Part 3

许下的承诺

3. Do you often keep your promises?

答案:

Yes, I consider myself someone who generally keeps my promises. I believe that integrity is a vital aspect of my character, and I strive to be a person others can rely on. For instance, if I commit to helping a friend with a project or attending an important event, I make it a priority to follow through.

However, I also recognize that life can sometimes present unexpected challenges that may hinder my ability to fulfill certain commitments. In such cases, I find it essential to communicate openly and honestly about my situation, ensuring that the other party understands why I might not be able to keep my promise. Ultimately, while I aim to honor my commitments, I also value transparency and the importance of setting realistic expectations.
