I am very fond of reading books. Therefore, I spend much of my spare
time in the college library. I sit there for hours, read books and avail
myself of the great world scholars. Sometime I wonder why most of the
students do not visit the library and why it remained deserted. If the
students become fond of reading, our country will make progress by
leaps and bounds.

A man holds his fate in his hand. He can make it good or bad. A man
can achieve a high status in life by hard work. At times, he fails in any
of his efforts but success and failure go hand in hand in life. If success
delights us, failure teaches us a lesson. We should work hard. ALLAH
rewards us for our labor.

Socrates was a famous philosopher. He lived in Athens. The youth of
Athens gathered around him and listened to whatever he said. Socrates

advised them to speak the truth and live a pure life. Some people said
that Socrates misguided the people. They sued Socrates. Socrates
refused to be stopped from speaking the truth. He was sentenced to
death. After sometime, he was given a bowl of poison. He drank the
bowl of poison fearlessly and died. We should also adopt such habits to
become immortal so that the coming generation may remember us.

Allama Iqbal felt very sad about the poverty of Muslims. He urged the
Muslims of India to gain freedom. He infused a new into the nation
through his poetry. He urged the Muslims to action. His poetry is full of
hopefulness. He demanded a new motherland for the Muslims of India.

Books are a wonderful blessing. When the cloud of gloom and sorrow
darken our life, they like a true friend, consol us with great words. They
never leave us alone. But we should be very careful in the selection of
books. Some books are more poisonous than a snake and more
dangerous than a scorpion. We should always read good and useful
books.

The following steps can prove to be helpful for the eradication of
corruption from society. First, the government should take solid steps for
the growth of education. Second, the government should improve the
economic condition for the country. Better economic condition will
make an end to poverty from society. In this regard, the government
should encourage investment. Beside this, severe punishment should be
inflected upon the corrupt people. Department of anti-corruption should
be made quick and effective for the eradication of corruption.

Hepatitis is an infectious disease. It damages liver. If it becomes chronic,
it may prove to be nasty and even fatal. The virus of this disease enters a
body and keeps on damaging the liver. Consequently the liver shrinks or
it cause liver-cancer. A big cause of this deadly disease is polluted
water.

Quaid-e-Azam had passionate love for democracy. He hated all types of
dictatorship. He valued the basic human rights. He asked the nation to
criticize the government if it commits a mistake. He believed that fair
criticism was necessary for the well-being of the nation. Quaid e Azam
never abused or threatened his criticizer.

Today education is more common than ever before. Even the poorest
boy can get education in college and university. But despite all the
facilities, the standard of education has become very low. The reason
behind this is that students do not take interest in education. Some

students do not study at all and some others buy helping books near the

appear in the paper of examination, they definitely succeed otherwise
they fail.

It is a common belief that science is a mixed blessing. It has various
advantages and disadvantages. However, its advantages are more in
number than disadvantages. It has caused death threat against human
life. This threat is an atomic war. Lethal weapons are the upshot of
science. Though the world is trying to resolve the disputed issues
through peaceful dialogues, it is on the verge of total destruction. For all
the countries are socially, economically, or religiously linked together.
Any war can turn out to be a world war.

Iqbal was our greatest national poet. He wanted to see the Muslims
prosperous. He was well aware of the bad intentions of the Hindus and
the English. Therefore, he thought that a separate state was necessary for
the Muslims. He helped the Muslims gain self-respect. He reminded
them of their past history. The whole Muslim nation is grateful to him
for the zeal of his.

Bribery and corruption have become a part of our society. They are not
linked to an institution or a particular section of society; rather they
seem to be a vital part of every department and institution. It has
penetrated our very souls. Life is not quite simple now. The middle class
in following the rich has gone astray. Those who do not live within their
resources and desire to become rich overnight soon fall victim to bribery
and corruption.

Health is a great wealth. But when a man is healthy, he does not value
this blessing. He realizes its value when even a mild malady strikes him.
If a part of body suffers from pain, the whole body is affected by it.
Being healthy, a man enjoys eating, strolling and working. Being sick,
he does not enjoy anything. The life of those who remain often ill
becomes a terrible burden not only for them but also for their relations.
Ailment causes not only pain but also medical expenses. An ailing
person becomes a living corpse.

Pakistan was established in the name of Islam. Only Islam can guarantee
its existence. The Pakistanis have many things in common. It is true that
many languages are spoken in Pakistan. These languages are not very
much different from each other. They all are written in one and the same
alphabet. A huge portion of their vocabulary is common. Some people
say that the people of Pakistan belong to various races. It is not true. The
Pakistanis have been living together for centuries. They do not believe in

Indiscipline is increasing in colleges day by day. Students do not pay

head to their studies. They do not respect the teachers. They do not go to
college regularly. They waste their time in useless activities. They do not
take part in co-curricular activities. Many students are tempted into
smoking. It seems as if it was necessary for each student to have a
mobile phone with him. If the teachers and the parents do not meet their
liabilities, the whole education system will be blown to bits.

Today, Pakistan is surrounded by many national and international
problems. Our enemies are ever ready to harm us and we all are well
aware of them. The enemy of the Muslim community is very cunning
and shrewd. We need a sincere, honest and nation-loving leader to
overcome these difficulties. It must be such a leader that could save us
the whirlpool of ruin and pain. After passing so many years, we are still
miles away from our destination. The Muslims need to seek their lost
glory.

Mobile phone is an invention of the present era. It offers countless
advantages. It is the most effective and cheap means of communication.
But it also has some disadvantages. We should discourage its improper
use. To tease other on mobile phones is something extremely
undesirable. We all should abandon its improper use. Those who tease
others cannot be happy themselves.

Urdu is the national language of Pakistan; English is the official
language of Pakistan. In this era, importance of English has increased.
The language is important because the books of current knowledge are
written in this language. In our country, the person who speaks and
writes English is considered to be a scholar. It is necessary to learn
English to go aboard. English is an international language. Some people
dislike this language as it is the language of foreigners. But such people
are few in number.

Knowledge is a great power. By knowledge we get not only material

wealth but also spiritual serenity. In our religion, it is obligatory for
every person to get knowledge. It is such a thing as no one can gain
perfectly. None can discover his ‘self’ without knowledge. And thus
throughout his life, he remains unaware of purpose of life. By getting
knowledge, man can bring about betterment for himself, his society and
nation.

Karachi is an international city. It is the biggest city of Pakistan. It was

made the capital of Pakistan after independence. Later, Islamabad was
made the capital (of Pakistan). But this has not decreased the importance
of Karachi. In fact Karachi is a big and modern port and the trade of the
country depends on it. The airport of Karachi is one of the big airports of
Asia. Life is very hectic and busy here.

We are the youths of Pakistan. We should work hard and do our duties
honestly. We should do such work for our nation and country that
whoever sees us should praise us. We should not be hesitant to sacrifice
our lives for our country at the times of crisis. Get ready for every kind
of sacrifice and shatter the evil intentions of the enemy. In this way, we
should prove to the world that the Pakistanis are a living nation.

It is my village. It is a beautiful village. There are green fields around

the village. It is summer now-a-days. The sun is shining. Many people
have assembled in the wheat fields. They are harvesting the ripe wheat
crop. They are working very hard. It is not easy to work in the blazing
sun but they are very happy. They have got this crop after the labour of
many months. Now they are harvesting the crop. They will separate
wheat from the chaff tomorrow. They will eat wheat themselves and
feed chaff to their animals. Village people are simple and hard-working.

To destroy Pakistan, India has built dams across all the big rivers of
Pakistan. India has succeeded in doing so because the source of these
rivers is in occupied Kashmir. When Pakistan needs water urgently,
India stops our water and when we do not need water, it lets water flow
massively. This cause flood in our areas and our economy gets
destroyed. We should build several dams to solve the water problem.
