Describe something useful you learned from a member of your family. v.1

Describe something useful you learned from a member of your family. v. 1
Describe something useful you learned from a member of your family. You Should Say: what you learned how this became useful later in your life whether you taught it to someone or not and explain why it was important for you. Follow-up Questions: Why should we learn from others? What is the importance of having friends?   Model Answer 1: I am blessed to have a very loving family, and I thank them from the very bottom of my heart for teaching me everything, which made me the person today I am. So, I am really glad that I am getting an opportunity today to talk about something useful which I learned from a member of my family. I used to live in an extended family, which included my old grandparents, parents, brothers and sisters along with my paternal uncles, aunts and cousins, where we all used to share pretty much everything with each other. I was the youngest member of my family. Anyway, as an extended family, my family members used to strictly follow some family codes, and one of those codes was that each of my family members, except me because of my young age, would try his or her best to donate a certain amount of money into a family fund. By the way, the arrangement of such family fund was made by none other than my old grandmother because she wanted to make sure that we all were able to deal with any kind of emergency financial situation. Anyway, it was at that time I learned the importance of saving up money even whether I was earning enough or not, and I carried this important lesson into my life from high school to university and then also to my professional life. In fact, this money-saving habit had allowed me to save up enough money to buy some good shares in the share market right after starting my new job about 10 years ago. Now, I am glad to say that I taught this valuable important life lesson also to my young wife and two of my younger cousins. Anyway, the lesson was important for me because it allowed me to understand the value of money if I really wanted to live a decent life. Besides, it was important for me also because it allowed me the liberty and satisfaction of exploring my true potential and worth as a positive and intelligent person.
