ENGLISH ESSAY LESSONS
Talk about the country you would like to visit.
I have heard much about the beauty of the East as well as the West, about the
wonderful islands in the Pacific and also in the Atlantic. In short, the whole world
seems to be full of beautiful places. The country that I would like to visit, however, is
the United States of America.
My knowledge of the United States of America is derived from the geography and
history books that I have read, the films that I have seen and the stories that I have
heard from people who have visited this country.
The United States of America is a vast country with a mixed population. People from
many different lands have come and settled here. This mixture of different races of
people with different customs, religions, cultures and abilities have created a nation
unique in history. Although this country has a very short history compared with that
of the other large countries in the world, it is an example to the world of how people
of different races could live together in peace and harmony. The exchange of ideas
among the people of so many racial origins here has contributed greatly to the
progress and prosperity of the nation. There are world famous scientists, doctors,
lawyers, engineers, teachers and politicians whose original homes were in many
different lands. The work of such men has made this country a wonderful land
indeed. The roads, buildings and cinemas here may be said to be the best in the
world. There are many places and things of interest such as Hollywood, the United
Nations building, Niagara Falls and the sky-scrapers. Even the natural vegetation
and features are rich in variety. If one travels across the land, one will find different
kinds of scenery in different places. Further, as the people here still follow their
original customs and traditions, one will also have the feeling that one is passing
through many different countries.
The people of the United States are proud of their country, for it was their country
that gave the modern world ideas of freedom. The name of Abraham Lincoln will
always be remembered by those who believe in the freedom of men. It was the
United States, again, who saved the world from destruction in two world wars. Such
a country must be a wonderful land, and it is for this reason that I would like to visit

this country some day.
Talk about an ideal house
At first when I thought of purchasing a house, I wanted one that was neither too far
nor too near a town. If it was too far, I may feel lonely and then, there was the
question of transport. Finally, I chose an elevated, land enabling easy drainage and
firm. The site is spacious allowing ground for the house and a decent big garden. I
wanted an elegant look for the house I intended to build.
The house has four rooms with a well-furnished kitchen and modern bathroom
facilities. The living rooms are comfortable. The furniture has been chosen with
great care. The walls have been painted with soft colors to match the curtains, the
materials of which had been bought from the best textile manufacturing company.
Each room is fitted with a radio so that one can enjoy programs from the bed. The
drawing room is elegantly furnished with sofas, chairs and a central table. The walls
are lined with built-in cupboards, a library to house well-chosen volumes by master
novelists. There is a niche for the television and the room can be used for viewing
programs. All the rooms are airy and air-conditioned.
The kitchen is beautifully done up. It is fitted with electric grills and things can be
stacked neatly away in specially designed cabinets. It is provided with modern
gadgets for grinding, pulverizing or cutting.
In front of the house there is an artificial pool with a fountain spray. One or two fish
tanks are kept in the big porch to add the beauty of the place. There is a garage at
the side of the house for my car, cattle and poultry. There I keep a few fowls of the
high breed like the white leg horn, Black Monorca, and Rhode Island from which I
get a supply of eggs and meat. I have two jersey cows in the shed which supply the
milk for the family. In the backyard there are a few fruit bearing trees. On the
margin of the house, there are some coconut trees. In front of the house there are
certain bushes of croton and exotic plants. The well-kept lawn with luscious green
grass is very pleasing to the eye. There is also a small playground for my children
with a swing.
I have a couple of chandeliers in the drawing room showing rainbow colored lights

whenever light falls on them. I could specially mention the marble Buddha I got
from Sian and a bronze Nataraja from India. There are a few selected pictures by
masters in gilded frames.
Thus I am surrounded by beauty and peace.
Do you think that “Honesty is the best policy”?
This is an old and often repeated proverb, but it is true? It has a suspiciously
worldly flavor, for it means that from a worldly point of view it pays to have
honesty. Now a man of complete honesty will not ask whether honesty pays or not.
He feels he must be honest, even if honesty brings him loss or suffering, simply
because it is right to be honest and wrong to be dishonest. This proverb is therefore
of little use to people of sincere honesty: it is really meant only for those
unprincipled men who will be honest only if honesty pays, and will be dishonest if
they think honesty will pay them worse.
Probably honesty does pay in the long run. In business, for example, a man who
deals straight forwardly with the pubic, who sells at fair prices, who gives good
quality, and can be relied upon not to cheat, will generally establish a reputation that
will be a fine business asset. People will be glad to deal with him; and though he may
not make a fortune he will have a sound and satisfactory business.
On the other hand, there is no doubt that success is often due to trickery, and great
fortunes have been built up upon dishonesty. Too many successful rogues have
proved by experience that for them dishonesty had been the best policy. Of course
some of these people come to a bad end, and lose all they have gained by their lies;
but many maintain their worldly success is more due to ability, lucky opportunities,
and business cunning, than to honesty.
And many examples could be given of men who, from a worldly point of view, have
failed because they have scrupulous honesty. A martyr who prefers to be burned at
the stake rather than say what he believes to be false, may be a hero; but in the eyes
of a worldly man, who thinks only of worldly success, he is a sad failure.
But if we look at such cases from the spiritual point of view – if we consider that
truth and righteousness are far more important than wealth and rank and

prosperity – then, in the highest sense, honesty is the best policy in the end. “For
what it shall profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul?”
A lesson learnt
I was shopping for a wallet in a large shopping center. Suddenly, a naughty thought
ran through my mind.
The counter where the wallets were sold was at a corner of the store. There was
nobody around me then. Stealthily, I put one of the wallets into my pocket. I felt
guilt written all over my face. As I was about to leave the shop, a pair of arms
grabbed me by my shoulders.
“We have to refer you to the police for shop-lifting,” the man said. I was horrified.
My parents were notified and they were furious to learn what I had done. However,
they pleaded with the shop manager on my behalf.
The shop manager finally decided to drop the charge against me. I truly regretted
stealing the wallet and promised to turn over a new leaf. He nevertheless referred
the case to my school principal. I was given a demerit point as punishment and my
teachers explained to me the seriousness of shoplifting.
It had indeed been a painful lesson. I resolve never to commit the same mistake
again.

What makes an ideal teacher
What makes an ideal teacher. Give your opinion
(Qualities of a good teacher)
An ideal teacher is a friend as well as a teacher to his students. A good teacher should also
be a good friend.
In the classroom, he looks grave and solemn but he is a man of sweet and soft temper. He
sometimes appears rather old and sometimes young and bright but he is always, active
and alert. He is like and respected by all who know him. When he finds any of his
students lazy, he admonishes him, for he wants them all to do their work satisfactorily. He
explains the lessons in much detail, and does his best to answer any questions possibly
raised by his students. He is indeed a patient man; he continues to explain to his students

the points that they do not understand until they are perfectly familiar with their lessons.
He takes great trouble in correcting papers, and is very strict in giving marks. In the
classroom, he always keeps the dignity of a teacher.
But outside the classroom, he becomes the student’s best friend. He is an adviser to the
clubs organized by the students, and also helps them manage their sport teams. When a
student is in trouble, he comforts him and tries to help the latter solve any problems he
may have.
A good teacher should not only mind the academical work of his students but should also
encourage them to take part in sports and games so as to keep themselves fit. He always
sets a good example himself so as to influence his students.
He keeps in touch not only with his students but with their families as well. The purpose
in doing so is to obtain the assistance of parents in educating the students. He tries to learn
about the family condition of the students. Those whose family conditions are good, he
urges them to study hard in order to further their study in the universities but those who
have no means to carry on their study at a higher level, he advises to switch over to other
branches such as: commercial course, business school, military career, and so forth. He
thus increases the efficiency of their work, and guides them at the appropriate moment in
their choice of a profession.
The teaching profession has many responsibilities, yet it is full of hardship. Personally,
when I am grown up, I will engage in educational activities that is, I shall be a teacher
myself, for education is full of life. The students you teach are like fruit-trees you plant. It
is very interesting to plant seed and to see it sprout, grow leaves, put forth flowers and
bear fruits. In like manner, it is a great spiritual comfort to think that you are contributing
an important and useful part to the future of your country. For this reason, I find the work
of teachers both interesting and hopeful and I will become ideal teacher so as to lend the
younger generation on the path of knowledge.
Talk about rainy season
When the grass dry, the trees have lost their leaves, the rivers have very little water in
them and the fields are parched, everyone prays for the coming of rain. But when it
continues to rain for several days, there are prayers everywhere for the rain to stop, for

heavy and continuous rain often causes great hardship to many people, especially in the
equatorial region. The rainy season is therefore welcomed at times, and at other times, it
is hated.
In equatorial countries like Malaysia, the rainy season often causes much damage to
crops, life and property. People who work in the paddy-fields, rubber and other
plantations have to stop their work for sometime. As a result, they lose income and suffer
hardship. Farmers too suffer as they have to stop selling vegetables and poultry for a few
days. Even school children experience a lot of inconvenience. They find it difficult to go
to school in comfort and ease. Some places are completely under water and many children
are unable to go to school. Sometimes the schools have to be closed. Even to go to the
market becomes a problem, and people cannot go out to enjoy or do any work.
Continuous rain during the rainy season also causes much illness among children and
adults. Sometimes many children are drowned in the floods caused by heavy rains.
Bridges and houses are swept away by the floods and there is much suffering.
But if the rains are not heavy, the rainy season can bring a lot of joy to farmers and others.
Rains bring water for our crops and for use in our homes. Light rains make the day cool
and pleasant and people find it easy to work in the fields and other places. The soil
remains moist. Plants and flowers grow easily to make our gardens beautiful. Vegetables
too grow well and markets are full of green vegetables. Even animals, like cows and goats
find enough grass to eat. There is also enough water for them to drink.
Yet, those who live in places where there is a lot of rainfall do not realize how fortunate
they are. Only those who live in the hot deserts realize the value of rainfall. They would
surely welcome the rainy season.
Importance of Geography
Express your opinion on the importance of studying Geography.
Geography is a fascinating subject. It reveals all the wonderful changes and activities that
have been going on in the world since the beginning of time.
By reading geography we learn not only about our own country but also about countries
beyond the seas. We also learn about the mountains, oceans, islands, lakes, volcanoes, the
winds and a number of other interesting things about the world and the universe.

Among the important things that we learn in Geography are the infinite varieties of
creatures, plants, birds and land features that exist in the world. We know that there are
millions of creatures, small and large, of various kinds in all parts of the earth. We also
know that many of the early creatures have now become extinct, while many of them
have changed from their original forms. Reading about all these is indeed very interesting.
We also learn about the various types of plants and birds that exist throughout the world.
The plants and birds in the cold lands are not the same as those in warmer lands. In the
same way, the land forms in the cold regions are different from those in other regions. In
the equatorial regions, for example, plant and animal life is luxuriant, while in the poles
the land is covered with snow, and animal and plant life is less abundant. In equatorial
regions abundant rain has produced large rivers and lakes, while in areas where little rain
falls there are large deserts without many rivers and lakes.
As the climate and vegetation of one place are not the same as those of another, the habits
and activities of the people of different regions are also different. Even their religious
convictions and languages are different from those of other parts of the world.
Thus, Geography is a very important subject, and because of its width and variety it is one
of the most interesting subjects to read.
Importance of good roads in a country
Talk about the importance of good roads in a country
Good roads are essential for the development of a country. The Romans realized this
centuries ago. Wherever they established themselves, they tried to improve the roads
there. Today, the governments of all countries in the world are building more and more
roads to gain access to the remotest regions of their countries.
Roads link towns and villages and enable the people of one place to communicate with
the people of another place. When food is scarce in one place, it can be brought from
another place without much difficulty. Even things which cannot be produced in one
region can be brought from another region where they are produced in abundance. The
invention of motor-vehicles has made it easy to transport goods from place to place.
These vehicles, however, require good roads to travel faster. The better the roads are, the
more goods can be transported from place to place. Thus, trade is improved.

Further, good roads help people to travel easily to places where they can work and to
develop their lands and industries. In Malaysia, for example, the improvement of roads
has made it easy for skilled workers from the towns to work in remote villages. The
people of the villages, on the other hand, have been able to learn much from the towns. As
a result, there has been a lot of improvement in this country in all spheres of activity.
Finally, in times of war, good roads help armies to move about without difficulty.
Sometimes, a country is defeated because its army is not able to reach a place in good
time due to bad roads. Even the police may not be able to reach a place where there is
some trouble if the roads are bad.
For all these reasons, it is always necessary for a country to have good roads.
How you spent your last holiday.
How you spent your last holiday (Describe my last holiday)
During my last school holidays, I spent a few days at my cousin’s house at Morib, a well-
known sea resort. I shall never forget that visit.
On the day I arrived at Morib, my cousin told me that he would do to make my stay there
a very interesting one. He said that he would make a raft to use it in the sea. Then he
would buy fishing net to catch some fish in the shallow water near the coast. When I
heard all this, I was very delighted because it was one of the reasons that I had decided to
visit my cousin. We then walked up to the beach which is near his house.
While we were there, sometime in the evening, the sea looked extremely beautiful. I saw
the islands and hills in the distance, the birds in the air, and a few boys and girls playing
on the beach. I also saw some fishermen coming out of the water with their catch. All this
was indeed very interesting to look at.
On the next day, my cousin and I collected some tree trunks from the forest nearby. As
my cousin’s house is close to the sea, we decided to make the raft on the beach itself. It
took us almost the whole morning to make the raft. We then had our lunch and went to
Banting, the nearest town, to buy fishing net. After that we returned to my cousin’s house.
In the evening we put the raft on the sea. The water was still high, but the raft floated
quite well. My cousin and I sat on it and began to row it by using the oars that we had
made ourselves. We felt very happy indeed and continued to row it. We remained on it for

a long time, but as it was already getting dark we did not go far. We returned to the shore
and tied the raft to a tree.
On the next day, we went out to catch some crabs and fish. We used the net that we had
bought and caught a lot of fish. Then, we had our lunch and went out again on the raft.
We continued to row it as far as we could. It was really a pleasure to be away from the
shore. The sea was calm and we could row with ease. My cousin told me many interesting
things about Morib. We then returned to the shore.
In this way, I spent my holidays happily at Morib, a place I shall never forget.
Water is important to all living things
"Water is important to all living things". Do you agree or disagree? Give reasons for
your opinion.
“Water is important to all living things”. Do you agree or disagree? Give reasons for your
opinion
Without water no living thing on the earth could survive. We need water to quench our
thirst, water our lands to grow crops or to keep the animals and fowls in our homes alive.
Even the plants and insects in all parts of the world need water to live.
We also need water to produce electricity and to carry out goods or trade. Electricity is
very important for our comforts today. Almost everything that we use in our homes today
depends on the use of electricity. In the same way, water also helps to transport many or
the goods that we need for our homes. Ships, rafts and boats carry many things from
distant lands and help to exchange goods between one country and another. Transport by
water is easier and cheaper than by air or land.
But water has also caused sorrow and hardship in all parts of the world. Floods and heavy
rains have destroyed crops, lives and property through the centuries and caused much
sorrow everywhere.
Yet, water is so important that all living things, including the tiniest creatures, will
continue to struggle to get it whenever or wherever they can.
Your favorite pet
Describe a pet which you have kept.
Rosy is a dog which I have been keeping

for the past four years. It was by sheer accident that Rosy came into my hands. Our
neighbour Mr. Jones was a dog lover. He has a good kennel in his house where he reared
different types of dogs. Suddenly, he got tranfered from the town and he wanted to
dispose some of the dogs, he had. He was talking to my father. Then I told my father that
we could have one of the puppies; though reluctant, my father agreed. That was how Rosy
came into my possession.
Why, it was named Rosy, I cannot say. It is an Alsatian. It is of medium height, grey in
color with dark spots near her belly, bushy and glistening eyes. It grew into a beautiful
and magnificent dog much to the envy of others.
Rosy can be seen about our house when she is playing or when she is not sleeping. She
takes pleasure in sniffing about the comers when she has nothing particular to do. She is
as docile as a deer in our presence. When we are not at home she will be at her mettle and
no one can easily come near our gate or house. Though she does not bite, she will bounce
on the person baring her teeth so much so that she can paralyse any intruder. She
recognizes the postman as a friend and so does not do him any harm.
I give her some biscuits and milk in the morning, rice and curry in the afternoon. Usually
she is not given any food in the night. When we are at our table, Rosy keeps company
with me but she shows no eagerness to touch even a crumb unless offered. So my father
likes it. Rosy cries in peculiar way. It is between barking and howling. Sometimes she
raises a cry like moaning. That means she wants to go out for toilet.
Whenever I go out in the evening, she accompanies me. My friends are afraid of her
because she does not like silly mischievous boys. She shows her displeasure by barking
and that is enough to unnerve the boys. My father says, Rosy would soon become a
mother. Then I will have a few nice puppies.
Hobby in free time
Tell about your hobby in free time.
My hobby is stamp colleting. When I was still only a baby, my mother began to collect
for me. Of course, she did not let me touch the stamps until I was old enough not to spoil
them. I remember that it was on my fifteenth birthday that she first put them into my
hands. They were in four fat books, but since that time I have added three more, so that

now I have a bigger collection than any of my friends.
How do I get my stamps? I have never bought a single one from a shop so my
collection has really cost me nothing. My father, who works in a big office, sometimes
brings me home stamps from many countries of the world. And I have friends both here
and in other lands who send me stamps in return for ones which I send to them.
Now that I am working for my living, I do not have as much time as before to spend on
my stamps. But in the evenings, what can be better than to sit down at a table with my
precious books, arranging new stamps in them, writing in the names of countries, or, if I
am too tired, only looking through the stamps already in the books? Each stamp has a
story to tell me of far countries and strange peoples. I see pictures of men and women,
birds and animals that I have never seen. Kings and presidents pass before my eyes, and I
can follow the history of nations I can see Hitler's Germany spreading over Europe and
then suddenly breaking into pieces; Pakistan is born before my eyes; countries rise and
countries fall - and the whole time I remain comfortably in my armchair at home.
But my stamp collection does not make me think only of the past. Just as my mother
collected for me, so I, too, am collecting for my future child. What better way will there
be of interesting him in history, geography and languages, and of making these subjects
live for him instead of being only things in school books? If I pass my hobby on to him,
he will bless me for it as I have blessed my mother for her wise action.
Life in the city
Life in the city
Life in the city is full of activity. Early in the morning hundreds of people rush out of
their homes in the manner ants do when their nest is broken. Soon the streets are full of
traffic. Shops and offices open, students flock to their schools and the day's work begins.
The city now throb with activity, and it is full of noise. Hundreds of sight-seers tourists
and others visit many place of interest in the city while businessmen from various parts of
the world arrive to transact business.
The towards evening, the offices and day schools begin to close. Many of the shops too
close. There is now a rush for buses and other means of transport. Everyone seems to be
in a hurry to reach home. As a result of this rush, many

accidents occur. One who has not been to the city before finds it hard to move about at
this time. Soon, however, there is almost no activity in several parts of the city. These
parts are usually the business centers.
With the coming of night, another kind of activity begins. The streets are now full of
colorful lights. The air is cooler and life becomes more leisurely. People now seek
entertainment. Many visit the cinemas, parks, and clubs, while others remain indoors to
watch television or listen to the radio. Some visit friends and relatives and some spend
their time reading books and magazines. Those who are interested in politics discuss the
latest political developments. At the same time, hundreds of crimes are committed.
Thieves and robbers who wait for the coming of night become active, and misfortune
descends upon many. For the greed of a few, many are killed, and some live in constant
fear. To bring criminals to justice, the officers of the law are always on the move.
Workers and others who seek advancement in their careers attend educational institutions
which are open till late in the night. Hundreds of them sit for various examinations every
year. The facilities and opportunities that the people in the city have to further their
studies and increase their knowledge of human affairs are indeed many. As a result, the
people of the city are usually better informed than those of the village, where even a
newspaper is sometimes difficult to get.
The city could, therefore, be described as a place of ceaseless activity. Here, the drama of
life is enacted every day.
Homework should be abolished?
Do you think that homework should be abolished? Discuss its value.
Homework is a bitter pill for many students. Teachers always give homework. They are
given to help students to revise what has been done in the class and also the finish task set
in school which the pupil could not finish on time.
Education and mastery of knowledge, is a matter of skill so the more practice one has the
better skill. There are skill subjects and knowledge subjects. Both these categories require
drill and repetition. The teacher, to some extend, drill the student in the class but each
individual student cannot be expected to do the same amount as skills of students vary
from each other.

Homework need not necessarily be repeating what has been done in the class, it may be
more study. The student goes through references and acquires more and better knowledge.
The world of knowledge is so wide that the class alone cannot bring everything into the
grasp of the student. So the student must take up some initiative of his own. This is one of
the purposes of homework.
The school also must see that the students are overburdened homework. The teachers
must see to it that the homework is distributed evenly throughout the week. Still there are
subjects like mathematics or transcription in the lower classes which require daily
attention. There are other aspects of school work which can be attended to during the
weekend, for example, map making and drawing diagrams.
Simply because some boys find homework too much to cope up with, it cannot be
abolished. The school should provide some facilities, so that the boys can conveniently
attend to their home work and the teachers can come willingly forward to help such boys.

Watching television is one of the activities I like to do in my spare time. I enjoy watching
cartoons on Saturday mornings and sports programs on Sunday afternoons. I also watch
television during the week after I have finished all my school work. At night, I especially
like to watch movies and situation comedies. If I have a lot of homework, I try to arrange
my schedule so that I can watch at least one of my favorite shows. Watching television is
not the only activity that I do in my spare time. My other favorite activities are making
paper flowers and going shopping with my friends. However, when I have spare time, I
spend more time watching television than any other activities. Watching television can
help me not only relax but also build me a huge knowledge of the open world.

Writing is the most difficult skill
In your opinion, what is the most difficult skill of studying English
Photo Source: www.darton.edu

Men who learn English as a foreign language often say that writing is more difficult than
any other skills. As the fact of the matter, most native speakers of the language have to
make their efforts themselves to write accurately and effectively even on what they are
well aware of. Needless to say, it is not easy at all for a non-native speaker to do
something that an average native speaker usually considers a difficult job to do. Here are
three reasons which, in my opinion, can answer the question why writing becomes the
most difficult skills.
Firstly, writing requires good grammar. A non-native person has to remember a large
number of rules in structure which are quite different from their own language. This is a
very big problem if he or she learns the grammar with an English native teacher at the
beginning. The teacher cannot help to point out the distinct differences between the two
languages. In this case, the learner must figure out the differences themselves and even
outline some rules to convert from their own language to the target language.
Secondly, people are often known to spend less time to write than to listen, to speak and
even to listen. Learners learning the language in their country are proved to read more
than any other skills while learners learning overseas must listen to the language most of
their time. In any cases, they spend little of their time for writing. It is clearly known that
an average person spend the most for listening, the second most for speaking, then
reading and finally writing.

Thirdly, when students of English as a foreign language write something, they have a big
question in mind whether what they write is correct or incorrect. Who can answer the
question for them and help them recognize the mistakes. It is, in many cases, the teacher
who is teaching them and is ready to give them a hand. The problem however I want to
mention is that the teacher does not have enough time to correct for all of them if there are
more than ten students in the class. When the teacher corrects the writing for just some of
them, the other students cannot recognize their own mistakes. Without correction, the
mistakes may be repeated many times and become bad habits which are hard to adjust.
In conclusion, writing is the most difficult skill that learners of any foreign language may

face. To be good at it, learners must give much effort.
Importance of reading newspaper
The importance of reading newspaper.
As the name suggests newspapers are a source of news
and information. In several respects they are also a
medium of communication among the peoples of the

world.
Today there are hundreds of newspapers all over the world. Everywhere there is a keen
desire to learn more and more about the affairs of the world. This is partly the result of the
spread of education which sharpens one’s curiosity to learn about distant lands.
As a source of news, the newspaper is almost indispensable to those whose thirst for
knowledge is insatiable. They contain news on events in distant corners of the earth.
Information about such events arrives almost immediately. As a result, people everywhere
are informed about the most important event in the world very quickly and almost at the
same time. For example, if a war breaks out in one part of the world today, the people in
the other parts will certainly come to know about it tomorrow. As a result, all the
countries of the world are able to do something quickly to help those who have suffered
because of the war or to persuade the countries at war to cease fighting.
Newspaper also play an important part in keeping the people of the world informed about
the troubles that might arise in the future, if nothing is done to prevent them from
happening. For example, if a dispute arises between the two countries for any reason, the
newspapers can keep the people of the world informed about what might happen if
nothing is done to persuade the two countries to resolve their differences peacefully.

In this way many wars have been avoided because of the intervention of some countries
in the disputes of many countries which were given prominence in newspapers.
When all this is considered, we feel that there is some silent communication among
countries through the medium of newspapers for the common benefit of the countries of
the world.
Further, constant reading of newspapers improves one’s outlook on life and makes one a
more reasonable person. The importance of the newspaper is therefore obvious.
What subject you like best in school
What subject you like best in school
The subject I like best in school is geography and the subject I hate is arithmetic. Even
from my younger day, I have been longing to know more about other countries and the
people who live there.
Geography teaches me not only about my own country but also the neighouring countries
and the world in general. From what I have studied, I have a longing to see London, Paris,
New-York and Tokyo. I have heard much about Mount Fujiyama, the snow-capped
mountain of Japan. I also want to see Japan during the cherryblossom season. I want to
see New-York and its sky-scrapers.
Geography interests me because without visiting these places I learn about them in books.
For pupils like me who are poor and cannot afford to visit these places, the knowledge of
geography is all the most useful. It is perhaps the second best means of knowing more
about other countries.

Miss Wilde is our teacher of English this term. She has been teaching in our school for
