PREFACE
Dear Students!
KEY TO SUCCESS as its name implies is a modest attempt to compile different essential
parts of English literature and composition in a concise manner in a world packed with distractions
glamour and multi pastimes. The students do not have to learn number of answers for attempting a
question paper. In this book, we have tried generously to handle different problems which the students
face relevant with their paper. There are some books which have a bulk of things for the students. Such
things ornament the value of the books but they do not carry any help for the examination point of view.
Even the most ambitious and talented students fail to decipher the important things from the book. This
results more labor and less reward. Therefore, KEY TO SUCCESS is a humble attempt for average and
talented students to attempt the relevant and vital parts of the paper. The formation of KEY TO
SUCCESS has been almost re-written, revised to cater for the needs of students, any way any suggestion
for the improvement of KEY TO SUCCESS will be entertained cordially.Thanks

wonder if they are going to compel them to sing in German too!” The loss of language is great
disaster for any society. First person narration is used to show the regret of a school boy who
represents the whole nation. Every character realizes his mistake and regrets his inaction and
irresponsibility. Franz, Hamel and the villagers have gathered to remorse their inability to keep
freedom and own language. Language is not mere a source of communication. It is the reflection
of culture, tradition, customs, social identity, cultural inheritance and national pride. Everyone is
responsible for the demise in the society. The parents neglected their child’s education. The
children wasted their time in useless activities. The teachers taught carelessly. The high ups
never visited the school and neglected the foundation of a great society. The French language is
a romance language. It had been the sweetest and strongest language in the history. In the
Last Lesson through the character of Hamel the writer has created an idealized teacher. A teacher
affects eternity; he can never tell where his influence stops. Hamel was an experienced teacher
and central character of the story. He was very strict teacher and punished his students. He kept a
ruler under his arm. He was a traditional school teacher. He always maintained decorum and
discipline in the class. He believed in the use of force. The villagers respected him for his forty
year service. He regretted his flaws in his last lesson and speech. He was a good orator. He used
language effectively to realize his audience. He invoked patriotism and love for French language
among his students and villagers. He reproached himself for his carelessness. He used to send his
students to water his garden. He gave holiday to the students when he wanted to have trout
fishing. He can’t be a good teacher because he was careless about the future of his nation. He
ignored his duties and set his students to do personal work. He didn’t realize that a teacher is
very important factor of a society. If a building falls due to ignorance of an engineer, it is a
material loss. If a person dies due to ignorance of a doctor, it is a great loss. But if a nation spoils
due to a teacher, it is a disaster.
Bromides And Sulphites
By: Gelett Burgess
Questions:
Who is the better, Bromides or Sulphites? Elaborate.
This essay is about two sentiments of life, which are characterized by the behaviors of
two elements. Bromides and Sulphites are two bents of mind. They are named according to the
behavior of bromides and sulphites. They are opposite in their approach and action. Bromides
are typical, orthodox and blind followers of set norms, customs, traditions and social practices.
They remain with the mob. They behave in accordance with society. They are not imaginative
and creative. Everybody likes them because they like others. They don’t do unusual things and
practice according to others’ expectations. They make certain rules in life and follow them
strictly. They do not think deeply. Their actions and thoughts are predictable. They are found in
majority. Bromides are typical while sulphites are radical, creative and innovative. Sulphites are
revolutionary. They oppose others in actions and thought. They appear suddenly and do
something unusual. They contradict social norms, customs, values, practices and traditions.
Their arrival is blasting. They can’t be expected regarding their behavior and thoughts. Sulphites
are very important and much needed in the society because they bring change. Only change is
enduring in the world. The evolution in the human society is due to them. All the great writers,
artists and scientists were sulphites because they thought different from others and brought
innovations. Their behavior was un-predictable as they didn’t follow the set norms, customs,
beliefs and social practices. They were rebels in the society. Hamlet opposed the king and made

him realized his guilt. He was unorthodox and a having sulphitic qualities in himself. Becky
Sharp in “Vanity fair” by Thakeray is also unusual and imaginative character. Thus she has
characteristics of sulphites. American president, Roosevelt was also a sulphite in politics while
Merie was sulphite in writing. GB Shaw, a great revolutionary writer was a sulphite. Some
writers may contradict in their ideas and life. Sulphites are necessary for the society. If we don't
change, we don't grow. If we don't grow, we aren't really living.
How To Live To Be 200
By: Stephen Leacock
Questions:
Highlight the criticism on Jiggins’ habits?
What was the health mania and typical exercise/food/diseases mania of Jiggins.
Pieces of advice given by the writer, Are these measures practical, How can one live long
life?
There are a lot of people in this world who spend so much time watching their health that
they haven’t the time to enjoy it. Humorou is the fundamental part of this essay which is actually
satire on those people who have obsession of health. The writer has used exaggeration and irony
to criticize their habits. They are very much conscious of their health, exercise and food. They
make their life difficult, miserable, monotonous and boring. They don’t enjoy their life and
behave like a silly person. They walk on dew drops, hunt for ozone. They try as much as
possible to eat hygienic things to make their life the best. They behave like a machine as Jiggins
do in this essay and eventually die unexpectedly. All the measures like exercise, diet and extra
health mania do not prolong their lives. The persona of the essay is Jiggins whose mania is
laughed at. He is obsessed about his health. He takes cold bath and hot sponge every morning.
He breathes in fresh air, does Sandow exercises, passes his break time in exercise at office, and
attends a gym in the evening. He walks before sleeping and after awakening. The obsession of
health and food consciousness is the thing which encircles the people toward death. Life passes
with enjoyments and peace of mind can be easy and prolonged. The writer suggests that man
should enjoy sound sleep, get up at appropriate time and not take tension about health and work.
He should avail fresh air and do exercise if time is available. He should avoid cold bath and hot
sponge. He should get over the fear of germs and diseases. He shouldn’t be fearful of bacilli and
other germs. He should eat whatever he finds and how much he gets. One who is very sensitive
and conscious about the selection of food makes life difficult. One should get other’s services to
accomplish his tasks. He should enjoy his life. Eat, drink, play and be merry.
Right and Wrong
By: LEWIS
Questions:
Recapitulate Lewis’s series of reasons for believing that there is a “Law of Nature”_ that
there is “real Right or wrong”.
What are his reasons for believing that the moral law is not simply an instinct?
Is it right or wrong to cheat in the examination?
Lewis tells us that every person is aware about right and wrong and wants to follow this
standard behavior on every cost. Either any person follows this standard or not, he bears in mind
this standard and expects it from other persons. He also utters that there is no need to teach this
standard to any person. To show the presence of real right and right, writer provides lot of

KEY TO SUCCESS BSC ENGLISH NOTES (ADP SCIENCES PART 2)
examples from the real life. We listen that people are quarrelling with one another on different
issues and they complain one another on the breaking of standard of behavior which is agreed
among them. A person appeals some kind of standard of behavior but other reply, “to hell your
standard” therefore the very person does not follow the standard at that time when he is said to
behave in the same way. The people break the law of morality and rules of nature but teach
others to follow these rules. If a footballer does not agree on these rules, then here will be no
sense in saying that a footballer had committed a foul. The idea was that, just as falling stones
are governed by the law of gravitation and chemicals by chemical laws, in this way, man also
had his law. Great difference is that “the stones could not choose whether it obeyed the law of
gravitation, or not, but a man could choose either to obey the law of human nature or to disobey
it.” The idea of decent behaviour is obvious to everyone. A nation may say that treaties have no
importance, but next moment, they spoil their case by saying that the particular treaty which they
broke was unfair one. The writer insists if there is no concept of right or wrong, then what is
difference between fair and unfair treaty. C.S. Lewis points out that moral law is very essential
in every society and it is present in every society. There is no need to tell anyone about the moral
law, because, he is aware about it by his nature. Everyone knows it by common sense,
experience and observation of life. If someone is educated or uneducated, he is much familiar
about the standard of behaviour with the people in the society. Moral law is a matter of choice. A
person has choice to follow it or abandon it. It depends upon a person what he wants. In failure
of moral law, we use excuses and pretexts. Examinations are a test of our knowledge and
through cheating one shows that he is a better scholar than those who are not cheating and they
are, in fact, better scholars than he. We cannot assess the actual abilities and capabilities of a
person properly if he cheats in examinations. So cheating produces wrong results. Now nobody
likes wrong results for oneself. Cheating in examinations discourages hard-working. By cheating
in examination, illegal people come up. Cheating also promote class-distinction. Cheating in
examination is moral-corruption and against the standard behaviour of human beings and no one
accepts it against oneself; therefore, it is wrong, unjust and unfair.
Open Window
By: H. H. Munro
Questions:
What are the themes of the essay the open window?
Do you agree the basic themes of the essay are appearance and reality?
Highlight the mental illness or confusion, irony and suspense in the essay.
Draw a character sketch of Vera/Ms. Sappleton / Mr. Nuttel)
This essay is full of suspense and irony in which a young girl of fifteen, Vera makes Mr.
Nuttel fool. She is very clever and manipulating. Though she is fifteen years old, yet she is more
authoritative and cunning than she should be. The appearance, conversation and manners of a
village girl are ironical. She looks much mature than her age. Her actions and conversation are
constant source of suspense. She is a keen observer of others’ habits and routines and uses them
in her fabricated story told to Mr. Nuttel. She uses Nuttel’s ignorance to countryside, mental
illness. She tells him story with fabricated minute details of habits and manners of her aunt and
her uncle coming from snipe shooting. This blend of reality and imagination is ironical, a source
of suspense and dilemma of present man. This is another theme of this fiction that man wavers
between illusion and reality. It is difficult to differentiate. When it exposes, it causes severe
mental illness. The symbol of open window is the exposition of reality. The deception of the

young girl is another feature of modern life. There is a little difference between sanity and
insanity. “A sick thought can devour the body's flesh more than fever or consumption.” Mr.
Nuttel is fooled. He visits the countryside to seek better mental health. He suffers from an
undisclosed nervous ailment. He brings a letter of introduction to Mrs. Sappleton in order to
make her acquaintance for his stay in her village. While he waits for Mrs. Sappleton to appear,
her niece keeps him company and tells him a story about why a window in the room has been
left open. He is a representative of modern man who has a confused state of mind. He is unable
to differentiate appearance and reality. Framton Nuttel is a passive person who thinks that
strangeness will improve his health but he gets frightened when he finds it. He believes Vera‟s
story of open window that Mrs. Sappleton’s dead husband and brothers will return one day.
When Nuttel looks out the window and sees figures matching the descriptions of the long-dead
hunters in the niece’s story, he suffers a mental breakdown and flees the house. Irony is the
gaiety of reflection and the joy of wisdom. Thus the writer through the foolish character of
Nuttel and cunning role of Vera discloses the ironical behavior of the people.
Place of Science in liberal Education
By: Bertrand Russel
Questions:
Enumerate the benefits of science?
Highlight the values of science education vs classical education?
What are the benefits of classical education, science and literature and art?
What are two merits of science in contrast to Literature and art and the suggestion of good
use of science?
Science has revolutionized human life. It has reduced distances, controlled the forces of
nature, brought changes in wireless telegraphy and changed the world into a global village. The
real end of science is the formation of rational and intellectual outlook on the world. It trains
mind, makes well informed and gives impersonal point of view. Science does a little
nourishment of mind. Science is inferior to classical education and literature because science is
not taught with the same spirit. It is concerned with present and future. Though literary education
has a lot of passive things yet it is not as much fruitful as is science. Science has two merits in
contrast to art and literature. It takes an objective view of life. It has no place for human passions
and subjectivity. Secondly it grows scientific attitude whether the actual theory is right or wrong.
Darwin’s theory of natural selection and Malthus’ theory of population are erroneous; however,
they have created a scientific method and mode of inquiry. In science, mostly creative theories
are applied by the average scientists. The real genius is that who invents for the first time. But in
art and literature, the work is always creative. The real outlook of life is projected through the
works. This scientific method is not present in philosophy. Philosophy looks at the world as a
whole. If science develops this universalism, it will be excellent because philosophy can’t get
solid results as science does. It provides happiness in the passionate this planet. Bertrand has a
different view of education. His focus is on the development of creativity. The true end of
education is innovation rather passivity. It widens personal outlook. The writer criticizes the
inherent weakness of classical education.
On a Common Cold
By: Osbert Sitwell
Questions:
How has the writer used irony, exaggeration, humor created effects of a common cold?
Do you think the writer has appeal of the essay on matter rather than subject matter?
The essay on a common cold is a humorous account of the effects of common cold. The
writer creates appeal in his essay through the subject matter. It is replete with irony and
exaggeration which create humor, interest and fun. Irony is the difference of appearance and
reality while exaggeration is a boastful description. The title is ironic. Though it is a common
cold yet it affects drastically in the essay. The three aspects of the common cold, which are
symptoms, its effects on the patient and its historical role are ironic and exaggerated in this
essay. The effects of the common cold are many and drastic according to the essay. The writer
has described them through the series of daily experiences. A common cold has many
symptoms. It affects human beings in many ways. It brings changes not only in physical health
but also in manners and habits. It causes sneezing and coughing. It causes pain in teeth, limbs
and the roots of hair. The description of symptoms,
“Pains in teeth and roots of the hair”,
“A common cold alters the very existence of him who suffers from it”,
“Pathos, together with a slightly hysterical humour” and “alters the spirit, the very
nature of the person it attacks” are ironic and exaggerated. Moreover, the attitude
becomes perverted. The person suffering from it does unusual things. He meets those whom he
dislikes. The writer gives the example of his cousin who meets him in common cold. The lonely
person starts visits theatre, lectures and concert halls. All these changes are exaggerated and
ironic. The role of the common cold is historic. England is blessed with it. Napoleon was
defeated due to common cold. The defeat of Hitler and Caesar is also nominated to the common
cold in the essay. All these accounts are ironic, exaggerated and humorous. It arouses the interest
of the reader. Common cold brings pathos and hysterical humour. It had played havocs in the
human history. It is the descendent of plague which claimed millions of deaths in the past. It was
called Black Death. It spread throughout the community. In the same way, common cold
resembles its ancestral disease, plague. It has a long history. Even it is referred in Elizabethan
poetry. “And the cold, too, has played a noble part in world events.” Napoleon was defeated
by the common cold at Waterloo. This success is attributed to Duke of Wellington and Blucher.
It was common cold that played significant role in the accession of Roman Empire by Julius
Caesar. Moreover, it has always stopped the generals of British Army to give command for a
great war through sneezing. Thus common cold has become common in the recent times in the
shape of Corona Virus. The description of common cold has been exaggerated by the writer.
Emotional Meanings
By: Robert H Thoules
Questions:
Elaborate the difference of emotional and objective meanings?
Highlight the difference of moral and scientific judgment?
Count down the difference of objective and subjective meaning? How do the words matter
a lot?
“The wound of cut heals but the wound of tongue never heals”. It is doubtless that the
use of words is very important in our life. They point out some idea associated with them.
Language is arbitrary and there is no connection between words and their meanings. They are set
socially and traditionally. There are two layers of associated ideas with the words. One is
objective meanings while the other is emotional meanings. The objective meanings are also
called scientific, denotative and impersonal meanings. They are unprejudiced, unbiased and
impersonal. They are acknowledged on a wider scale. Mostly they are same across the cultures.
They are free of colors, likeness and dislikes of the individuals. They don’t raise any conflict
among their users. They create scientific judgment. On the other hand, emotional meanings are
subjective, personal and mostly culture specific. They vary from person to person and society to
society. They have some associated ideas with the objective meanings. They are driven by
conventions and norms of the societies. They arouse conflicts and differences. The people set
certain likeness and dislikes with the words. They create moral judgment among the users. The
ideas associated with the set norms are considered good. The violation of those set standards will
cause variation, conflicts and differences. They are very necessary to create beauty in the speech.
The poetry loses its charms, if there are no emotional meanings. Because according to Keats.
“Heard Melodies Are Sweet, but Those Unheard Are Sweeter”. Many social, cultural,
religious and political differences cause due to difference of emotional meanings. The word
“dog” means an animal while “Mongrel” is used for negative connotations. The words “firm”
and “obstinate, pigheaded” are same in objective meanings but different in emotional meanings.
The word “Martyr” and “assassinated” mean killing but former is sacred and latter is not. It can
be concluded that the use of words should be made carefully because their emotional meanings
can bring disasters. Emotional meanings are conceived meanings other than objective meanings.
They are subjective and personal and vary from man to man. They are abstract.
Secret Life Of Walter Mitty
By: James Thurber
Questions:
What is the fantasy of Mitty?
The story of Mitty is the Story of every man, Do you agree?
Elabiorate the role of Mitty, difference of imagination and reality, dissatisfaction of Mitty
with his life and escapism of Mitty?
What are the most important theme of the essay?
The man who has no imagination has no wings. Through the character of Walter, the
writer has portrayed the theme of imaginations and reality. Walter Mitty and his wife run errands
and Mitty has suffered from the plague of day dreaming. The whole story is full of his fantasy
world. Mitty escapes into an imaginary world from the reality of the world which is dominated
and bullied by his wife. She treats him as a child and immature person. He is dissatisfied with his
life. He wants to get rid of his problems. He only takes refuge into his imaginations. He takes his
romantic and ideal flight to the fantastic world. He consoles himself by performing the different
roles in his imaginations. He is a true human being in this regard. Every person of this world is
imaginative to some extent. While driving, he imagines being a pilot of an eight engine Navy
hydroplane. He shows bravery, unusual skill and daring performance. He controls the
hydroplane in his imaginations but his wife is out of control. Mitty gets his unfulfilled desires
through his imaginations. He drives past a hospital and starts another fantasy. This time, he's a
famous surgeon doctor trying to save a millionaire named Wellington McMillan. He is praised

by others but he is often admonished in his real life. He reaches the court and confesses to be a
killer when he hears a boy shouting Waterbury trials. He waited his wife in the hotel lobby
where he read a magazine with the pictures of German bombers. This takes him to the fantastic
world of imagination. He fantasizes himself an air captain. He is willing to sacrifice for his
country. His dream is interrupted by his wife. But when she went to drug store, he again
imagines himself to be facing firing squad bravely. It can be concluded that Mitty is brave, risky,
patriot, dominant on others, an expert surgeon, pilot, naval captain, sharp-shooter and
praiseworthy person in his imaginative world. But he is opposite in his real life. He is fearful
from his wife. He takes the flight of his imaginations to reach his imaginative world. He enjoys
his dreamy world. The difference of husband and wife also project the theme of misfit
relationships. The theme of matrimonial difference is very sound. The good relations demand
mental harmony of husband and wife. The relationship of Mr. and Mrs. Mitty is ironical. The
exietence of Mitty is actually the escape of a man from reality.
Where Do The Bright Ideas Come From?
By: Lancelot Whyte
Questions:
Express the ideas of creative thinkers and their striking activity of creativity and sources of
ideas?
The process of creative thought is complex and arbitrary. Mostly it is associated with
unconscious. The working of unconscious is unknown and uncontrolled. Thus, it is difficult to
bring it within the domain of consciousness. According to Lancelot Whyte a creative thought is
“Leap in thought.” The thinkers and great writers remain unaware of the process of their
creativity. Mostly it is considered as divine revelation. The poetic creation as well as scientific
discoveries is brought forth by some mysterious process. It is an intuitive process. This process
of sudden exposition is common in religious mysticism, philosophy, art, literature, science,
mathematics and technical inventions. The writer has supported many examples from the life of
great thinkers and minds. They went through the similar way. Richard Wagner was a great
musician. He got his prelude to “Rhinegold” in a trance like state. The writer says about it,
“The conscious mind at the moment of creation knew nothing of actual processes.” Henri
Poincare was a great mathematician. He got knowledge about “Fuchsian” function at night after
taking black coffee in his sleepless night. Descartes presented his philosophy in his dream.
Mozart music was also discovered while its creator was playing billiard. Hamilton got his new
mathematical method while walking in the street of Dublin with his wife. Walter Scott always
got his ideas while resting and sleeping at night. It is called “Sleeping on it.” He says, “Never
mind, I shall have it at seven o‟ clock tomorrow morning.” Blake says, “I have written the
poem, without premeditation.” Darwin says, “Ideas and beliefs are not voluntary acts.” All
these examples show that creativity is involuntary action. Human conscious has no role in this
sudden action. However, it is not known how it happens. There is not sufficient information on
mental working. However, Whyte concludes that unconscious activity is necessary for creativity.
Conscious has certain limitations. It sticks to the problems but unconscious is a boundless sea of
extra ordinary powers. Human mind has a great potential in unconscious, which is yet to be
explored. It is revealed through the process of creation by many great minds of the world. So the
creative people have brought innovations in certain fields of interests. Secondly, it requires rest
and relaxation.
their suffering. The pathetic account has strong feelings of pity, sympathy and sorrow. The
treatment he was given there was inhuman and painful. Before starting treatment, he had to pass
through a detailed interview at reception. He was unable to stand but he had to do it. Then he
was given bath after questioning. He was treated with the ancient method of cupping after it. He
was treated as animals. The attitude of nurses was very bad. The food served there was of poor
quality and unhygienic. The method of checking and knocking his body was very painful. It was
the most disgraceful that the patients were called out by their bed numbers. The scene of death of
No. 57 was very sad. “This business of people just dying like animals, for instance, with
nobody standing by, nobody interested, the death not even noticed till the morning.”The
ward was full of foul smell and poor sanitation. Orwell presents the realistic picture. The writer
has presented many literary references about the condition of hospitals in the past. The condition
of the English hospitals was much better than it. The writer has drawn contrast of both the
countries after his experience in a French Hospital. He observed and presented the first hand
information. The death of the patients was not considered a routine matters. The English
hospitals were cleaned. The hygienic conditions were good. But the French hospitals were dirty
and unclean. The writer has used irony and humor to expose the attitude and treatment of the
doctors and nurses. But the overall atmosphere is gloomy and pathetic.
The Lost Childhood
By: Graham Greene
Graham Greene (1904–1991) is recognized as one of the most important writers of the
twentieth century, achieving both literary acclaim and popular success. Graham Greene
considers childhood is the golden period of life. Childhood has the greatest assets of man’s
whole life. If you carry your childhood with you, you never become older. Childhood has
the great inspiration in man’s life but the most important thing which inspires and enthralls a lot
that is the book reading. Books inspire us a lot in our childhood. The writer admired the
books of spies and adventures. He had deep influence through books. He hoped for the best by
reading books in his childhood. He brightened his future with the help of book reading. The
author used to think that he might become a bank accountant or an engineer but the book reading
polished his way to become a writer. At the age of fourteen, the books encouraged him to face
the difficulties of life. He got much excitement with the help of books. He liked to read the
novels of E.M. Forster. He was habitual to read the novels of Rider Haggard, Percey
Westerman and Captain Bereton. These great novelists brought to him an understanding
of the turning points of life. The books gave him imaginative understanding of future life. The
study of books revealed upon him the vision of future which is rich despite of all its
complexities. Happiness and miseries are before us, now its up to us to find out fear or hope
from them. The books are crystal for us. It is such a crystal as a child can see life and different
activities in it. The reading of books paved his bright future. The Piate Aeroplane read by him
six times in his life, gave him the highlights of lost civilization of the Sahara and of wicked
Yankee pirate. He used to think that books take a new slant in their journey towards death.
He happened to read the books; The Ancient Witch Gagool and The Viper Milan. These
books had tremendous influence in his mind. These books determined the future career of the
writer.

The authoress has informed us about the creation and importance of the ocean. According to her,
the ocean is as old as the earth itself. The ocean is the great mother of life. According to the
writer, there is no concrete and definite idea about the creation of the ocean. The writer has
rough ideas about the development of the ocean through different sources pieced together.
The earth might have come into existence about 2.5 billion years ago. The earth was the part of
the sun. When it tore into pieces, it was a ball of whirling gases. These gases were intensely
hot. The ball of flaming gases cooled with the passage of time. The moon was born when the
earth was changed from the liquid to solid state. The writer imagines that the ocean might have
developed in the manner of the moon. The earth was hard and the falling of the depression
produced a depression on the earth. This depression held the Pacific Ocean. The early ocean
grew in bulk as the heavy rains slowly filled the basin of the ocean. It was an endless process
which continued for millions of years and has never stopped till now. Before the first living
being was created there might have been trials and failures. The certain organic substances
were fashioned and through the creation of those organisms the complex human being was
evolved. The beginning of the micro organisms converted into the complex human beings. The
mountains and forests creation was also based on the trials and failures formulas. The silent
land of the earth converted into the living planet. According to the writer, some 350 million
years ago, the first pioneer of land life crept out on the shore. Thus, the gray beginning deals
with the creation of the earth, moon and the ocean. The gray dismal and gloomy beginning of the
earth turned into noisy planet.
science only. The present work of science is based on past. Therefore in art, there is no play
writer, no poet or sculptor has improved the art work. The effects of past can easily be seen in
art. The work of art is the creation of the individual efforts. The works of Dante, Shakeaspear
and Michel Angelo is the part of past and nothing is changed in it. Every artist starts from a
scratch. He refuses to build on past artistic achievements. A scientist knows that science is
continuity. Science is the process of development. Science is empirical and cumulative.
TV Addiction
By: Marie Winn
Questions:
Why has the writer called TV viewing as an addiction? Elaborate.
What are the difficulties and problems TV has created in our life?
Addiction is the excessive obsession of some activity. TV viewing has also become an
addiction. TV addiction is similar to drug and alcohol addiction. The addict of TV feels
discomfort without it as an alcoholic and drug addict do. He can’t live without it. He remains
“Hooked on TV”. It becomes difficult to get rid of both TV addiction and drug addiction. The
heavy addict says, “I find television almost irresistible.” The life without TV is passive and
inactive. TV addiction gives pleasure and happiness to its addicts. He feels relaxed. He doesn’t
feel normal without TV. The man who has no imagination has no wings. So TV makes a
person imaginative and he flies the flight of thoughts when he watches TV. The addict doesn’t
want to face reality and idealizes himself into an escaped world. He consoles himself with series
of idealized imaginations. The addicts of both TV and drugs want to do it again and again. Both
the addictions waste the sense of time. The addicts forget that time and tide waits for none. They
remain stuck to TV and don’t play role in their actual life. The television habit distorts the sense
of time. It reduces their social interactions. The addicts don’t get opportunity to communicate
with others. The addiction of TV makes it addict lethargic. The writer has used exaggeration in
the descrption of TV as it is less harmful than drug addiction as the addict leads a damaged life.
The drug and heroin addicts suffer from health problems. But TV addicts don’t have such
problems. The writer says it “Cookies addicts”. Mostly they face emotional problems. It can be
concluded that TV addiction is as dangerous as drug addiction. It harms social and personal life
of an individual. Excess of everything is bad. TV watching for a suitable time is not bad. It is the
source of entertainment. Moreover it is very necessary in this globalized world. However its use
by the students and women create a lot of problems.
REPORT WRITING
What is a Report?
A report is a short, sharp, concise document which is written for a particular purpose and
audience. It generally sets outs and analyses a situation or problem, often making
recommendations for future action. It is a factual paper, and needs to be clear and well-
structured.
Requirements
Reports may contain some or all of the following elements:
A description of a sequence of events or a situation;
Some interpretation of the significance of these events or situation, whether solely your
own analysis or informed by the views of others, always carefully referenced of course
An evaluation of the facts or the results of your research;
Discussion of the likely outcomes of future courses of action;
Your recommendations as to a course of action; and
Conclusions.
If you’re writing a report in the workplace, check whether there are any standard guidelines or
structure that you need to use.
Sections and Numbering
A report is designed to lead people through the information in a structured way, but also to
enable them to find the information that they want quickly and easily. Reports usually, therefore,
have numbered sections and subsections, and a clear and full contents page listing each heading.
It follows that page numbering is important.
Getting Started: Prior Preparation And Planning
The structure of a report is very important to lead the reader through your thinking to a course of
action and/or decision. It’s worth taking a bit of time to plan it out beforehand.
Step 1: Know your brief
You will usually receive a clear brief for a report, including what you are studying and for whom
the report should be prepared.
First of all, consider your brief very carefully and make sure that you are clear who the report is
for (if you're a student then not just your tutor, but who it is supposed to be written for), and why
you are writing it, as well as what you want the reader to do at the end of reading: make a
decision or agree a recommendation, perhaps.
Step 2: Keep your brief in mind at all times
During your planning and writing, make sure that you keep your brief in mind: who are you
writing for, and why are you writing?
All your thinking needs to be focused on that, which may require you to be ruthless in your
reading and thinking. Anything irrelevant should be discarded.
As you read and research, try to organise your work into sections by theme, a bit like writing a
Literature Review.
Make sure that you keep track of your references, especially for academic work. Although
referencing is perhaps less important in the workplace, it’s also important that you can
substantiate any assertions that you make so it’s helpful to keep track of your sources of
information.
areas for consideration. For each theme, you should aim to set out clearly and concisely the main
issue under discussion and any areas of difficulty or disagreement. It may also include
experimental results. All the information that you present should be related back to the brief and
the precise subject under discussion.
Conclusions and Recommendations
The conclusion sets out what inferences you draw from the information, including any
experimental results. It may include recommendations, or these may be included in a separate
section. Recommendations suggest how you think the situation could be improved, and should
be specific, achievable and measurable. If your recommendations have financial implications,
you should set these out clearly, with estimated costs if possible.
A Word on Writing Style
When writing a report, your aim should be to be absolutely clear. Above all, it should be easy to
read and understand, even to someone with little knowledge of the subject area.
You should therefore aim for crisp, precise text, using plain English, and shorter words rather
than longer, with short sentences.
You should also avoid jargon. If you have to use specialist language, you should explain each
word as you use it. If you find that you’ve had to explain more than about five words, you’re
probably using too much jargon, and need to replace some of it with simpler words.
Consider your audience.
If the report is designed to be written for a particular person, check whether you should be
writing it to ‘you’ or perhaps in the third person to a job role: ‘The Chief Executive may like to
consider…’, or ‘The minister is recommended to agree…’, for example.
A Final Warning
As with any academic assignment or formal piece of writing, your work will benefit from being
read over again and edited ruthlessly for sense and style.
Pay particular attention to whether all the information that you have included is relevant. Also
remember to check tenses, which person you have written in, grammar and spelling. It’s also
worth one last check against any requirements on structure.

Kindly refer to your letter No. 1015 dated May 15, 2018, about the subject cited above. I have
prepared a report and submit it as under.
As soon as I received your orders, I visited the Sunday Bazaar held at the main crossing of
Garden Town. The Bazaar offered a sight of great activity. There were temporary booths for the
use of daily provisions of life. The booths of fruit, vegetables meat and grocery were the main
sight of activity. Each booth was covered with shamiana. This Bazaar was held by the
Government to sell various provisions of daily used at cheap rates.
I surveyed the bazaar and found that the fruit and vegetables marketed in the bazaar were of poor
quality. They were neither fresh nor very cheap. They were sold slightly at a lower rate than that
of a competitive market. The beef and mutton booths were not covered. Flies and dust had
settled on the meat. The dirty and unhealthy meat was bought by a large number of customers.
Poor arrangement:
The Sunday bazaar did not have any security arrangement. Only one or two police constables
were seen in the campus. The young street urchins teased and harassed the women customers.
The crowd in the bazaar was disorderly. The dusty and polluted atmosphere was sickly and
nauseating.
Complaints of the people:
I interviewed many customers and found that they were not happy with the quality of the bazaar.
They complained against high rates of different things and their poor quality. Moreover, they
were not satisfied with the performance of the administration.
Suggestions:
It is suggested;
i. The Sunday bazaar of Garden Town should be really made useful for the people.
ii. The shopkeepers and vendors must be fined if they sell their articles at higher rates.
iii. The magistrate on duty must take stock of the quality of different edibles and punish the
defaulter.

Lahore.
Sir,
Introduction:
I have been asked by you to submit a report on the beggars and begging on the Railways Station
of my city ABC. After receiving your orders I visited the Railways Station. The Railways
Station of my city is a crowded area and there were a lot of beggars. I can define these beggers
under three categories which are as under.
The majority of the beggars there was fake and professional. They are well trained in this
profession and make sentimental cries and heart rendering appeals. They beg in the name of
religion and morality. They use different tactics to attract the attention of passengers. Few of
them have fake bandages on their arms or heads. Some of them crawl on the road. The
passengers and their relatives who come there to receive them take pity on them and give some
money.
Child Beggars:
I found a lot of child beggars there who pester everyone at the time of arrival of a train. Some of
them belong to poor and downtrodden families but some are from professional families which I
have mentioned already. They are quite young. When a train reaches the Station they rush to the
passengers and beg some alms from them. They are very large in number. They should be in
schools instead of being there.
Genuine Beggars:
After the first 2 categories now I will come to the real ones. There are only a few beggars who
are genuine. In fact, they are the people who need a real financial help. Some of them are
widows and others are old, weak and disabled persons who are not able to work.
Suggestions:
It is suggested;
i. Begging should be prohibited by law.
ii. The beggars who are weak or disabled and cannot work must be kept in charitable
institutions. The Government should arrange some light work like knitting, washing,
cooking for them.
iii. Professional beggars must be treated strictly by Police department as per law and set to
some work.
iv. Real and needy beggars should be properly helped. Child beggars should be sent to school
and government should look after them.

The Director General,

From: Social Welfare Officer
Subject: Labour problems of workers.
Sir,
Introduction:
Kindly refer to your letter No.A-3020, dated June 13, 2018 about the submission of a report, on
the subject cited above. l have to submit the following for your kind consideration.
1. On the re¢eipt of your orders, I visited many factories and famous mills of the city. I
interviewed labourers and members of the administration and found that our industrial workers
were working under pitiable conditions.
The workers in almost all the factories and mills were threatened with the insecurity of service.
They are employed on temporary basis. They were afraid of being dismissed from service on one
pretext or the other. That is why they did not work with satisfaction.
Nature of work:
They worked from morning to evening with a break of an hour. If they were late in the morning
for only a few minutes, they were not allowed to attend to their duty. They were scolded and
taken to task for late arrival. Sometimes, they had a geniune reason for their late arrival but the
administration did not pay attention to it. They could hardly make both ends meet with this
scanty amount of money.

The labourers had to work for many hours continuously. Their work was tiresome and
exhausting but they were not given enough time for refreshment. Most of the factories did not
have canteens, where they could have something to eat and drink. the factories have canteens do
not sell the articles of food at subsidized rates. Moreover, the articles of food sold at these
canteens were of substandard quality.
Medical Facilities:
The injured workers did not get real medical facilities. In the Social Security Hospital, they did
not get proper treatment without some influence. The hospitals did not give them costly
treatment. The medical staff often ill-treated them. In some of the cases, the injured labourers
died for want of medical aid.
Suggestions:
It is suggested;
i. The working hours of all the mills should be fixed.
ii. The labourers should be given real medical facilities.
iii. Their wages should be increased.
iv. They should be given three extra bonus per year to meed their extraordinary expenses.
v. They should be treated by the administration politely and their problems should be solved
sympathetically.
vi. Standard of medical treatment for the labourers should be improved.

The Head of the English Department has asked a lecturer to write a report on the
difficulties of students in learning English in Classes. Write that report posing as a
lecturer.
To,
Sir,
Kindly refer to your letter No. 412 dated May 18, 2018, about the subject cited above. t have
prepared a report and submit it as under.
Rural background:
I have interviewed and talked to a large number of students about the deficiency they suffer from
in English. A discussion with them has revealed that they do not have a command over English
due to their rural background. in the villages, there is no proper arrangement for learning of
English. Most of the schools do not have trained teachers to teach the students. The students who
belong to some village, have poor pronunciation, weak vocabulary and faulty knowledge of
grammar۔
Overpacked sections:
The students fail to learn English in our college because the sections for English teaching are
overcrowded. The Govt. has limited each section to fifty students, but in our college, each
section consists of more than one hundred students. The overcrowding of sections affects the
quality of teaching badly.
A difficult subject:
English being a foreign language is a difficult subject. The students do not test any attraction to
learn it. it is a common fact that the students fail to understand a subject which is not interesting
to them.
Teachers are not hardworking:
The students complain that the English teachers of our college are not very hardworking. They
are not professionally trained and skilful. They do not write on the blackboard. They do not
check the notebooks of the students. They do not make them read the prescribed text in the class.
The result is that the students do not develop writing power and remain weak in writing correct
spellings. The teaching of grammar is always verbal. If rules of grammar are written on the
blackboard, the students may have a better idea of English grammar.
Suggestions:
i. The sections for the teaching of English Should be limited to a sizeable number of boys.
ii. The teachers must be urged to check the notebooks of the students.
iii. They must be directed to write on blackboards.

Report Writing Example on Road Accidents by a Police Inspector to SSP of your city.
To,
Sir,
Introduction:
Kindly refer to your letter No.438 dated 1st July 2010 on the subjects cited above. I have
prepared a report about the recent traffic accidents which took place in the month of June.
On the receipt of your orders, I visited the different places of accidents and found the following:
A rickshaw collided with a bus on June 20, 2021, at the corner of G.T.S stop. The bus was
coming at full speed.The corner had a great crowd of people there. In the accident, the three fares
sitting in the rickshaw were killed on the spot. The bus driver was arrested, duly challaned and
set to prison on the charge of killing innocent people.
Another very serious accident took place near the Civil Hospital Chowk. A private Toyota car
No.SGD 4398 ran over a cyclist. The cyclist was crushed to death. On enquiry, it was found that
the brakes of the car failed. The car needed repair but the owner of the car did not worry about it.
Another serious accident took place recently near the Govt. College Stop. A fast bus coming
from Jhang ran over the college boys, who were waiting for the college bus. In that accident,
many students were injured but two of them were killed on the spot.
Conclusion:
In most of the accidents, it was seen that fast speed was the cause of accidents. Most of the roads
of the city are narrow and are in a bad condition. The flow of traffic is jammed by slow-moving
vehicles. The bus drivers run their buses carelessly and do not give any importance to the life of
the innocent citizens.
Suggestions:
It is suggested;
i. The license of the drivers who run their buses beyond the fixed rate of speed should be
cancelled to set an example for other drivers.
ii. The roads of the city should be widened and repaired.
iii. Old vehicles should be withdrawn from all the city routes.
iv. Show moving vehicles should be discouraged.

ESSAY WRITING
Smog in Lahore
Every December, thick fog descends upon Lahore, blocking out the winter
sunshine, closing off the motorway after dusk and preventing flights from landing at the
international airport at night.
The problem has grown worse over the last five years due to the high levels
of pollution and poor air quality in the city, created by increasing vehicular and industrial
emissions. Even during the summer months, there is now a permanent haze hanging over the city
that is only relieved when it rains and the pollution is washed away for a short while.
Air pollution is an issue that needs to be urgently addressed as Lahore is now
considered amongst the most polluted cities in Asia. In the winter months, with delayed rainfall,
the cold and continuously dry conditions concentrate all the pollutants in the lower levels of the
atmosphere, causing the smog to spread all over the Punjab.
“After a month of thick fog or rather smog, we finally saw some sunshine
last week after some light rain came down the night before,” explains a resident of the Lahore
Canal area. “We are so sick of the cold and damp that comes with the smog each year.” The
foggy conditions also lower the daytime temperatures since there is little sunshine to warm up
the day.
According to Dr Qamar uz Zaman Chaudhry, national climate change expert
and former Director General of Pakistan’s Meteorological Department, “The main source of the
pollutants in our lower atmosphere is Eastern Punjab where all the coal based industries are
centered (across the border in India). Of course, we have added our share of the pollutants as
well from factory and car emissions.”
In places near irrigation canals, rice paddies and rivers where there is more
moisture available, the fog gets even thicker. The smog only gets cleared when it rains, washing
away the lower layers of the atmosphere where all the harmful gases and other pollutants are
trapped near the ground.
Lahore, along with New Delhi, has recently been listed amongst the top 10
worst cities for smog in 2014 according to the Deutche Welle website. Until industries on both
sides of the border start cleaning up their emissions and people start using more fuel-efficient
transportation, people will just have to avoid going outdoors or wear masks as they do in the
heavily polluted cities of China in Beijing. Breathing in all these trapped pollutants (dust and
harmful substances like sulphur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide and carbon monoxide) is not exactly
healthy. Industrial smog can in fact create major health risks, including asthma, lung tissue
damage, bronchial infections and heart problems.
Last month, the Government of the Punjab submitted a report to the Supreme
Court of Pakistan on the steps taken to curtail pollution in the province. According to the report,
there has been a great increase in the number of vehicles in Lahore during the recent past, which
has resulted in worsening air quality.
The report also pointed out that there is now a complete ban on the issuance
of registration and route permit of two stroke engine rickshaws (introduced in 2005) and the
process of conversion or replacement of existing 2-stroke rickshaws into 4-stroke rickshaws has
been initiated. However, many of the motor vehicles plying the city roads have old engines that
guzzle petrol and diesel and spew out poisonous fumes and there is a need for stricter laws on
banning these vehicles.
Labourers work at a brick kiln near Lahore. Open burning, vehicles, factories
and power generation contribute significantly to the air pollution in Lahore.
The government should restrain the growth of cars with parking restraints and taxes in the
city and implement priority action for power plants, open burning, generator sets and
construction.
Lahore could do well to take a leaf out of Delhi's book and perhaps initiate a programme
similar to that of the CSE, albeit on a government level.
According to the Health Effects Institute, the damage from the poor air quality ranges is
not just limited to public health. Heritage (nitric sulfuric acid erosion), natural resources and
agriculture are also greatly effected.
There is a need for a comprehensive action plan to address worsening levels of pollution
not only in Lahore but throughout the country in which NGOs and the media will have to play a
pivotal role.

“Education has great value

I love my country because it is an Islamic country. But the problem is here that real Islamic rules
and regulations are not available.
My aim in life is to eliminate the evil ideas from Pakistan especially in the field of
education. I love Pakistan because education is the most important thing over here. There is no
doubt when one starts to think about Islam, one accepts that co-education should not be allowed

engineers, professors etc by studying in co-education system. Because when I see co-education

“I love Pakistan so
I do not want to

Our ancestors got freedom by sacrificing their lives. They did not like the life style of the

but I do care of Islamic modesty.
“I can sacrifice my life
but I will not allow the

My country demands from us the true dedication and proper mission and that is only
possible at that time when we would truly love it. No doubt some people consider me extremist
that my aim is different but I will act upon it for the love of my country.

science and some in the field of politics but my favourite personality is that who worked in the
fields of humanity.
Quaid-E-Azam/Allama Iqbalis the man
who did not care for the benefits
of his own self but humanity.
Quaid-E-Azam/Allama Iqbal was born in Karachi/Sialkot on 25th Dec 1877 / 9th Nov 1876. He
got his earlier education from home then he went to the school. After the completion of his
school education, he studied in a college. There he got prominent marks and went for higher
studies abroad. Therefore, he soon returned. Quaid-E-Azam/Allama Iqbal was that person who
even his earlier days showed the brilliance of a great leader. He came to the country and started
his practical life.
He also started to think about the poor
condition and poor people of his country.
Quaid-E-Azam/Allama Iqbal was against the British rule. He sensed that the country
needed freedom rather than slavery. He worked for the freedom. He did not care of his health.
For days and nights, he thought about his only one mission.
He worked like a blind horse for the nation.
Firstly he worked for the unity of Hindus and Muslims but later he came to know that
Hindus had set their own separate goal. He changed his mind for the betterment of the Muslims
only. At last, his untiring efforts brought fruits of independence. But he could not live long to
enjoy the fruits of independence. Today he is not with us but his name, his work/ poetry and his
dedication are still guiding us. He passed away on 11 Sep, 1948/ 21 April 1938. His name will
alive for ever. May his soul rest in peace! (Ameen)
He has died but as it is said,
“Great People never die.”
so he is with us forever.

Importance of trees
The disadvantages of lack of plantation
The neat and green Pakistan
Suggestion
The conclusion
A major portion of the Pakistani flag is green but a vast area of the country is void of
greenery. The percentage of tree plantation, in Pakistan is very low. It is a pity to see that the
country that has the blessing of five rivers has very little greenery. According to the experts at
least one fourth of the area of a country must have forests. But Pakistan forests are less than 5%.
The tragedy is that we are bent upon cutting down the trees that were planted by our senior
generations. It is a very common sight that every other day numerous trees are being felled.
Sometimes to expand the roads and sometimes to construct new buildings sometimes we cut
down trees to get Timber. Whatever the reason, this practice is highly deplorable.
The more painful aspect of the picture is that there is no one ready to think of the
replacement of trees. Trees are the ornaments of the environment. The beautiful Earth turns the
deserts into an earthly Paradise when there are trees. They provide natural award to birds and
animals. They provide them food as well as shelter. The life running without trees gives a barren
look. No bird sings. Trees are the friends of humanity and share our feelings and moods. They
console us in our dark hours and enhance the effects of our jubilation.
The trees encourage living in this world despite of hardships and struggling. Literature
does not become effective unless we refer to birds, flowers, plants and the beings which live in
trees. There live those creatures which speak the universal language of the soul. We travel
hundreds of miles to see the beauty of these amazing objects of nature and learn from them the
precious secrets of life.
It is really sad and sorrowful that we are lacking of trees. We are facing hazardous
atmosphere and pollution is enveloping us because of the lack of trees. Tree plantation is the
major key to the most of our environmental problems. Trees provide pollution free atmosphere
and encounter the unhealthy activities of human being that bring harmful and damaging effects
to the atmosphere. A big tree provides oxygen that is sufficient for 36 children.
Our country is a tropical country so we should give special attention on tree plantation
because only through forest we can bring prosperity in our country. They will bring freshness to
the dry surroundings by adding moisture and oxygen. They will make the sandy land of our
deserts compact and will help in controlling soil erosion. They will also provide a natural
defense against floods.
We have the forest departments but the performance of the department is not highly
commendable. Every year millions of Rupees are spent on the tree plantation campaign but the
desired results are not achieved. The Prime Minister, Imran Khan launched an ambitious five
years CLEAN AND GREEN PAKISTAN complain aim at the country and preserving a better
environment for coming generation. This initiative if pursued in letter and spirit, has the
potential to change entire landscape of the country improve its environment significantly.
The government has to take radical steps for increasing the greenery in our country. For
this purpose the parents, their children, teachers should corporate with civic agencies in keeping
their areas and surroundings neat and clean NGOs, print and electronic media, social media and
every member of a society join hands together and make the country clean and green.

century it was believed that women were the servants of the homes of their husbands. In those
days women were not allowed to take part in political and social life and administration.
Rousseau the French philosopher who never married once said “The dignity of woman consists
in being unknown to the world”.
Quite recently women have come to take more and more prominent part in many spheres
of life. In some respect, they have excelled men. In sports, intellectual and artistic pursuits in
office and industry, they have set a new record of honesty and efficiency. They have succeeded
marvelously as teachers and nurses. Goldsmith the famous poet and writer made a complaint two
centuries ago “Women famed of their valour their skill in politics or their learning have left the
duties of their own sex in order to invade the privilege of ours”. This is what the women are
doing today. Now women are enjoying that place in society.
There is particularly no field where women are not competing with men. In professions,
out-door life and law they claim equality with men. In business, trade, industry, in the learned
professions in politics, administration, scientific research literary and artistic activities they are
competing men. The daughters of Eve are making themselves felt everywhere. They are police
and military officers. They are working as sale girls, air hostesses and as clerks and steno typists.
They are turning out men from the posts of personal secretaries. As the days pass we have to get
more and more used to the idea of seeing women working side by side of men riding driving,
flying, playing games even fighting the war. In Pakistan, we have women athletes writers,
leaders, administrators. They are in purdah and without it taking an active role in outdoor life.
Law has given woman a status which is equal to that of man. In nearly every democratic country
women have the right to vote. Not only this now women have got a chance to become the head
of the state. The selection of Benazir Bhutto as Prime Minister twice is a great example of
women's place in our society.
Many thinkers including most of the Muslims do not like their idea of woman liking an
active part in public life and in the professions. They argue that biologically woman's function is
different from man's she has to be a mother. Women are not suitable for every job. They are too
delicate to perform arduous duties of life. The real greatness of a woman lies in her role as
mother. It is rightly said that the hand that rocks the cradle rules the world. The mother who can
bring up the right sort of children is really a great benefactor of society. Islamic society gives a
very respectable position to woman. The Holy Prophet has said "Verily the paradise lies under
the feet of your mother".

Mobile phone is useful for all

Negative Impacts of mobile phone on our society
The conclusion
Mobile phone is a wonderful gift of science. It is a gift to society. It has revolutionized the
world of communication. Now a man can have communication anywhere, anytime to anyone
sitting thousands of kilometers away from him. Though it is a small instrument, yet it can
perform big functions. The latest version of it offers many great facilities including music
system, photography, internet, computer, etc. It is, in fact, an improved version of landline phone
which has facilitated communication. Now we can talk whether we are in car, bus, train or
airplane.
Mobile phones have received overwhelming response from all across the world. Now
everyone has a mobile phone. It is useful for all. A businessman uses it to keep in touch with his
clients, customers, his workers and other associates affiliated to him. It has contributed to his
business expansion. Even green grocer and plumber have a mobile phone. It helps them in their
business dealings. Almost all the big cities are well-connected by the mobile phones. Even in
remote villages mobile facility is available. Many big companies have come in this field. Severe
competition among them has caused to a fall in the prices of the instrument and cost of the
services as well. As a result, now even middle class and lower middle class people find it
convenient to afford mobile. This has led to increase the value of business in Pakistan.
The mobile phone market in Pakistan is booming day by day. Pakistan being a big market
offers tremendous business opportunities. Big multinationals from across the world are rushing
to Pakistan. This has made the market good in favour of the customers. It along with many other
factors has brought the prices down.
Mobile phones have particular value during the time of an emergency, such as an
accident, robbery, murder or sudden serious illness. Today mobile, which once was a luxury, has
become a necessity. We cannot think of life without mobile phones. Today man, woman, elderly
person even school-going and college-going children make use of mobiles.
The latest mobile phone has many more facilities. It has a music system, video game,
recorder, speaker, camera and even internet facility available in it. A mobile phone user can use
it as a recorder. It is of great facility to the media persons. They no longer need to carry a
camera, recorder, speaker, etc. An executive can deal his business even while they are far from
their work place. It has removed the boredom particularly during travelling.
Mobile phone has some negative impact on society. It has facilitated the task of anti-
social elements. The underworld and the criminals carry on their business sitting far away with
great ease and convenience. Mobiles phones have adversely affected the reading habits
particularly of the young students. The time they should devote to some light reading, they enjoy
video games. It has affected social interaction. Through mobile phones they send greetings and
good wishes to their dear ones and share their feelings rather than their personal contact.
However, mobile phones are wonderful inventions of science. It is up to the users, how
they use of them. If used properly, they are indeed a boon to us.
rather it is considered to be underdeveloped and poorly managed. Currently the country is facing
severe energy crisis. This shortage is badly hampering the economic growth of Pakistan.
Over the years there is greater need of energy because of;
Increase in population,
Enhancement in lifestyle
Industrial and agricultural growth
Greater transportation needs
Energy is pivotal for running all other resources and crisis of energy directly influences
all other sectors of the economy. The economic progress is hampered by decline in agricultural
productivity as well as by halting in operations of industries. Agricultural productivity of
Pakistan is decreasing due to provision of energy for running tube wells, agricultural machinery
and production of fertilizers and pesticides. Thus higher energy means higher agricultural
productivity.
Nearly all Industrial units are running with the energy and breakage in energy supply is
having dire consequences on industrial growth. Energy crisis contributes towards
unemployment. Load shedding is primarily related to the domestic usage of energy (cooking,
heating and water provision). Load shedding cause unrest and frustration amongst the people and
results in agitation against the government. The students can study properly at night. Declination
in economic growth, lower agricultural productivity, unemployment and shackling industrial
growth are increasing poverty. Currently, around forty percent of our population is living beyond
poverty line and this ratio is increasing day by day.
Energy Crisis has, more or less, plagued all sectors of Pakistan’s machinery ranging from
economy to industry, agriculture to social life, inflation to poverty and it is hampering national
progress in a drastic manner. Nonetheless, menace of energy crisis can be overwhelmed by
government through making effective policies. Simultaneously, it is the responsibility of us, the
people of Pakistan, to utilize the available energy astutely and wisely to play our due role for
progress of the country.
Eid is an Arabic word it means festival. There are two big festivals in Muslim culture. Eid
ul Fitr and Eid ul Adha. On the day of Eid people enjoy and express happiness and offer prayers
in the form of group.....usually they gather in an Open land or in a Mosque and pray in
congregation and ask Allah for His blessing, forgiveness of all sins and ask for success in this
life and hereafter. So it is clear that Eid celebration is not only an expression of our happiness
but also it expresses the spiritual happiness. After Eid prayers and meeting on the occasion of
Eid, people hug each other. Eid is the time to spread happiness, love and triumph thereby
creating enthusiasm among all the members of family.
Role Of Media
Outline:
The Introduction
Functions Of Media
Media Has Become Almost As Necessary As Food And Clothing
Media Is A Cutting Edge Weapon For Shaping Opinion And Perception
Media Is A Great Source Of Entertainment
The Conclusion
Current media has proved that it is the fourth pillar of a democratic state by exposing the
issues of accountability and good governance. Media performs very important functions in the
society. In modern democratic nation state system it is considered as the fourth pillar of the state
whose functions are indispensible for the smooth and effective functioning of a society. It is the
dire need of today’s globalized people to be aware of their surroundings. Therefore everyone
gets information through easy accessible sources of media. Mainly mass media is involved in
providing latest information about whole world, national, and local events. Both print and
electronic media provides important function of influencing public opinion, informing with
recent developments on all issues, surveillance, determining the political agenda, criticism,
awareness, and social & moral development of society. Media performs crucial functions in a
society, but some time its role may turned negative.
In the world of today, media has become almost as necessary as food and clothing. It is
true that media is playing an outstanding role in strengthening the society; it’s a mirror of the
society. Its duty is to inform, educate and entertain the people. There are numerous but vital roles
media performs in society. Of these roles major are discussed in following paragraphs. Media
has revolutionized the society by educating people on different local, national, international,
social, economical and political issues, list does not end here, it is the media who has and is
educating the people about their constitutional and human rights.
Media is often considered cutting edge weapon for shaping opinion, perception. On the
basis of information it provides, public forms opinion and perception. When media publish or
telecast any information it becomes the general opinion of the people about any issue. Today
media is used as global opinion maker; both electronic and print media is purchased to shape the
perception and opinion of the people. Millions of dollars across the world are spent on the media
campaigns, publicities and advertisements Therefore media is called as mirror of society. Media
also educates the public. It is not mandatory that only educated and learned people watch TV or
read newspapers, because now it is easy for even an unlearned and illiterate people to be aware
of its surroundings.
Educational and entertaining programs can help learning the new trends of society. In
remote areas external news service of radio is considered a great source of education. Media is
the watch dog of the political democracy. If it plays its role honestly, it will be a great force in
building the nation. However, reality is reversed in modern media; it is observed that newspapers

and TV channels are mouthpiece of some political parties. As media is opinion maker,
advocating and promoting any particular party may be a deception with general public.
Similarly, international media is promoting the agenda of few developed countries; it raises
some serious question over their objectivity and impartiality they claim.
Media is fourth pillar, watch dog, agent of social change, influencer, educator, informer,
entertainer, guardian of democracy and many more. These titles clearly define the role of media
in society.
Importance Of Education
Outline:
Love is a great passion
Pakistan is an Islamic Country
We are free from the maltreatment of the Hindus
Army, Navy and Pakistani Air Force are the strongest
Conclusion
We all know the importance of education. It is the most important aspect of any nation’s survival
today. Education builds the nations; it determines the future of a nation. So that’s why we have
to adopt our Education Policies very carefully because our future depends on these policies.
ISLAM also tells us about Education and its importance. The real essence of Education
according to ISLAM is “to know ALLAH” but I think in our country we truly lost. Neither our
schools nor our madrassa’s are truly educating our youth in this regard. In schools, we are just
preparing them for “Money”. We aren’t educating them we are just preparing “Money
Machines”. We are only increasing the burden of the books for our children and just enrolling
them in a reputed, big school for what, just for social status. On the other hand in our madrassas
we are preparing people who find very difficult to adjust in the modern society. Sometimes it
seems that they are from another planet.
It is crystal clear that Islamic Education is necessary for Muslims but it is also a fact that without
modern education no one can compete in this world. There are many examples of Muslim
Scholars who not only study the Holy Quran but also mastered the other subjects like Physics,
Chemistry, Biology, Astronomy and many more, with the help of Holy Quran. I think with the
current education system we are narrowing the way for our children instead of widening it.
There is no doubt that our children are very talented, both in schools and in madrassas, we just
need to give them proper ways to groom, give them the space to become Quaid-E-Azam
Muhammad Ali Jinnah, Allama Iqbal, Sir Syed Ahmed Khan, Alberoni, Abnalhasam, or
Einstein, Newton, Thomas Edison.
Edward Everett said that “Education is a better safeguard of liberty than a standing army.” Sadly,
in Pakistan we are spending more budgets on our arms than on education which depicts our
ideology about education!!! Since 1947 not a single government is able to change this scenario.
In price of a grenade almost 20 to 30 children can go to school for the whole year and the other
picture…. a grenade can kill 20 to 30 grown people. So a grenade is damaging in two ways
stopping children education and then killing innocent people!!! Why not authorities think about
this? Answer…. we all know that!!! Don’t we?
Now let’s talk about our Policy Makers, it seems they are not working enough. Every year policy
for education is reviewed by the government but the results are same…. Illiteracy rate is going
upwards in Pakistan according to a recent survey. The rulers are playing with our nation for the
last 60 years just for their on profits and aims. We should and we have to think about our

SOLVED COMPREHENSION
Read the following passage and answer the question given at the end:
A life of action and danger moderates the dread of death. It not only gives us fortitude to bear
pain, but teaches us at every step the precarious tenure on which we hold our present being.
Sedentary and studious men are the most apprehensive on this score. Dr. Johnson was an
instance in point. A few years seemed to him soon over, compared with those sweeping
contemplations on time and infinity with which he had been used to pose himself. In the still life
of a man of letters there was no obvious reason for a change. He might sit in an arm chair and
pour out cups of tea to all eternity would it had been possible for him to do so. The most rational
cure after all for the inordinate fear of death is to set a just value on life. If we mere wish to
continue on the scene to indulge our head-strong humour and tormenting passions, we had better
be gone at once,; and if we only cherish a fondness for existence according to the good we desire
from it, the pang we feel at parting which it will not be very server.
Questions:
1. Suggest a suitable title for the passage.
2. What type of people are afraid of death and why?
3. How can we get rid of the fear of death?
4. What idea do you form about Dr. Johnson from this passage?
5. Make a précis of the passage.
SOLUTION:
i) Suitable Title: The fear if death.
ii) People who spend much time sitting and studying are the most afraid of death. Because
they lead a peaceful life and want no change the situation.
iii) The most sensible way of getting rid of the fear if death is to value life properly. We
should know that our hold upon life is very risky and that we may die any moment.
iv) From this passage we learn that Dr. Johnson was afraid of death. He led a peaceful life
and wanted no change. He was fond of tea.
v) Summary or précis.
If we lead an active life facing dangers, we will less fear death. People, who lead a lazy and
peaceful life, are the most afraid of death. The most sensible way of getting rid of the fear of
death is to value life properly. If we do not give unnecessary importance to our life, we will
not feel the pang of death.
Sample Comprehension No 1
It is physically impossible for a well-educated, intellectual, or brave man to make money the
chief object of his thoughts just as it is for him to make his dinner the principal object of them.
All healthy people like their dinners, but their dinner is not the main object of their lives. So all
healthy minded people like making money ought to like it and enjoy the sensation of winning it;
it is something better than money. A good soldier, for instance, mainly wishes to do his fighting
well. He is glad of his pay—very properly so and justly grumbles when you keep him ten years
without it—till, his main mission of life is to win battles, not to be paid for winning them. The
clergyman's objects are essentially baptized and preach not to be paid for preaching. They like
fees no doubt—ought to like them; yet if they are brave and well-educated the entire object to
their lives is not fees. They on the whole, desire to cure the sick; and if they are good doctors and
the choice were fairly to them, would rather cure their patient and lose their fee than kill him and
get it. And so with all the other brave and rightly trained men: their work is first, their fee
second—very important always; but still second.
Précis:
Money-making is a common attraction in life. But it cannot be the principal aim of well
educated, cultured and brave man. A brave soldier prizes honour and victory more than his pay.
A good clergyman is more interested in the moral welfare of his people than his returns. A
doctor (good) values the care of his patient far more than his fees. Thus with all the well-
educated, intellectual persons, their work is first, money next.
Sample Comprehension No 2
Home is the young, who known "nothing of the world and who would be forlorn and sad, if
thrown upon it. It is providential, shelter of the weak and inexperienced, who have to learn as yet
to cope with the temptations which lies outside of it. It is the place of training of those who are
not only ignorant, but have not yet learnt how to learn, and who have to be taught by careful
individual trail, how to set about profiting by the lessons of teacher. And it is the school of
elementary studies—not of advances, for such studies alone can make master minds. Moreover,
it is the shrine of our best affections, the bosom of our fondest recollections, at spell upon our
after life, a stay for world weary mind and soul; wherever we are, till the end comes. Such are
attributes or offices of home, and like to these, in one or other sense or measure, are the
attributes and offices of a college in a university.
Précis:
Home shelters the young who are weak and unexperienced and unable to face the temptations in
life. It is a centre of their elementary education and a nursery of sweet affections and pleasant
memories. Its magic lasts forever. A weary mind turns to it for rest. Such is the function of a
home and in some measure of the university.

neglected throughout the country and why the establishment has allowed private sector with its
tails up to introduce another standard of education. Parents are scared _______________about
their children and they even do not allow their children to be admitted in public sector school,
they prefer their child to get education in private sector as, it suits them more. This does not
mean that public sector schools are not producing the cream of the future, most of our genius and
sages who are imparting _______________their valuable services, are outcome of public sector
schools. The only submitted reason by their parents is lack of management in public sector
schools. The well management is offered at private schools. The relation between teacher and
student is sacred. Children are taught social and moral etiquettes _______________with more
comfort at private schools, the behaviour of teachers is quite frank and the student can come in
direct contact to their teachers. On some scale, this is true that contact between learner and
learned lacks in public sectors but the thing they are learning must be the same for both sectors, I
mean the curricula. The Curriculum Board has been established but it has allowed private sector

is too different to be compared. Here, students face many complications by studying under
different curricula. This has created a big rift _______________between the two sectors.
QUESTUIONS:
1) Why is our education system called Orphan Child?
2) Why do the parents prefer private institutes for their children?
3) What is the same in both the sectors?
4) What do you suggest for our education system?
5) SUGGEST A SUITABLE TITLE FOR THE COMPREHENSION AND MAKE A PRECIS OF THE ABOVE PASSAGE.
Parts of Speech
There are thousands of words in any language. But not all words have the same job. For example,
some words express "action". Other words express a "thing". Other words "join" one word to another
word. These are the "building blocks" of the language. Think of them like the parts of a house. When we
want to build a house, we use concrete to make the foundations or base. We use bricks to make the walls.
We use window frames to make the windows, and door frames to make the doorways. And we use
cement to join them all together. Each part of the house has its own job. And when we want to build a
sentence, we use the different types of word. Each type of word has its own job. We can categorize
English words into 9 basic types or classes. These classes are called "parts of speech".
Noun Nouns are words for people, places, and things. A noun functions as the subject of a sentence or a
clause, and the object of a verb or a preposition.
Pronoun A pronoun is used in place of a noun or nouns. Common pronouns include he, her, him, I, it,
me, she, them, they, us, and we.
Verb Verb tells about the action or the state of any noun or subject. This means that Verbs show what
the subject is doing or what is the state or situation of the subject.
Adverb Adverbs are words that are used in sentences to describe or change the meaning of a Verb or
Adjective or even another Adverb. They add description to the sentence to make it more detailed and
interesting.
Adjective Adjectives are words that are used to describe (what kind of?) nouns and pronouns and to
quantify (how much of?) and identify (which one?) them. In a nutshell, Adjectives are what define nouns
and give them characteristics to differentiate them from other nouns.
Preposition A prepositional phrase is a group of words containing a preposition, a noun or
pronoun object of the preposition, and any modifiers of the object. A preposition sits in front of
(is “pre-positioned” before) its object.
Conjunction A conjunction is a word which connects two words or clauses or sentences and shows the
relation between them.
Interjection A part of speech which is used to express the strong feelings of pleasure, sorrow and
wonder.
Article An article modifies a noun or an adjective.

ایک تاریخ دان اپنے دور کی کمکل اور سچی تصویر پیش کرتا ہے۔ وہ کچھ بھی غلط نہیں لکھتا وہ کوئی بات نہیں دہراتا ہے۔ وہ
کسی شخص کے خالف تعصب نہیں رکھتا ہے۔ بعض اوقات دو تاریخ دان ایک دسرے سی اتفاق نہیں کرتے۔ وہ ایک ہی منظر کو
دیکھ کر مختلف اندا میں با ٓیان کرتے ہیں۔ درحقیقت ایک تاریخ دان بھی انسان ہوتا ہے نہ کہ مشین۔ انسان بھی ایک دوسرے سے
مختلف ہوتے اور چیزوں کا تجزیہ بھی مختلف نقطہ نگاہ سے کرتے ہیں۔ لہہزا ایک تاریخ دان کی تحریربھی اس کی شخصیت
سے جدا نہیں ہوتی۔
A historian presents a complete and true picture of his age. He does not write anything wrong. He
does not repeat anything. He does not have prejudice against any person. Sometime two good
historians do not agree with each other. They see the same scene but express different stories.
Actually, the historians are also human beings not machines. Men are different from one another
and assess the things from different angles. So the personality of a historian does not absent from
his writing.

Air pollution is a big problem of the 21 century. The world is worried about it from the mid of the
20th century. Its main reason is the excessive use of machines, growth in population and the lack of
forests. Man installed machines at the place of trees. Built the houses and filled the air with smoke.
Man affected his health with the smoke of buses and cars. Now the earth is warming. There is no
pure air in the cities now a day.
