Model Answer 1

One person who solved a problem in a smart way is none other than my mom. We

have a huge common plot in our locality. We had taken the place for a family

function. Lunch was arranged for almost 100 guests. There was a deal that we had

to vacate the plot before 4 pm and also clean it well. The problem was that the

cleaners did not turn up and we were in soup.

It was such a big place and there was no time and energy that we could do it

ourselves. The place was littered with spilled food and some flowers and leaves. My

mother solved this situation in a very intelligent manner. She asked me and my

brother attract all the cows of the locality to the plot. We did what she said.

To my pleasant surprise the cows ate away everything and the place looked cleaner

than what it was. The issue was tackled within no time and that too in such a smart

way. I think this was a smart solution because it was a win-win situation for all. The

cows got food and neither we had to pay anything extra to the cleaners and nor do

it ourselves.

It happened a long time ago and I was a child at that time. However, it was such an

amusing experience for me that I still think about it and enjoy the memories.

Sometimes, in life big problems have simple solutions. My mom the solved the

matter in an innovative and interesting way. She is a great problem solver.

Introduction:
Well, cleverness is something that one must have to deal with difficult situations in life. Though I’m not that cunning, but I feel lucky to have few clever friends who always make difficult things easy for me.

Who this person is?
Here I would like to talk about raj, my best friend from schooldays who always have clever solutions to my problems. Actually, I had to attend a reunion party last year, and I was really excited about it.

However, I got a little disappointed to read the invitation as it was a theme party which means I had to dress up according to the theme. Every guest had to dress up like a bollywood star to attend the party.

What the problem was?
Since I did not have a suitable dress to wear I had to buy one. I checked out multiple stores, but I couldn’t find anything that fits into my pocket. The dress that I especially liked was of James bond, but the price was too high. At this point, I got upset I was literally crying because I couldn’t attend the party to meet my friends.

Fortunately, my clever friend raj visited my place in the evening, and I discussed my problem with him. To hear my problem, he rather started laughing and said the problem could be solved within seconds.

How he/she solved it? and explain why you think he/ she did it in a smart way?
He took me to a fashion store where one can rent some of the most elegant dresses, and I never knew about it. I found the same dress at the store which I wanted to wear and rather than buying it I could rent it just for one Rs. 1000 for a day.

Conclusion:
I was on cloud nine, and I hugged my friend tightly for helping me out at the party. I was the centre of attraction, and it all happened just because my friends solved my problem.

Who is the person is?

• Last year one of my friends helped me to clear my exam. As we know, we all are suffering from pandemic problems, so th to shut down all educational services. 
• This decision was badly affected education. I filled a government exam last year, and I joined an institute for it, but I had to stay home due to the lockdown. 

What the problem was? and How he/she solved it?

• I was fresher so I could prepare for the exam by myself. 
• I shared this problem with my friends because they also filled the same exam. One of my friends decided to start internet classes. Luckily, some of my friends are very good at math, reasoning, and general knowledge, so each took responsibility to teach one subject.

Explain why you think he/ she did it in a smart way? and Conclusion:

My friends live in a different part of the city, and due to lockdown, the police did not permit them to move from one place to another. We all thanked her for giving an intelligent solution. 
• So in that way we solve the problem.

Model Answer 5

As we are moving from an old era to a technological era, there are many different people who are solving problems in a smart way, rather than a hard way. I would like to share my experience when the internet was emerging and people were aware of it.

Who the Person Is?

I still remember I was studying MBA and my friend and I were trailing the library for some books. As it was the day of the exam, there were limited books in the library and everyone had their heads in books. So it was rather tough to get the books. My friend and I were away from the college for 3 days and the library looked unfamiliar, because it looked half deserted without books.

When and Where Did the Person Help You?

After hours of strolling through the library, we still didn’t find books that we wanted for the examination and these books were not there in the market either. The librarian approached us and told us that she would help.

She gave us a very smart idea. She had told us that we were welcome to the library anytime and any day so that we could study. She was a good friend of ours and her computer had access to the internet and library pdfs.

Why Do You Think He/She is Smart?

We were very thankful to the librarian, because of her we topped the examination. If she didn’t approach us and gave us the smart learning tip, we would have not passed the examination. There was one more advantage to it, we could type our questions online, instead of roaming around the teacher who was usually packed with loads of students.

Conclusion

I would say that the internet is a smart way to learn things and has changed our lives completely. It has opened new ways to interact, learn and explore things. As time goes on, there are new things emerging from smart people and I think creativity will never die.

Model Answer 6

Describe a Person Who Solved a Problem in Smart Way Answer 

People believe that some people are book clever, while others are street smart. But, on occasion, I believe that street smart people are more useful than others. After all, it was the street smart individual who came up with a brilliant solution to a problem for me, and this is his street in a problem.

Who the Person Is?

I was once travelling from India to Singapore. It had many beautiful places and it was one of my dream destinations. Once I came across a place that was full of street-side people and people living in unhealthy conditions. One of the people, named Oliver, approached me from a stall and asked me to come and eat at his stall.

Personally, I liked junk food, but I kindly declined him and turned around to exit and go back to the hotel as it was dinner time, then I found out that I was not carrying my purse and I had left it in the hotel.

When and Where Did the Person Help You?

I thought he sensed my fear and told me not to worry. I felt a little relieved at this and told him that. He had told me not to worry and told me that the smart way to reach the hotel is by walking and he would personally drop me there. I first hesitated and then nodded hesitantly.

Why Do You Think He/She is Smart?

When we started to walk, he made sure there was a very good distance between us, so that I didn’t feel awkward and we were walking really fast. I was in a dilemma because the route was unknown to me. We took a turn in a deserted street and there were a lot of dogs which made me stop. Though I was not telling him what the problem was, he understood it quickly.

He was way smarter than I thought. He was carrying a meatloaf and called the dogs. The dogs headed towards the direction and then we ran at the end of the street, just to witness the hotel, right in front. I thanked him and the next day, went there to spend time there and created a video which helped the people there.

Conclusion

In any case, the solution was excellent and exceedingly ingenious, especially given our thought process. He had really saved me that day because he was a great human and a smart person who was ready for anything.

Describe a Person Who Solved a Problem in Smart Way Answer 

When a problem arises, the phrase “think outside the box” comes to mind, and while not everyone succeeds in coming up with a solution, there is one individual on this earth who never ceases to amaze me with his ingenuity and ability to solve even the most difficult situations. Anu is the name of my younger sister.

Who the Person Is?

Even though we’re sisters and have a strong relationship, my mother has always told us that we’re as different as two individuals can be. I’m a rather energetic person who tends to make snap decisions, whereas my sister is quite calm and normally solves problems in a level-headed manner, which is why she’s been a sort of saviour to me on several occasions.

Why Do You Think He/She is Smart?

There was a period in my life when I took the JEE mains entrance exam that I regard to be a watershed moment. And, like my mother, I have hypotension, or low blood pressure, which can lead to dizziness when I’m hungry or fatigued. In some situations, all I need is the sugar from a couple of candy bars to get back on my feet, but I’m a bit of a scatterbrain, so I generally forget to bring any.

Conclusion

On that day, as the examination date approached, I was so frightened that I couldn’t think straight and my hands began to shake. Suddenly, I discovered some tiny chocolate bars and toffees in my pocket, and they saved my life!

Finally, it was discovered that my sister had remembered to place some in my pocket for me in order to avoid this problem. She was extremely attentive and astute to undertake such a thing!
