Well, thank you, sir, for providing me this cue card. Today, I'd like to talk about an incident when I was late. I am very punctual and always try to maintain that. It was my cousin's ceremony. He invited me on Thursday, but I thought he invited me on Friday. However, on the day of the event, he called me to ask where I was. I was shocked when I got his call because I totally forgot about it. He was asking me where I was. I handled that conflict and rushed to get there. When I arrived, I found that the program was about to end. I felt very ashamed and upset that I could not share in his happiness. He told me he was also disappointed because of my lateness and said it was not good. I tried to make conversation, and after that, he understood me, and we enjoyed the ceremony together.
