4. I like to prepare for serious work later in my life
5. I need education to help my family
6. I want to become an engineer, doctor, teacher, etc. some day

B. Development
The teacher asks a student to read the story of Aljay
Aljay wants to go to school and learn as much as possible about his country and
the world. But he lives in a remote village. The nearest school is six kilometers away. He
has to walk early in the morning everyday to reach the school before classes begin.
His parents took pity on his hardship and tried to convince him to stop going to
school and wait till a new school is opened nearer to their place. But Aljay said that he
does not mind working hard. He loves to go to school.
Aljay worked hard and finished not just primary and secondary education but
university education as well. He took up an agricultural course in the university. He
came back to his village and started using his knowledge to improve its agricultural
practices. He was successful. The agricultural production in the whole village improved
so much due to his work. Now the people in his village demanded from the government
the establishment of a school near his village. The government agreed to the petition.
Aljay was so happy to see children in his village go to school without the hardship he
experienced. He is now reaping the fruits of his belief in the value of education. He
believes too that he has a right to it.
