Question – Describe an activity that made you feel tired.
You should say:
– When and where it took place
– Why you took part in it
– What the activity was
– And explain why it made you feel tired
- Though not particularly athletic, I had always considered myself to be fit.
- However, this perception was recently shattered quite severely.
- Invited by my very religious friend, I joined him on a visit to Vaishno Devi, a renowned Hindu Temple in Jammu and Kashmir.
- Situated 12 km away from Katra, the temple requires a trek after reaching Katra by car.
- Despite the diverse age groups making the journey, I underestimated its difficulty.
- Initially excited upon reaching, the excitement turned into misery as I realized my unpreparedness for the journey.
- The first two kilometers felt manageable, but soon after, pain set in, particularly in my ankles and feet.
- Requesting a break, my friend insisted we had to return before nightfall, allowing only a break at the halfway mark, where another temple is located.
- Struggling, I pushed myself, reaching the halfway point at kilometer 5 with depleted strength.
- Deciding to wait there, I suggested my friend continue alone, but he insisted we press on.
- Though a brief break alleviated some pain, the misery returned after 500 meters.
- Despite my complaints, my friend persistently motivated me.
- Somehow, I completed the rest of the journey, utterly exhausted by the end.
- That day prompted me to commit to improving my physical fitness.
- Sedentary due to studies, I had neglected my fitness, realizing that if I felt tired at such a young age, I wouldn’t manage well as I grew older.
