Band 7 Answer

I remember sharing my books with my younger cousin last month. She needed some books for her school project, and I had extra copies at home. I felt happy and satisfied because I knew she would benefit from them. While giving her the books, we talked about the stories and ideas, which made the experience pleasant and enjoyable. I also shared some of my notes to help her understand the topics better. It felt good to help and support someone using things I already had. After that, she thanked me, and I felt proud and appreciated. Sharing my belongings made me realize that even small things can make a positive difference in someone else’s life.

Band 8 Answer

A memorable time when I shared something with others was when I donated my old clothes and books to a local charity. I had been cleaning my room and realized that many items were no longer useful to me but could help others. By giving these items, I felt a strong sense of satisfaction and fulfillment. The organization distributed them to children and families in need, which made the experience even more meaningful and rewarding. I also encouraged my friends to join and share their things, which created a collaborative and positive atmosphere. Sharing not only helped those in need but also taught me the value of generosity and empathy. I felt proud and motivated to continue such activities in the future. This experience reminded me that even small efforts can have a significant impact on others’ lives.
