IELTS Speaking Topics: Describe a time when you forgot/missed an appointment.

Q- Describe a time when you forgot/missed an appointment.

You should say:

• when it was
• who you made it with
• why did you miss it
• and how you felt about it

Ans- So, there was this one time, it was last month, when I totally forgot about an appointment I had made. I was supposed to meet up with my friend at a local café on a Saturday afternoon. We planned to catch up and talk about some important stuff. But, you know what? I completely spaced out and ended up standing my friend up.

The reason for missing the appointment was a total mix-up on my part. I had a crazy busy week with a ton of things going on, both work-related and personal. I had so much on my mind that the appointment totally slipped my mind. And to make matters worse, I didn’t even set a reminder or mark it on my calendar, which could have saved me from this forgetful blunder.

When I finally realized that I had missed the appointment, I felt so embarrassed and disappointed in myself. I mean, I totally inconvenienced my friend and wasted their time. I couldn’t believe how forgetful and irresponsible I had been. Right away, I reached out to my friend, apologizing like crazy and explaining what happened. Thankfully, my friend was understanding and forgave me, but I still couldn’t shake off the guilt.

That whole experience taught me a major lesson about being organized and responsible when it comes to managing my commitments. I’ve learned the hard way to set reminders, use alarms, and keep a well-organized schedule to avoid messing up like this again. And you know what? It also reminded me about the importance of good communication and owning up to our mistakes. So, yeah, I definitely learned my lesson and I’m determined to be more on top of my appointments and commitments from now on.
