话题分析
这是一道经历类的题目，是2022年1-4月的保留题，虽然问的是“特殊的事情”，但是“特殊”这个定义还是比较主观的，即使是一件看似比较平常的事情，对自己有特殊意义也是可以的。
那等待的特殊事情，一种就是未来发生的事情，比如等待一个offer，等待朋友或亲人相聚。另一种等待，也可以是相对短期的，比如排队等待偶像的签名、等待核算检测的结果。还有其他意义上的“等待”，比如朋友故意让你等待，其实是为了给你一个惊喜。
在选择故事上，要综合上面讲到的“特殊”和“等待”两点。
另外，这道题中，不管等待的结果有没有出现，都可以纳入讨论范围，但是如果要聊还没出结果的事情的话，需要注意一下时态哦！
第一小问“What you waited for” 你在等待什么事情
第一小问中可以先用几句话概括自己等待的事情是什么，具体选题可以参考上面的主题，那关于事情的描述，还是可以从时间、人物、事由几个方面去展开。
第二小问“When you waited”你是什么时候等待的
此处可以展开描写时间，如果是长期的等待，可以说一下从什么时候开始等待，等待了多久，在等待这期间你做了什么相关的事情（比如等待offer的话，每天都会刷新一下邮箱，打听其他同学或朋友有没有收到offer等）；另外如果是短期的等待，还可以描述一下等待时的场景（比如是在队伍当中等待还是在什么地方等待）
第三小问“Why it was special”为什么这件事是特殊的
要解释这件事对于你的特殊意义，一种情况是这个等待比较少见，或者说比较稀有，另一种情况是等待的事情对你来说很重要，决定了未来的走向，还有就是等待的这件事是一种情感的表达。
第四小问“explain how you felt while you were waiting” 你等待的时候是什么心情
首先可以分一个心情大类，比如期待的心情（等待愉快的事情），焦虑忐忑的心情（等待可能不好的结果），疑惑的心态（比如原本约好了，但是没有等到人），害怕的心情（等待自己不敢承受的事情）除了总体的心情之外，可以再聊一下自己的心态变化，从前期，到等待中期，到知道结果后的心情。

答案示例
Waiting for someone is an everyday situation in our daily lives. There was a time when i had to wait for my friends. It was very special. It was my birthday and i had invited a group of friends to a bar to celebrate, we had an appointment there at 8 pm. I was so worried i got there too early, certainly none of them were there. However, i waited for half an hour but no one showed up and then i started feeling uncomfortable and worried. Gradually i lost my patience and started calling each of them, asking why they hadn’t turned up yet. None of them picked up the phone and they all stood me up . I was really pissed off as you can imagine because it was my birthday and my friends treated me that way. I waited a few minutes before i couldn’t take it anymore and decided to leave. As soon as i called the waiter to pay the bill, i heard the song “happy birthday” in the bar. Suddenly all my friends appeared out of nowhere with a birthday cake, and they hugged me and wished me a happy birthday. It was a surprise and my anger quickly gave way to laughter and we spent an unforgettable night chatting until midnight, drinking beers and of course eating the cake.
亮点表达：
lost my patience 失去耐心
had an appointment 约定
stand me up 所有人都放我鸽子
