: Sample Answer

I heard the good news in my university while attending my classes as one of the University staff from the registrar office asked me to meet the registrar immediately. Accordingly, I rushed to the registrars’ office and came to know about the news. This is really a nice candidate task topic and I am glad to answer it. I will explain everything in brief now

The news was about a scholarship in Germany. Actually, I applied for a full free scholarship for my MA degree in journalism and got it. It was a good news for me as I had been waiting for the news for a long time. In fact, I gave up hope about the scholarship and the news arrived when I was least expecting it. So, it was a great news for me and I was delighted hearing this. The university authority was glad too and the registrar assured me to provide the necessary assistance from the university so that I could complete the degree from that German University

I was attending a lecture about public relation. I got admitted in this university as I did not get response from the foreign universities. Moreover, I had completed my bachelor degree from this university. Being frustrated, I focused on the classes here and at this time it was really a great news for me. The registrar invited me to his office to inform me about that the German university has issued a letter to him asking to provide details about me. The German university also assured that it had reserved a seat for me in the next semester

I felt really glad after hearing the news. It was a success for me during this frustrating moment. And so I felt lucky after receiving the news. My parents were happy too
