SAMPLE ANSWER

We always work hard in our lives to get good results. Sometimes good news are the outcome of hard work, but other times we get unexpected good news in our lives. Today, I would like to narrate such an incident that recently happened in my life.

I live abroad, away from my family. It has been one year since I have been living in London to pursue my higher education. I rarely get time to talk to my family in such a busy schedule, and video calls are only possible on weekends. This incident is of the day before yesterday, while I video called my mother at my home in India, I suddenly saw that she was holding a newborn baby in her arms. I was happy as soon as I saw the baby.

It was so cute—just a bundle of joy wrapped in my mom’s arms. I asked my mother who the baby was, and she exclaimed with joy that it was my nephew. It was indeed a surprise for me, as I have been far away from my family; therefore, I wasn’t aware that my sister was pregnant. In my whole life, this has been the best news that I have ever heard. At the same moment, my heart sank because I could not hold this cute little baby in my arms and give him a warm hug.

This was the most special news for me because it was the first baby in the third generation of my family. I could see a lot of other relatives in the video call who are roaming behind. They were all happy, cheering, having a good time, and enjoying with the baby. This is such good news that now, I have booked my tickets to India, and I will be traveling soon in the next week to meet my nephew and see him in real life and cuddle with him.
