Paragraphs
1- My School
I read in Govt. High School 203/RB Manawala Faisalabad. It is situated on the

Lahore road. The building of my school is very grand and beautiful. It attracts the
attention of the onlookers. There is a beautiful grassy lawn amidst the school
building. At the north of the grassy lawn, a double story building stands with
majesty and grace. On its west, there is Science Room, a Dispensary and eight
class rooms for 9th and 10th classes. The Headmaster’s Office, the Clerk’s office
and the staff room for the teachers lie in the west of the main entrance. The main
entrance of the School is worth seeing. It looks like an entrance of a great
institution of higher rank. On entering the school, one is stunned to see the grace
and beauty of the building as well the flowery lawn located in the centre of the
school building. My school has always shown a good result. All the teachers are
highly educated and learned persons. They teach the students with love and
devotion. They never miss their period. All the students are neat and clean. They
always add to the beauty of the school due to their neat and clean uniform.
2- Girl Guides
Girl Guide Movement was started by Lord Baden Powel and his sister
Lady Agnes in 1910. The main purpose of this movement is to make the school-
going girls aware of their duties. It develops in them a sense of good citizenship.
It helps them to acquire the power of observation and of judgement and makes
03217805595, 03027001680 Page 17
them self-reliant. It creates in them faithfulness for others. The Girl Guides hold
rallies and thus sometimes in camps away from home. There they meet guides
from different parts of the country. Sometimes they come into contact with the
Guides coming from foreign countries. In this way they have a chance to
understand the people of various countries. This creates the feeling of unity,
discipline and sacrifice for the common good. The Guides do a lot of useful work
in times of emergency and war. They donate blood to the injured and the
patients. Thus they shape their moral and social character. They are the useful
member of the society.
3- A Visit to a Museum
Museum is a place where rare and old things are kept. There is a big
museum in Lahore. Last Monday, I went to see the Museum with my brother. It is
situated in front of the Hall on the Mall. We bought tickets at the gate and went in.
it is a spacious building and has several big halls. Each hall has curious things. In
one big hall we saw pictures of the past kings of India. They were drawn by the
artists of the past. In another hall, we saw the arms and weapons which were
used in the battle field in the time of Mughals. We also saw samples of dresses
and uniform, worn by soldiers, generals and kings in the time of war. In another
hall, we saw statues of Buddha. We also saw a model of Taj Mahal. We spent
much time in seeing statues, ornaments and other things dug out from Taxla. We
also saw Biological Section. There were dead snakes, birds, insects and beasts.
They were stuffed with cotton and looked like living one. These things added to
our knowledge. Then we came back home tired but happy.
4- A Visit to Hospital
Last Sunday, I went to the hospital to see one of my close friends. He was
injured in an accident and was admitted to hospital. There was a great rush of
visitors during the visiting hours. The condition of the patients in the General
Ward was very miserable. Some of the patients were crying with pain. Some
were lying in their beds unconscious. They were being attended on properly. The
nurses on duty were very polite and active. They were moving from bed to bed to
look after the patients. They were helping the patients in taking their medicines

03217805595, 03027001680 Page 18
when and where necessary. The condition of the patients in the Emergency Ward
was also very pitiable. Seriously ill and injured patients were being carried to this
ward. I stayed there for some time. I saw for the first time a tragic and real aspect
of life. Everybody, in the hospital, was repenting his sins and praying to Allah
Almighty to have mercy on him. The condition of my friend was out of danger. He
was recovering rapidly. I returned home with sad mood. The miserable scenes
and sights of the suffering of the patients are still in my mind. I always pray for the
restoration of the health of all the patients. The visit to hospital taught me the
lesson of humility which I could not have understood otherwise.
5- Fashions
This is an age of fashions. It has become common in our society. The

attraction of fashion is very strong in our cities. New generation runs after fashion
blindly. Everyone wants to be smart and up to date. Women get crazy in following
the current fashions. Radio, T.V. and newspapers become are a major source of
fashions. Especially the advertisements capture the attention of the youngsters.
They affect even the middle and lower class of the people. Today fashions are
not a matter of money or wealth. The middle class youngsters equally follow the
fashions. They are not less interested than the rich. Now all are victim of fashion.
The garments and cosmetic industry, and their attractive advertisements play an
important role in the spread of fashion. In this way a lot of money is wasted on
fashions. Modern wears, powders, perfumes, fabrics, footwear, furniture, fast
food and thrilling video films have become popular fashions. Fashion spreads
very quickly. But being Muslims, we should be moderate. We should not adopt
fashions blindly. Our religion teaches us to lead a simple and clean life. Our
women should not forget Parda while following the fashions. We should follow the
teachings of Islam. We can adopt fashions within the limits of Islam. Then our life
will be easy and contented.
6- A River in Flood
Last year it rained heavily on the mountains. The level of water rose very
high in the lake of Mangla Dam. In order to save the dam, the gates of the dam
were opened. This caused a great flood in the river Ravi. The water began to flow

03217805595, 03027001680 Page 19
over the river banks. All the towns and villages badly affected by the flood water.
The flow of the water on plain areas was very fast. It rushed forcefully onwards.
Nothing could stand on its way. It pulled down many houses. It also destroyed
crops. Many men, women, children and animals were swept away. Every body
was terrified. The people were trying to save them as well as their animals. Some
people took refuge on the second storeys of the houses. Many men, women,
children and animals lost their lives in the flood. We saw dead bodies of the cattle
floating in the water. Rescue teams reached there to save the people. Relief
Camps were also set up. Medical aid was given to the sufferers. It was a very
horrible incident.
7- A Dream
Every body in this world have dreams at night. Dreams are pleasant as
well unpleasant. Whenever I enjoy sound sleep, I often have some dream. But
last night I had a horrible dream. It was a nightmare. I found myself in a garden.
There were beautiful flowers of different colours. A strong wind was blowing. I
plucked a few flowers. All of a sudden, I saw a black long snake. I got nervous.
The flowers fell from my hands. The drops of sweat appeared on my forehead.
The snake turned to me and tried to bite me. I ran towards my home. On the way
there was a room. Its door was wide open. The snake was running after me. I
entered the room and shut the door. Then I saw the snake crawling down the
ventilators into the room. I gave a loud shriek in fear. I woke up. I thanked God
that it was a dream. I tried to sleep but I could not. I recited the Ayat-ul-Kursi.
Then I felt peace. I cannot forget this horrible dream.
8- An Industrial Exhibition
An exhibition is a public show of art. An industrial exhibition was held in

Hockey stadium Faisalabad. I went to see the exhibition with my friends. We
bought tickets and entered the stadium. Many stalls were set up there.
Thousands of industrial goods were displayed there. There were textile and
electrical products. Many stalls had agricultural products, crockery and
embroidered clothes. Stalls of cosmetics, toys, and shoes were very attractive.
There was a great rush of people at the food stalls. The children were enjoying

03217805595, 03027001680 Page 20
the merry-go-round and magic shows. We bought a beautiful camera, a blanket

and a computer. It was a very useful exhibition. We enjoyed it very much.
9- My Neighbour
Good neighbours are a blessing of God. I live in a colony. The people who
live here are educated. We can choose our friends but cannot choose our
neighbours. We have to live with them whether we like them or not. Fortunately
my next door neighbour is a very gentleman. His name is Ali. He is a doctor. He
is very respectful to his elders. He is very sincere friend. He is very kind to his
patients. He gives free medicine to the poor. He helps everyone in the locality
selflessly. His wife is also a very sociable lady. They have two sons and a
daughter. They are very lovely. Mr. Ali is very popular with the other people of the
colony. All the young and the old respect him. We often enjoy his company. We
also invite him to our functions. He shares our sorrows. He is very rich but he is
not proud. He always advises me to work hard. I like him very much.
10-A Meena Bazaar
A meena bazaar is a very interesting and colourful function. It is held every

year in our school. The headmistress, the staff and the pupils work together in
this function. A few days ago, a meena bazaar was held in our school. It was held
to collect money for the Red Crescent Society. The whole show was managed by
us under the supervision of our teachers. The girls of class Ten had prepared
chaat, pakoras, kababs and other kinds of refreshment. They set up their stalls
and sold these things to the visitors who were all women. Fruit chaat, shami
kababs and chicken-sticks were in great demand. Our teachers too had their own
stalls where they sold bangles, handkerchiefs, hair pins and many other things. It
was a great fun. The girl customers tried little tricks with the stall-holders. The
stall holders kept an eye on the naughty customers. All the things were sold out
in a short time. There was a very interesting variety show in the afternoon. One of
our teachers juggled with seven balls without dropping a single one. Four small
girls presented a play which was liked by all the visitors. In the end our
headmistress thanked the visitors and distributed the prizes among participants.
Everybody came back home happy.

03217805595, 03027001680 Page 21
11-A Road Accident
One day I was travelling from Faisalabad to Lahore. As our bus reached
Shahkot, I saw a crowd of people. The driver stopped the bus. All the passengers
got down the bus. Actually a car had run into a bus. The driver of the bus tried to
avoid the accident but he could not control the bus. The bus turned turtle. The
young persons were busy in dragging out the passengers. Four persons were
found dead. Some had received serious injuries. The car driver was also very
seriously injured. The dead and the injured were rushed to the nearest hospital.
There was blood everywhere on the road. The condition of some of the injured
was very bad. The doctors and nurses attended them at once. They dressed their
wounds and gave them medicines. They tried their best to save the lives of the
seriously injured persons. The police arrived at the spot. A police officer recorded
the statements of the persons present at the spot. The sight of the accident was
very horrible. May God save us from such incidents.
12-A Fortune Teller
A fortune teller tells the people about their fortune. He is often found in big
cities of Pakistan. He is often seen sitting on a footpath. He has some books,
card in a basket, a pencil and a few sheets of paper. He pretends to be a great
scholar of astronomy and know everything about the movement of stars. He
cheats the simple people. Villagers, illiterate men and women and poor people
are his victims. They come to him to find out the causes of their problems and
their possible solutions. The fortune teller is a very clever and talkative person. In
fact, he is a great psychologist. He guesses the problems of the people and gives
them some hopeful solutions. A fortune teller is a big fraud. He examines the
lines on the palm of the person. He tells him many things about his luck. He tells
lies shamelessly. He shakes the people’s faith in God. He satisfies his customers
with his calculations. He fleeces the people. The people should be too educated
to fall a victim of the fortune tellers.
13-Basant

03217805595, 03027001680 Page 22
Basant has become a very popular festival of our country. It is celebrated

in Spring Season. It is also the part of Jashn-e-Baharan. The people of big cities
celebrate it with great joy. The people of Lahore are especially interested in it.
Kite-flying is their favourite hobby. This event is full of pleasure for them. It is the
major event of Basant. The young and the old all like to fly kites. The young boys
and girls go on to the roofs of their houses. The people also gather in the
playgrounds and lawns on the day of Basant. Loud speakers and some musical
instruments are also used to express the joy. The people try to cut the thread of
the kite of one another with the sharp cord of their kites. If a kite is cut off its cord,
there are shouts of “Bo-kata”. At night flood lights are used to make festival more
attractive. The cut-away kite is followed by many boys to catch it. They try to
catch it even at the risk of their life. Kite-flying is a very dangerous hobby. Many
kite fliers fall down from the roofs of their houses. Some of them lose their loves.
It is only the wastage of money, time and lives. It is useless activity. It must be
banned by the government.
14-A Picnic
Last week the Headmaster of our school decided to take our class to Jallo
Park for a picnic. All the students were taken there by bus. We reached in the
park at 8.30 am. The scene at Jallo looked like a big fair. We selected a place
near the Jallo Lake and spread a big carpet there. We placed our lunch boxes
there and went around the park in groups. We enjoyed the swings in the park and
swimming in the lake. The students entertained us with tit-bits and jokes. At 12.30
pm we assembled and sat on the carpet for lunch. After this we took some rest
and again dispersed to enjoy ourselves. Some students were enjoying songs on
their cell phones. Others were making photos with their cameras. At about 4.00
pm we again gathered at the appointed place. Now were served with light
refreshments. The time passed quickly. The sun was about to set now. We
started for our home journey. It was a memorable picnic. We cannot forget its
pleasures.
15- A Street Quarrel

03217805595, 03027001680 Page 23
One day I was coming back from my school. As I was passing through the
street, I saw a large number of people gathered there. There was a great noise.
Some gentlemen and ladies seemed excited. The women were abusing each
other from behind the doors. The men seemed in high temper. One of the men
was in high rage and wanted to beat the opponent woman, but the other men
standing in the street tried to hold him. Meanwhile a woman struck him with a rod
from behind. In response to it, the women from the other side attacked this
woman. They were dragging her into the street. They grasped her hair and pulled
her hair with force. The other women in the street rushed to them and freed the
women from their clutches. At this a man from the opposite side got forward and
was about to hit the attacker women, but the people standing there seized him.
The people pacified both the parties. Thus the dispute came to an end. These
kinds of dispute often occur due to illiteracy and impatience
.16- A visit to Historical Place
We paid a visit to the Tomb of Jahangir one day. A wonderful scene met
our eyes as we entered the main gate. A majestic marble building stood in the
middle of a vast well-kept garden. In it there were rows of Cyprus trees and
beautiful flower-beds. Fountains played in a tank as well as in the one-foot deep
and four-foot wide canals running between the foot-paths. We walked about for
some time and then we entered the marble building to have a look at the grave of
the great Mughal Emperor, Jahangir. We prayed for him, before we came out. At
every corner of this building stands a beautiful minaret. We went up one of these.
We were surprised to see only three minarets of the Badshahi Mosque. We came
down after a few minutes and returned home full of great praise for the wonderful
skill of the Mughal engineers of the past.
17- A Visit to Zoo
My cousin and I went to the zoo yesterday. We saw a fountain playing in

front of the main gate. We joined the crowd of visitors in going round the cages of
stags, rabbits, pigeons, parrots and sparrows. Then we saw monkeys and
baboons. We threw some grams into their cages, and they ate these with great
joy. The children were making faces at them. The monkeys were jumping from

03217805595, 03027001680 Page 24
one place to another. The people were making mischief with them. We did not
like to see wolves, jackals, bears and foxes. So we went over to the other side to
have a look at an elephant. Not far from there, we saw it playing with grass.
There were peacocks of different colours. We saw the graceful zebras with black
stripes. Then we went further to see lions, tigers and leopards. We had yet to see
ducks and cranes, when we heard the bell. So we left the zoo and returned
home.
18- Allama Iqbal
Allama Iqbal is my favourite author and poet. He was one of the greatest
thinkers of his age. He was born at Sialkot in 1870. He completed his study of the
Holy Quran in his boyhood. He was a good student. His professor of Persian and
Urdu in the Murray College Sialkot, Sayyed Mir Hassan greatly helped him
develop his talent. He got his M.A. from the Government College, Lahore. He
went to Europe for higher studies and returned home as a barrister. He gained
great reputation as a poet with message for the Muslims. He awakened the
Muslims of the subcontinent from the deep sleep of nothingness. He made the
Muslims active by his verses. All the Muslims of the world get inspiration from his
poetry. He gave the idea of Pakistan in 1930. The Quaid-i-Azam turned his
dream into reality. He passed away in Lahore on the 21st of April, 1938. He was
buried near the stairs of the Badshahi Mosque Lahore.
19- The Teacher I like The Most (The Best)
Abdullah sb. is my best teacher. I like him most of the other teachers. He
is M.A. English, B.Ed. He is tall and healthy. He wears neat and clean dress. He
says his prayers five times a day. He is a true religious person. He is very
punctual and regular. He teaches us English. He is very hard working. He
teaches us with love and care. He never misses his period. He is a perfect
gentleman. He reaches school ten minutes before the bell goes. He has great
knowledge of English grammar and his method of teaching is simple but very
good. We learn very easily what he teaches us. He discusses our common

03217805595, 03027001680 Page 25
mistakes in the class room. Sometimes he punishes the work-shirkers and

naughty boys. But there is always lesson in his punishment. He takes keen and
personal interest in the welfare of the students. He is very kind and sympathetic.
May he live long! Amen!
20- A House on Fire
I was getting ready to go to bed last night. All of a sudden I heard a great
noise. I came out into the street in hot haste. There was a lot of rush of people
there in the street. The people were crying rescue. I was surprised to see clouds
of smoke rising from the house of a friend of mine. I rang up the fire-brigade at
once. It arrived there without any loss of time. Some of its members started
throwing water over the house with a hose-pipe. Other put up a ladder against a
wall to go up. They brought down the inmates of the house one by one. They also
brought down as many trunks and suit-cases, boxes and other things as they
could. Mean while the fire was brought under control. It could not be controlled
without the help of the people and the fire brigade. Thank God, there was no loss
of life, but the damage to property was estimated at Rs.50, 000.
The End
