Here is my model answer (8+)

Notice that I am not 'lying'. I am simply speaking generally about the topic. This is way better than making up a lie and pretending that this happened to you. Examiners can easily sniff out your bullshit, so don't even try to tell them a lie and instead be completely honest about your answer. Conversely, this is probably the best way to stand out among thousands of IELTS candidates :)
