Describe an experience when you spent your time with a child
You should say:
-Who was it
-What did you do
-How did you feel
- To tell the truth, I am not a person who enjoys spending time with children, but sometimes even I have to babysit as many of my friends already have kids, I can’t say “NO” when they ask me for help.
- Last year there was one occasion that I remember like it was yesterday because it was a nightmarish experience. One morning, still I was still in bed when my friend called me.
- She asked me to look after her 3 year old daughter as she had some important event that she could not miss, but her babysitter told her in the morning that she could not come for some reason and my friend understood she wouldn’t find another one at such a short notice.
- What’s more, none of my friend’s relatives agreed to help out. I was about to say ‘no’, but she told me I was her last hope. And she said there was nobody else whom they could entrust their child to.
- At first, everything was more or less ok because I managed to keep the kid occupied for some time. We played Hide and Seek in the house, watched cartoons together, built towers out of blocks.
- Whoever builds the highest tower wins. I read Fairy Tales to her. Some hours later I started feeling like a slave because she demanded attention and refused to play on her own, but at some point I understood I was out of ideas for things to do.
- So she started crying. I felt terrible as things got out of hand and I didn’t know how to calm her down.
- You know, each hour felt like an eternity and I couldn’t wait for my friend to come back home. I was so exhausted that I had just enough energy left to drag myself to bed.
or
- I know many children, and I have spent time with many of them, but here I would like to
- talk about my niece, Jyoti, who is three years old.
- She is my cousin Somalis daughter, who lives in Canada.
- Last year my cousin spent a week with us, when she came to India in December.
- Jyoti is very cute and I just adore her. She is a very chubby child.
- When she smiles, she has dimples on both cheeks, which look very beautiful.
- I always feel like picking at her cheeks but she screams when anybody does so.
- She has curly hair and does not like getting her hair combed.
- I shared my room with my cousin and Jyoti.
- I am a very organized person and keep my room spic and span, but Jyoti loved to mess
- everything up.
- Normally I don’t like if anyone messes up my things but with Jyoti I didn’t mind at all.
- I would make sad faces, when she fiddled with my things, but she would look at me with
- her cute smile and dimples and then I would forget everything.
- She loved chocolates and candies and I had kept some in stock for her.
- She is only 3 years old but she really knows how to twist everyone around her little finger.
- It is sometimes very amusing to watch her small pranks.
