: Sample Answer

In my opinion, my father is a person who has lots of responsibilities and he has a good quality of balancing these responsibilities with his daily life

First of all, he works in a government organisation and on an average he spends 9 hours a day in his office. Though I don’t know the details of his every job responsibility, I have a good idea of his duties and this is a tough job position to hold. He is responsible for maintaining the education sector of the town and every day he has to spend a busy time at his office. I have visited his office several times and always found him busy meeting with the teachers of different education institutes as well as other government officers

Besides his duty towards the country and the government, he maintains a family of 12 members. I have 3 siblings and two of my uncles live with us. My grandmother lives with us and my father is the only earning member of this big family. Apart from the expenses, he spends his time very wisely to keep in touch with all family members. He takes care of our education, balance nutrition and treatment. He is a hard working person and he does many of our family tasks

He is a social worker as well and often attends the community meetings. As a decision-making members of this welfare community society, he performs many works there as well

One of his greatest responsibilities is to take care of his mother and amazingly he is very good at it. Sometimes I wonder how come he can manage so many things so well!
In my opinion, my father is a good-hearted, hard working person who maintains an exemplary life with lots of duties and responsibilities
