【雅思口语Part2】Describe a surprise you have had2

A pleasant surprise is always a joyful thing. I have received many surprises in my life, but there is one surprise that I really want to mention cuz it left a deep impression on me until now,well, definitely a good and pleasant impression. It was on December 31st 2014, just a couple of hours before the arrival of new year. I was preparing for the New Year’s party with my friends here in Shanghai. I heard someone ring the bell on the door and my friend come to open the door. Then he say to me“They come for you, they said they are your friends” I was still busy with my stuff so I replied without even taking a glance at the strangers at the door “So who are they?”  Then when I turnaround I found 2 familiar figures standing in front of me, then I yelled “ Ohmy god, you guys? Seriously?” They are my childhood mates coming back from Japan to pay me a visit in this particular time of the year. There is famous saying in China “There’s nothing more joyful than a friend from far come to visit you”

To be frank, I have been expecting them come back to join my party at this special occasion, cuz it think it’s a time that faithful friends join together. So their unexpected visit was truly adream come true. Later I know that they had arranged this visit for more than a month and decide to arrive at the last day of 2013 to celebrate the New Year with me, we haven’t met for almost 3 years and last time we met was still in Tokyo, so it’s really pleasant that I can catch up with them, plus, I was in such an exciting moment, I really can’t figure out anything more cheerful than this. I felt like I was surrounded by the warm atmosphere of ushering the new year and enjoying the valuable friendship, that was definitely the best new year’s eve I’ve ever had.
