 Describe a situation when you laughed at the wrong moment

You should say:

—When was it?

—Where was it?

—Why did you laugh?

—Why was it the wrong moment to laugh?

Sample answer:

Its true that laughing is good for our health and we should laugh often. But there are a few

situations when it is impolite to laugh. Recently I had such a moment.

Last year the world went through a paradigm shift due to the corona pandemic. During that

time, instead of going to school, I took online classes, and when the administration lifted the

lockdown, I organized a party to which I invited all my classmates.

All of my friends reached in time except Aladin, who came late. We all started laughing when

he arrived because Aladin had gained weight. Rather than greeting him correctly, I started

body shaming and cracking jokes about his weight gaining.

In the beginning, Aladin smiled, which later turned into tears.

After seeing drops in his eyes, I felt terrible and tried to talk to him. In the discussion, he told

me that he went through a tough time in the last six months due to an adverse medical

condition, and he gained weight, not by overeating but because of taking steroids to cure his

ailment.

Listening to his story, I was in a state of sadness and realized my mistake. Before cracking

jokes about someone’s body, it is wise to know what situation that person is going through.

I immediately apologized to him and gave him special attention at the party.

In the end, he returned smiling, and I sighed in relief.
