Describe a plan that you had to change recently.

Last month, I planned a day trip to a lake outside the city with my friend, Mei. I made the plan about a week before, because we both had a free Saturday and wanted to spend some time outdoors. We were going to take a bus in the morning, walk around the lake, have lunch there, and come back in the evening.

On Friday night, the weather forecast said there would be heavy rain for most of Saturday. We checked it again in the morning, and it still looked bad, so we decided not to go. I was a little disappointed because I had been looking forward to getting out of the city, and we had already talked about the trip for several days.

Instead, we met at a café near my home and had lunch. After that, we went to a small indoor market and looked around for a while. It wasn't as exciting as the lake trip, but we still had a nice day and could talk properly. I felt slightly sad at first, but later I was glad we changed the plan because travelling in heavy rain would not have been comfortable.

Honestly, one plan I had to change recently was a Saturday trip to a lake just outside the city with my friend Mei. We came up with the idea about a week beforehand, when we realised we were both free and wanted a break from our usual routine. We planned to catch a morning bus, walk around the lake and have lunch there before heading home.

The problem was that the weather forecast had turned quite worrying by Friday evening: it predicted heavy rain for most of the next day. We checked again on Saturday morning, and the rain still looked likely, so we decided it wasn't worth travelling all that way just to stay wet and uncomfortable. I was disappointed, especially since we'd been talking about the trip all week, but neither of us wanted to spend the day stuck outside in bad weather.

Instead, we met at a café near my place for lunch, then wandered around a small indoor market nearby. It wasn't the outdoor day we’d pictured, but we found a few interesting stalls and had plenty of time to catch up. If we'd gone to the lake, we probably would have spent most of the day sheltering from the rain. So although I felt a bit let down at first, the change turned out well, and I was glad we’d made a sensible decision.
