Sample Answer:
Honestly, I’m not really someone who frequently asks for or accepts gifts,
as I’ve always believed in earning things on my own. However, there’s one
particular occasion when I received a gift that I truly wanted, and it left a
lasting impact on me.
It was on my birthday last year when I got the gift I had been longing for—a
smartphone.
I had been eyeing it for months, and even though I didn't directly ask for it,
I kept mentioning how much I admired its features. What made this gift even
more special was that it came from my older brother, who had been aware of my desire for the
phone but also understood that I was hesitant to ask for it.
When I unwrapped it, I was over the moon It was the exact model I had wanted, and
the fact that my brother had gone out of his way to get it for me was truly
heart-warming. I felt a mix of gratitude and surprise because I never expected him to actually follow
through with it, especially since I never outright asked him.
The experience made me realise how thoughtful my brother is and how much he
understands my preferences. It wasn't just about receiving a material gift; it
was about the thought behind it, and the fact that he recognized something that
would make me happy. I was also a little humbled by his gesture, as I don’t
usually expect anything from anyone, but this gesture made me feel valued and appreciated.
