Q#2: Give Speech on 500 Words.
Topic: Importance of Reading Books.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Good afternoon! Today, I would like to talk about a
topic that is near and dear to my heart - the
importance of reading books.
Books have been a source of knowledge, wisdom,
and entertainment for centuries. They have the
power to transport us to different worlds,
introduce us to new ideas, and challenge our
perceptions. Reading is not just a hobby, it's a
journey of discovery, a journey that enriches our
minds and souls.
In this digital age, where information is readily
available at our fingertips, one might question the
relevance of books. However, I firmly believe that
books hold a unique place in our lives that cannot
be replaced by any other medium.
Firstly, reading books improves our cognitive
abilities. It enhances our vocabulary, improves our
comprehension skills, and stimulates our
imagination. When we read, we are not just
passively consuming information, but actively
engaging our minds. We are forced to think, to
question, to analyze, and to reflect. This mental
workout not only sharpens our minds but also
fosters creativity.
Secondly, books are a treasure trove of knowledge.
They provide us with insights into different
cultures, historical events, scientific discoveries,
and philosophical ideologies. Reading broadens
our horizons and deepens our understanding of
the world. It makes us more empathetic as we
learn about different perspectives and
experiences.
Moreover, books are our best companions in
solitude. They offer comfort, solace, and wisdom in
times of need. They make us laugh, cry, think, and
dream. They inspire us, motivate us, and challenge
us. They are our silent mentors, guiding us through
the complexities of life.
However, the benefits of reading are not just
limited to personal growth. Reading also has a
profound impact on our social interactions. It
fosters empathy, understanding, and tolerance. It
helps us to communicate effectively, to articulate
our thoughts clearly, and to listen attentively. It
makes us better listeners, better speakers, and
better human beings.
In conclusion, reading books is not just an activity,
it's a lifestyle. It's a commitment to lifelong
learning, to personal growth, and to social
harmony. So, let's embrace the joy of reading. Let's
explore new worlds, discover new ideas, and
challenge our perceptions. Let's embark on this
exciting journey of discovery and growth.
Thank you for your attention.

Q#5: Passage.
Here are the answers of the passage:

1. The most appropriate title for the passage could

be "*Perceptions of Extravagance and Frugality*".

2. According to the passage, a person who is a

successful businessman and wealthy is expected to
lead a luxurious life and be generous with his
hospitality. If he is not, he is considered mean, and
his reputation in business may even suffer as a
result.

3. The phrase 'lavish with his hospitality' means to

be very generous and extravagant, especially in
terms of entertaining guests or providing for their
comfort.

4. The word 'paradox' in this context refers to a

situation or statement that appears impossible or
contradictory but is actually true or possible. In the
passage, it refers to the contradiction that if a
wealthy person had not been careful with his
money in the first place, he would never have
achieved his present wealth.
