Sample Answer
Well, it’s quite a common occurrence when the people fail to attend appointments after scheduling them. So, i am not exception. It have a particular situation to be shared in this cue card. I vividly remember i had an appointment with my doctor a couple of months ago in relation to hair fall But Unfortunately i missed it.
Actually the appointment was arranged/scheduled on Sunday at 4 pm in the evening. The same Sunday’s morning my cousin came to my home. And he requested me to go along with him for shopping. I couldn’t turn him down. I thought i will return home by 3’o clock and will be able to attend meeting. My cousin took me to the renowned shopping mall of our city.
Where we were so engrossed in shopping that the meeting slipped my mind. All of a sudden i looked at my watch. It was 3’o clock. Immediately we foot the bill and left for home. Again unluckily on the way the road was jammed with vehicles. We were moving at a snail’s pace. It took us approximately 2 hours to get out of this traffic congestion. As a result i missed an imperative appointment.
I was greatly/deeply saddened by this. I realized it happened due to my reckless/carelessness. But now there was no point in crying over spilt milk. I made a plea to my doctor to rescheduled the meeting and promised to become punctual for the next time. Therefore this was the occasion when i missed a crucial appointment.
