Model Answer for IELTS Speaking Part 2 – Topic: Describe an experience when you solved a problem via the Internet.

Describe an experience when you solved a problem via the Internet.

You should say:

What the problem was

– When it was

– How you solved it

– And explain why this experience was memorable

(What the problem was) As a member of the International Exchange Club of the school, I oftentimes encounter with some problems related to the preparation process of organising cultural exchange sessions. As far as I could remember, the one that could have brought our biggest cultural annual fair into disrepute was when a member of my group who was deemed stalwart did not prepare anything until the last day before the day of the fair.

(When it was) My club has taken great pride in this annual fair as thanks to it, we have had the chance to expand our social circle with many prestigious universities over the world. This fair traditionally falls on the last Saturday of March. That problem was not an exception because it happened right on the last Friday of March two years ago when she told me that she had not even touched the documents that I had given her up to 2 weeks prior to the deadline, which really got on my nerves and made my blood boil.

(How I solved it) Luckily, thanks to the Internet, I quickly made response to this problem by helping her finish it soon rather than pouring scorn on her. The Google Drive Sheet allows us to work together at the same time and keep track of what has been written by people. By this, both she and I could interact smoothly with each other and get the timeline done in just 3 hours for the fair taking place on the next day. As I did not want anybody to be on edge, I had decided not to tell anyone else about this problem before the fair came to a close. Not until the reflection that I shared with people about this, and my story left them stunned. Everyone said that both she and I deserved praise as we were able to rise to the challenge right in time.

(Explain why this experience was memorable) I would say that this experience is the most both positive and negative memorable one that I have ever had in my student life. For the negative side, this let me know I was too soft on people as I allowed them to miss their deadline. For the positive side, I realised that although my blood was boiling, I was able to keep calm and joined hands to finish the timeline with her so that the fair could be deliver expected outcome.
