ANSWERS / RUBRICS
Question No.33:
Item Rubric (English) :
Sample Answer:
There are many incidents in a person’s life that can change his thoughts. I have also experienced the same feelings. I am a very good cricketer.
It's been very difficult for any bowler to out me. It made me proud as well. In such a final match, I was very confident about my win but I was out on
the first ball. I was shocked. The sense of failure made me angry and disappointed. Then I got up and realized that losing should not hurt you. A loss
can never define you or your abilities. Everyone loses in life but it's only bad when we don't get back up and try again. Losing builds your character
and makes you stronger. In the end, I decided to work harder for the surety of my success.
