Male Female

Well, that's a really interesting question because I think I'm quite supportive, not only for my parents but also for my friends and relatives. However, the last time I helped someone was two or three years ago when my sister came to me to ask some questions about her English lessons. It seemed like she had some problems with understanding the text in English, so I realized that she was struggling with reading comprehension. As a result, I suggested some videos on YouTube and some techniques. I asked her to talk about her problems with clarity, and she did that. After two days, she felt better; she felt more skilled, and I think we have to help each other, especially when we are close. That's what I did, and I will definitely continue to do it because she is my sister, and whenever she feels like she has a problem, it seems like I have a problem too. As a result, I try to help her feel better, and when it comes to English, I generally have something to offer.
