Task 2

Trust is a one of the most essential part of your life. Trust is important to people and to me. It is very hard for me to trust a person, trust is given to the person who keeps secrets, a person who you know for a long time, and who you know will never let you down. Some of the people you should trust the most is always your mom, dad or your siblings. In life you gain trust but you also lose trust. Sometime trust is what keeps us together.

Trust is very important to others like it is to me. Trust is something you have to earn it little by little. You have to know whom you can tell your secrets and whom you can count on, you can't tell everything to any random person or who you haven’t known from long time because they can tell others and at the end everyone will know. Trust is to believe in someone, have faith on him or her. Trust is important to me because I Know I can count on them and can tell them all my personal things.

One of the people I most have trust on is my cousin. Lets just say he gain my trust. He has never let me down. He always gives me advises, he listens to me and the most important thing he never tells my secrets to others it just between him and me. As the way I have trust on him, he as trust on me because I also keep promise and keep his secrets and I never let him on that now we stay together, we know we the trust one another and if one of us told one of your secrets to someone we should that when we lose the trust and will never be the same.

You can also lose trust towards other people. I always try my best to keep the trust with other people because you never know when you need them or they need you. So trust is a very important part of living. I always trust my family and they trust me because I never let them down and they never let me.

In conclusion, Trust is the key to life trust can break or patch up life and relationship with others. Trust is important in everyone’s life in any condition. I always maintain trust with people because it keeps my dignity and respect towards them. A great example for me is my dad if my dad asked his friend for signing on a blank piece of paper he actually will because my dad has maintain that rust toward him.

MY HOUSE

She was beautifully structured and architected by the designers.

because tears and laughs make up a family. I'm speechless to
explain her beauty because she was the banded queen of beauty.
Even though, if I was there i wouldn't be able to pay back what she
gave me because it was to much for me. Now, don't ask me how she
looked because it will make me look like lamebrain.
