Model Answer 1

I am not an early bird and hence waking up early is a challenge for me. I guess these

days for most people it is really difficult to rise early. I faintly remember that I got

up early before a month or so. The reason why I was up at dawn because we had

planned to see the sunrise and have tea and snacks together on the lake.

A couple of my friends are cyclists and they ride long distances. One of them

proposed that we should start by 5.00 am in the morning and reach a sunrise point

on the cycle. I like to spend time with friends and so I agreed joyfully. I woke up at

five and got ready in 15 minutes. After that I made mint tea for all of us and filled it

in the thermos.

I checked my cycle for air and wheel alignment. Filled my water bottle, took my

sunglasses and helmet and was all set to go. I felt excited and energized. The

morning was beautiful and refreshing. It gave me a calm and a tranquil feeling. My

day was longer and more productive.

It was an unforgettable experience to witness the sunrise with my friends. That

morning was special and the experience was unique. I felt that I had wasted a lot of

time by waking up late and therefor I decided that now I will get out of my bed early

and see the sunrise at least once a month.

Introduction:
To be honest, I’m a person who stays awake till late at night but finds it really hard to get up early in the morning. But here I would share one incident when I had to get up quite early in the morning, in fact, 3 a.m.

When was it? and Why did you get up early?
What happened exactly that in last summer’s my family decided to go for a weekend trip to Shimla as the weather was really hot, so we decided to go to Shimla, which is a beautiful hill station and famous for its pleasant weather but my father decided to start this journey at 3 in the morning.

As soon as I heard it, my excitement turned into disappointment because I never wanted to get up that early in the morning anyhow. I had to get up just like other family members, we all got up at around 2 a.m., and we got ready for this journey.

What did you do after getting up?
in fact, I helped my mother pack the food and luggage, and we started our journey and sharp 3 a.m. My father made a good decision because we avoided travelling in the Sun during this time the temperature was quite low and we had a comfortable journey in our car.

Another thing that I must say is that there was hardly any recall on the road, so we covered the distance in much lesser time. We also avoided the peak hour traffic of major cities on the way.

How did you feel about it?
Our early start gave us extra time to spend in Shimla doing a variety of activities. Because of this journey, we did not get tired as well though being a night person, I was not willing to get up early.

Conclusion:
That day I realized the importance of getting up early or having an early start.

Model Answer 3

Getting up early is a good thing but usually, I get up late in the morning time due to my busy schedule as well as I go to bed late at night. Here I would like to talk about the time when I had to get up early in the morning. It was the time of my friend’s marriage. He lives in Mohali which is far away from my hometown. He is very close to me so he wanted me that time next to him. but due to my busy schedule, I was not able to go there before one day. Then, on the day of marriage, I had to wake up around 4’o clock in the morning so that I would reach there around 9’o clock. Primarily, I woke up and freshen up myself. Next, I dressed up well and rushed to Mohali by my car. Moreover, I faced a lot of difficulties during travelling like the traffic. I got fed up, fortunately, I reached there around 9.30 am. My friend was also angry with me then I told him the whole situation too, he understood me. Furthermore, he was looking very handsome in the groom dress. After some time, the marriage rituals got started which released all my tiredness. In the evening time, I came back to my home. I felt that getting up early is not an easy task but I think that if we have a habit of getting up early, it will be worthwhile for us.

Introduction:

  • I normally sleep late, sometimes even as late as 1 AM or 2 AM.
  • As a result, I mostly wake up late as well.

When was it? and Why did you get up early?

  • But recently I had to take an exam in Amritsar, which is about 100 kms from my hometown.
  • The exam time was also quite early from 9 AM to 12:30 AM.
  • I had two options, either I could have gone there one day in advance or I could have taken an early morning bus on the exam day.
  • I decided on the latter because I didn’t want to waste money on a hotel night stay.
  • So a few days before the exam, I started sleeping a bit early and getting up a bit earlier.

I think people who stay up late are generally those who like quiet and spending time with themselves. They feel that during the day, they get might disturbed, so they prefer staying up late and doing their work at night.
