Model Answer:

Introduction:
Time is a valuable asset, and we should spend it wisely. However, sometimes we may end up doing things that we regret later on. For this topic, I will talk about an activity that I did that I feel was a waste of my time.

When it was:
Last summer, during my summer vacation, I decided to learn a new language. Well, little did I know back then that it was not a prudent decision.

What you did:
I was quite excited about it, and I spent a lot of time researching the best courses and resources available. I finally found an online course and started taking the classes. And with this course, I was expecting to learn and master the German language.

How long it took:
I spent several weeks studying the German language, spending hours each day memorizing vocabulary, practising grammar rules, and trying to master the pronunciation.

And explain why you think that was a waste of your time:
However, after a few weeks, I realized that I was not enjoying it as much as I thought I would. I was not making the progress I wanted, and I did not have any immediate use of the language. I also found that I was neglecting other things that were more important to me, such as spending time with my family and pursuing my hobbies. With this experience, I learned that it is important to prioritize our time and invest it in things that matter to us the most.
