Model Answer 1:
Staying at home is not an easy task. In fact, this is one of the toughest tasks so 
far I have encountered. The similar thing happened to me in the last week of 
December. I got stuck at home for the excessive snowfall.

Currently, I live in Montreal, Canada though my origin is in Columbia and my 
family lives there. I am an undergraduate student and execute the expenses by 
working at a local computer selling and servicing shop as a part-timer. Working 
as a part-time sales executive, I have to maintain a notable number of 
responsibilities. I have to attend office almost every day but it was the morning 
of the day after the Christmas Day when I had to stay at home all the day. This 
was the beginning of the week. But I could manage to attend neither my office 
nor my university class. I had a long tiring day on that date. Staying at home is 
really unpleasant if you do not have anything interesting to do. 
I could not go outside for a heavy snowfall. It snowed all around the city I live 
in. Though this is the time of snowing here, there was a sudden change in the 
weather pattern. It started to snow heavily. In fact, the snow started from the 
middle of the previous night and continued to fall heavily during the next day. 
So, it was hard to get out of the home. The snowfall was so heavy that the 
vehicles were not plying on the streets. Some of the parked private vehicles 
got jammed with the snow. Without removing the snows, it was impossible to 
move the cars from the parked spaces. Some snow ploughs started working to 
get rid of the snow but they could not move ahead for the heavy snowfall all 
around. They had to wait for the weather condition to be stabled. It was one of 
the greatest snowfall of the year. A good number of people like me had to stay 
at home and pass the boring moments.
Usually, I do not stay at home for so long. Hence, there is no tool or equipment 
with me for my recreation except my laptop. But the laptop is also filled with 
the academic documents. So, I watched some video songs and tried to enjoy a 
movie. But none of them was enjoying to me. In fact, I was worried about the 
class and the work. An important class was scheduled on that day while the 
shop manager asked me to attend the shop early on the very day. So, it was an 
important day to me. But I had to stay at home. I informed the issue to my 
manager and a classmate. The shop manager was considerate and managed 
the issue while the thing was not similar in the university. The teacher came to 
take the class and took it with only three students who lived in the university 
dormitory.
Staying at home is really uncomfortable when someone does not have any 
specific way to pass the moments. I got bored around the day. The feelings

were irritating to me. my surrounding locality turned white. Some of the kids 
started playing with snow outside but I gave up the idea to move with them. 
Besides, there was none with me that I will have some chats. So, the entire day 
was ineffective for me. I also tried to focus on my studies, but could not do so. 
All the feelings were numb on this day. It was one of the roughest days of my 
life.
