Describe a time that you arrived early

You should say:

  • When it was;
  • How early you arrived;
  • Why you arrived early;

And explain how you felt about it.

Sample Answer

So last week I actually had to show up early for my friend’s wedding party. And as her bestie, I think it’s my responsibility to help her have the best wedding ever, so on her wedding day, I decided to show up early and help her with all the preparations. I think it was about 5am when I arrived at the front door of her house. Actually, I’m quite the night owl, so it was a little difficult for me to get up that early but once I saw the big smile on her face I was completely awake and got to work right away. So, the list of things-to-do was quite long, decorating the room with flowers, cleaning dishes, preparing the food, so I was really glad that I had decided to come early. By about 9am, after everything was thoroughly done, the wedding ceremony began in a very sincere and happy atmosphere.

Witnessing the bride and groom exchanging vows was quite emotional and I even shed a tear or two. I felt very happy for her that she’d finally found her Mr. Right. And after the wedding party, despite being exhausted, I was also quite relieved and delighted because I think my help was one of the factors that really made her day so special.
