    Answer

    It Ends With Us is a book I read recently. It's by the author Colleen Hoare. It's mainly a story about two teenagers, Atlas and Lily, and how they just handle their life going through high school, adolescence, and just domestic violence at home. Both of them come from very, very different families. However, they have one common determining factor between them, which is domestic violence. The abuse that they've seen their moms go through is just insane, and they connect through that on a different level. They're actually in the same high school, but they never speak to each other until Atlas actually crashes into an empty house next to Lily's villa. When Atlas is homeless and he doesn't have anywhere to go, he just comes and breaks into the house next to Lily's, and Lily helps him with all the daily necessities like clothes and food, medicines and stuff. Furthermore, their friendship blossoms into love, but it doesn't really fructify as Atlas has to leave. This book really gave me a lot of knowledge about domestic abuse and how to deal with it.

    My mother is one of the energetic persons I have ever seen in my life. That is because she is like, she works 24x7 and still will be energetic throughout the day. So if in case if we go for some family functions or any occasions in society, when we come back we just end up getting so tired and we don't do much work. But still after coming back she is the one who do everything. And moreover whenever we feel low, like she never feels low. She is one of the most calmest person I have ever seen in my life. So she always gets, she always ends up getting energetic. She makes sure that everyone is happy in college. I have a friend called Cheran. I used to have a friend, his name is Cheran. So now we totally lost touch because life goes like, we are on different pages right now. I know him since my bachelors in engineering. So we studied in same college. We studied in same college. Back then when I was studying in my college, there was a person named Cheran. So he was one of my closest friends back then. So I know him since my bachelors in engineering. We are from the same stream, computer science. So that's how we know each other. So we were having a very huge gang back then. So he is one among those gang. So he is the best person I have ever seen. So he is the most energetic person in our group. He always makes sure that he makes everyone laugh. And whenever a situation comes like during exams, everyone of us will get so tensed. So he is the person who calms us every time and makes sure that we are not so tensed. And wherever he is, he makes everyone laugh. He just plays jokes and he just cracks jokes all the time. And he just makes sure people around him are smiling. Again, after college days, obviously we lost touch. So I feel bad about that because life is going on and people are getting busy in their day-to-day life after leaving college. So it's getting hard for us to meet. But yeah, he is the best person I have ever seen. He used to have a love story which went very long during college days. And he ended up with heartbreak. And then he stopped being energetic for a few days and later on, yeah, again.

    I know a lot of people who are energetic, but here I would like to talk about one person whom I knew and that is none other than my grandfather's friend. His name is Mr. John. He is a retired army officer, but then also he maintained his resume according to the things he had done in army. He is 70 years old, but he doesn't look like his age because he has maintained his age a lot. He always comes for morning and evening walk and whenever I have time to go out with my grandfather to have a walk in the vicinity of my park, I always look that person. He was doing different type of exercises and even teaching to other people, like it's really a motivation for everyone to see such a person who is an old and he is motivating others to do exercise, maintaining their physique. Nowadays, as everyone knew, they have a hectic schedule, so it is very difficult for each and every person. So, one of my friend had recommended that man to open his online classes in which he can teach others how to do yoga or different type of exercises, which he was taught in army. So, I think that is a very great thing that nowadays people can show their talent and skill. He is also energetic because he lives alone. His family, wife, children all live in other country, but he prefer to live here because he is very much, you know, very much stick with his roots. So, I think he wants to live here. He always, if he wants to go to the market, he always use bicycle and he thinks that it helps to maintain the holistic development of a person. So, he is the person who is very energetic.

    In my life, the most energetic person would be my dad. He wakes up early. He does his routine as planned. He always goes out and tries to do things like hiking, climbing and even running sometimes. He likes to maintain a diet to keep himself healthy and he always participates in dancing with us and family activities. So it's really nice to see someone who's so energetic lead my life. He's also my role model on how to be energetic. I would love to eventually be like him and I do go for a running daily. On my Sundays and Saturdays, I do enjoy going hiking with him. He is really inspiring in so many ways. He handles his life and his personal life and business life all together very well. He always goes out of his way to help his family and he's a really nice person overall.

    The most energetic person that I know is my wife, Rashaya Mundal. We met during college, 10 years ago. We got married 2 years ago. And I think she is the most energetic person because she has this incredible zeal for life, for activities. You know, she just can't stay still for 2 minutes. She always has to do something, something exciting, something invigorating. Like going out to see new places, going to parties, even going to a friend's house to chat. That includes an activity to her. She always has this really good energy about her, that she wants to do some kind of outdoor activity that feels energetic to me. And I would feel like, and I am the exact opposite of that. I am a very late get-back kind of person. I do not enjoy much activities as one should. Some people believe that I should work on that. Definitely I should. But yes, she is the exact opposite of me. And I feel that's a very good thing, which helps in a lot of aspects of daily life. Yeah, that's it.

    Band 6-7

    The most energetic person I know is my classmate. We have been in the same class for almost two years. At any time of the day or during any time you ask him anything to help you out or to do anything, he is always ready. Let it be in studies, sports, extracurricular activities or anything, he is always there first and he does his best. He is energetic almost the whole day. He did say to me that he is energetic most of the time because he has a fixed routine. He sleeps at 8 and wakes up at 4 and then at 4 his day starts. So that's why I think he is the most energetic person I know. He is the only person I have seen like that till now who is showing consistency in his routine. Anytime of the day you talk to him, he doesn't look tired, sick or anything.

    Band 6-7

    There are many types of people. Some are very energetic and some are very lazy. So today I am gonna describe a person, the most energetic person I know and that person would be none other than my own mother. I have known her since my birth and I can bet that she is the most energetic person I have ever come across. I believe so because she can do anything and at any given point of time. For instance, there were incidents when I had to go out with my friends and some of my dresses were not working, the zip was not working. So she immediately went to the tailor and got it fixed and she came right back. Another incident would be that I was feeling hungry and although she was very tired, I didn't know how to cook. She helped me by making me a meal. So I believe she is the most energetic person and she can perform any task at any given point of time. Moreover, I feel so much respect and love for her and I appreciate how strong of a woman she is. I believe that everybody should praise their mother and appreciate her while she does all the household chores as well. She is very efficient and she knows how to manage time and do various chores at once.
