to be much traffic; people don’t work on Sundays, so the roads aren’t usually very 
busy. 
Everything was going well until suddenly I saw 
a queue of cars
on the road in front 
of me. I had no choice but to join the queue and wait to get past whatever was 
causing the delay. It 
turned out
that it was caused by some roadworks, and it took 
me an extra 30 minutes to get past them. 
Getting stuck in traffic congestion doesn’t usually make me angry, but this time it

mainly because I wasn’t expecting it and I knew that my friends were waiting 
to meet me for lunch. I felt frustrated and powerless because there was nothing I 
could do to change the situation, and I had no idea how long I would be sitting 
there waiting. When I finally saw the reason for the congestion, I was relieved that 
I was close to 
getting past
the roadworks, but I still felt a bit stressed knowing that 
I was half an hour late.

Model Answer
My favourite season in England is winter. A typical English winter would last around 
4 or 5 months between November and March, but when I say that I like the winter, 
I’m really thinking about the coldest month or two each year. 
During those really
