Describe a time you needed to use your imagination
You should say
When it was
Why you needed to use imagination How difficult or easy it was
And explain how you felt about it
In my life, I often come across situations where I need to use my imagination. Today, I’d like to share a story about when I had to use my imagination while traveling.
In the summer two years ago, I traveled to Italy where most people didn’t speak English well, so I had a hard time communicating with them. One day I went to an Italian restaurant for lunch. The customer service staff didn’t speak English at all, and to make matters worse, my phone was out of battery so I couldn’t communicate with them using the Google translator. Before I ordered, the staff showed me a menu full of Italian and no pictures at all. I was really desperate. Since it was difficult to communicate, I had to rely on my limited understanding of Italian and imagination about how they would prepare the dish. It was not easy to rely on imagination because I was afraid that I would make mistakes. After a long struggle, I ordered a risotto dish based on my imagination on flavor even though I had no idea what the ingredients were.
When the dish was served, I was shocked because my imagination was right. It was a good dish, with chicken and mushrooms. It matched what I had in mind exactly. By the way; it’s pleasing that the food was very delicious.
