ANSWER:
I like to look at his Elder brother as a genuine. He is a hard worker; he believes nothing is ever handed to you so
you have to go get it. he worked hard to get to this point of his life and working even harder to get to the
successful and graduate part of his life. he cares more for some others than he does of himself but he has a huge
nonchalant attitude. He doesn’t really show anger or sadness much he always smiles because he is optimistic
about life. He looks at life as if something bad comes along, no need to dwell on it you can’t take it back so just
move-on and improve what you did wrong if it’s possible. He was taught to be caring and thoughtful; he wasn’t
taught anything else from anyone other than not to trust people. He is the odd ball of our family because he is
nothing like anyone. He can say he was also taught to believe in himself and never down himself because he can
accomplish anything. That is shown through his determination and hard work because if he didn’t believe in
himself, he wouldn’t try as hard. Last but not all, Humanistic approach sums up his personality a little more than

1
psychodynamic does because it involves nature vs. nurture and that kind of sums it up just saying that.
Environment and Heredity is kind of the main reasons of his attitudes and actions. In the article, Time-Limited
Psychodynamic Psychotherapy, Briggs conducts different forms of psychotherapy techniques to prove whether
things in an adolescent’s life effect different adolescents differently. His study was a success and proved that
many adolescents have different interpretations on the same issue. He read them off different problems and
wanted to see how they would interpret them. He used children in the age groups of 12-17 and it worked out. he
thinks that the different approaches can be brought together in some circumstances but in his case it doesn’t. His
personality makes more sense coming from the humanistic approach.

Q.4 Write an informal letter to your younger brother and advise him to refrain from smoking by
highlighting its hazardous effects on health.
ANSWER:
Dear Jameel,
I am writing this to you in order to help persuade you to quit smoking. You’ve said in the past that smoking is not
harming you, but just because you do not see the effects of it right now, does not mean it won’t hurt you in the
near future. Not only is it harming you, it’s also harming your friends and family. It does way more harm than you
can imagine, and I plan to tell you how it does. Smoking is harming you. All that smoke is going into your lungs
and damaging them. Not only does it damage your lungs, it goes into your bloodstream and spreads all throughout
your body, hurting almost every organ in your body. Your lungs, heart, brains, sexual organs, and more are all
damaged through smoking. Your lungs have an increased chance in getting lung cancer, your heart has an
increased chance in getting a heart attack, your brain has an increased chance in getting a stroke, and you have an
increased chance of having a terrible sexual life. You also have a chance of ruining your voice, your skin.

When you smoke, it leaves a terrible smell on you. Anybody can smell it from far away. It’s hard to associate with
someone that smells awful. That will cause your friends to be pushed away, and that feeling of your friends
leaving you is an awful feeling. It could also affect your friend’s health, because anybody that accepts the smoking
and hangs around you while you are smoking will no doubt get affected by second hand smoking. That is
extremely harmful as it is no different from smoking normally. That means not only do you affect yourself in a
negative way, you affect the people around you too. That’s extremely dangerous in every aspect, whether it be
social or health wise. This goes for your family too, especially at family outings or events, every time you decide
to take a break and smoke, you’re harming the relationship between your family and the health of them.
Therefore, it’s my sincere advice to leave smoking for your best.
Your loving sister,
X, Y, Z
