Model Answer 1:
India is a populous city and traffic jam is a very common issue for the citizens 
of the country, especially people living in urban areas. The situation is too 
irritating that sometimes people cannot control their emotions over traffic jam 
and start walking leaving their vehicles behind. 
I also experienced such a situation recently when I was about to participate at 
a radio event organised by a local radio station. The event was supposed to be 
aired live and I was one of the key participants representing our own band. In 
fact, the radio event aimed to promote newly emerging band groups so that 
the mass people could come to know about the band groups and to praise 
their songs. The band group named – Dark Shadow is formed of five members 
and I am the vocal. It was set on the last night that I would attend the event as 
the other members were unable to make time. So, being the leader of the 
band, I had to take the responsibility to despite my reluctance. 
So, the next day, it was probably the mid of March 2016, I started for the radio 
station. It was located in New Delhi while my residence was near Delhi 
Cantonment. The distance between my place and the radio station was 
moderate and it would not take over one hour for me. So, accordingly, I 
started for the radio station. I failed to ride on public transports due to massive 
crowds. Besides, I planned to wait for the bus in a queue but the long queue 
discouraged me waiting there. So, simply I hired an auto and started for the 
station. I took my guitar with me to play songs at the radio event and some

newly composed songs. Besides, I was prepared to answer any types of 
questions from the other sides. As this was a live radio program, my band 
members suggested me answering every type of questions with ready wits so 
that the audiences could get a positive idea about us. 
Unfortunately, I could not reach the radio station in time and I had to wait for 
around two hours in the traffic jam. The auto driver tried to escape the 
increasing traffic but he could not do so. Though he tried to cross the main 
road using the narrows inner streets, he failed as the streets were too narrow 
to enter and again he had to join on the main road of the city. As a result, he 
got trapped in the jam perfectly that. So, I had to sit idly for two hours and by 
the same time I informed the issue to the radio authority who invited me. I 
urged them to reschedule the slot if possible for them and explained my real 
situations here. Initially, they said that it is not possible for them to shift the 
program on any other day but I tried to make them realise that I want them to 
hold the program on the scheduled day but a few hours later. I know it is 
difficult for a radio station to shift a program in any other slot, but they did it 
for me. 
I felt worst on the day. Later, I came to know that the traffic congestion took 
place for a clash between two political parties while police had to control the 
situation. Some of the people also got arrested from the spots. So, the vehicles 
could not move easily and entering into the New Delhi streets became difficult 
for them. The radio authority also paid heed to my request as they might have 
realised about the real situation. So, they aired the program after I reached the 
station two and a half hour later after the scheduled time. But it was one of 
the worst experiences of my life.
