Model Answer 1:
Life is filled with numerous desired as well as sudden events. People are to 
form different habits in different parts of their life and changes in life are 
inevitable. I would like to talk about a great change in my life that I consider as 
one of the best things to happen in my life. I was quite idle and highly inactive 
and liked to sit idly always. Now my idleness has been removed. 
Before my admission to the university, I was affected with inactivity. I felt that I 
have been made to sit idly. My parents, relatives and friends started terming 
me as the King of idleness. They were true to a great extent. Even my mom had 
to feed me in this matured age as I was reluctant to take my foods by myself. 
So, I turned into the laughing object for all and I, in fact, did not care about the 
issues. My mom also helped to complete my school and college home works. I 
was also dependent on my siblings for some of my tasks like I asked them to 
have some chocolates for me from the superstores or sometimes I asked them 
to bring some books for me. But if I wanted, I could have done the works all by 
myself. My laziness did not allow me to do the things. But when I was in my 
university, I had to change my idleness and lifestyle. 
I needed to do all the things by myself. Living in a dormitory does not allow the 
students to keep their parents with them for the household chores!!! Everyone 
here needs to do their own work. I had to clean my clothes, at times make my 
coffee as well as clean the room. Often my parents came to visit me at the 
dormitory and they were surprised to see me doing the necessary things for 
me that I could not do at home. When a student is in university level, s/ he 
comes to a point where there are fewer chances to rely on others. When a 
student enters into a graduate level, s/he becomes capable of taking care of 
them. They do not need someone else to depend on for the daily activities. 
Rather, relying on others sound weird in this stage. So, for me, the changes 
were required as I entered into my university. 
The effects of the change were wonderful. When I used to rely on others for 
my purposes, I experienced a combined reaction from them. Some of them 
criticised me for being lazy and I got hurt with the negative criticism. Some 
others were on the view that my parents are caring me much which will have a 
detrimental impact on me in later stages. But some of my relatives and friends 
were sympathetic to me and tried to defend me in such situations. But when I 
changed, I mean removed my laziness from my life, everyone seemed to be 
happy about me. They were happy as I did all my necessary things by myself. In

fact, I was too lazy and I became dependent on others. Everyone, especially 
the family members of mine, helped me greatly in providing all the necessary 
supports. They never declined with any of my demands. But now, I am able to 
complete all of my necessary things all alone. My life has greatly been 
changed. 
Removing the idleness was the best ever change in my life and I was happy 
with that. Now I am in my third year of graduation and able to do all the 
necessary things for me. I do not need to be dependent on someone else to do 
my homework or assignments. I am able to do everything, alone. I can now 
move from place to place, alone. I can ride on public transports and sometimes 
I cook for me as well. The changes are positive for me and I am able to cope up 
with every situation once which was impossible for me. The removal of 
idleness from my nature has made me a self-reliant man. I am now confident 
to perform all the tasks for me and even I help others in their needs. All these 
are shaping me into a new form. I love the change!
