4. Write a paragraph a kindness of Rasool (S.A.W).
Ans: Kindness of Rasool (S.A.W):
Mark Twain Said: “Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.”
The Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) taught love, kindness and compassion to his people and was
the most loving, kind and compassionate of all. The Quran mentions his kind and gentle be-
haviour in these words, “O Messenger of Allah! It is great Mercy of God that you are kind and
gentle towards them; for if you had been harsh and hard hearted, then they would all have
broken away from you.” There are many instances that share his kindness, especially to the
weak and poor. Hazrat Anas (R.A) said: “I served Allah’s messenger for ten years and he never
said to me ‘Shame’ or why did you not do such and such a thing.” Prophet himself said: “Allah
is kind and like kindness in all things.”
Kindness is a Gift that everyone can Afford to Give.

to it is also patriotism.

PARAGRAPHS:
1. A VISIT TO A MUSEUM:
Orhan Pamuk said: “Real Museums are places where time is transformed into space.”
The Lahore Museum is an important place where works of arts and other objects of histor-
ical value are kept and displayed. It is an old imposing building with a high ceiling. The incharge
of the museum is called the curator. Our well-informed teacher took us to different sections of the
beautiful museum. There were neatly arranged glass-cases which displayed ancient swords, dag-
gers, garments, ornaments, coins, bows and arrows. The items on display had tags with brief de-
scriptions. Paintings, pictures and clay models were exhibiting ancient craftsmanship. The huge
statue of Queen Victoria laid in one room of the museum. There were old manuscripts of the Holy
Quran in another room. Full size doors and frames with primitive fittings were specimens of rare
woodwork craftsmanship. The impressive display in the museum gave us a wealth of information
and insight into our past. It was a rewarding visit indeed.

2. FASHION
No doubt, it is an age of fashion. The fascination of fashion is particularly very strong in our cities.
Adults as well as teenagers know fully well the social importance of fashion. The craze to look
smart and up-to-date is becoming even stronger. The garment industry, attractive advertising and
films are mainly responsible for this craze. The T.V commercials and the press have also affected
and captured the imagination of the people. Pakistanis working abroad have poured in a lot of
29
money in recent years. Shopping plazas and markets have sprung up everywhere. Foreign designs
and elegant dressmaking are very much in demand. Every week, there are full page colour pictures
Page
of fashion-wears, powders, perfumes and cosmetics. Fabrics, footwear, fast food and video films

have become the fashion of the day. People in cities seem to have given themselves away to shift-
ing fashion. Fashion move like windstorms. The glitter of advertisements makes everything look
like gold. We should be on our guard because all that glitters may not be gold in some cases.
Fashion is the armour to survive the reality of everyday life. (Bill Cunningham)

3. HOW TO KEEP OUR TOWN CLEAN
It is said that: “Cleanliness is next to Godliness.”
Cleanliness is next to godliness. We must give a serious thought to this golden truth. Next and
clean environment has a cheerful effect. It is a sure sign of civilization. Knowledge is a great
blessing of Allah. We are fortunate to have the opportunity to receive education. As school going
boys and girls, it is our responsibility to keep our town clean. We ought to develop civic sense.
We should not throw fruit and vegetable peels all over the street. A banana or melon peel thrown
carelessly on the road may cause a fracture or even death. Plastic, polythene and wooden items
should not be thrown into manholes. A choked gutter spreads filth and stench all over the street.
Life becomes miserable. Spitting is another problem as it causes disease and insanitation. We can
politely prevent one another from spitting on floors. We should not throw hard things or stones
into toilets. We should not be shy of taking a broom an d sweeping the littered portion of the street
in front of our door. We should take care of trees, plants and flower-beds in a park. If we happen
to pass by an unattended running water tap, we should stop and close it. As citizens, we should be
vigilant and report to the municipality if its staff neglects its duty. We can also add to cleanliness
if we sprinkle water on our portion of the road. Dust and pollution can be effectively controlled if
everyone of us lends a helping hand. Allah loves people who practise purity and cleanliness.

4. AN INDUSTRIAL EXHIBITION
“An exhibition gives a unique inside at the science and technology.”
An industrial exhibition was arranged in Islamabad in March last year. The intention of the organ-
izers was to exhibit industrial products at one place. The trading community and the general public
showed keen interest in the products. Accompanied by my elder brother and sisters, I went around
the elegant and brightly lit stalls. Exhibits included textiles and garments, electrical goods, house-
hold items, handicrafts, glass wares, furniture, sewing machines and steeliness steel. The Pakistan
Railway and Wapda had put up informatory stalls. Heavy industrial goods, rollers, water pumps,
tube-well equipment, motors, fertilizers and machinery were also on display. Price of consumer
goods were quite reasonable. Manufacturers were selling their products at reduced rates. Besides,
there were food and entertainment stalls which attracted the cheerful crowd.

DIALOGUE WRITING
1. Dialogue between a teacher and a student.
(Student is late for class. She enters the class room)
Teacher: Hello! You are a bit late today.
Student: Yes, Madam, I am sorry.
Teacher: Well, what happened?
Student: The school bus was right on schedule. It was about to cross the canal bridge when
it came to a halt with a jerk. The tyre had gone flat.
Teacher: I see. It’s none of your fault then!
Student: One thing more, Madam. The driver had no jack with him. He waved to other ve-
hicles but they would not stop. Nobody seemed willing to oblige at this rush hour.
Teacher: Well. What did you do then? You came by another bus. Didn’t you?
Student: No, Madam, we left the bus where it was and walked up to school all the way.
Teacher: Well done! You are a brave girl indeed. Now, girls let us get going with our lesson.\

2. Dialogue between two students regarding Salat.
(Osama finishes his work.)
Osama: Well, now I’d like to take rest for a while. I’ve had my meal, you know.
Salman: I am going to the market. I shall be long.
Osama: No, Namaz first. Have you heard the muezzin’s call for Salat? Don’t you?
Salman: Sure, I do but I am going out. It’s very urgent. My motor bike is out at the gate.
Osama: There is nothing in the world that ought to be more urgent than a Namaz.
Salman: I don’t really understand it. Art is long and life is short. There is so much to do in
the world. There is so much fun-games, sports, T.V., cricket, world cups, videos,
feature films, fun-fairs, shopping loitering and break and break and break. Sorry, I
am going.
Osama: Dear me! Who am I to hold you back? Dear as you are to me, I sincerely wish you
to offer Namaz. Namaz gives us peace, freshness, balance, courage, hope, goodness
in our short life here on the earth, and eternal goodness in the life hereafter.
Salman: Oh, I am sick of your sermons, Osama!
Osama: See, Allah has given us eyes, ears, heart, hands, legs and brain. Salman, you see
such a lovely world is there around us. Great gifts they are! Aren’t they? We must
thank Allah – the Merciful, the Sustainer. As Muslims we offer Namaz and this is
how we thank Allah.
Salman: All right. I fear Allah. I love Him, too, I’ll go with you.
(They both leave for Masjid).

Dear brother,
I hope this letter find you in the best of health and spirits. You have now been promoted
to class nine. It is time for you to decide whether you would like to study humanities, arts or science
subjects. The world has progressed very much in the field of science. If we want to keep pace with
it, we must keep our knowledge of science up-to-date. Everyone should know the basics of science
so I would advise you to study science at least up to matriculation level.
Convey my salaam to your friends.
Yours affectionately
