividly
because
I was
actually
watching the
event
live
on our television. By the way, the Berlin
wall
was erected
in 1961 by the then communist
government
of East Germany in order to
stop
the fleeing of its citizens to West Germany. This Berlin
wall
divided families who found themselves unable to visit each other.
Many
East Berliners were
cut
off from their jobs while the West Berliners
kept
demonstrating against the
wall
. This
wall
didn’t
just
divide the Berliners
physically
but
also
ideologically
since the countries, divided by the
wall
, represented completely two
different
types of
government
systems.
Even though
nobody was
really
expecting such an unexpected and dramatic fall of the Berlin
Wall
, it had
very
significant effects in reshaping the international relations and the geopolitics of all the countries in the world.
Anyway
, it is an
important
event
in the
history
of the
world
,
primarily
because
it
helped
ease
the tensions and
cold war
between the two blocks of the
world
: one
was led
the communist Soviet Union while the other block
was led
by the ‘
so
-called’ leader of the free
world
. The
event
also
led the way in reducing the arms race which had cost both the countries (the USA and the USSR) and their supporting nations billions of dollars.
Essentially
, this
event
made the whole
world
much less

and more peaceful for living.
