Question
Describe a guest who visited your home.
Sample answer
We often have guests, visitors and relatives in our home and for special occasions like a birthday party several invited guests come to our home.
One such occasion and special guest I remember came to our home 2-3 years back. He was a famous writer and came to our home on occasion of my older sister’s marriage ceremony. He was known to the father of the bridegroom’s senior brother and a well-known figure in our city. His name is Mr. Jonathon Durik (…say a name you like…) and when he arrived all of us recognized him. The marriage ceremony was a big program and almost 200 people attended the ceremony. We had to prepare for the program for about a week before the due date. This ceremony was arranged in our own house and we had been tremendously busy for the occasion. A marriage ceremony is a big arrangement and my parents were very busy as well as sad that my sister would be leaving our house after her marriage. This was a big event and there were lots of things to be done. I had been so busy and had to greet and serve so many guests that I had hard time concentrating.
The bridegroom and their relatives arrived and we got even busier. They introduced the guests to us and one of them was Mr. Durik. I greeted him and helped him sitting in a comfortable couch. I got busy with other stuffs and came to the guests time to time to look after if he needed anything. I asked what type of foods he would prefer to eat and took him to the dinning place. I had a short conversation with him and I told him that I have read some of his books and those were good stories. He smiled and asked me if I have enjoyed a book called ‘Shadows and smiles’. I understood that he was trying to figure out if I have really read his books or just told so to convince him. I told him the reasons I liked that book and I found him smiling. In the evening, just before the time of the guest’s departure I brought a book written by him and asked if he would be kind enough to give me an autograph. He signed it and wrote a complementary note on the book.
My feelings on occasion of my sister’s marriage was a mixture of happiness and sadness. I was happy that she was getting married as well as sad that she would not be with us the way she had always been. About the writer’s visit to our house, I would say that was exciting. Meeting a famous person and having a conversation with him/ her is always exciting and I felt the same. I wish I had more times to talk to him as that would have let me talk more on his writings and books.
