Model Answer:
Receiving a gift is always pleasant and when it is from someone dear, the
enjoyment turns double. My fiancée, Nina Nikita presented me a stunning
leather jacket on my last birthday. It was really an outstanding gift for me.
Generally, I am an introvert and a student of Moscow State University and
undergoing architecture there. I had met Nina Nikita at the university and
found that she was the opposite of me. We formed a friendship that turned
into something deeper. She is a cheerful young lady and
loves to buy gifts for
me. We are in the relation for around 3 years and I have found that she loves
to present me with almost the similar things. She loves to buy clothing for me
and almost half of my clothing is presented by her. On my 23rd birthday, she
bought the leather jacket for me so that I could use that during my ride on my
Harley Davidson Street 500. She bought the jacket so that it would make me
look smarter.
Nina Nikita is the only daughter of her parents. She is an extrovert in nature
and loves to socialise – just the opposite of me. She is
pretty with her dark blue
eyes and wide forehead. The brown hairs look so good to me when those are
ponytailed. Besides, she loves to shop much and buys all the necessary things
for me even if I do not need them. Interestingly, I got introduced to her
accidentally in my class. On the very first day of my class,
I forgot to bring my
pen and could not sign in on the attendance paper. Moreover, it was the first
day of my university and I did not want that the other students should
interpret the issue differently. Being an introvert, I have several bitter
experiences over such issues and often I forget
to bring my pen or other
necessary things and I have to lend them from surroundings. But it was Nikita
who came to my help this time and without any rude remarks, she had lent me
a pen and it was the beginning of our journey.
Nikita loves me so much and she takes care of me. She often rides with me on
my Harley Davidson. She also loves to watch movies and in a movie she saw
that a rider is wearing a leather jacket and that made him look more attractive.
So, she planned to buy such a jacket for me.
On my birthday in last month, she
surprised me with the jacket. This was one of the finest clothing I have ever
had from her. Usually, she buys everything for me as she wants me to look
smarter. To her opinion, being an introvert, I am unable to express my opinions
and thus I am unable to pick the right clothing for me.
Riding on a Harley
Davidson with a simple polo shirt and a faded jeans pant is merely enough.
Thus she has arranged for the leather jacket. She has arranged the money from
her savings. In fact, both of us have a saving account for miscellaneous purpose
and we meet the necessary needs or the emergencies. But it was a complete
surprise for me as she did not tell me anything before buying the piece of
clothing for me. I was greatly pleased with the jacket.
Initially, I thought that she might have bought the clothing for someone else as
she often provides presents to her friends and relatives. But when she
presented that to me, I was speechless. In fact, I
could not find my words to
express my feelings at that moment. When I ride on my Harley Davidson, I feel
the necessity of a jacket but could not manage time to get that. So, I felt
grateful to her. Nikita is my fiancée and we are supposed to get married by one
or two years next. A greater level of understanding is required to maintain a
happy family.
From my part, I need to develop my skills to feel her needs and it
was a lesson for me as well. Nikita felt my need and accordingly she bought the
clothing so that I do not need to worry about it anymore. Then I felt that I also
should develop such a sense so that I could also meet her unspoken needs. But
it was really an unexpected event for me to receive the jacket.
