Sample Answer 1

Here is the sample for 「Describe an age/stage you enjoyed mostly in your life」 topic:

Whenit comes totalking about the past, Iam of the custom totalk about the year when I was 15 and in the last year of secondary school, as it is the time I enjoyed mostly in my life.

At that time,my friends and I had a reallyhecticschedule to preparefor entering high school. It was really anerve-rackingperiod of time when we wereup to our eyes inassignments and revision. However, as all of my class matesenjoyed each other’s companyso much and were soclose toeach other, we tried to share happy moments with each other as much as possible,in parallel withfinishing all of our tasks at school. Because we didn’t have much spare time, we managed to capture our best moments in break time.Instead ofgoing on a trip together, we shared with others every tiny things in our daily life, which helped connect our souls. Though that time was hard to us all, as we had beenunder a lot of pressureto be able to be admitted byhigh-rankedhigh school, the friend among us helped all of usrelieve stress,lift up our spiritsandrecharge our energytomake concerted effortstoget intoour desired schools. At the time, friendship was really the most wonderful thingto me.

Now, when we’re allgrown-upand have to live a hectic life tomake end meets, we stilltry tocement ourrelationship. Sometimes, wehave a whale of a timein our reunions when we’retaking a trip down memory lanesaboutthose good old days, when we werecarefreeand so close to each others. Those memories are the most beautiful things we have had together, which helps build up our long lasting friendship until now.

Sample Answer 2

Undoubtedly, childhood is the only stage that gives us utmost peace and relishing memories. Unfortunately, as we grow older, we remember close to nothing about this stage. So, here, I』d like to talk about my teenage years as those were the days I enjoyed the most.

Those were the carefree days. Although going to school and tuition was a necessity, I could do anything I wanted for the rest of the day. Out of all the things, I liked playing with my friends. Back then, I enjoyed myself with my friends a lot. It was simply amazing how all of us used to get together, regardless of how many times we fought. There were a handful of houses in my colony. And, every house had at least 2-3 children of my age. We had an entire group of 10 people, boys and girls included. We were no less than a gang in our area.

It was a phase when we were growing up, completely unknown to how the world worked. Jealously, hatred, competitiveness, hard work – these were a few things we were unaware of. That was the time when we had pure, innocent and unstained souls. Today, running behind our dreams and purposes, we have lost it all. I wish we could get a chance to go back to our teenage years to relax for a while.
