Describe a time when you received money as a gift
Choosing a gift for someone is in my opinion one of the most confusing activities because there are many factor that a person needs to take into account such as the age , gender and the taste of the receiver. So sometimes, the best approach is to give money as a gift. But I heard that some people don’t like it because to them, giving money means a kind of disrespect because it can mean that the person who gave money chose the lazy way instead of taking the time to choose a particular present. But for me it’s not a big deal and actually I prefer it because I have received many gifts that I didn’t like or didn’t need but when it comes to money, I can spend it however I like.
So, a similar situation happened on my last birthday. Actually, among my friends we have a tradition that when it’s one of the friends’ birthday, we just collect money and every one makes some sort of contribution and then we buy something big. And of course, my friends did the same before my birthday. But they didn’t know what to buy and instead they just put the money in an envelope and gave it to me. When I opened it, I realized that there was a decent amount of money. And the first thing I did with the money is that I went shopping and I spent almost of it buying new clothes and I also had lunch. And I actually had a great time that day and Of course, I thanked my friends for this generous gesture.

Describe a time when you decided to wait something
For me waiting is one of the most frustrating activities. Maybe it’s just because I always try to be punctual and I expect the same from others as well. And I normally get mad at people if they make me wait a lot. I mean waiting for somebody for like 5-10 minutes is not a big deal but anything which exceeds that is what drives me crazy especially when people don’t have a good reason for being late.
That being said, in life there are some situation where I have to swallow my pride and one such occasion happened a couple of years ago. At the time I was jobless and working hard to get a job. I applied for job vacancies in multiple companies but most of them rejected me and some of them didn’t even bother to reply to my emails. But there was this company, which actually organized an interview and I was more than happy for it because it was my last chance. So, I woke up early, had breakfast and listened to some music to lift my spirit up and put myself in a good mood. I dressed up neatly and went to the venue where the interview was supposed to take place.
So, I went up to the receptionist and she showed me the waiting room and asked me to wait for my turn patiently. Stressing the word ‘patiently’ and she gave me a subtle smile. Of course I didn’t get what it was about so I just sat there. Then I started to realize what she was hinting at. I sat in the waiting room more than 4 hours before I went up her and asked if everything was OK and then she asked me to wait more. So you can imagine until the interview, my mood was all ruined and I was hungry but I kept waiting and I was interviewed and after that they offered me a job in the company and I’ve been working there ever since.
