Model Answer 1:
I am a student of the college and passing some hefty days for my academic
studies. My year ending exams are ahead and thus I have to take a better
preparation for the exams. So, I went to meet my friend Arthur to have a group
discussion before the exam. I met his parents at his place.
Arthur lives in a nuclear family consisting only five members – his dad, mom,
two siblings and Arthur himself. He is lucky to have his friendly family. All of
the members are genuinely cordial and allows expressing opinions. They are
cooperative as well in case of academic supports. So, whenever I go to meet
Arthur, I take some suggestions from his parents as well which prove effective
for me later. After reaching their home, Arthur’s mom gave me a warm
welcome. She also asked about my parents and how were they doing,
especially about my dad who underwent an accident recently. Arthur’s mom,
Mrs. Susana, is too friendly with me while his dad, Mr. Robinson also loves me
like his son.
Mr. Robinson is a doctor while Mrs. Susan is a housewife. I know everything
about them and in fact, they shared their life events with me like their family
friend. When I went their house for the first time with Arthur, I got familiar
with them. They discussed different issues with me on that day and declared
me as one of their family members. They talk about different things on that
day, especially the early days of their lives. They struggled a lot in the
beginning of their life. After their marriage, it was difficult for them to survive
in this city. They did not have any job. Mr. Robinson could not find any suitable
organisation which will evaluate his skills. He is a doctor of psychology and now
is one of the leading psychologists in the city. Though Arthur’s mom wanted to
get involved into wage earnings, Mr. Robinson did not allow her to do so.
Rather, he inspired her to maintain the households. Now they are happy with
their children and profession.
When, in a tight schedule, I do not have chances to meet with Arthur’s parents
in the right manner and they also do not show excessive interest on us. Rather
they allow us to sit together and discuss the suggestions of the upcoming
exams. So, when I went on last Sunday to meet Arthur, I did not have many
talks with them except a few moments of courteous discussions. I found that
Mr. and Mrs. Robinson were sitting together and watching a soccer match on
television. Mrs. Susan asked me about my family and parents. She was worried
about my dad’s accident and both of them also went to meet my dad when the
accident occurred. As I told them about my visit to their home was in the
discussion of the upcoming year ending issues, they did not want me to waste
time anymore with them. So, I entered into Arthur’s reading room and
discussed the exam topics.
Arthur’s parents are different from my parents in some aspects. Firstly, they
are friendly with their children while my parents are reserved with us. Usually,
my father is reserved with his children, including myself, as he believes that
befriending with the kids is disadvantageous. He is also on the view that when
the kids will think that their parents are friendly with them, they will do more
mischievous activities than before. So, it is imperative, according to my dad,
not to be friendly with the kids. My mom is also on the similar view. But she
takes care of us and if we are in distress over any issues, she comes to help us.
She is a bit flexible comparing to my dad. But my parents are also cordial to
guests and entertain them with the right manners as I saw it to be done by
Arthur’s parents.
