Sample Answer:
“I’d like to talk about a photo that never fails to make me feel happy. It’s a picture of a family gathering that took place during my sister’s wedding a few years ago. In the photo, we are all gathered around, laughing and sharing a special moment. The setting is a beautiful garden, and the vibrant colors of the flowers add to the joyous atmosphere.
I took this photo during the wedding reception. It was a warm summer evening, and the sun was setting, casting a golden glow on everyone. I always keep this photo in a frame on my desk, and I find myself looking at it quite often.
The reason this photo makes me happy is the sheer happiness and love radiating from everyone in the picture. It’s a snapshot of a moment when our entire family came together to celebrate a significant milestone. The smiles on our faces, the warmth in our embraces – it all captures the essence of that beautiful day. Whenever I feel stressed or down, glancing at this photo instantly lifts my spirits and reminds me of the importance of family and shared moments of joy.”
