in order to symbolize wealth and prosperity for the coming year. It is also common for elders
to present red packets to unmanned members of the Family. Envelopes are not to be opened
until the recipient has left the home of the giver.
10-We all need help at times in our lives. Sometimes we may have accidents and we may get
hurt When we are injured or suddenly become unwell, we need someone to help us – someone

comprising simple medical techniques, is most critical to the victims and is, often, life saving.

12-Stop the bleeding: Minor cuts and scrapes usually stop bleeding on their own. If they don’t,
apply gentle pressure with a clean cloth or bandage. Hold the pressure continuously for 20 to
30 seconds and if possible elevate the wound. Don’t keep checking to see if the bleeding has
stopped because this may damage or dislodge the clot that is forming and cause bleeding to
resume.
13-Clean the wound: Rinse out the wound with clean water. To clean the area around the
wound, use soap and a washcloth. But soap can irritate the wound, so try to keep it out of the
actual wound. If dirt or debris remains in the wound after washing, use seizers cleaned with
alcohol to remove the particles. If debris still remains, see your doctor.
14-Newspapers do not require us to sit at a place and read the news Busy people may read the
papers anytime of the day. They may read the news that is important to them early in the
morning, and carry the paper with them to read in the bus or van. They may also choose to omit
certain aspects of the news that they are not interested in.
15-Television, on the other hand, requires its viewers to be at a certain place, at a certain time
in order to watch and listen to the news. If they are busy people, they will miss the news. They
cannot choose to read it on the move or throughout the day. They cannot even choose which
piece of news they wish to skip. One way could be to record it and watch it later.
16-Television brings laziness in us. We can view the news with a little or no effort since it is
practically a form of entertainment. If we have the leisure time, we can view the television
news anytime of the day and night. It broadcasts the news as it is happening. Much mastery of
language is not necessary for the person who prefers to view the news on television because
everything is visual and auditory.
17-Today, life has become more dynamic and innovative. Gone are the days when the medical
and engineering fields were the only available choices. Now a whole world of non-traditional
careers, from IT, electronic media and web Networking to online business portals and fashion
designing, are available for young people.
18-The scope of any field in terms of market demand should also be considered very seriously.
We cannot practically deny the significance of hiring trends, for example, a decade ago when
computer science professionals were in demand, masses of MCS (Master of Computer Science)
students flooded the market with extremely disappointing results.
19-Literature is the story of humans, it is the record of who we are, where we come from and
where we are going. Books make us travel at large. During our journey, we are connected with
humanity. We identify ourselves with the characters we meet and learn whether we love, loathe,
fear, or flatter. They help us comprehend our faults and aspirations. They tell us who could we
become if we are not careful. Reading provides the deepest connection to the morals that make
us human, and part of a larger society.
20-Books are a source of comfort for us. They are a safe shelter. Throughout human history
man has found peace in the written works. Books are bridges through there pages we make our
contact with society. Those who read more are better prepared to face the world than those who
don’t read.
21-It is important we work to give every person the opportunity to enjoy books as shelters,
sustenance, and roads forward. To imagine a world without books is to imagine a world without
through, feeling, compassion, history, or voice.

22-In London, Pip studied hard. He received money regularly but he did not know where or
who it came from. He lived in a flat with a young man who had little money but who worked
for an insurance agent. They became friends. After some years, Pip was visited by the prisoner
whom he had helped as a child.
23-The man had been sent with other convicts to Australia and had become a very wealthy
farmer there. In fact, he was the one that Pip’s allowance came from. He wanted Pip to have
the advantages of education and money although he was not a gentleman himself. Actually, he
was still wanted by the police in England.
24-Pip and his friend decided that London was too dangerous for the wanted man. They
thought that Pip should take him abroad. As they attempted to board a ship, he was caught by
the police. At his trial in court, he was sentenced to death by the judge. Before he could be
hanged, he died in prison.
25-By law, all his money belonged to the government. So Pip had to find a job to support
himself. He became a clerk in His friend’s office. Years later, he became part owner of the
insurance firm. So, he had a successful career as a result of his own efforts and not because of
the fortune that he had been promised.
26-Water is another critical item for all crops. Massive amount of water is required during
the growing season for cultivation. In fact, agricultural production consumes more fresh water
than any other human activity. In many countries, people are facing shortage of fresh water.
Competition for water resources among individuals, regions, and countries and associated
human activities is already occurring with the current world population.
27-Water resources, critical for irrigation, are under great stress as populous cities, states, and
countries require and withdraw more water from rivers, lakes, and aquifers every year. A major
threat to maintaining flute water supplies is the continuing over-use of surface and ground
water resources.
28-Fossil energy is another prime resource used for food production. Nearly 80 per cent of
the world’s fossil energy is being used by the developed countries. The intensive farming
technologies of the developed countries use massive amounts of fossil energy for fertilizers,
pesticides, irrigation, and for machines as a substitute for human labour.
29-Strategies for the future must be based on the conservation and careful management of
land, water, energy, and Biological resources needed for food production. Yet none of these
measures will be sufficient to ensure adequate food supplies for future generations unless the
growth in the human population is simultaneously curtailed
30-Once Hazrat Umar, sitting in the Mosque of the Holy Prophet, was busy in the affairs of
the state. Two young men, holding a strong and sturdy countryman, appeared before him. They
complained to Hazrat Umar that the person had murdered their old father They demanded
justice by punishing the murderer for his crime.
31-The old man, on seeing this, hurled a stone at the camel with all his might. The stone caught
the camel on the camel on the side of the head. It reeled and fell down dead. The camel was
very dear to me. Could not control my anger, so took the same stone that had killed my dear
camel and hurled it at the old man with all my strength.
32-The third day dawned. The accusers and the surety were present at the Mosque of the
Holy Prophet. They were waiting for the criminal. As time passed, Sahabah felt anxious for the

fate of Hazrat Abuzar Ghaffari. When only an hour remained, both the accusers came forward
and demanded Hazrat Abuzar Ghaffari their man.
33-When the whole court was in a worried state of mind, the villager reached there perspiring
from head to foot. As he entered, he saluted the Caliph and said, Allah be praised for his mercy
was able to make my uncle trustee of the gold. As you see am right in time, do not delay the
execution.
34-On hearing these words, the Court gave cries of joy and applause and the face of the Caliph
beamed with pleasure as he said, “ Young men, the blood money will be paid to you form the
Peoples Treasury, and Allah will reward you for this goodness on the Day of Judgment.”

8-Allama Muhammad Iqbal / Our National Hero / My Favourite Poet
Allama Iqbal is my favourite poet. He was born in Sialkot in 1877. He got his early
education from Mir Hasan. He passed his F.A. from Murray College, Sialkot. Then he got
admission to Government College, Lahore. There, he was impressed by Professor Arnold.
After doing his M.A., he went to England. There he studied law. He did his Ph.D. from
Germany.
He started practice as a lawyer. But soon he left it. He started taking interest in writing
poetry. His poems please both the young and the old. They give us message of hope and
success. Seeing the Muslims in misery, he was very pained. He has expressed the same sorrow
in his couplets. He incited the Muslims with his verses. He gave them the idea of a separate
homeland.
At that time, people called it the dream of a mad person. But Quaid-e-Azam changed it into
a reality. The philosophy of self-realization is the gist of his poetry. He awoke the sleeping
nation. He reminded them of their glorious past. He died on April 21, 1938. But his poetry has
made him immortal. He is buried near the Badshahi Masjid in Lahore. His poetry is fresh even
today. He is our national poet and hero. I’m proud of him.

10-Sports And Games
Health is wealth. A sound mind in sound body. Loss of health is loss of wealth. Sports and
games are necessary to maintain good health. They are as important as food grains and fresh
water. They keep us active, alert and smart. They enable us to perform the duties of life. The
developed countries attach great importance to sports and games.
They consider it an essential part of education. The lesson in the classroom does not have
as deep effect on the character as that is learnt in the playground. The lesson in the classroom
is theoretical. The lesson learnt in the playground is practical. Sports and games build up the
character of the young students. They make them active, helpful and trustworthy.
The students learn endurance, courage, loyalty and sacrifice. General sports include hunting,
fishing, riding, cycling, boating, football, hockey, cricket, tennis and badminton. Therefore, a
number of schools hold athletic contests. They also hold games like football, hockey, cricket,
tennis, badminton and volleyball.
11-An Accident / A Road Accident
Last year, I was to go to Murree. I reached the bus stop early in the morning. The bus came
soon. I boarded it and started for Murree. The bus was running speedily. Suddenly a truck came
from opposite side. Its driver tried to save a dog running on the road.
He lost control over the steering. The truck collided against the bus. The truck fell down on
the road side. The bus fell into a ditch. I fell on the ground outside the bus. I was senseless.
When I came to my senses. I saw a horrible scene. Both the drivers had died on the spot. Ten
passengers were seriously injured. All the others were also injured.
But they were out of danger. There was great weeping and crying. It was a horrible scene.
Everyone had tears in his eyes. Soon, the police reached. They shifted the injured to the
hospital. Then, they began to record the statements of other passengers. I changed my
programme and returned home. It was an unpleasant day of my life.
12-A House On Fire
Last month, I happened to witness a house on fire. It was a very tragic scene. I shall never
forget it. I was coming back from school. When I was only a few yards from my house, I heard
some people crying “Fire! Fire!” I rushed to the place from where the noise was coming. The
upper storey of a house was on fire.
A large number of people had gathered there. They were throwing water to put out the fire.
Some were bringing out the valuables. The inmates were weeping and crying for help. I also
began to throw water on the fire. In the meantime, the fire brigade reached there. The fire
fighters began to throw water on fire by means of their hoses.
It was put out after an hour. There was no loss of life. The curtains, furniture, carpets,
wooden doors and windows were burnt to ashes. We shifted those people to tents set by the
Government. I returned home very sad.

Last Sunday, we decided to visit the hill near Lahore. Both sides of the road were covered
with beautiful scenery. There were tall pine trees on the hills. The air was refreshing. The
turnings were very risky. The roads were very narrow. We feared as well as enjoyed. Our
friend Ali was already there to receive us.
Then we visited the Badshahi Masjid. We hired a bus and reached the Lahore. It is to the
other side of the River Ravi. It is 6 km from Lahore. The beautiful gate with arches is seen
from a distance. We crossed the gate. We entered the courtyard.
The tomb is built on an elevated terrace. A fountain is built in front of it. There are groves
of mango trees there. They spread cool shade. The inner scene is very charming. It is built of
coloured marble. There are coloured designs on the walls. There are four minarets of the
Masjid. We climbed up a minaret. We had a bird’s eye view of the city of Lahore.
Then evening fell. We had got dead tired. So we returned home. We were very happy. We
had enjoyed much. It was the happiest day of my life.
14-Morning Walk
Morning walk is very good for health. It is cure of many diseases. It keeps us healthy and
strong. We can work better than others. We can achieve success in life. I am also very fond of
morning walk. I get up early in the morning. I to go the Masjid and offer prayers. My friend
Rizwan also joins me. Then we go out for a walk. We usually go to the Shalamar Gardens. We
go there on foot.
Many other people also come there. We enjoy cool breeze. The calm atmosphere affects us.
People run in groups and take exercise. We also form a group and run about. We breathe fresh
air.
Then we walk on the grassy plots and around the flowers-beds. We pass by the branches of
the tree. The fresh air and chirping of the birds cast a spell over us. The flower-laiden branches
add more to our enjoyment. In the meantime, people begin to return. So we also come back
home to go to university.
15-Life In A Big Cities
There is a great difference between rural and urban life. We know that a picture has a bright
as well as dark side. Life in a big city also has merits and demerits. Life in a big city is very
fast. It is full of the amenities of the modern age.
It is very comfortable and attractive. All the facilities of life are available to the people.
People living in a big city are active and smart. They enjoy, medical facilities. There are
schools, colleges and universities.
There are public libraries. There are big parks, cinema houses, theatres, coffee-houses,
clubs, hotels, gardens and restaurants. In the evening, people go there and enjoy life fully. There
is no problem of communication and transportation. Fruits, vegetables and meat are available
all the time. The shops and hotels remain open till late at night.
So there is no problem of buying edibles. People have access to everything. In the morning,
there is hustle and bustle of life. Everyone is dressed in neat and clean clothes. Everyone looks
happy and gay. That is everyone is attracted to the big cities.

Life in a village is very simple and peaceful. A village is made up of farm houses, mud-
house, uneven dirty lanes and ponds. There is no noise of buses, factories or mills. The villagers
live very close to nature. They enjoy fresh air. They are healthy in the true sense. They are
active and smart. They enjoy blooming flowers, fragrant air, rising and setting sun.
The villagers are very brave and hardworking. They get up early in the morning, offer
prayers and go to their fields. They work very hard to earn their living. They spend the whole
day in the fields. The harvest time is very busy. Men, women and children work together at
seed and harvest time. They eat their lunch in the fields. They return to their homes in the
evening.
The villagers eat pure food. They drink sugar-cane juice and curd-juice. They use fresh
vegetables and fruits, pure milk and butter. So, they enjoy good health. The streets of a village
are narrow. The houses are built of mud. There is no drainage system. Men and animals live in
the same room at night. There is no water system. Women carry water from wells. Still, its
merits are greater than its demerits.
17-Health
“Health is wealth.” A healthy body has a healthy mind. We should take care of our health.
We must go to bed early and rise early. We should take meals at regular hours. We should take
exercise daily. We must keep our body clean. We should wear neat and clean clothes. We
should keep our nails clean. We should brush our teeth daily. We must be sure that it makes a
man healthy, wealthy and wise. It makes man active, alert and smart.
If we fall ill, we should consult the doctor at once. We should keep a balance in work, game
and rest. We should eat fresh air daily. We should avoid smoking and cold drinks. Less food
and more fruit is best for health. It is a fact:
“Health is not valued till sickness comes.”
Only the healthy people can work properly. They lead the nation to heights. They break new
grounds. They make new discoveries. If health breaks down, we can do nothing. A sick person
is a burden on himself and others. A healthy person spreads happiness everywhere. It is rightly
said:
“A sound mind in sound body.”
17-Courtesy
Courtesy means to have good and polite manners. It works well in all walks of life. Doing
one’s duty in a consummate manner displays courtesy. It springs from kindness. A courteous
person has good wishes and polite manners for others. He has love, kindness and patience to
others. That is why; it is said: “Civility costs nothing.”
Courtesy is a sacred emotion. It demands us to be polite and kind in every field of life.
Courtesy pays a lot both worldly and spiritually. We should be kind to the poor, the helpless,
the eelderl people, the blind, the sick, the lame and the young. The Holy Prophet was very kind
to all. The Holy Quran asks us to be courteous.
When we meet others, we should convey the words of “Salaam” and good wishes. Courtesy
spreads love. It wins others’ hearts. It makes us true Muslims. Courtesy builds the character of
a nation. It makes people loving and kind-hearted. It creates patience. It spreads love. It brings
about happiness. So we should meet others with a smiling face. It makes every day life pleasant.

The other day, I went to the railway station to see off my friend. We bought tickets and went
to the platform. It was crowded with men, women and children. Some were staying close to
their luggage. Some others were walking about. The aged people were sitting. There was great
rush and noise.
There were different stalls at the platform. Meals, fruits, books and magazines were selling
like hot cakes. People were perspiring. Everyone wanted to stay closer to the fan. There was a
great rush of people near the water coolers and taps.
Soon the train steamed in. People rushed to it. Everyone wanted to board it first. Some
passengers were trying to get down. It was making a great noise. The vendors and fruit sellers
were crying to attract the people. The porters in red shirts were helping the passengers. Soon
the guard whistled. Then he waved the green flag. Then the train steamed off. People began to
go back.
19-Libraries
Getting knowledge is compulsory to every Muslim. For we need books. Everybody cannot
buy all the books. The libraries provide books on every topic. Libraries are a store-house of
knowledge. They are a collection of books on various topics. They create love for knowledge.
They polish man’s faculties. They bring about progress of a nation. They are asset of man.
They make us real men. They are essential for every student.
Libraries play important role in creating and satisfying thirst for knowledge. Every lover of
books can go to the library and quench his thirst . Libraries provide knowledge on current
affairs. A politician can find books of his own choice.
A businessman can study the methods of running a business. A student can enlarge his
knowledge and pass the examination with good marks. The reading rooms create a sense of
discipline, research, inquiry and fellowship. They have a healthy, beneficial effect on the minds
of the students. Everyone should visit the library.
20-A Rainy Day / A Rain Storm / The Monsoon
It was the second week of July. The sun was shining brightly. It was very hot. It was close
since morning. Everybody was perspiring from head to foot. Everybody was praying for rain.
The newspapers carried the reports of deaths by heat-stroke. Even animals were dying of heat
and thirst.
Suddenly, black clouds appeared. They covered the whole sky. A cool breeze began to blow.
It flashed and thundered for sometime. Soon, it started drizzling. Then it began to rain heavily.
The streets were full of water. Young boys ran out of their houses to enjoy a bath. They floated
paper-boats and ate mangoes. They splashed at one another and enjoyed themselves of it much.
A new current of life ran everywhere. Leaves of the trees began to glitter. The crops were
washed. The birds began to sing and dance. Atmosphere became clean and pleasant. Freshness
spread everywhere. A pleasant wind began to blow. The roads and streets were washed. The
crops and the trees flourished. Everyone looked happy and thanked Allah Tala.
21-A True Muslim
The follower of Islam is called a Muslim. To be a Muslim is a great blessing of Allah. A
Muslim has firm faith in Allah and His Prophet Hazrat Muhammad. He believes in the other
Prophets of Allah, His angels, the Holy Books, the Day of Judgement and the Hereafter. He
believes that Allah is the Creator of everything.
