ESSAYS 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, ( کر بھر جی )gossiped ( لگائی گپیں )and laughed very much.

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

X, made a moving (جذباتی )speech in which he mentioned our long and deep

association (تعلق)with the school as well as the class. He wished us every

success in future (مستقبل)

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

host (میزبان). In my speech (تقریر), I lauded (سراہا)the good arrangements,

made by the host and accepted their good wishes for all of us. I(انتظامات)

was feeling sad because of the separation from my old and august

institution in whose lap (گود)I got education. For me, it was not merely

and civilization(ثقافت) of culture(گہوارہ) a school, but it was a cradle(محض)

) In the end, the reverened .(تہذیب) احترام قابل ) Headmaster made an

impassioned ( اتیجذب )speech in which he appealed us to build our mind and

character on sound lines. He advised us to adhere (چمٹنا)to the glorious

.(ادارہ) traditions of this institution(شاندار)

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

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

institution.

2. Sports and Games

Page 2: ESSAYS Matric

ESSAYS (FOR MATRIC STUDENTS)

Compiled by: HAFIZ ASHFAQ AHMED

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

human personality (شخصیت ). They are as important for human body as food

grains ( اشیائ ذائیغ ) and fresh water. They keep us active, healthy and smart.

Games and sports are called co-curricular activities ( گرمیاں سر نصابی ہم ).

They are an important part of our school curricular (نصاب). Pakistani

students are very fond of sports and games. The facilities (سہولیات) are, of

course ( شک بے ), inadequate ( فی ناکا )at present. The situation is expected to

improve in near future.

Games and sports create in us the sense of discipline ( وضبط نظم ) . 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 .(تفریح) کرنا استعمال )the vacant (خالی)time of the young generation.

So their personality develops and they do not indulge in ( لینا حصہ )such

activities like gambling (جوابازی)and drinking ( نوشی شراب ).

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 ( احسن یق بطر ). 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 ( ضرب

) which is true to the hilt (المثل سچ بالکل �µ). My house is situated ( ہے واقع )on

the main road. It is not far (دور) 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.

Page 3: ESSAYS Matric

ESSAYS (FOR MATRIC STUDENTS)

Compiled by: HAFIZ ASHFAQ AHMED

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 (خوشبو) refreshes me and my family. I love my house very much. I

am proud of my house. God bless our home.

4. Courtesy

Courtesy ( خلقی خوش ) means polite (شائستہ) behaviour (رویہ). It springs

( ہے پیداہوتی ) from good breeding and kindness of heart. A courteous man is

always polite and observes good manners at all occasions (مواقع). He

always repects the feelings of others and does not hurt them at any cost.

Courtesy demands that we should be polite and pleasant (خوشگوار) 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 other’s health and welfare (بہتری).

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 (افسردہ) 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 (پرہجوم)

persons. We should help the blind to cross the road. We should (معذور)

respect humanity (انسانیت) in order to make everyday life really comfortable

and worth living ( قابل کے رہنے ). Courtesy amply fulfils ( ہے کرتی پورا ) this need.

5. Libraries

Libraries are part and parcel of a civilized (مہذب) 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 ( حاالت

can (تحقیق) People doing research .(واقعات) as well as past events (حاضرہ

avail themselves a lot from the libraries. Libraries quench (بجھانا) the thirst

Page 4: ESSAYS Matric

ESSAYS (FOR MATRIC STUDENTS)

Compiled by: HAFIZ ASHFAQ AHMED

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

exact and latest ( ترین تازہ ) information. It is a matter of regret (افسوس) 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 ( عالوہ اسکے ),

there is no incentive ( غیب تر )to read general books. There is no proper

ventilation ( �آمدورفت کی ہوا µ)system in our libraries. Books lying in locked

shelves stink ( آنا بدبو )awfully ( تک حد خوفناک )due to want of fresh air.

Libraries play an important role in creating a genuine (اصلی)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

( کشش پر )titles in a library which bring about a healthy and beneficial

.effect on the eager minds of the readers(مفید)

6. Health

Working properly of all the systems of a living being (جاندار)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 ( خوارک متوازن ). Early to bed

and early to rise makes man healthy wealthy and wise. We should take

exercise (ورزش) daily and keep our body clean. We should have our meals

at regular intervals (وقفے). We should brush our teeth daily and cut our nails

( اخنن ) regularly. We should not indulge ( ہونا مبتال ) in such activities which are

injurious ( دہ نقصان ) 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 (تھکاہوا) باسی۔ خشک ). It indicates ( کرنا دہی نشان ) that we need a

Page 5: ESSAYS Matric

ESSAYS (FOR MATRIC STUDENTS)

Compiled by: HAFIZ ASHFAQ AHMED

change in our environment ( وہوا آب ). 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 ( ادویات مقوی ) of the world. We should avoid to eat outdoor because

homemade cookies ( اشیا ہوئی پکی ) 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 ( آنا پسینہ ) from head to foot. It had not rained since long so

every living being (جاندار) was in trouble (تکلیف).

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

the west and spread all over the sky at once. It flashed ( چمکی بجلی ) and

thundered ( ہوئی ا پید گرج ) for some time. Then it began to rain by cats and

dogs (موسالدھار). The streets were soon filled with rain water. There was

knee-deep ( گہرا تک گھٹنوں ) 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(آلودگی)

became pleasant. People got rid of scorching ( والی دینے چھلسا ) heat. They

thanked God for this relief (آرام).

8. A Scene at the Railway Station

A railway station is a crowded ( ہجوم پر ) and noisy ( واال شوروغل ) place in

a big city. The rail-tracks ( پٹریاں کی ریل ) connect different towns and cities.

The train is drawn by the heavy and powerful engine and it stops briefly

( لیے کے وقت مختصر )for the passengers (مسافر) at railway stations.

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

my friends. When we reached the station, it was over-crowded ( ہجوم پر ) with

people. I bought the ticket with great difficulty and we proceeded ( ہوائے روانہ )

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 پرخوش). They were

looking at the colourful (رنگارنگ) advertisements (اشتہارات). There were many

Page 6: ESSAYS Matric

ESSAYS (FOR MATRIC STUDENTS)

Compiled by: HAFIZ ASHFAQ AHMED

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

doing roaring ( سے دھام دھوم )business (کاروبار)

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

compartments ( ڈبے۔ کمرے ). Every person was trying to get into the bogie

first. The train stopped for five minutes. Then the guard blew the whistle

( بجائی سیٹی ) and also waved a green flag. The train started moving slowly.

The station seemed to desert (ویران) as before.

9. A True Muslim

The follower (پیروکار)of Islam is called Muslim. To be a Muslim is a

great blessing ( رحمت۔ نعمت )of Allah. A Muslim who sincerely ( خلوص

.acts upon all the teachings of Islam is called a true Muslim(کیساتھ

A true Muslim has firm belief in the oneness ( حید تو )of Allah and His

revelations( کتب آسمانی۔ وحی ). He is aware (آگاہ)of this fact (حقیقت)that God

knows his every action either hidden (چھپاہوا) or open. He leads a simple

and pure life. He avoids ( کرتاہے ہیز پر )evil (برے)actions. He believes in the

day of judgement (روزقیامت). He prepares for the life hereafter ( کی اخرت ). He

says his prayers regularly. He observes fasts (روزے)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 (شہری)of Islamic society. He

does not harm ( پہنچانا نقصان )the other members of his society with his hands

or tongue. He gives alms (خیرات)to the needy and the helpless. ( کس بے ).

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

) in thoughts. He does not deceive(خالص) دینا دھوکہ )anybody. He treats every

person with kindness and love. He is enemy of the evil (برائی). 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 (مصروف) and exciting. It is full of charms

and comforts as well as full of difficulties (مشکالت) and problems (مسائل). Life

in a big city is not as simple and peaceful (پرامن)as village life.

Page 7: ESSAYS Matric

ESSAYS (FOR MATRIC STUDENTS)

Compiled by: HAFIZ ASHFAQ AHMED

Big cities are centres of trade (تجارت)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 (فضا)of big cities is not clean and fresh. It is polluted

are(سہولیات) facilities(صفائی) Sanitation .(مادے) with harmful substances (آلودہ)

inadequate (ناکافی). Heaps of dirt can be seen everywhere ( جگہ ہر ).

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

and cares are part and parcel of there life. People are strictly tied (پریشانیاں)

to daily routine. They do not find any time to relax ( دینا تسکین ) themselves.

Big cities are centres of knowledge (علم). There are many schools,

colleges and other educational institutions in big cities. Besides this,

medical facilities ( سہولیات طبی )are easily available.

11. Village Life

There goes a famous saying that, "God made the country ( دیہاتی

and then the city came". This sums up the belief that even God(عالقہ

resides (رہتاہے) in villages. Why? because villages and countryside breathe

( لینا سانس ) the fresh air of Nature (فطرت). The villagers get fresh vegetables

.(غذا)diet(مقوی) and nourishing (سبزیاں)

Village people are innocent (معصوم)and lead a simple life. They are

not aware (آگاہ) of the evil practices in towns and cities. A village is an

embodiment (مجسمہ) of simplicity and sincerity (خلوص). There are lush-green

fields, the groves (جھنڈ)of shady ( دار سایہ )trees and beautiful landscapes

in a village. People enjoy the sweet music of birds. The scenes of(مناظر)

sun-rise ( آفتاب طلوع ) and sun-set add charm (دلکشی) to village life.

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

some disadvantages (نقصانات) of village life. The villages have no sufficient

facilities of schools, colleges, roads and hospitals. They live in(معقول)

Page 8: ESSAYS Matric

ESSAYS (FOR MATRIC STUDENTS)

Compiled by: HAFIZ ASHFAQ AHMED

miserable ( حال بد )conditions. But they face the hardships (مشکالت)bravely

and seldom ( نہیں کبھی )complain ( کرنا شکایت ).

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

provides peace of mind to the dejected (افسردہ)hearts.

12. Television

Television is one of the wonderful ( انگیز حیرت ) inventions (ایجادات) of

science. It provides ( کرتاہے فراہم ) the cheapest ( ترین سستی )entertainment

for the whole family. It enables us to watch things happening at a(تفریح)

remote (دوردراز)place. Many different programmes are presented on T.V.

daily. They include films, songs, plays (ڈرامے) and debates (مباحثے). 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 ( ضرہ حا حاالت ). Moreover

( ازیں عالوہ ) T.V. is a useful source for distant learning ( تعلیم اصالتیف ).

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 (مشہور)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

.of our country through T.V(ثقافت) and culture(تاریخ)

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

spend most of their time in watching T.V. They do not pay attention (توجہ)to

their studies. They should not watch T.V. for a long time as it is harmful

( دہ نقصان )for eye-sight (بصارت).

13. A Visit To A Hill Station

Love of adventure is natural to man. But the degree of love varies

( ہے مختلف ) from person to person.

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

hill-resort ( 24(, افزامقام صحت پہاڑی kilometers away from Islamabad.

Page 9: ESSAYS Matric

ESSAYS (FOR MATRIC STUDENTS)

Compiled by: HAFIZ ASHFAQ AHMED

We took our bus and reached Murree in the evening. We were tired

of long journey. But all our fatigue (تھکاوٹ) went away when we saw the

beautiful natural scenery of Murree. We enjoyed the cool breeze, the

chirping of the birds and the delightful (دلکش)scenery. The beauty of the

landscape fascinated ( کردیا مسحور )us. The road to Murree was zig-zag ( بل

ہوئی کھاتی ). AS the bus went higher and higher, we got frightened. There

were many turns on the road. We were fearing of an accident (حادثہ)but

thank God, we reached our destination (منزل) safe and sound. We stayed

for a fortnight ( دن پندرہ )at Murree and enjoyed ourselves to our hearts

content ( کر بھر جی ). 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 (قومی)game. It is played all over the country. I

am very fond of playing hockey. Last Sunday, I witnessed (دیکھا) a hockey

match. It was played between our school and Islamia High School.

The match started at 3:30. The referee blew the whistle (سیٹی)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 ( سے تیزی ) among the players. Just before

the interval (وقفہ), 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 ( کرنا افزائی حوصلہ )the players.

The players of our rival (محالف )team fought bravely to socre any goal.

But they could not succeed in their move (چال)till the end of the game.

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

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

appreciated سراہا)the performance of our players and gave away the prizes.

15. A Cricket Match

Cricket is quite an interesting game. It has become popular in the

whole world. It has a particular (خاص) charm (دلکشی) of its own.

Last Friday, I happened to see a "one day cricket match" at Lahore. It

was played between India and Pakistan. There was a huge gathering at the

stadium.

India decided to play first. The openers played a steady game. Within

first 15 overs, the score rose to 80 runs. But soon Kapil Dev was out. Then

he was replaced by Madan Lal. He made 50 runs in 12 overs. Soon there

was break for lunch. Indian team scored 220 runs for three wickets in the

fixed 50 overs.

Then the Pakistani players started batting. They opened carefully and

scored 40 runs in 10 overs. After 20 overs our players became more

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

beautiful century. All the Pakistani players played beautiful shots. They

scored 221 runs for the loss of three wickets in the fixed fifty overs.

Pakistan won the match by seven wickets.

It was a very interesting match. We enjoyed it very much. It kept us

spell-bound (سحرزدہ ) till the end.

16. Quaid-i-Azam Muhammad Ali Jinnah

Muhammad Ali Jinnah is the bright star of the History (تاریخ) of

Pakistan. He is famous as Quaid-i-Azam. He is called the father of nation

( قوم بابائے ). He was born in Karachi on December 25, 1876. He received his

early education from karachi. After matriculation (میٹرک), he was sent to

England for higher studies ( تعلیم اعلی ). He qualified from the Lincoln's Inn as

a brilliant (قابل)barrister. On his return to India, he joined the Indian National

Congress.

He was the greatest supporter of the Hindu-Muslim unity (اتحاد). But

the character of certain narrow- minded ( ذہین تنگ ) Hindu leaders

disappointed ( کیا مایوس )him. So he decided to join Muslim League.

Page 11: ESSAYS Matric

ESSAYS (FOR MATRIC STUDENTS)

Compiled by: HAFIZ ASHFAQ AHMED

After joining Muslim league, he worked very hard for a separate (الگ)

homeland (وطن)for the Muslims. The Hindus, The British and a section of

Muslims opposed ( کی مخالف )him. But he faced every problem bravely.

In 1934, he became the president (صدر)of All India Muslim League.

On March 23, 1940, at the historic (تاریخی)session (اجالس)of the Muslim

League in Lahore, the Pakistan Resolution ( پاکستان قرارداد )was passed. The

dream of a separate homeland came true on August 14, 1947. Quaid-i-

Azam became its first Governor-General.

He worked day and night to make Pakistan great and strong. Heavy

pressure of work told upon ( ڈاال برااثر )his health and he died in Karachi on

September 11, 1948. Leaders like him do not die so he lives in the heart of

every Pakistani.

17. Boy Scouts

Boy Scouts is a useful (مفید)movement (تحریک) for the youth. It was

founded ( رکھی بنیاد ) by lord Baden Powell in 1910. It soon spread in the

whole world. It is appreciated for its simple and noble (نیک)objectives

.(مقاصد)

A boy, wishing to become a scout is asked to take an oath (حلف). He

has a keen sense of duty and loyality (وفاداری) to God Almighty, to his

country and to his people.

A boy scout has many qualities (خوبیاں). He bears a good moral

character. he enjoys a sound physical (جسمانی)and mental (ذہنی) health. He is

always ready to help the injured (زخمی), the needy and the helpless ( بے

.He respects the feelings of others and always speaks gently .(یارومددگار

Moreover ( عالوہ اسکے ), a scout has the qualities of leadership. He is

firm (مضبوط) and noble in command (حکم). He is humble (عاجز) and obedient

.(اطاعت)

A scout learns many useful skills (مہارتیں)and crafts (دستکاریاں). He

learns the use of knife and axe. He can tie ( اباندھن ) various knots (گرہیں). He

also knows how to cook food.

Page 12: ESSAYS Matric

ESSAYS (FOR MATRIC STUDENTS)

Compiled by: HAFIZ ASHFAQ AHMED

A scout is a supporter of brotherhood ( چارہ بھائی ) and good-will ( اچھے

a boy scout shows ,(تکلیف) among people. In peace and in distress (جذبات

courage, responsibility ( داری ذمہ )and self-confidence ( اعتمادی خود ).

18. My Favourite Book

(The Holy Quran)

I have read many books. But the Holy Quran is my favourite book. It

is the last book of Allah. It was revealed ( ہوئی نازل )on the Holy Prophet

Muhammad (PBUH). The Holy Quran is a source of guidance for the whole

human race ( انسان نوع بنی ). It discusses all the aspects (پہلو)of human life.

Allah is the author (مصنف)of this book. It can meet all the challenges of the

world. I love the Holy Quran very much. I recite ( کرنا تالوت ) it daily. I read its

Urdu translation (ترجمہ). It has changed my entire (پوری) life. I try my best to

live according to the teachings (تعلیمات)of Islam.

The Holy Quran is the most widely read book of the world. No person

can dare ( کرنا اجرت )to change it. It is the same ( ہی ویسی ) since its day of

origin (آغاز) . Non-Muslims also study it to seek guidance (رہنمائی). It is a

store-house of wisdom (دانائی). It is a complete code of life. It encourages (

کرنا افزائی حوصلہ )those who fear God and it promises hell (دوزخ)to those who

are non-believers.

If we act on the Holy Quran sincerely, we can solve all of our

problems. May God enable us to understand Quran and act upon it. A'min.

19. My Ambition

(My Aim in Life)

Every person has some ambition ارادہ in life because it is a force

which excites man to action. But there are very few persons who have

clear-cut aim in their lives.

As far myself is concerned ( تعلق میرا تک جہاں ) the sole object (مقصد)of

my life is to lead a life of simplicity (سادگی)and goodness (اچھائی). From the

core of my heart, ( گہراہونسے کی دل ) I wish to become a teacher. I have my

Page 13: ESSAYS Matric

ESSAYS (FOR MATRIC STUDENTS)

Compiled by: HAFIZ ASHFAQ AHMED

own reasons (وجوہات)for this. From my early childhood (بچپن), I have

developed a love for young children. To me, they are beautiful and delicate

) of a flower. I will widen(پتیاں) like the petals(نازک) کرنا وسیع )their outlook by

giving them knowledge. I will serve my country by producing better citizens

The company of young children will keep me young in thoughts .(شہری)

in the life of a noble and ((یقین I have a great faith (نظریات) and ideas(خیاالت)

ideal (مثالی)teacher. I am fully aware of the difficult and hard life of a teacher.

But simple living and high thinking inspires ( کرنا راغب )me to take up this

profession.

Our Holy Prophet, Muhammad (PBUH) was the greatest teacher of

mankind. He felt pride فخر in being a teacher. So following the foot-steps

( قدم نقش ) of the Holy Prophet (PBUH), I aspire ( کرنا خواہش )to be a teacher

because teachers are the custodians (محافظ)of the highest ( ترین اعلی )values

) of a society. They are respected for their valuable(اقدار) قدر قابل ) contribution

.in building an ideal society(حصہ)

20. My Hobby

A hobby (مشغلہ)is a useful activity (سرگرمی)which is done during leisure

.during spare-time(لطف) and enjoyment(خوشی) It gives pleasure .(فرصت)

There are many hobbies like gardening (باغبانی), stamp-collecting( جمع ٹکٹیں

) coin-collecting , (کرنا کرنا جمع سکے ) ، photography, reading etc, Gardening is

my favourite hobby. The desire to grow fruits and flowers is natural (قدرتی)to

me. So I devote (وقف) my extra ( زائد۔ فالتو ) time to gardening. I keep myself

physically ( طورپر جسمانی )fit with the help of this hobby. I feel myself in the

heart of nature.

There is a spacious (کشادہ) ground attached to our house. I have

grown a beautiful garden in it. The sweet fragrance (خوشبو)of the flowers

serves as a tonic ( چیز بخش صحت ) for my body. It saves me from different

diseases. I have planted a few plants of fruit also. Similarly, there is

sufficient ( معقول کافی )growth of vegetables in my garden. We seldom

purchase (خریدنا) vegetables from the market.

Page 14: ESSAYS Matric

ESSAYS (FOR MATRIC STUDENTS)

Compiled by: HAFIZ ASHFAQ AHMED

Gardening provides me a good exercise (ورزش)for the day. It is my

sincere friend and inspires me whenever I am in a depressed ( ؤتنا اعصابی

) mood. Whenever I cast a glance (والے ڈالنا نظر ) over my small garden, my

heart is filled with joy.

Life is a struggle. If we rest, we rust ( لگنا زنگ ). So it is better that one

should pass very busy life. Hobby, thus, is an interesting activity which

canteen in recess (تفریح) period. We can have tea, biscuits, toffees, cold

drinks and buns and butter from our canteen. Sometimes Nans and

Kababs are also available (دستیاب).

fun and refreshment for us. 'Baba Jee' keeps the canteen neat and clean.
