Generally, I’m not so helpful person in other family as I prefer to stay in my room and doing something along when my mother do some housework or all my family clean house or fix something together. My mother complain and disapprove my attitude toward my family when they need help. However, I think I’m not as selfless as my mother think. Indeed, I can try to help people and to my family when I think I feel be helpful. For example, last time I involved in this kind of station when I help my family member. When my brother ask me for help to write his homework because of his problems, I try to help him as he was sick and doctor ordered him to lie shrouds the day had difficulty to help the book and to write in the notebook at the same time. Therefore, when he ask to find something that can keep the book right, I thought it can be more convenient for him to help the book himself and say loudly not from the task which he wants to keep and which I could write in the copy book simultaneously. Consequently, we did his tasks as I planned and it took 2 hours. Throughout the tasks we completed 4 passages which he must read and answer questions about it. It would be quite challenging for him to hold the book and the copy book at the same time while trying to concentrate on content of the passage. However, as we eliminate this challenge, we did all the tasks properly and he revised the notes I made at the end. I felt accomplished and helpful at the end as my brother was happy.

Generally, I'm not a very helpful person in my family as I prefer to stay in my room and do something while my mother does housework or my family cleans the house or fixes something together. My mother complains and disapproves of my attitude toward my family when they need help. However, I think I'm not as selfless as my mother thinks. Indeed, I can try to help people and my family when I feel I can be helpful. For example, the last time I was involved in this kind of situation was when I helped a family member. When my brother asked me for help with his homework because of his problems, I tried to help him as he was sick and the doctor ordered him to lie down. He had difficulty holding the book and writing in the notebook at the same time. Therefore, when he asked me to find something that could hold the book for him, I thought it would be more convenient for him to read the book himself and say aloud the task he wanted to keep, which I could write in the notebook simultaneously. Consequently, we completed his tasks as I planned, and it took two hours. Throughout the tasks, we completed four passages that he had to read and answer questions about. It would have been quite challenging for him to hold the book and the notebook at the same time while trying to concentrate on the content of the passage.
