雅思口语题库参考答案_雅思口语Part2参考答案之紧张的一天

一、参考范文

　　There are many stressful days I remember from University as well as from work and among them I would like to talk about one particular stressful day at my work. It was a project deadline that we were supposed to deliver before the Christmas holiday. It was due at 15th December 2-3 years back and we were in a good ground to deliver the task to the client. It was a major client of our company and the project was a crucial one for the client as well.

　　We were 8 people involved in this project and on 12th December we revised the project and found that we need to review only before sending the final version of the software application. Next 2 days were day-offs and all of a sudden I got a call from my office that something went wrong regarding the project and the software was not running as expected. I came to office at around 9.00 am on Saturday and found other members had already come or on their way to office.

　　Initially we thought that there would be few bugs on our code and that should not take more than 2-3 hours for us to fix them. But to our surprise we found that the code is a mess and nothing is in order. We started revising the code and found that some of the files had been overridden by newer files which were completely empty. We felt like the sky had just fallen down on our heads and we are in the middle of a deserted area. We all looked at the project manager who was busy talking to the product owner and could guess the hot conversation.

　　I found some of my files were missing from the project and the backup system was not working. We spent 2-3 hours to discuss the situation and tried to find out what should we do. The project manager explained we have no other choice but to work on the missing files all again to make it work.

　　I was very tired and was getting calls from home to attend a family occasion. I felt really helpless and could not be sure if I should leave for few hours to attend the family occasion or not. I explained the project manager that I have to attend the occasion and then I will get back to office. He agreed and I ran for home. From there we went to a relative's house and again I came back to office in the afternoon. I found that things were as they were before I left office and everybody became worried about the project.

　　We worked till 11.30 pm and then decide to let the client know the real situation. We emailed the owner and then emailed to the client that, we would need few more days to finish the project. On that day when I returned home at around 12:45 am, I felt very stressed and tired. I wished the next day would be different.

　　We had to work quite hard for the next few days to make things right. And most surprisingly we had been able to deliver the project to the client on 20th December. Though it made some trouble to the client, he was so understanding and cooperative that he did not complained about it and appreciated us for the hard work.
