Describe a time you made a promise to someone
You should say:
what the promise was
to whom you made it
whether it was easy or difficult to keep
And explain why you made it.
I’d like to talk about a time when I failed an exam and made a promise to my teacher. This happened last semester when I didn’t do as well as I expected in a big exam. My teacher noticed that I wasn’t performing well, so she asked me why I hadn’t done my best. I told her I had been struggling with time management and sometimes didn’t fully understand the material.
Instead of getting upset, she encouraged me, saying that everyone faces challenges, and it was okay to make mistakes as long as I learned from them. She reminded me that I had the potential to do better if I put in more effort. Feeling motivated by her encouragement, I promised her that I would work harder and give my best in the next exam.
I took her words seriously and made a plan to study more effectively. I focused on improving my weak areas and spent extra time reviewing the material. With the guidance and support she gave me, I felt more confident in my abilities.
