Talk about the country you would like to visit.
I have heard much about the beauty of the East as well as the West, about the
wonderful islands in the Pacific and also in the Atlantic. In short, the whole world
seems to be full of beautiful places. The country that I would like to visit, however, is
the United States of America.
My knowledge of the United States of America is derived from the geography and
history books that I have read, the films that I have seen and the stories that I have
heard from people who have visited this country.
The United States of America is a vast country with a mixed population. People from
many different lands have come and settled here. This mixture of different races of
people with different customs, religions, cultures and abilities have created a nation
unique in history. Although this country has a very short history compared with that
of the other large countries in the world, it is an example to the world of how people
of different races could live together in peace and harmony. The exchange of ideas
among the people of so many racial origins here has contributed greatly to the
progress and prosperity of the nation. There are world famous scientists, doctors,
lawyers, engineers, teachers and politicians whose original homes were in many
different lands. The work of such men has made this country a wonderful land
indeed. The roads, buildings and cinemas here may be said to be the best in the
world. There are many places and things of interest such as Hollywood, the United
Nations building, Niagara Falls and the sky-scrapers. Even the natural vegetation
and features are rich in variety. If one travels across the land, one will find different
kinds of scenery in different places. Further, as the people here still follow their
original customs and traditions, one will also have the feeling that one is passing
through many different countries.
The people of the United States are proud of their country, for it was their country
that gave the modern world ideas of freedom. The name of Abraham Lincoln will
always be remembered by those who believe in the freedom of men. It was the
United States, again, who saved the world from destruction in two world wars. Such
a country must be a wonderful land, and it is for this reason that I would like to visit
this country some day.

Thus I am surrounded by beauty and peace.
Do you think that “Honesty is the best policy”?
This is an old and often repeated proverb, but it is true? It has a suspiciously
worldly flavor, for it means that from a worldly point of view it pays to have
honesty. Now a man of complete honesty will not ask whether honesty pays or not.
He feels he must be honest, even if honesty brings him loss or suffering, simply
because it is right to be honest and wrong to be dishonest. This proverb is therefore
of little use to people of sincere honesty: it is really meant only for those
unprincipled men who will be honest only if honesty pays, and will be dishonest if
they think honesty will pay them worse.
Probably honesty does pay in the long run. In business, for example, a man who
deals straight forwardly with the pubic, who sells at fair prices, who gives good
quality, and can be relied upon not to cheat, will generally establish a reputation that
will be a fine business asset. People will be glad to deal with him; and though he may
not make a fortune he will have a sound and satisfactory business.
On the other hand, there is no doubt that success is often due to trickery, and great
fortunes have been built up upon dishonesty. Too many successful rogues have
proved by experience that for them dishonesty had been the best policy. Of course
some of these people come to a bad end, and lose all they have gained by their lies;
but many maintain their worldly success is more due to ability, lucky opportunities,
and business cunning, than to honesty.
And many examples could be given of men who, from a worldly point of view, have
failed because they have scrupulous honesty. A martyr who prefers to be burned at
the stake rather than say what he believes to be false, may be a hero; but in the eyes
of a worldly man, who thinks only of worldly success, he is a sad failure.
But if we look at such cases from the spiritual point of view – if we consider that
truth and righteousness are far more important than wealth and rank and
prosperity – then, in the highest sense, honesty is the best policy in the end. “For

He takes great trouble in correcting papers, and is very strict in giving marks. In the
classroom, he always keeps the dignity of a teacher.
But outside the classroom, he becomes the student’s best friend. He is an adviser to the
clubs organized by the students, and also helps them manage their sport teams. When a
student is in trouble, he comforts him and tries to help the latter solve any problems he
may have.
A good teacher should not only mind the academical work of his students but should also
encourage them to take part in sports and games so as to keep themselves fit. He always
sets a good example himself so as to influence his students.
He keeps in touch not only with his students but with their families as well. The purpose
in doing so is to obtain the assistance of parents in educating the students. He tries to learn
about the family condition of the students. Those whose family conditions are good, he
urges them to study hard in order to further their study in the universities but those who
have no means to carry on their study at a higher level, he advises to switch over to other
branches such as: commercial course, business school, military career, and so forth. He
thus increases the efficiency of their work, and guides them at the appropriate moment in
their choice of a profession.
The teaching profession has many responsibilities, yet it is full of hardship. Personally,
when I am grown up, I will engage in educational activities that is, I shall be a teacher
myself, for education is full of life. The students you teach are like fruit-trees you plant. It
is very interesting to plant seed and to see it sprout, grow leaves, put forth flowers and
bear fruits. In like manner, it is a great spiritual comfort to think that you are contributing
an important and useful part to the future of your country. For this reason, I find the work
of teachers both interesting and hopeful and I will become ideal teacher so as to lend the
younger generation on the path of knowledge.
Talk about rainy season
When the grass dry, the trees have lost their leaves, the rivers have very little water in
them and the fields are parched, everyone prays for the coming of rain. But when it
continues to rain for several days, there are prayers everywhere for the rain to stop, for
heavy and continuous rain often causes great hardship to many people, especially in the

creatures, plants, birds and land features that exist in the world. We know that there are
millions of creatures, small and large, of various kinds in all parts of the earth. We also
know that many of the early creatures have now become extinct, while many of them
have changed from their original forms. Reading about all these is indeed very interesting.
We also learn about the various types of plants and birds that exist throughout the world.
The plants and birds in the cold lands are not the same as those in warmer lands. In the
same way, the land forms in the cold regions are different from those in other regions. In
the equatorial regions, for example, plant and animal life is luxuriant, while in the poles
the land is covered with snow, and animal and plant life is less abundant. In equatorial
regions abundant rain has produced large rivers and lakes, while in areas where little rain
falls there are large deserts without many rivers and lakes.
As the climate and vegetation of one place are not the same as those of another, the habits
and activities of the people of different regions are also different. Even their religious
convictions and languages are different from those of other parts of the world.
Thus, Geography is a very important subject, and because of its width and variety it is one
of the most interesting subjects to read.
Importance of good roads in a country
Talk about the importance of good roads in a country
Good roads are essential for the development of a country. The Romans realized this
centuries ago. Wherever they established themselves, they tried to improve the roads
there. Today, the governments of all countries in the world are building more and more
roads to gain access to the remotest regions of their countries.
Roads link towns and villages and enable the people of one place to communicate with
the people of another place. When food is scarce in one place, it can be brought from
another place without much difficulty. Even things which cannot be produced in one
region can be brought from another region where they are produced in abundance. The
invention of motor-vehicles has made it easy to transport goods from place to place.
These vehicles, however, require good roads to travel faster. The better the roads are, the
more goods can be transported from place to place. Thus, trade is improved.
Further, good roads help people to travel easily to places where they can work and to

and tied the raft to a tree.
On the next day, we went out to catch some crabs and fish. We used the net that we had
bought and caught a lot of fish. Then, we had our lunch and went out again on the raft.
We continued to row it as far as we could. It was really a pleasure to be away from the
shore. The sea was calm and we could row with ease. My cousin told me many interesting
things about Morib. We then returned to the shore.
In this way, I spent my holidays happily at Morib, a place I shall never forget.
Water is important to all living things
"Water is important to all living things". Do you agree or disagree? Give reasons for
your opinion.
“Water is important to all living things”. Do you agree or disagree? Give reasons for your
opinion
Without water no living thing on the earth could survive. We need water to quench our
thirst, water our lands to grow crops or to keep the animals and fowls in our homes alive.
Even the plants and insects in all parts of the world need water to live.
We also need water to produce electricity and to carry out goods or trade. Electricity is
very important for our comforts today. Almost everything that we use in our homes today
depends on the use of electricity. In the same way, water also helps to transport many or
the goods that we need for our homes. Ships, rafts and boats carry many things from
distant lands and help to exchange goods between one country and another. Transport by
water is easier and cheaper than by air or land.
But water has also caused sorrow and hardship in all parts of the world. Floods and heavy
rains have destroyed crops, lives and property through the centuries and caused much
sorrow everywhere.
Yet, water is so important that all living things, including the tiniest creatures, will
continue to struggle to get it whenever or wherever they can.

How do I get my stamps? I have never bought a single one from a shop so my
collection has really cost me nothing. My father, who works in a big office, sometimes
brings me home stamps from many countries of the world. And I have friends both here
and in other lands who send me stamps in return for ones which I send to them.
Now that I am working for my living, I do not have as much time as before to spend on
my stamps. But in the evenings, what can be better than to sit down at a table with my
precious books, arranging new stamps in them, writing in the names of countries, or, if I
am too tired, only looking through the stamps already in the books? Each stamp has a
story to tell me of far countries and strange peoples. I see pictures of men and women,
birds and animals that I have never seen. Kings and presidents pass before my eyes, and I
can follow the history of nations I can see Hitler's Germany spreading over Europe and
then suddenly breaking into pieces; Pakistan is born before my eyes; countries rise and
countries fall - and the whole time I remain comfortably in my armchair at home.
But my stamp collection does not make me think only of the past. Just as my mother
collected for me, so I, too, am collecting for my future child. What better way will there
be of interesting him in history, geography and languages, and of making these subjects
live for him instead of being only things in school books? If I pass my hobby on to him,
he will bless me for it as I have blessed my mother for her wise action.
Life in the city
Life in the city
Life in the city is full of activity. Early in the morning hundreds of people rush out of
their homes in the manner ants do when their nest is broken. Soon the streets are full of
traffic. Shops and offices open, students flock to their schools and the day's work begins.
The city now throb with activity, and it is full of noise. Hundreds of sight-seers tourists
and others visit many place of interest in the city while businessmen from various parts of
the world arrive to transact business.
The towards evening, the offices and day schools begin to close. Many of the shops too
close. There is now a rush for buses and other means of transport. Everyone seems to be
in a hurry to reach home. As a result of this rush, many
accidents occur. One who has not been to the city before finds it hard to move about at

more study. The student goes through references and acquires more and better knowledge.
The world of knowledge is so wide that the class alone cannot bring everything into the
grasp of the student. So the student must take up some initiative of his own. This is one of
the purposes of homework.
The school also must see that the students are overburdened homework. The teachers
must see to it that the homework is distributed evenly throughout the week. Still there are
subjects like mathematics or transcription in the lower classes which require daily
attention. There are other aspects of school work which can be attended to during the
weekend, for example, map making and drawing diagrams.
Simply because some boys find homework too much to cope up with, it cannot be
abolished. The school should provide some facilities, so that the boys can conveniently
attend to their home work and the teachers can come willingly forward to help such boys.
One activity to do in spare time (watching television) Give one of the activities you

Watching television is one of the activities I like to do in my spare time. I enjoy watching
cartoons on Saturday mornings and sports programs on Sunday afternoons. I also watch
television during the week after I have finished all my school work. At night, I especially
like to watch movies and situation comedies. If I have a lot of homework, I try to arrange
my schedule so that I can watch at least one of my favorite shows. Watching television is
not the only activity that I do in my spare time. My other favorite activities are making
paper flowers and going shopping with my friends. However, when I have spare time, I
spend more time watching television than any other activities. Watching television can
help me not only relax but also build me a huge knowledge of the open world.

Importance of reading newspaper
The importance of reading newspaper.
As the name suggests newspapers are a source of news and information. In several
respects they are also a medium of communication among the peoples of the world.
Today there are hundreds of newspapers all over the world. Everywhere there is a keen
desire to learn more and more about the affairs of the world. This is partly the result of the
spread of education which sharpens one’s curiosity to learn about distant lands.
As a source of news, the newspaper is almost indispensable to those whose thirst for
knowledge is insatiable. They contain news on events in distant corners of the earth.
Information about such events arrives almost immediately. As a result, people everywhere
are informed about the most important event in the world very quickly and almost at the
same time. For example, if a war breaks out in one part of the world today, the people in
the other parts will certainly come to know about it tomorrow. As a result, all the
countries of the world are able to do something quickly to help those who have suffered
because of the war or to persuade the countries at war to cease fighting.
Newspaper also play an important part in keeping the people of the world informed about
the troubles that might arise in the future, if nothing is done to prevent them from
happening. For example, if a dispute arises between the two countries for any reason, the
newspapers can keep the people of the world informed about what might happen if
nothing is done to persuade the two countries to resolve their differences peacefully.
In this way many wars have been avoided because of the intervention of some countries
in the disputes of many countries which were given prominence in newspapers.
When all this is considered, we feel that there is some silent communication among
