Describe a child with whom you had an interesting conversation. v.1

Describe a child with whom you had an interesting conversation. v. 1
Describe a child with whom you had an interesting conversation. You should say: who the child was how you know him/her what conversation you have had with him/her and explain why you think the conversation you had with this child was interesting. [You will have to talk about the topic for one to two minutes. You have one minute to think about what you are going to say. You can make some notes to help you if you wish. ] Model Answer: I was always under the impression that the children can be “handful” probably because I was never good with children, especially, when it came to striking a conversation with them or understanding their needs. But, all that changed when I met little “Raisu” about a couple of years ago in my neighbourhood. I met the little 5 or 6 years old Raisu for the first time, if my memory serves me well, at one bright and sunny afternoon when he was struggling to fix the “chain” of his bicycle that he was riding. But, after noticing him struggling for a minute, I decided to offer him help to fix his two-wheel ride. Anyway, I had seen Raisu a number of times before, but never really felt inclined to have a chat with him until that moment when he thanked me with a very happy face after fixing his cycle. I asked him about what he was going to do if nobody was there to fix his ride. In response, he simply told me that he would keep trying again and again until it was fixed.    Next, when I asked him if he had any friends, he simply told me that he was not allowed to have any friends of his age (ordered by his parents) because he would always get into fights with them. Our conversation pretty much ended at that point, but before leaving, I asked Raisu if he remembered how to fix his chain. In response, with a big smile on his face again, he said that he didn’t remember. I thought that the conversation with Raisu was really interesting because up until that conversation, I never knew that a child of that age could understand the virtue of trying again and again. It was also interesting because Raisu reminded me of sticking to the truth no matter how embarrassing it really was by revealing the truth to me about the reason for not having any friends. Finally, the conversation with Raisu taught me that it was ok to “forget” about things in life because life would go on one way or another.

Model Answer: I was always under the impression that the children can be “handful”
probably
because
I was never
good
with children,
especially
, when it came to striking a
conversation
with them or understanding their needs.
But
, all that
changed
when I met
little
Raisu
” about a couple of years ago in my
neighbourhood
.

I met the
little
5 or 6 years
old
Raisu
for the
first
time, if my memory serves me
well
, at one bright and sunny afternoon when he was struggling to
fix
the “chain” of his bicycle that he was riding.
But
, after noticing him struggling for a minute, I decided to offer him
help
to
fix
his two-wheel ride.
Anyway
, I had
seen
Raisu
a number of times
before
,
but
never
really
felt inclined to have a chat with him until that moment when he thanked me with a
very
happy face after fixing his cycle. I asked him about what he was going to do if nobody was there to
fix
his ride. In response, he
simply
told
me that he would
keep
trying
again
and
again
until it was
fixed
.
  
Next
, when I asked him if he had any friends, he
simply
told
me that he was not
allowed
to have any friends of his age (ordered by his parents)
because
he would always
get
into fights with them. Our
conversation
pretty much ended at that point,
but
before
leaving, I asked
Raisu
if he remembered how to
fix
his chain. In response, with a
big
smile on his face
again
, he said that he didn’t remember.

I
thought
that the
conversation
with
Raisu
was
really
interesting
because
up until that
conversation
, I never knew that a
child
of that age could understand the virtue of trying
again
and
again
. It was
also
interesting
because
Raisu
reminded me of sticking to the truth no matter how embarrassing it
really
was by revealing the truth to me about the reason for not having any friends.
Finally
, the
conversation
with
Raisu
taught me that it was ok to “forget” about things in life
because
life would go on one way or another.
