Model Answer 1:
Life is difficult and often people are to experience some sort of troubles. I also 
had to face a trouble when I was unable to remember the lines I read on books 
against a particular question. 
In the beginning of the post-graduation, I took history as one of the mandatory

In last December, I had to appear in the year final exam of my college first year 
and it was difficult for me to cross the barriers as the questions were too hard 
to answer. The exam was about literature and I had to answer some critical 
questions about the history of English literature. The questions were about the 
writing style, plots, relation with the past history of the modern days and more 
other issues. The problem was that the question-maker might have forgotten 
about the syllabus that was prescribed to us by the college authority to be 
followed for the year final exam. Surprisingly, almost all the questions were 
beyond the prescribed course outline and it caused great trouble to all of us; 
especially I was one of the worst sufferers.
Unfortunately, I did not get the prescribed course outline as I was sick heavily. 
Thereby, I could not attend the final classes before the examination where the 
suggestions were delivered. Moreover, I failed to communicate with the other 
mates and friends of mine. As a result, I was completely unaware of the texts 
and suggestions for the exam. The course was titled - English Literature- 
contemporary and old texts. The course materials were available to me but I 
had no idea about what to study. So, it was difficult for me to decide what to 
do and how to do, and I was greatly troubled in the exam hall. With a high 
fever, I went to appear on the exam. Before getting to the college, everything 
was uncertain to me that if I would be able to appear on the exam or not.
However, with the great inspiration from my parents, I started for appearing 
on the exam. I reached the college in time and took my seat. I felt that 
everything was spinning and it happened for my physical weakness. After few 
moments I felt better. But I was shocked at the questions paper and gazed at 
that for about five minutes, silently. Then I started writing the answers. I felt 
the trouble when I started to relate the events of the literary pieces of the past 
and present time. I was unable to read the current literary pieces as I was sick 
for several days before the examination. When I tried to relate the events, it 
was a bit difficult for me. There were texts about the literary pieces in middle 
age while we also had to read the literary pieces of the modern age. Certainly, 
there are some changes in the writings and the themes were not the same. But 
when it was asked to analyse about two different pieces together, it caused 
the trouble. When I was unable to answer the questions, I sought help from 
the invigilators. Fortunately one of the invigilators was the lecturer of the 
course and he was kind enough to provide me with some hints about the 
relations (as he knew about my sickness). 
The feelings about the exam are worst. I had no preparations at all. I thought

that I might not pass the exam and even if I do, my score will be lower than 
others. But in reality, the scenario was different. I passed the course with a 
reasonable score and it appeared unbelievable to me. But the feelings that I 
underwent at the exam hall were disastrous. The exam held for three hours 
and it appeared to me that its three decades. I frequently watched my 
wristwatch if the time has passed or not but the theory of relativity started 
working on me. Time was not passing and each of the seconds appeared like 
an age. My college does not allow submitting the answer scripts before the 
exam hour ends and thus I had to wait longer to submit my copy. Finally, the 
exam was over and I submitted the copy. I was unable to answer all the 
questions; especially I left two short questions unanswered for my ignorance 
over the texts.
