Ielts speaking a time you received good news sample
The most recent time I received good news from my acquaintance was last month. One evening, while I was chilling out in front of the TV , my cell phone rang. I picked it up and it was one of my high school friends. I wondered why she called me out of the blue but I didn’t have to ask because she immediately shouted for joy, informing me that she had been admitted into her dream university in Canada. I could hear the excitement and happiness in her voice.
I felt elated upon hearing the news. I was so proud of her. We didn’t stay in touch after graduation but she still thought of me when she had joy to share. I had no idea she had wanted to study abroad. She told me that it was her lifelong goal to get admitted into that university but she preferred to keep it to herself and would only let others know if she could make it. And she did. We spent almost an hour talking about her tough journey of getting a fully funded scholarship from such a prestigious university. We had been studying together for years, and I knew how diligent she was but I couldn’t imagine the unbelievable amount of hard work and dedication she had put into the achievement of this goal. I was overjoyed and over-excited about the journey ahead for her.
That phone call was a strong reminder of the importance of sharing and celebrating each other's success. Hearing her great news was incredibly uplifting. It has inspired me to get out of my comfort zone and pursue my lifelong dream so that one day she would hear wonderful news from me too.
