James Jeans opines that some two thousand million years ago, the pull of a wandering star tore apart the
sun. The pieces fell into the space and began to move around the sun. Those pieces are the planets.
(2) How it that a star seldom finds another star near it?
The writer says that there is a distance of millions of miles among stars. Hence, they seldom come near
one another.
3) What happened when a wandering star came nearer and nearer the sun?
According to James Jeans, when a wandering star came near the sun, its pull raised huge tides on the
sun. The tides rose higher and higher as the star came nearer and nearer.
4. Why is there no life on the stars?
The writer tells us that stars are burning balls of fire. Extremely high temperature on them does not
allow life to appear or exist on stars.
5. How did life come into being on the earth?
The writer says that nothing is known about how life came into being. He opines that first of all a simple
organism appeared. It had the power to multiply. Humans evolved from the humble organisms.
6. Why do we find the universe frightening?
We find the universe frightening because of (i) our extreme loneliness (2) littleness of the earth (3) no
trace of life anywhere in the universe (4) the certainty of end of life due to the cooling of the sun.
7. What is the significance of life on earth?
According to James Jeans, life does not seem to have any place in the universe.
8. What are the conditions necessary for life to exist?
James Jeans says that life can exist in moderate temperature. It burns in high temperature and freezes in
low temperature. That is why life exists only on the earth.
Some students have talent but they suffer from nervous habits. They waste their time in sharpening their

SELECTED ESSAYS
1 - My Favourite Book
I have read many books but my favourite book is the Holy Quran. I study it daily in the morning. I have read
its translation also. It is our holy book. It was revealed to our Holy Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (S.A.W.). It is
written in Arabic. Its language is forceful. It has 30 parahs and 114 Surahs.
The characteristics of the Holy Quran are stated in the verses and hadiths. “The Holy Quran is guidance
and glad tidings for those who believe.” (Al-Baqra,2/97) Hazrat Ali reported that the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.) once
said, “The Holy Quran protects souls who obey it from being ruined and led astray.”
The Holy Quran is a miracle of Allah. Reading it again and again never bores its reader. It is a great
2 - A Match

Sports and games build up our health, character, and foster confidence and cooperation. They teach us
discipline and sportsmanship. They play a major role in the building of a body and training of mind. That is why;
they are considered an essential part of education. There is well-known proverb: A sound body has a sound mind.
Last Friday, a___________ match was played between Star club and Moon club. It was a holiday. I
with some of my friends reached the stadium in time. There was a great rush of people at the booking office. We
got seats with difficulty. There were policemen to control the people. Many hawkers were selling eatables which
were selling like hot cakes. The match started at the fixed time.
Both the teams were in high spirits. They were trying to do their best to carry the day. The supporters of
both teams were shouting and clapping their hands loudly. There were certain moments when each of the teams
had a narrow escape. Both the teams were equally strong. The match ended in a draw.
At the end of match, a prize distribution ceremony was held in the centre of the ground. The chief guest
praised the performance of the players. He gave away prizes to the man of the match. It was an interesting match.
We enjoyed it very much. We happily returned home.
5 - My Hobby
A hobby is an activity which we do for pleasure and recreation but not for money. Hobbies are of
many kinds. But my hobby is stamp-collecting. Stamp collecting has often been called "the hobby of kings and
the king of hobbies”.
It is very cheap as well as interesting hobby. I collect new as well as old stamps. When I was 12 years
old, my uncle presented me an album of stamps on my birthday as a gift. Now I have added three times more. My
father works in embassy. He often sends me stamps of different countries. I have friendly relations with the
postman of the colony. He often provides me the latest stamps of Pakistan and other countries.
I have pen friends all over the world. I exchange stamps with them. I ask them questions about
their countries. I feel very happy to see my stamps. Hence, everyone should have one or two hobbies as a hobby
refreshes as well as entertains.
. The good thing about stamp collecting is that it does not take much time. It gives us a great
opportunity to learn about new countries, currencies, cultures, costumes, customs and climes. It can provide both
entertainment and education. We come to know about another country's geography and history. Stamps collection
is also a practical way to learn the politics, religion, and everyday way of life in different parts of the world..
Pakistan has very good relations with other countries of the world. It is trying to develop in every field.
By the grace of Allah Almighty, it will be a strong power of the world within a short time.. It is making rapid
progress in the fields of agriculture, science, education and technology. It is also making progress in the field of
industry.
Unfortunately, our country is the target of terrorism. Terrorists have spread all across Pakistan. They are
trying to harm Pakistan, but its defense is very strong. Pak Army will root out terrorism.
The people of Pakistan are very hardworking and strong. We love our beautiful country Pakistan from the
core of our heart. It is like a healthy bower for us. It has given us an opportunity to lead our life according to our
world view.
new comers.
The principal came on the stage to address us. He said that the college has a glorious past. It was our duty to
take the traditions forward. He goaded us to take part in debates and sports as well. He advised us not to take part
in politics. Above all, we must abide by the college rules. He promised to solve any problem we might face during
the session.
After his address, I got a copy of the time table from the college office. Then, I went to the college canteen for
a cup a of tea and smosas. The college bell rang. After that I left for home. Ii is said that the journey of a
thousand miles begins with the first step.
