Model Answer 1

Who is your friend?

My friend Sam and I have been together since our first grade. We have always been quite close and soon we became best friends. Sam and I studied in the same college, although we had different fields of study. While I have been interested in history, Sam has always been enthusiastic about literature. He has been creative and highly interested in studying different genres of books. My friend has always been kind and warm hearted in nature and has motivated me to participate in activities which won me awards as well.

What habit does he/she have?

Sam has numerous habits on which we really match including reading, rising early, learning new skills, etc. However, one of the habits which I certainly admire about Sam is his exercising habit. Being an early riser, while I prefer to study, Sam is more of a fitness enthusiast. He always eats a healthy diet, does not opt for junk food and ensures to exercise for at least 30minutes in the morning. He has a routine of doing different workouts and exercises regularly which has kept his immunity and health perfectly balanced. His exercise routine includes walking, jogging, skipping and simple weight lifting.

When did you notice this habit?

Sam’s mother and father both have lived a healthy life with proper food and exercises done regularly. Sam adopted the habit of exercising when he was six years old. He has played numerous sports in school and is one of the fittest people I know. I noticed his habit of exercising when I was 15 years old.

And explain why you want to develop this habit?

I want to develop the habit of exercising just like my friend, Sam. The main reason to develop this habit is to ensure that I have a fit body and a healthy lifestyle. I think apart from being intellectual I also need to live a healthy lifestyle to prevent myself from diseases.

Who is your friend?

My friend Ruby and I have been best friends since our first grade. Ruby and I took admission in the same college in the same field that is literature. She has been creative and highly interested in studying different genres of books. Our friendship has remained strong and while we work in different workplaces, our interests in movies, cooking and exercising remain the same.

What habit does he/she have?

Out of the many great habits that she has, one of the best that I find is that of writing. She has owned journals since she was six years old and developed the habit of writing in her journals everyday. She never misses a day to write in her journal. No matter how the day went for her, she always made sure to write it down in her diary as if it made her relax and stress-free. Growing up she even wrote different articles and poetry for the newspapers and our school magazine. This has encouraged her to pursue her dream of writing her own articles and columns in the place of work.

When did you notice this habit?

I noticed Ruby’s habit of writing a diary when we were ten years old and I had accidentally read one of her pages. While she was really upset, I apologized for the same as I did not know that one should not be reading someone else’s diary. That was the time I noticed that she always wrote everything in her journal and this made her really happy and satisfied. Not just about her daily life but she even had the habit of keeping notes about her daily expenses, her savings and even using note making slips to keep reminders of several important things.

And explain why you want to develop this habit?

I feel writing is a great habit of expressing one’s views and opinions that one is unable to express vocally. I want to develop the habit mainly to enhance my skills in writing, being more of a storyteller, as well as to increase my creativity. I also want to develop the habit making sure that I remember tiny details as well as express my inner thoughts in a place I know is safe.

Who is your friend?

My friend and I have been friends since our college days and used to live together in a hostel. Anushka and I took admission in the same college in different fields such as literature and economics. She has been very creative and interested in studying different genres of books and watching movies. Our friendship has remained strong since college and what kept us engaged was our interests in movies, cooking and gardening.

What habit does he/she have?

She has a lot of good habits that as a roommate I was proud of including the habit of cleaning which she was perfect at. However, one of the habits which I admired was her habit of learning new art and skills. I always loved how she was able to engage herself in different ways of learning. While she took guitar lessons when she was in college, she even started to take lessons for playing the congo through online. She also takes painting lessons and participates in seminars for expanding her knowledge.

When did you notice this habit?

I noticed Anushka’s habit of learning skills from different places after just three months of living with her. I didn't even know how she was able to manage so many lessons altogether and she was brilliant in all of it. I love the fact that she is able to learn from different aspects of life and has the motivation and drive to keep learning new things. This made her really happy and satisfied with herself as well. I feel her habit of being able to learn new skills and increase her knowledge is just exceptional.

And explain why you want to develop this habit?

I feel developing the habit of learning new skills is something that I would be able to endure considering that it would make me more efficient. I would be more self-aware as well as I would be able to increase my own abilities. I would feel more confident and I would be able to extract knowledge from different fields of life as well.
