Model Answer:
The environment has become a very important issue lately for many people around the world as it has proved out to be affecting our life rather directly. In fact, I have seen many people in my country, who are being vocal about this problem, and Mr Rabada Qureshi seems to be one of them.
I have known Mr Rabada, living in the same neighbourhood as me, for almost 10 years as a “social activist”. However, I met him for the first time about 7/8 years ago when I visited him for some medical check-up and treatment. By the way, he is a Medical Doctor by profession, and a good one in that also. I also knew that he had involved himself in eradicating some social problems, like drug addiction and violence against women, by writing extensively on them on a number of local and national daily newspapers. But, I came to know how deeply he really cared about our environment, only when I visited him for some medical check-up and treatment about a few years ago at his chamber, as he lectured me for a good 5 minute about the negative effects of smoking on our environment.
By the way, I used to smoke heavily back then which caused the coughing. Of course, I already knew a little about the environmental problem and climate change issues of our planet, but I didn’t realize how close those problems really were to our own homes until I met Mr Rabada on that day. In fact, after visiting the doctor gentleman on that day, I started to quit smoking gradually and following his informative articles on environmental degradation in our areas on local newspapers.
I think that Mr Rabada genuinely cares about environment because I have seldom seen him these days, using his private vehicle to travel to his chamber, as he doesn’t want to pollute the air by using fossil fuel. I also think that he cares about the environment because he always encourages his patients to plant more tree whenever and wherever it is possible.
