Any Interesting Match/ One Day Cricket Match
It was Sunday. We had a
holiday from college. We decided to see a one-day cricket match. It was to be
played between India and Pakistan. We
could see it on television. But, my friends suggested watching it in the
stadium. “It is very enjoyable to watch it live, in the stadium”, said one of
us. So, we decided to go and watch it in the stadium. We got the tickets and
entered the stadium. There was a great rush of people. We took our seats.
In the meantime, there was
a toss. The Pakistani team won the toss and elected to field first. The Indian
openers entered the ground, waving their bats. In the first few overs, there
were no remarkable scores. But, then they started making runs fast. They hit
fours and sixes. Soon, the score reached above one hundred.
Then, as it happened, the
opening broke. The first one lost his wicket and then the second one. After
that, no batsman stood long enough to raise the score to two hundred. They were
all out for 197. Sohail Tanveer got four wickets. Fawad Alam got three and
Shahid Afridi got two. One was run out.
Now after some time, the
Pakistani openers came out. They started making runs at a snail’s pace. Our
openers could not do any thing worth-while. Their wickets fell one after the
other. Pakistani team made only 45 runs for five. Then Muhammad Yousaf and
Inzmamul Haq scored a lot of runs. They raised the score to 156. Then Muhammad
Yousaf got out, playing a stroke. Now Shahid Afridi came to bat. He, with Inzi
raised the score to 189. At this stage, Inzi got out. The next batsman came.
The score was leveled. And then there was a winning stroke by Afridi. Pakistan team
won.

Hobbies/ Pastimes
Life in olden times was very simple. Man had just to
hunt for food. He lived in caves or jungles. He spent his time in hunting or
being in his family. He had, in fact, no spare time which he would have to
spend otherwise. Then with the passage of time there was a great revolution.
Things started in simple form but turned into complex one.
Now is a different time. Things are
quite different from the things which used to be there in the past. With the
invention of new things, the atmosphere has changed. We have to work hard. At
the same time, we have some spare time. Machines have taken over much of our
work. That is why we feel comforted. We have leisure. Now we need things to do
in order to be busy. We resort to some activities. These activities are called
hobbies or pastimes.
Let us see the difference between a
profession and a hobby. Profession is the duty which we render to earn some
money. On the other hand, hobby is the activity that we render in order to get
pleasure.
There are many hobbies. Gardening,
stamp-collecting, coin-collecting, sight-seeing, games, reading magazines and
newspapers are all hobbies. Some hobbies are very expensive; the others cheap.
The rich people have ample time and money which they spend on their hobbies.
But, the poor have simple hobbies on which they do not have to spend much.
Gardening is one of such hobbies. Then there is stamp-collecting.
We can divide hobbies in two kinds.
The first kind is advantageous; the other one dangerous. As far as the first
kind is concerned, it is useful. For instance, gardening is there. It is very
useful, not only for the one who adopts it but also for others. Greenery is the
beauty of the earth. You feel comforted, your friends and relatives feel
delighted to see greenery. Similarly, stamp-collecting is informative.
Coin-collecting is also the same. On the other hand, kite-flying and loud music
are very dangerous hobbies.
It is our duty to be a useful citizen.
We should avoid harmful hobbies. We should adopt such hobbies as are useful.
The hobbies should be such as not to harm or disturb any body. Only doing so,
can we be good citizens. (382 words approx.)

ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION/
KINDS OF POLLUTION
Human life was very simple in the beginning. Man lived
in caves or jungles. Then he started making huts. He hunted for his food. He
led a very hard and trouble-some life. He worked from morning to evening. He
slept early and got up early. He was healthy as his hard-work supplied him with
energy.
With the passage of time, new things
were invented. Many things of comfort were introduced. Man became easy-going.
As a result, he became weaker and weaker day by day. His problems increased,
his worries built up.
Now man is facing so many problems.
Pollution is one of the main problems of man. Pollution means “impurity”. When
we throw our garbage here and there, it creates pollution. We pollute the air
with smoke. We pollute the water with industrial waste. We pollute the land by
throwing used up material carelessly and thoughtlessly.
There are many kinds of pollution. Air
pollution is there. The air we breathe in is impure. A lot of smoke and dust
particles are there in the air. When we breathe, harmful germs get into our
body. As a result, respiratory system is damaged. Second is the land pollution.
People throw their garbage here and there. It causes land pollution. Third one
is the water pollution. When water pollution takes place, it causes certain
diseases. When we drink it, germs get into our body. Further-more is the noise
pollution, which breaks our nervous system. It also creates hearing problems. .
Pollution in its all kinds is
dangerous. We can minimize it through joint efforts. The government and the
people both should fight against this evil. The early we do something to
minimize it, the better. (282 words)

Importance of Computers/ Information
Technology/
Importance of Computer Education/
Computer Education
Human life was very simple in the beginning. Man lived
in caves or jungles. Then he started making huts. He hunted for his food. He
wore leaves of plants or trees. He travelled on foot. Human population
increased. Then by and by, man started thinking of making things better. With
the passage of time, he went on improving things. With the help of science, he
made many things for his ease and comfort. There was a great revolution,
especially during the last few centuries.
With the invention of computers, the
speed of progress increased many-fold. When we speak of information technology,
we usually refer to computers. Most of us do not know the real meaning of I.T.
We do not know the difference between computers and information technology.
These things are inter-related. Computers are the roots and fruit. Information
technology means, “Data or information processed and forwarded through
computers”.
Now let us see what a computer means.
Computer is a device or a machine that processes a data. It can also store data
in its memory. It calculates things very fast. It can solve Mathematical
problems in seconds. It is a useful machine which helps us in almost every
field of life. It has become a part and parcel of modern technology. We need
computers in schools, colleges and offices. We need them in our factories and
mills. We need them for our defense. We need them in our communication. We need
them every where.
All these things speak of computers
and importance of computer education. It seems that without computers and
without computer education, we can do nothing. Our life would become dull and
drab without them.

My Hero in History/ My Favourite Poet
History is full of great men. They belong to one
country or the other. They marked their name with hard work. They worked day
and night selflessly. They had an aim before them. They got their aim, and thus
became immortal in history.
There have been many great figures in the
freedom movement of Pakistan.
Muhammad Ali Jinnah is the founder of Pakistan. I like and respect him
very much. But, the idea of Pakistan
was first given by Allama Muhammad Iqbal. That is why Allama Iqbal is my
favourite hero in history. He is also my favourite poet. For his great services
and poetry, he is called the “Poet of the East”.
Allama Iqbal was born in 1877 at Sialkot. His real name
was Muhammad Iqbal. He got his early education in Sialkot. He did his F. A. from Murray College,
Sialkot. Then
he moved to Lahore.
Here he did M. A. in Philosophy from Government
College, Lahore. After that, he started teaching here.
Then he moved to England and
Germany.
He got two degrees from these countries.
When he came back, he started
practicing law. In those days, the English ruled sub-continent. The Muslims
were backward. Iqbal wrote great poems to awake them from their deep sleep. He
was requested to preside over the All India Muslim League session at Allahabad in 1930. It was
here that he gave us the idea of Pakistan.
Iqbal is famous for his poetry. He wrote
great poems. His poetry has been translated in many languages of the world. His
famous books are; Bang-e-Dra, Bal-e-Jibreel, Piam-e-Mashriq and Zarb-e-Kaleem. He
died in 1938. His tomb is by the side of Badshahi Masjid, Lahore.
May Allah shower His blessings upon
him!

My First Day in College
Life is full of memories; pleasant and unpleasant. Some
of the memories are forgotten easily. But, there are some memories that go a
long way in life. They are ever green in mind. We can recall them any time, any
where. First day in college and the last day in college are very important in
one’s life.
My first day in college is still green
in my mind. I can never forget it. It is important for many known and unknown
reasons. It was a pleasant day when I entered the college compound. I was a
little bit confused to see the grand building. Some students were sitting in
the college lawn; some reading and others just chatting.
I went to a student whom I saw near
the gate. I told him that I wanted to get admission. I requested him to guide
me. He was a naughty boy. He took me to the reading room. There he told his
friends that I wanted to get admission. They started laughing. They said, “Why
don’t you tell him”. One of them was a very cooperative boy. He looked serious
to me. He took me to the office. He got me a prospectus. He filled out the form
for me. Then we submitted it.
When all this was over, I asked him
his name. He told me his name. I thanked him and tried to leave. He said, “No,
my dear! Not yet”. He took me to the college café. There he offered me tea.
It is many months since we met, but he
is still my friend. He is a business-man now. I am still in the process of
learning. I can’t forget this friend, nor my first day in college when he met
me. (294 words)

My Last Day in College
Life is full of memories; pleasant and unpleasant.
Some of the memories are forgotten easily. But, there are some memories that go
a long way in life. They are ever green in mind. We can recall them any time,
any where. First day in college and the last day in college are very important
in one’s life.
My last day in college is still green
in my mind. I can never forget it. It is important for many known and unknown
reasons. It was a wonderful day indeed. Every thing looked strange to me,
though very familiar. I had strange feelings this day. It was going to be my
last day in college. There was going to be held a farewell party.
I entered college with my college-friends.
Every thing was ready when we reached. The function started with the recitation
of the Holy Quran. After that some students made speeches. Every body felt sad
to think of departing each other. And this is what every speaker tried to
express.
One of my college-fellows sang a song. It was like
this:
In the end, our principal made a speech. He inspired
us with his experiences. He expressed good wishes for us all. He gave us some
pieces of advice.
Now was the time for the party. There was tea with
cakes. Every body enjoyed the party. When every thing was over, we came back
with sad and heavy hearts. It is many months since this function ended, yet its
memories are still green in my mind. I think I won’t be able to scrape these
memories from my mind.

Any Interesting Match/ Any Match I have
witnessed/
Any Drawn Match
It was Sunday. We had a holiday from college. We
decided to see a hockey/ football match. It was to be played between India and Pakistan. We could see it on
television. But, my friends suggested watching it in the stadium. “It is very
enjoyable to watch it live, in the stadium”, said one of us. So, we decided to
go and watch it in the stadium. We got the tickets and entered the stadium.
There was a great rush of people. We took our seats in accordance with the seat
numbers. Every one was delighted. Every one was looking forward to the start of
the match.
Now the teams entered the ground. Pakistani team entered
first. They stood together. Then the Indian team came out. They stood face to
face with the Pakistani team. The players were introduced to one another. They
shook hands with each other.
The match started on time. Both the
teams were strong. Each team tried its best to score a goal. But, there was no
goal till it was interval. The players had entertainment. We also had it. After
some time, the play started again. Now there was a hard struggle from both the
sides. Soon, there was a goal. It was from Pakistan. There was a lot of noise.
Every one cheered the Pakistani team.
Now was left a short time. We prayed
for the time to end early. But, the Indian team scored a goal only five minutes
before the end. There was a roar of cheers. Then the whistle blew and the match
ended in a draw. Both the teams were happy. It was an interesting but drawn
match. We enjoyed every bit of this match.

Floods in Pakistan/ Recent Floods
Floods,
earth-quakes, storms are heavenly catastrophes. They sometimes cause
irreparable losses of life and property. We should forestall to check them.
There are a few things we can’t control. Yet, there are things which we can
face wisely and minimize their bad effects.
Floods in Pakistan render
a lot of losses every year, especially in the rainy season. The areas and
villages located near the river-beds are badly affected. The houses in such
areas are usually made of mud. Houses made of bricks can stand minor floods,
but mud- houses are easily swept by water waves. Floods damage crops also.
People are made homeless. Cattle are flowed away. Mud houses are destroyed. Sometimes
death toll reaches thousands and millions.
There are many
causes of floods. The first cause is the cutting of trees. Trees have been cut
mercilessly in our country. Influential persons are eating up forests. This is
in every green area of Pakistan.
Changa Manga forest has been eaten badly. Similar is the case with Swat valley.
It is a pity that no action has so far been taken against such timber mafia.
The second cause is the lack of dams. The third cause is the lack of education.
The fourth cause is corruption which is eating up the resources of the country.
Recent floods
in Pakistan
caused much loss. Thousands of people were drowned. Same is the case with the
cattle. Millions of houses were ruined. Crops were also damaged. Some villages
disappeared totally. Floods affected all the five provinces of the country. The
loss is irreparable, yet we should not lose heart. We are a brave nation. We
should rise to the occasion and set to the work of restoration.
Flood-funds
are being raised by the government. Nobody is ready to put faith in the corrupt
government. No country is ready to donate. Publicly, a few sincere leaders are
trying to raise funds. Amongst them is Imran Khan, Geo channel, Waqt channel,
Express channel etc.
The fact is
that we have forgotten God and the result is his annoyance. We should beg His
forgiveness and mend our ways. This is the only solution to our problems.
