 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Question

You have just returned home after a long journey. Talk about the person you have missed the most and why you have missed them. Include details and examples to support your response.

 

 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< Answer

The person I have missed the most would be my wife. My wife is always there to support me and to look after me. When I am walking out the door to work and I haven’t realized that I forgot my lunch, she will always remember and run out to hand it to me to make sure that I won’t leave without it. When I am doing homework at home and think that I can’t go on any longer, she will come and comfort me and give me confidence again to persist. When I am working at home, she will always come to check if I have something to drink with me. If I went on a long journey and could not take her with me, she would be the one I would miss the most.
