only if you have participated). I was part of the organising committee for the
tech-fest which was a great success and our team stood first in the inter-
college quiz competition. However, these activities resulted in some decline
in my academic performance. I have several close friends in my college and

locality. They are good friends because we stay together and help each other
in studies. We do combined studies and help one another. For example, one

of my friends helped me in mathematics and I helped him in physics. We go
out for movies together and normally stay together. All teachers in my school
and college have been good. I have had very good relationships with them

and they too have a very positive view about me. My education is financed
through a bank loan which I am now repaying or which I want to repay
through my own earnings.

Sequence 3

This sequence is about family details and early home background. It is

believed that early home background has great impact on development of an
individual’s personality. The question will be somewhat similar to the
following:

“Now I will be interested to know about your family. You please tell me
about your parents, i.e. about your father and mother, their occupation, the
other members of your family like brother, sister, grandparents, etc. How do

you spend time together, your activities at home, whom do you approach for
help when you have problems or when you want to confide someone?
Normally, what are the activities in which you get involved with your family?

How do you meet your monetary requirements, i.e., how much money do you
need a month and how do you spend it? Who are your friends in your
neighbourhood and what social, cultural or other activities have you

undertaken in their company?”
