3.

4.

5.

Before I talk about responsibilty, let tell you what I saw a few days ago.
At a overhead bridge, I saw two little kids. One was a 5 year old boy, while the other was like a 3-4 years old girl. They were struggling to get down the stairs mainly because they were young and too short to reach the handles of the stairs.My intial thought was that they were so excited to get home that they were way ahead of their parents. However, this was not the the case. "Mummy, mummy wait for me" I heard the little girl said. Only then did I realise that her mother was actually infront of them. She was metres away. She seemed to have heard her child's pleads, but she just ignored it as if she had something more impotant was on her mind. (What could be more important than the safety of her own children.) Not only did the little girl's cry for help not even affect her mother but also, it made her mother walk even quicker...

Gabriel, based on your thought of responsibility, i agree with you that we should have responsibility towards our things. We should not let our things go missing our dissapear. This is an act of irresponsibility. We should keep our things well and not by simply putting it anywhere, anywhere we like. Just like one day you have a cheque worth 100 million. You must have the responsibility to keep it well and not by puting it on a table which everyone can see. If you lost that cheque, you will surely hate yourself for being so careless. So, we must have responsibility towards our things. Thank you.
