Q.
What responsibilities do children have towards their parents?
A.
 
The most important responsibility the children have towards their parents is 
to abide by all the directives they get from the parents. There are no parents 
who want to have their kids in distress. So, the children should pay attention to 
their parents, take care of them in their old age and overall they should respect 
the parents always.

Model Answer 1:
I love to watch movies in my leisure hours and have watched a wide number of 
movies. It is a kind of addiction to me and usually, I watch at least one movie a 
day. 
The Gods Must be Crazy is the best movie I have ever seen and I like it most for 
many reasons. I have watched the movie for many times and each of the time 
the pleasure was different to me. It never becomes old with me. The natural 
reactions against the modernization of the protagonist - Xi makes me amused. 
His reactions against the modern civilisations are quite natural and funny as 
well. But the other installments (part two and three) of the same movie appear 
as those are not up to the mark. Many of the events have been exaggerated 
which has damaged the real beauty of the movie. So, considering all the 
aspects, the first part of the series is my favourite movie and I think many of

the audiences will agree with my opinion. 
I watched the movie first when I was a teen and it might be the 1990s when I 
watched that. My father brought the movie that was played on a VCR 
connected to our television. At that time, watching movies had two ways only. 
The first one is to go to the cinemas while the second one was to bring the 
video cassettes at home. My father also loved watching movies and he brought 
the video tape of the movie. But since I was a kid, I could not derive much 
pleasure in the beginning. When I grew up, I started understanding the inner 
meaning of the movie. Sometimes I have watched the movie alone and in 
some cases, I played the movie at home when someone came to visit us. In my 
30s today, still I am fond of the movie as I was in my teenage. 
The movie is all about a tribal population (bushman) who live in a remote part 
of Kalahari Desert in African continent. Life goes on for them but the trouble 
occurred when they received a piece of Coca-Cola bottle which was thrown by 
an airplane pilot. The bottle was received by Xi, the lead character of the 
movie. It brings a change in his family. The family members started quarrelling 
among themselves. The peace of life was broken for the bottle. So, Xi wants to 
return the bottle. He believed that since the bottle has fallen from above, it 
might be the Gods who have thrown it. He starts his epic journey to return the 
bottle to the Gods and experiences different strange events of his life. 
The movie is the best movie to me for some specific reason. It was made in the 
1980s and the plot concept is clear. It wants to give a message to the modern 
people that everything they are doing is not fair. This is a comedy movie but 
the message it provides in guise of comedy is strong. The movie shows that Xi 
is praying before killing an animal while the modern people do not perform so. 
Moreover, every blessing of the modern world was unfamiliar to him and he 
could not cope up with the complexities of life in the city. He knew how to 
survive in the desert and jungle but survival in the city becomes difficult for 
him. In fact, modernization has made life more complex than the uncivilised 
life. Besides, political turmoil (depicted in the movie) also shows the unstable 
situations of the modern era. Xi, now wants to go back in his tribe but due to 
the complicated system, he cannot get back easily. The movie actually shows 
the simplicity of life. So, like the movie best.
