Qustion number 2:-

Observe your elder sibling’s daily activities closely for a few days and
then write a brief and concise paragraph about his/her daily routine.
The paragraph must be both cohesive and coherent.

ANSWER:-

THE DAILY ROUTINE OF MY ELDER SIBLING

The daily routine of my elder sibling is a bit tough. As my elder sibling is

a woman and she is married too. Moreover, she is the mother of four
children. So it becomes really tough for her to manage her day to day
activities. But she is a woman of great strength.

All mothers are dedicated to their families. I am just amazed at my

sister’s devotion to her family. From dawn to late night she is an
epitome of selfless love, care and devotion to her family.

She wakes up early by 4:30 am and the first thing she does is to pray
after ablution. After that she gets busy in making breakfast and lunch
for her family.

She packs everyone’s tiffin box, water bottle etc. After her children go
to school, she never has the time to rest. Washing dishes, and
clothing, cleaning, dusting, ironing, buying vegetables and fruit
from the green grocer, etc. she is busy throughout the day. When
her children reach home, she serves them the lunch. After a little
rest in the afternoon, she makes tea and bakes cakes in the
evening. Then comes the night. Her husband comes home after
his day’s work. At that time too, she is busy making dinner for the
 family. She serves them dinner and makes sure everyone has
been satiated. Then again she is washing dishes, cleaning and
getting ready for her next day’s routine. After winding up the
day’s work, she sits for her dinner. Thus I have seen my elder
sister everyday enjoying the grind of chores and work for the sake
of her family.
