1. Describe something that you did with someone/ a group of people
You should say,
– What it was?
– Who you did it with?
– How long it took you to do this?
– And explain why you did it together?
When I was in school, I remember spending my lunch breaks with a group of friends feeding rabbits in our school garden. We would bring half a chapatti (that is “Indian bread”) from our lunch box and feed it to the rabbits. It was a great way to spend our lunch break, as we got to connect with these cute and voiceless creatures.
There were around six of us in the group, and we spent around 30 minutes feeding and playing with the rabbits. We enjoyed seeing the rabbits happily munching on the chapatti and interacting with us. The rabbits were always so gentle and friendly, and they seemed to appreciate the food that we gave them. Even when we were having a bad day, spending time with the rabbits always seemed to brighten our moods and make us feel better. Our lunchtime activity also taught us the value of responsibility and caring for animals.
We would make sure to pick up any leftover food and keep the garden clean for the rabbits. It was a small act of kindness, but it made a big impact on us and our relationship with these cute creatures. I did this activity with my friends from kindergarten until 7th grade, until my school changed. We were a close-knit group of friends who shared a love for animals, and this activity was something that we always looked forward to. We enjoyed spending time together, catching up on each other’s lives, and watching the rabbits.
Even though I no longer attend that school, I still miss that memory and my old school friends. It was a beautiful experience that brought us all closer together and taught us the value of kindness and compassion towards animals.

- How do you get along with your neighbors?

- Neighbors can help each other in various ways, such as watching over each other’s property when they’re away, lending a helping hand in times of need, sharing resources and knowledge, and creating a sense of community by organizing events or activities especially during events like Diwali, Lohri or New year celebration.
3. Do you think neighbors help each other more often in the countryside than in the city?
- It’s hard to say whether neighbors help each other more often in the countryside than in the city, as it can vary depending on the specific community and culture. However, in general, people in the countryside tend to have closer-knit communities, and neighbors may be more likely to help each other due to their proximity and shared way of life.

5. Do you think parents should teach children how to cooperate with others? How?
- Yes, I think it’s important for parents to teach children how to cooperate with others. One way parents can do this is by modeling cooperative behavior themselves and encouraging their children to work together with siblings or other family members. Parents can also involve their children in community activities or volunteer work, which can help them learn the importance of working together towards a common goal.
6. Do you think it’s important for children to learn about cooperation?
- Yes, I think it’s very important for children to learn about cooperation, as it is a critical skill for success in many aspects of life. Learning to work with others can help children develop better communication skills, build relationships, and succeed in team-oriented settings such as school, sports, and the workplace. Additionally, cooperation can help children develop empathy and a sense of responsibility towards others, which can lead to positive social development
