A teacher is a respectable and honorable person of our society. Teaching is a noble and
prophetic profession. So, the people who belong to this profession are really great and
worthy to be honored. A teacher is a mind setter and personality maker person so, a
teacher has a great hand in making and moulding the destiny of nations.
I respect all of my teachers. I have great regards for all of them. But if I am asked to tell

Bazm-e- Adab and coach of school football team. In short, his personality is a happy
combination of many rare qualities.I always pray for his health and long life.
2. My Best Friend
“A friend in need is friend indeed” is a famous and well known proverb. It points out the
need that we should be very careful in the choice of our friends. A man is known by the
company he keeps. So, our company of people and our friends affects our name and
reputation. I am fond of friendship because I am social by nature. I feel at home and
happy in the company of my friends.I have a large circle of my friends. All of them are
good in their own way but Ali is my best friend who always stand by me through thick

loving heart. He is smart, active and energetic.

3. My House
A house is a place where we live with our family. It is the basic need of our life. It is a
kind of shelter which gives us a sense of possession and security. When love binds the
members of a family in a house it becomes a home about which goes a famous
proverb. “East or west, home is best”. To have shelter of roof over the head is a great
blessing in the modern uneasy times. A person who is not having his own home is
virtually a rootless man. Hence, a homeless person is a rootless person. I am lucky to
have a house of my own. My house is located on the College Road Daska. This road is
one of the best roads of the city. Hospitals, banks, markets and school are located on
this road. The venue to my house is quite easy to reach as it is situated in the heart of
the main city.
My house consists of five rooms, a drawing room, a kitchen and spacious courtyard.
Each room of my house is furnished, painted and carpeted. There is an attached wash
room. My house has the facilities of gas, water and electricity. There is also a well-kept
beautiful lawn in my house which gives graceful look to my house. I have been living in
this house with my family for the last ten years.In short, my house is my home which is
dearer to me than any other place. I love my house and the inmates of this house. We
are happy family. May Allah bless our house!
4. My Hobby
A hobby is an activity which is adopted to spend our free time. It is said, “An idle brain is
a devil’s workshop” so we should not remain idle and pass our spare in some useful
hobby. There are many such hobbies as can be adopted to spend our free time usefully
coin collecting, stamp collecting, walking,reading etc are a few among them.
My hobby is gardening. It is very interesting and useful hobby. It has religious
importance also growing trees and plants is a never ending good deed. During the
battles, the Muslims were forbidden to cut down the green trees or plants. On the other
hand, the Muslims are encouraged to grow plants. Thus, by adopting this hobby, I not
only pass my free time in a good way but also do a charitable deed. Gardening is a very
simple and natural hobby. There is a plot beside my house. I have grown many plants
and green trees there. I have also grown there some beautiful flowers and vegetables. I
daily water the plants and cut the useless bushes. The lawn presents a beautiful and
colorful view for the visitors. Whenever I am free I go to my lawn and inhale the fresh air
and fragrance of flowers. The beauty of my lawn is a cooling sight to the eyes of visitors.
I also get fresh vegetables for my home kitchen.
In short, my hobby of gardening is my link with the world of nature. There is never a dull
moment. My hobby gives me peace, joy and pleasure.
5. Sports and games
Sports and games are healthy activities. They are an important part of our education. It
is a famous saying that “All work and no play makes jack a dull boy”. It means that if a
student keeps on reading and working all the time, he becomes dull minded. His interest
in sports and games is finished.He becomes a book worm and an imbalanced person.

CONTACT : +923334082706
Sports and games play a very important role in shaping and moulding the character and
personality of students. They teach them the good qualities of honesty, discipline,
obedience, co-operation and sport man spirit. They also create in them the leader-ship
qualities. Games teach the students to accept their defeat honestly but they should
never use foul means to win. They also develop team spirit instead of personal interest.
The sports and games make an integral part of school education. Almost all the school
have football, volley ball, cricket and hockey teams. Matches and tournaments are held
at tehsil, district, divisional and provincial levels. The best teams are given prizes and
medals. These events lend a festive and colorful touch to school life.
Sports and games have a great role to play in keeping the students healthy, active and
physically fit. In short, sports and games have great importance. They prepare students
for practical life. They have their educative and social values.
6. Allama Muhammad Iqbal
History is full of great people. These are great men who are history making and they
become an unforgettable poet of history in the history of Islam. There are many great
leaders and heroes, they all are great but Dr. Allama Muhammad Iqbal stands head and
shoulders among them. Allama Iqbal, better known as the poet of East was born in
Sialkot on November 9, 1877. He belonged to a Kashmiri family. His parents were very
religious and pious.He got his religious education at home and early school education in
Sialkot. He went to Lahore and did M.A from Govt. College lahore. Then he went
abroad for higher education. He studied law and became a lawyer. He also went to
Germany and did Ph.D in philosophy from there. Then he came back and started
practice as a lawyer. He wanted to serve and work for the muslims unity and struggle
for freedom.
He gave the idea of Pakistan and requested Quaid-e-Azam to work for the freedom of
their people. In short, he could not see his dream come true in his life time. He died
April 21, 1938 before the birth of Pakistan but he will live in the hearts of muslims for
ever through his inspiring poems and works.
7. My Ambition
Our ambitions pave the way for our success in life. It is our ambitiousness that leads to
progress and prosperity. It gives us strength to face every difficulty that comes in our
path to success.
I am a hardworking and ambitious student of class X. My ambition is to become a
professor of English. I know that I need a wide knowledge of English to achieve my
ambition. I take great interest in this subject and spend hours studying it with great
attention.
I want to serve my nation as an exemplary professor of English. As a professor I will
bring revolutionary changes in our education system. Today English is taught in almost
all schools and colleges. In spite of this our standards in English have fallen badly. Most
of our students are quite unable to read and write English correctly. This shows our
method of teaching is ineffective.

CONTACT : +923334082706
I resolve to raise standards of achievement in education. As a professor of English I will

employ the methods of teaching prevailing in some foreign countries. Moreover, I will
discourage rote-learning among students and help them understand their lessons
completely. May Allah enable me to achieve my ambition!
8. Courtesy
Courtesy means polite and civilized behaviour. Our good upbringing and kind heart
make us courteous. A courteous man is always polite and kind to everybody. He never
loses his temper. He is always well-mannered and respects the feelings of others.
Little words of courtesy like thank you please etc. make our daily life pleasant and
enjoyable. A courteous man frequently uses these words in his daily life. This enables
him to make his way smoothly in the world.
A courteous man never does anything that other people find offensive. He is always
willing to help those who are in trouble. In a crowded bus, he is disposed to give his
seat to an elderly person or to someone who is blind, disabled and sick. He has love
and regard for the whole of mankind. People enjoy his company a lot.
Courtesy creates a peaceful and friendly atmosphere. In the company of courteous
people no one likes to become rude or impolite. Contrary to it, in the company of
discourteous people a courteous
person is also apt to become impolite and discourteous. Harsh and rude words prove to
be more painful for us than physical injuries because we often remain unable to seek
legal redress for them. Thus discourtesy leads people to commit crimes of violence.
In this modern age courtesy is the most needed quality. We cannot run our affairs
without it.
Courtesy really makes everybody life more pleasant and more meaningful. Moreover, it
can help us establish a peaceful society.
9. My Neighbour
It is an often quoted proverb, “We can choose our friends but not our neighbours.”
A good neighbour is a great blessing of Allah. I am lucky that I have such a good
neighbour. Mr.Akram is my next door neighbour. He is a doctor by profession. He is out
and out a good physician. He treats his patients with great devotion. He helps the poor
and needy patients.He is also a social person. He meets all his neighbours with a
smiling face. A smile always plays on his lips. He enjoys a sound health. He has a
handsome physique. He is very active and smart. He attends a neighbour who falls ill.
He is a religious man. He says his prayers and recites the Holy Quran regularly. He
respects the elders and loves the youngers. He has two sons. They are also very polite
like their father. He is man of principles. I thank Allah Almighty that He has blessed me
with such a sincere neighbour. I am proud of him. May he live long!
10. Quaid-e-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah
History is full of great leaders who work hard for the betterment, progress and prosperity
of their people. It is the devotion, sincerity and untiring efforts of these great leaders that
the people get honourable and dignified place in the comity of nations. Quaid-e-Azam

CONTACT : +923334082706
Muhammad Ali Jinnah is such leader whose devotion, dedication and untiring struggle
helped the Muslims of India to get freedom and establish a free state of their own in the
name of Pakistan on the map of the world.
He was born and educated in Karachi. He went abroad for higher education and
returned home as a successful lawyer. He started law practice first in Karachi and then
in Bombay. It was the period when India was under the British rule.
Muhammad Ali Jinnah was a strong supporter of Hindu-Muslim unity. But soon he
realized the narrow mindedness of Congress and the Hindu leaders. So he left the
Congress and devoted himself for the free and separate state of Muslims. On March 23,
1940 Pakistan resolution was adopted. He worked day and night for the establishment
of Pakistan. At last his efforts bore fruit and Pakistan came into being on August 14,
1947. He became its first Governor General.
In short, Quaid-e-Azam was not only the founder of Pakistan but he was also the hero,
beloved leader and well wisher of the Muslims of India. Over work told upon his health
and he passed away on September 11, 1948. He lived and died for Pakistan. May his
soul rest in the highest heaven!
11. My last day at school

School years have their own taste and colour but my last day at school has special
flavour and is unforgettable for me. It was March 01, 2015. Our juniors of 9th class
arranged a farewell party in the honour of the outgoing students of 10th class. All of us
were very excited and in high spirits.
The function was arranged in the school hall. It started at 11 am with the recitation of
the Holy Quran. Then a student presented a Naat in a melodious voice which cast a
spell on the audience. The monitor of the 9th made a speech on behalf of the 9th class
students. He expressed best wishes for the outgoing students. Then from the stage, I
was called upon to come on behalf of the 10th class students. I specially thanked my
juniors for the good arrangement of the party. I also mentioned about the good and
happy days we spent together at school. At the end, the principal was called on the
stage in the midst of clapping. He advised us to be honest and work hard in life. Then
we were entertained with cold drinks and samosas.
In short, my last day at school is an unforgettable day of my school life. It will always
remind me of my happy days at school.
12. My School
A school is a place of training and learning. It is a place where we get education. It is a
place where we learn finer values and good habits. A school plays a key role in making
us useful citizens by teaching us the qualities of honesty obedience, regularity,
punctuality, discipline and sincerity.
I read in Govt. Christian high school Daska. It was built about 150 years ago. It was a
missionary school, setup during the British rule. It is an old but graceful building. It is
situated on the main city road.There are thirty rooms in my school. It has well furnished

computer lab, a science room and a library. It has the office of the worthy principal, a
staff room and a big hall. There is a green, beautiful and big lawn in the centre of
building. The lawn is decorated with colorful flowers, small plants and green grass. All
the rooms of school are painted and white washed. The class rooms are airy, well
lighted and spacious.They are decorated with charts, maps and pictures.My school has
always shown excellent performance in board results, games and other cocurricular
activities like speeches, debates and essay writing. The teachers of the school are
highly competent, hard working, caring and loving.
My school has produced many doctors, engineers and traders who are serving the
nation invarious fields of Pakistan. I have great attachment and love for my school. I am
proud of my school.
