: Model Answer

I love to play with children and most of the cases they also become fond of me. My neighbour, Mr. Samuel Richard, has a baby boy and I love to play with him

Samuel Junior is the child whom I adore most. The baby also loves me too much and when we are together, it becomes difficult to split us. I like to play with the child and when he laughs at me, it becomes the most enjoyable scene. Usually, the child sits on my lap and plays with me. Sometimes both of us make fun with water. I have a common swimming pool before my apartment complex and I take a bath with this kid, in fact, the baby waits every day to bath on the pool with me. We make lots of fun together. Moreover, when it is about watching television, the kids and I watch together and mostly we watch the episodes from Tom & Jerry cartoon series. Besides, when I am at home, the child moves with me like my shadow

The child lives with its parents just opposite to my apartment. I live in an apartment complex in Singapore city with my parents. My father bought the apartment around five years ago and my neighbour has bought his apartment in 2013. Since then, I am familiar with the child. Besides, both of the families share a great internal relation. Interestingly, in most of the times of the day, Samuel Junior- the child lives at our apartment. I think he finds it interesting to be with me always as I am a fun-loving boy. The intimacy between me and the boy is exceptional. When I return home from college, I knock at its apartment to bring it at my home and sometimes it comes in search of me and waits for me until my return. Sometimes I see that the child is sleeping on my bed and realise that the little fellow has fallen asleep after waiting for hours for my return. Then I wake him up and start making the fun

Samuel Junior is only five years old but he appears to be more intelligent that age. He owns a sharp sense of right and wrong but sometimes forgets those which appear more interesting to me. Sometimes the baby comes to me to learn and I teach him the alphabets, rhymes etc. Samuel is more attentive in studies than the other kids of his age. He is able to remember several rhymes together and likes to recite before everyone he meets. But few of his activities are a bit irritating to me like he does not want to get out of the swimming pool. Though he got cold several times for longer stay on the pool, he likes to be there. Finally, his parents have to take him out of the pool forcibly. I think the problem will be okay when he will grow up

When the child sees me, it becomes filled with joy. I am the only outsider who loves him unconditionally. I allow him to do all the menaces he wants and covers them up when he is in real trouble. I am like a friend of him and both of us plan to perform the unusual things. When he meets me in the morning, usually he wakes me up by pulling my hairs. Sometimes he throws water on me with his water gun that I bought him. He loves to play video games on a computer and I need to be with him there. When he dies or fails to do something on the video game, I am to make the things correct. I have never seen his dull face after meeting me. It appears that he is highly delighted with my company
