Model Answer:
Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity here to discuss an occasion when someone or something made a loud noise. There is one incident that stands out vividly in my memory, and for this nice topic, I will talk about this event.

It was a sunny afternoon last summer when I experienced a loud noise that caught me completely off guard. I was at home, sitting in my living room, deeply engrossed in a book. The tranquillity of the afternoon was suddenly shattered by an ear-piercing sound that seemed to shake the very walls of the house.

The source of the loud noise was my neighbour's car, or more specifically, the car alarm. My neighbour, Mr Johnson, had just installed a new security system in his car, and it appeared to be malfunctioning. The alarm was blaring uncontrollably, sending shrill, repetitive bursts of sound into the otherwise peaceful neighbourhood.

At that moment, I was in my living room, trying to enjoy a quiet afternoon of reading. The sudden intrusion of the loud noise was not only startling but also extremely disruptive. I could see through my window that other neighbours were similarly affected, stepping out of their homes to see what was going on.

Given the intensity and persistence of the noise, I decided to take action. I went outside and walked over to Mr Johnson’s house. I found him in his driveway, frantically trying to turn off the alarm. He looked frustrated and a bit embarrassed about the whole situation. I offered to help him, and together we managed to figure out how to disarm the faulty alarm system temporarily.

Once the noise finally subsided, Mr Johnson apologized profusely to everyone around. While the situation was initially quite annoying, we all realised that it was unintentional and we soon forgot about it. It also gave us a good opportunity to take a break and meet some of the neighbours whom we otherwise very rarely see or talk to.

And that’s exactly how I succeeded in achieving a goal recently, which I otherwise thought was not possible. Now, calling “riding a car always” - no matter wherever I go and how short the distance is - is a “bad habit” that might actually offend some people, but it certainly felt like one to me. I found out that I was gaining extra pounds in my body, and my fitness was deterioratin

When I was browsing the CNN.com (in fact I visit the website at least twice a day), a news story titled - ‘How to lose a job in 30 seconds’ attracted me. I thought that the news story is about offering suggestions to give up a job within half a minute. But when I entered the story, it was a different thing. CNN.com is o
