Model Answer 1:
I work at a multinational computer hardware manufacturing company in 
Malaysia. Mr Andrew Peterson is my colleague and he appears the most 
irritating person to me for some reasons. In fact, I have never met a person like 
him before.
Mr Peterson is a man of less wisdom. He talks much and interferes in almost 
everything that he listens regardless of importance to him. Many of my 
colleagues are also irritated by him. As an individual, he is good but for his 
nosiness, he is disliked by everyone like me. But nobody can protest against 
him because he is also the manager of the company where we are working. To 
exercise his power and intelligence (!) he always is in search of seeking the 
faults of others and wants to revise the faults. Besides, he always interferes 
even into the personal matters of the employees which are extremely 
intolerable for us.
I met him first in the office. He was on the interview board. In fact, it was my 
bad luck to meet a person like him. Before joining this hardware manufacturing 
company, I used to work at another company that dealt with some specific 
parts of the computer. I had some problems with the office schedule. They 
asked me to join at the roaster duty. But it was not possible for me and I 
politely informed them about my inability to continue anymore with the 
company. So, I started seeking jobs, especially a suitable one for me. It was my 
regular task to seek the job until I get this one. I submitted my CV and they 
asked me for a formal interview. I attended accordingly and got selected for 
the post after a thorough interviewing process. Mr Peterson was the chair of 
the interview committee. I am grateful to him for selecting me but I had to 
prove my worth against the post.
He is the manager of the manufacturing company in Malaysia. In fact, he is the 
in-charge of the company that is headquartered in Canada. I admit that he is a 
competent employee to care for everything but his nosiness is the most 
irritating issue for the majority of the employee. There are some staffs who 
love to be with him and care for him for their own benefits, but I am unable to

be his shadow. I am also unable to nod at every of his statement and activities. 
In fact, he tries to dominate everyone at the office. Mr Peterson wants to know 
each and everything about the office. And most of the employees think this is 
not fair for him. He is responsible for some specific tasks. He is to care for the 
weekly and monthly production and sales issues. Besides, he is also responsible 
for taking care of the production house lest the production is up to the mark in 
line with the demands of the market and more other duties.
But despite his responsibilities, he tries to do something more. It proves his 
stupidity. For instance, if someone has any family issue, he tries to interfere 
there and provide a solution regardless of necessity. As a result, he has turned 
into an irritating character in the office. Nobody likes him anymore and only 
maintains a minimal relationship with him. He could have been an interesting 
person if he had avoided such snoopiness. He always tries to insult the 
employees- both in direct and indirect manners. Being his subordinate, nobody 
is able to protest fearing the ending of their jobs. The similar is with me. I am 
talking about him here but it is not possible for me to advise him to change his 
attitude. So, he will remain an irritating person to me until I quit the job.
