4. A lesson for all of us.

When an article of clothing gets torn, if it is mended without delay, there will not be further damage and loss. If the mending is postponed, the tear will become larger and we may have to put more stitches to mend later, we may not be able to mend it at all. The dress may become useless. What is true of a piece of cloth is true of several situations in life. To illustrate the point; when we get symptoms of a dreaded disease, we should go to a doctor immediately. If we delay consulting a doctor, the disease may become acute and then either we have to spend too much money, suffer acute pain or reconcile ourselves to an impending doom. Time waits for no one. Therefore, our aim in life should be-- strike the iron while it is hot, or ''make hay while the sun shines''.

Self help is the best help

This is a very common saying in our society that upholds the importance of evaluation of one’s deed. We live in the very complex world where every one has to struggle for life. Life is nothing but the challenges coming one after another. Dangers and difficulties are step by step to decelerate the motion of life. But if one is emancipated and charged with enormous potentialities, insha-Allah overcoming challenges one could reach to one’s expected goal. Sometimes, it seems to us that we are walking along a densely forest, many unknown dangers on the way to barred the motion of us. Becoming iron-determined one can overcome irregularities coming on the way. Self-dependency makes one competent and skill and he comes out with outstanding success showing his excellence in all sphere of life. On the other hand, dependency on others makes one lack in competence, skill and potentiality. As a whole he lives in the society as like as a parasite. He feels lack of confidence in him. As a result he could not take any decision to run his life rather he borrows suggestions from others. Primarily it effects well but in the long run he could not find any one beside him to have assistance time to time. But it is imperative for one to be dependent on him. Because it is permanent and very much fundamental that develops one’s mind to face with the emergencies. Taking decision faced with the practical problems one can be complete and enriched and even knowledgeable that will help him to face the crucial situation of life. In a word, the importance of self help can’t be expressed in words. On the contrary, dependency on others makes one lazy, incomplete and in-experienced that in furthermore future he will lose confidence of doing any kind of silly work. That’s why it is rightly said that “Self help is the best help”.

How to write a précis

How to Write a Precis

Precis means summarizing of a passage. It actually tests the ability of a reader's comprehension of a piece of article. The following points should be kept in mind in writing a precis: 

1. The precis SHOULD ONLY BE One-Third of the main passage.

2. The main idea must be grasped reading it carefully.

3. It must be written in a paragraph.

4. Give a suitable Title.

5. Figure out unnecessary points from the passage and leave them out.

6. Write with utmost care checking spelling, punctuation and errors.

7. If the main passage is described in the direct speech, try to transform it into indirect speech. And the point of view should be third person narrative.

STUDY the Following example:

 ''The man who has something to say and who is never known to speak unless he is sure to be listen to, especially in deliberative assembly or wherever there is business to be done, while no one pays attention to the man of mere words. Try to have an idea, or if you cannot find one-- ideas are by no means common--have two or three relevant facts. You may tell me that sometimes a man is forced to speak when there is nothing to be said. This doesn't often happen, because if you think a little before you rise, you will almost always find something relevant to the matter in hand, even if the occasion is a purely ornamental one. There is a well-known speech of Cicero's in which he had to present a legal case was weak, so he passed quickly and lightly over it, but made a graceful and eloquent speech upon poetry in general. The theme was not very new then, is still less new now, but the speech was so polished in its language that it can still be read with pleasure. So when you have to propose the health of someone of whose personal merits you know nothing, you may say something about the importance of his office if he is a high civil servant or a mayor, or the services rendered by his profession if he is a surgeon. If you can find nothing at all to say, don't say it. You silence will not harm you in the long run.'' (13th BCS)

>Now have a good look at the following:                        

A Speech should have Substance

Everybody listens to someone who has something to say. One should have an idea or some relevant facts before speaking. A little thinking will always produce such fact. Cicero's speech defending a poet in a legal case is illustrative. The case being weak he said very little about it, but made a wonderful speech on poetry. So when called upon to speak on somebody whose personal qualities one is unaware of, one might talk about things bearing on his office or profession. If one cannot think up any ideas, one should keep silent.
