Model Answer 1:
Last week my father asked to clean the garden before our house and paint the 
wooden wall as well. I was paid for the job. 
We have a big garden before our house in Singapore. Usually, most of the 
houses here are large buildings but my father is a bit different from them. He 
does not prefer to have a building to be used as a residence. He likes gardening 
and if a new house is built, he is to lose the large garden. Due to his 
professional engagement, he was out of the country for around a month and 
when he returned the weeds were unusual in the garden. Usually, my father 
weeds the plants and cleans the other unnecessary elements from the plant, 
and also waters them regularly. Since the weeds were more and he had to 
remain busy for some other purposes, he asked me to clean the weeds and 
paint the garden walls. I agreed to his proposal and cleaned the entire garden, 
painted the walls and repaired some other tools as well. I completed the tasks 
sincerely and the garden looked gorgeous after the cleaning. As a result, my 
father was happy with my sincerity and paid me more than he promised.
I was appointed for the job based on some considerations and 
recommendations of my mom. I am a college student here and the eldest 
member of my family. So, it is an invisible responsibility of mine to do all the 
tasks which are not done by others. Sometimes I feel bored about the issue 
and when I am rewarded (like this one), I change my point of view. So, when 
my dad found his garden filled with weeds and craps, he was seeking a person 
to clean the garden perfectly. He could not manage time to clean the garden 
for he was supposed to be busy for one more week. When he shared the issue 
with mom, she told him that I have nothing to do after college and I am the 
most suitable one for this. Accordingly, dad proposed me and I agreed on his 
proposal after some bargaining (!) about the price. 
I had to work for about four long hours at a stretch to clean the entire garden. 
We live in a big house and the garden is placed right before the house. It is the 


 
largest private garden in the place where we live in the city. The garden owns 
different rare plants and most of the plants are brought from abroad. The 
numbers of plants are not few and thus it took around four hours for me to 
complete the cleaning. I had to cut the weeds, remove the dead leaves from 
the bottom of the plants, sometimes I had to cut the branches as well. I 
worked alone at the garden from 3.00pm to 7.00pm. Thus it took a long time 
for me. I started working after returning from my college. The most important 
and difficult tasks for me was cutting the weeds from the small flower plants. I 
also got hurt with the thrones during the sorting of the plants and when I was 
said to plant a few flower plants (which dad brought from his recent trip to 
Indonesia) I rejected the idea straight. It was impossible for me to work again 
with a spade to loosen the soil, plant the saplings and water them on the same 
day. 
To be frank, the task was not interesting for me then but now I feel that if I get 
another chance, I will do it for free. Though I was irritated in beginning, I was 
feeling comfortable with the task. It was simple and the most interesting task 
was to sort the plants, separate the weeds from the plants and watering them 
all was also good. Besides, dad game 300 bucks for my labour which was 
unexpected. Initially, he told me that I would be paid by 150 bucks but lastly he 
paid me double for his fatherly affection. But now if he asks me for such a job, I 
will do it for free. I liked the job very much and planning to propose dad that I 
would keep the garden clean in his absence. As he is to visit in different 
countries in most of the time of a month, he does not need to worry about the 
garden anymore. 
Model Answer 2:
Completing a thesis paper is really boring and so I hired one of my friends, 
John, to complete my thesis on climate change. He did that very well. Thank 
you for the smart question and I am going the tell everything in detail here.
Before the semester completion at the university, I was asked to submit the 
thesis paper and present it before the class. The thesis was about the climate 
change and its overall impacts on humans, animals and environment. So, it was 
really difficult for me to collect all the necessary information. Accordingly, I 
hired John to complete my thesis paper.
I had completed the initial tasks, collected necessary data and resources for 
the thesis paper. But I was unable to manage enough time to complete 


 
everything. So, I sought help from my friends and definitely it was a paid job. I 
posted the job on my social networking profile and many of the friends 
responded over it. But I picked John for some specific reasons. He was skilled in 
completing thesis paper. He just has submitted his own thesis paper and is well 
aware of everything of such a thesis completion project. So, after talking with 
him, I requested him to complete my project. I agreed on the payment that he 
demanded and in fact, it was a reasonable amount.
It took about a week for John to complete my entire thesis. As I said before, I 
collected all the necessary information and he just placed the information in 
their order. He worked almost day and night to make the thesis paper a 
successful one. By this time, I had to accompany him for each of the needs. 
Sometimes, I made the information clear to him or supported him with 
narratives and literature. The work was not as simple as it sounds. In line with 
John, I also had to participate in some other tasks for the thesis paper. The 
most challenging task was the formatting of the paper on the word processor. 
But John did it successfully for me.
I was worried about the thesis paper that if I could be able to submit it within 
the prescribed deadline. In fact, my final grades were depending on this thesis. 
If I could complete it by the time and the supervisor approves it, I would pass 
the course and be a graduate. But if there are troubles with the thesis, I need 
another semester to complete my graduation. So, it was really a matter of 
concern for me. Without the help of John, it would have been difficult for me 
to complete the thesis paper in due time. I did everything in time and have 
completed graduation. Now I am relaxed about the matter.
