The Taximan's Story (questions)

Q1.The irony in the story is that young girls are fooling around, which includes the taximan's daughter. The taximan did not expect his daughter to be fooling around as her results in school were excellent.

Q2.The themes in the story are that we should be good children and not fool around like the girls in the story when we are still young.

Q3. The story is rather realistic, as nowadays, there is an increasing number of young students fooling around like what Dexter mentioned in his blog.

Q4.I think that the taximan is rather sociable as he told a stranger about his daughter and his personal problems. I sympathise for the taximan as he must be very angry to find out that his daughter was fooling around without his knowledge.

Q5.I do agree with the taximan's lamenting. We young people nowadays should be studying hard for exams instead of fooling around. Fooling around does not benefit us nor our parents. Our parents work hard to pay for our monthly school fees, pinning their hopes on us. We should not let them down by fooling around and not working hard.

Q6.I also sympathise for the taximan's wife. She as well as the taximan himself, would not have expected their daughter with excellent results in school to be fooling around behind their backs. The taximan's wife must be extremely upset and disappointed with her daughter.
