1. My Last Day At School
(A Farewell Party)
I shall remember my last day at school throughout my life. It was 2nd
of March. We were bidden farewell by class IX.

It was Sunday. We reached school at 3 P.M. The school hall was

beautifully decorated for the farewell function.

The party began at 4 P.M. For about an hour we ate to our hearts
content, () gossiped () and laughed very much.

The farewell function started at 5 P.M. Mr. Salman, a student of class

X, made a moving () speech in which he mentioned our long and deep
association ()with the school as well as the class. He wished us every
success in future ()

After this speech, I, on behalf of ( ) my class, thanked the

host (). In my speech (), I lauded ()the good arrangements,
()made by the host and accepted their good wishes for all of us. I
was feeling sad because of the separation from my old and august
institution in whose lap ()I got education. For me, it was not merely
()a school, but it was a cradle ()of culture ()and civilization
(). In the end, the reverened ( ) Headmaster made an
impassioned ()speech in which he appealed us to build our mind and
character on sound lines. He advised us to adhere ()to the glorious
()traditions of this institution ().

After his encouraging () speech, the function came to an

end. We left our school with heavy hearts casting our last looks at this great
institution.

ESSAYS (FOR MATRIC STUDENTS)

Sports and games play a significant ()role in the development of

human personality () . They are as important for human body as food
grains ( ) and fresh water. They keep us active, healthy and smart.

Games and sports are called co-curricular activities () .

They are an important part of our school curricular (). Pakistani
students are very fond of sports and games. The facilities ( )are, of
course () , inadequate () at present. The situation is expected to
improve in near future.

Games and sports create in us the sense of discipline ( ) . The

captain of the team works like a General and the team has to obey the
captain. All these things create sportsman spirit in the minds and souls of
the players. They learn to lead their life in a disciplined manner.

Games and sports are a very good and useful source of recreation
(). They utililze () the vacant ()time of the young generation.
So their personality develops and they do not indulge in () such
activities like gambling ()and drinking () .

Sports and games keep our body and soul healthy. A sound mind is
always in a sound body. Health is Wealth. If one loses his health, he will
not be able to carry out his duties efficiently () . As a result, he will
be left behind in the race of progress.

3. My House
"East or West, home is the best". It is a famous old proverb (
)which is true to the hilt ( ). My house is situated () on
the main road. It is not far ( )from my school. It is double storeyed. It is
fitted with electricity. There are four rooms in each floor. There are marble
chips on the floor. We have covered the drawing room with wall to wall
carpet. The show-cases in the drawing room have been tastefully
decorated. It has a kitchen and a bath. It has four bed rooms. I have a
folding study-table in a corner of the drawing room where I study and do my
home-work.

ESSAYS (FOR MATRIC STUDENTS)

All the rooms of my house are airy, neat and clean. They are white-
washed every year. We have all the facilities of modern life in our house.
Very nice people live around us.

I have grown many beautiful flowers in one corner of my house. Their

fragrance ( )refreshes me and my family. I love my house very much. I
am proud of my house. God bless our home.

4. Courtesy
Courtesy ( ) means polite ( )behaviour (). It springs
( ) from good breeding and kindness of heart. A courteous man is
always polite and observes good manners at all occasions (). He
always repects the feelings of others and does not hurt them at any cost.

Courtesy demands that we should be polite and pleasant ( )in

every field of life. Our religion lays great stress on the need of courtesy.
Islam teaches us politeness and good manners in every sphere of life.
Muslims greet one another, saying "Assalam-u-Alakum", and they often
add some remarks about each others health and welfare ().

Courtesy demands that we should speak gently to everyone. Our

words may break a heart or heal it. Courtesy costs nothing but it pays a lot.
It consoles the dejected ( )souls. It brings us sincere friends.

Good manners demand that we should wait for our turn. In a crowded
( )bus, we should offer our seat for the women, weak or disabled
( )persons. We should help the blind to cross the road. We should
respect humanity ( )in order to make everyday life really comfortable
and worth living () . Courtesy amply fulfils ( ) this need.

5. Libraries
Libraries are part and parcel of a civilized ( )society. They are
huge store of knowledge. Every library has a large number of books on
many subjects. Libraries provide us information about current affairs (
)as well as past events (). People doing research ( )can
avail themselves a lot from the libraries. Libraries quench ( )the thirst

Compiled by: HAFIZ ASHFAQ AHMED

ESSAYS (FOR MATRIC STUDENTS)

for knowledge. They supplement ()the readers knowledge by providing

exact and latest ( ) information. It is a matter of regret ( )that our
library system is not functioning properly. Our libraries remain open when
people are busy in their work and they are closed in the evening when
people are free from daily business.

There is no whole-time staff for libraries. Besides this () ,

there is no incentive () to read general books. There is no proper
ventilation ( )system in our libraries. Books lying in locked
shelves stink () awfully () due to want of fresh air.

Libraries play an important role in creating a genuine ()love of

books and interest in current affairs.The reading rooms of libraries develop
a sense of discipline, research and enquiry.There is a variety of attractive
() titles in a library which bring about a healthy and beneficial
()effect on the eager minds of the readers.

6. Health
Working properly of all the systems of a living being ()is called
health. "Health is wealth" is a famous proverb often quoted by parents and
teachers.

Health is, no doubt, a great blessing of God. If one loses health, he

will surely be left behind in his work because a sound body has a sound
brain.

We should take care of our health. We should keep our environment

clean and take simple food and balanced diet () . Early to bed
and early to rise makes man healthy wealthy and wise. We should take
exercise ( )daily and keep our body clean. We should have our meals
at regular intervals (). We should brush our teeth daily and cut our nails
( )regularly. We should not indulge ( ) in such activities which are
injurious ( ) to our health. Smoking and drinking should be given up in
order to attain sound health and physical strength.

Sometimes staying at one place for several years makes us weary

( )and stale () . It indicates ( ) that we need a

Compiled by: HAFIZ ASHFAQ AHMED

ESSAYS (FOR MATRIC STUDENTS)

change in our environment () . If we go to some other place, it will do

us a great favour. Change of environment and fresh air are better than all
the tonics ( ) of the world. We should avoid to eat outdoor because
homemade cookies ( ) are pure and the safest in the world.

7. A Rainy Day
It was the month of July. The sun was shining brightly. Everybody
was perspiring ( ) from head to foot. It had not rained since long so
every living being ( )was in trouble ().

One day it was very hot. Suddenly clouds appeared ( ) from

the west and spread all over the sky at once. It flashed ( ) and
thundered ( ) for some time. Then it began to rain by cats and
dogs (). The streets were soon filled with rain water. There was
knee-deep ( ) water everywhere. They began to float paper-
boats on water. Everyone was feeling gay and happy. All the pollution
()of the air went away. The rain stopped after one hour. The weather
became pleasant. People got rid of scorching ( ) heat. They
thanked God for this relief ().

8. A Scene at the Railway Station

A railway station is a crowded ( ) and noisy ( ) place in
a big city. The rail-tracks ( ) connect different towns and cities.
The train is drawn by the heavy and powerful engine and it stops briefly
() for the passengers ( )at railway stations.

Last Sunday, I went to a railway station to see off ( ) one of

my friends. When we reached the station, it was over-crowded ( ) with
people. I bought the ticket with great difficulty and we proceeded ()
to the platform.

The platform was full of passengers. There was a great hustle and
bustle all around. Some people were sitting on benches while others were
walking here and there. The children were more excited ). They were
looking at the colourful ( )advertisements (). There were many

Compiled by: HAFIZ ASHFAQ AHMED

ESSAYS (FOR MATRIC STUDENTS)

stalls of fruit, tea, books and magazines. The vendors () were

doing roaring () business ()

Soon the train arrived at the station. People rushed to their

compartments () . Every person was trying to get into the bogie
first. The train stopped for five minutes. Then the guard blew the whistle
( ) and also waved a green flag. The train started moving slowly.
The station seemed to desert ( )as before.

9. A True Muslim
The follower ()of Islam is called Muslim. To be a Muslim is a
great blessing () of Allah. A Muslim who sincerely (
)acts upon all the teachings of Islam is called a true Muslim.

A true Muslim has firm belief in the oneness () of Allah and His
revelations() . He is aware ()of this fact ()that God
knows his every action either hidden ( )or open. He leads a simple
and pure life. He avoids () evil ()actions. He believes in the
day of judgement (). He prepares for the life hereafter () . He
says his prayers regularly. He observes fasts ()in the month of
Ramazan. He pays Zakat and other Islmic taxes. If he affords, he performs
Hajj.

A true Muslim is a responsible citizen ()of Islamic society. He

does not harm () the other members of his society with his hands
or tongue. He gives alms ()to the needy and the helpless. () .

A true Muslim seeks knowledge. He is clean in habits and pure

()in thoughts. He does not deceive () anybody. He treats every
person with kindness and love. He is enemy of the evil (). He fights for
the cause of Islam. In fact, a true Muslim is far better than an angel.

10. Life In A Big City

Daily life in a big city is busy ( )and exciting. It is full of charms
and comforts as well as full of difficulties ( )and problems (). Life
in a big city is not as simple and peaceful ()as village life.

Compiled by: HAFIZ ASHFAQ AHMED

ESSAYS (FOR MATRIC STUDENTS)

Big cities are centres of trade ()and business. There are many
big markets and shopping centres in big cities. As soon as the sun rises
people move on to their jobs in offices, mills, factories and shops. There is
a great rush of traffic on roads. Traffic often jams in rush hours. The same
thing happens after mid-day when thousands of people return to their
homes after the day's work.

The atmosphere ()of big cities is not clean and fresh. It is polluted
( )with harmful substances (). Sanitation ()facilities ()are
inadequate (). Heaps of dirt can be seen everywhere () .

The residents ()of big cities have no peace of mind. Worries

( )and cares are part and parcel of there life. People are strictly tied
to daily routine. They do not find any time to relax ( ) themselves.

Big cities are centres of knowledge (). There are many schools,
colleges and other educational institutions in big cities. Besides this,
medical facilities () are easily available.

11. Village Life

There goes a famous saying that, "God made the country (
)and then the city came". This sums up the belief that even God
resides ( )in villages. Why? because villages and countryside breathe
( ) the fresh air of Nature (). The villagers get fresh vegetables
( )and nourishing ()diet().

Village people are innocent ()and lead a simple life. They are
not aware ( )of the evil practices in towns and cities. A village is an
embodiment ( )of simplicity and sincerity (). There are lush-green
fields, the groves ()of shady () trees and beautiful landscapes
()in a village. People enjoy the sweet music of birds. The scenes of
sun-rise ( ) and sun-set add charm ( )to village life.

Life in a village is easier and cheaper () . But there are also

some disadvantages ( )of village life. The villages have no sufficient
()facilities of schools, colleges, roads and hospitals. They live in

Compiled by: HAFIZ ASHFAQ AHMED

ESSAYS (FOR MATRIC STUDENTS)

miserable () conditions. But they face the hardships ()bravely

and seldom () complain () .

The life in a small village is worth-enjoying ( ) because it

provides peace of mind to the dejected ()hearts.

12. Television
Television is one of the wonderful ( ) inventions ( )of
science. It provides ( ) the cheapest () entertainment
()for the whole family. It enables us to watch things happening at a
remote ()place. Many different programmes are presented on T.V.
daily. They include films, songs, plays ( )and debates (). Now a
days people like to watch colour televisions.

T.V. is a source of knowledge and information. National programmes

provide us a lot of information about current affairs () . Moreover
( ) T.V. is a useful source for distant learning () .
Thousands of students who are unable to attend the schools, colleges and
universities can be educated through T.V. programmes.

Small screen of T.V. has become so popular ()that people have

stopped going to cinemas. Many quiz programmes are telecasted on T.V.
and they continue for the whole year. We can learn much about the history
()and culture ()of our country through T.V.

But there are certain abuses ( ) of T.V. School going children

spend most of their time in watching T.V. They do not pay attention ()to
their studies. They should not watch T.V. for a long time as it is harmful
() for eye-sight ().

13. A Visit To A Hill Station

Love of adventure is natural to man. But the degree of love varies
( ) from person to person.

Last Summer, our class decided to visit Murree. Murree is a beautiful

hill-resort (24 ,) kilometers away from Islamabad.

ESSAYS (FOR MATRIC STUDENTS)

We took our bus and reached Murree in the evening. We were tired
of long journey. But all our fatigue ( )went away when we saw the
beautiful natural scenery of Murree. We enjoyed the cool breeze, the
chirping of the birds and the delightful ()scenery. The beauty of the
landscape fascinated () us. The road to Murree was zig-zag (
) . AS the bus went higher and higher, we got frightened. There
were many turns on the road. We were fearing of an accident ()but
thank God, we reached our destination ( )safe and sound. We stayed
for a fortnight () at Murree and enjoyed ourselves to our hearts
content () . After a stay of fifteen days, we returned to our homes.
We were fully refreshed now. We decided to revisit Murree in the next
summer.

14. A Hockey Match

Hockey is our national ()game. It is played all over the country. I
am very fond of playing hockey. Last Sunday, I witnessed ( )a hockey
match. It was played between our school and Islamia High School.

The match started at 3:30. The referee blew the whistle ()and the
match started. In the beginning, the game was slow but within 15 minutes
the game became very fast. Both the teams were trying their best to score
a goal. The ball was rolling swiftly ( ) among the players. Just before
the interval (), the captain of Islamia School team succeeded in scoring
a goal with the help of a beautiful shot.

After the interval, the game started again. Our team became more
active and dominated in the ground. Soon our team scored two goals one
after the other. The students of our school felt very happy and clapped their
hands to encourage () the players.

The players of our rival () team fought bravely to socre any goal.
But they could not succeed in their move ()till the end of the game.

The spectators ()enjoyed the game played by both the teams

very much. Our school won the match by one goal. Our headmaster

aggressive (). Imran Khan hit two boundaries. Mian Dad scored a
