Which person are you most likely to go to with a personal problem? Describe this person and say why you would go to him/her in particular.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mostly I like to share my personal problems with my wife. She is quite a sober and matured person. She possesses Masters Degree in Human Psychology and can handle any difficult situation very easily. She is very caring and loving. She specializes in Child Psychology and Behaviour too. It is by now 33 years since we got married. In the past many of my problems related to finance, health, social relations, business etc, she has always guided and helped me overcome those. Because of these qualities in my wife I would particularly like to go to her in the event of any problem. Needless to say discussing personal problems with strangers can be disastrous.

Summers are extremely hot, with the day time temperature being 46° C, and the night temperature being 32° C. Global Warming has further worsened the climatic condition here during summer. Gujarat, monsoon is generally hot and utterly humid. The temperature at day is 38° C but at night it falls down to 27° C.

Something that I enjoy with my family is watching Television shows. We prefer to watch live telecast of games and sports mainly Cricket and Tennis. In addition we prefer Laughter Shows that is a very good amusement after the day’s monotonous and tiring jobs. Also TV is a means of mass communication. It is a mode of information and entertainment too. So we get latest information through TV and can keep pace with the time. Besides there are many exclusive business channels that give minute-by-minute information on Stock Markets & the Business World. Educational, Training & Developmental programs aired on TV. These are pretty beneficial for the community and especially students. Many awareness programs on Health & Environment play very important role in our lives. Hence I prefer and enjoy watching TV Programs with my family.
