Model Answer :
Introduction : To be honest, risk plays a significant role in every person’s life because it not only increase the confidence level but motivates a person to do something new and challenging. I also experienced a situation when I helped a child by taking full risk.
What it was? It happened about two years ago. I went to Agra with my family to visit Taj Mahal; I travelled by train. The weather was very relaxed, and we all enjoyed very much by playing some games and eating some snacks which were prepared by my mother for the journey.
Why you took it? Suddenly I heard some noise, and I asked people what happened then one person told me that one child’s arm was stuck in the train gate. I said it to my family and also said to them that no one ready to help that child. But my cousin was willing to help him. I went with my cousin toward to the train door.
What the result was? I told that to pull the chain to stop the train by an unfortunate chain was not working. So it was so risky to help someone in the running train. But we did not give up and try our best. My cousin holds me very tight when I was helping the child. Firstly, I gave some water to the child and then decided to move his arm very carefully because if I did hurry a child might be injured.
How you felt about it? It took a half-hour to release the child arm from the train door. But I did it, and as a result, my cousin and I successfully released child without any injury.

I think young people may take the risk of physical activities because they can quickly recover if they get injured. On the other hand, if we talk about investment and finance-related things, older people are more capable than young ones so they may take the risk in that field.
