Supplemetary Reader
Write a paragraph of about 150 words, on the following topics: (Text Book Page No. 160)
a) The teacher I like the most:
A teacher is a person who educates a group of students known as his pupils. The teacher instills in his students, the values of discipline, responsibility, honesty, courage, and truthfulness. The teacher guides his students in the right direction and prevents them from falling prey to bad intentions and influences. My favourite teacher is my English teacher. She is an elderly lady with great knowledge. Her class is my favourite of the day.
She is a well-known face in our school. In her class, almost every student pays attention to what she says. She uses the help of charts and new methodology to make us understand even better. She makes sure that her students are comfortable with her and not threatened by her. My English teacher was like a mother to me.
Her affection towards me was like a mother’s towards her child. She is the person who pushed me to try everything in life. Her constant dedication towards my interests and hobbies motivated me to pursue the same with more enthusiasm. It is because of her that I complete my work in time and with sincerity even today.
b) The value of discipline:
Discipline is important in our everyday life. It is also important for the better development of a society. It helps in time management. When one is disciplined, they are better able to manage their time at school. Work and at home. Discipline also helps to build respect. It also helps one to achieve better grades in school.
One is able to concentrate more in their studies and not on other things. Discipline is a virtue that every person should have. There are many benefits associated with discipline. One is able to live a better life when they are disciplined. The absence of discipline brings disorder and chaos. If we do not obey our parents at home, our teachers at school, we can imagine what will happen. So both our parents and the teachers are very anxious to make us see the need for disciplined soldiers.
c) Need for Moral Education in schools:
Education is only complete when it leads to all-round development of the individual, not only mental but also moral development. Moral Education influences the social thinking of the individual and makes him or her distinguish between what is right and what is wrong. Moral Education is important as it teaches diversity, tolerance mutual respect, and moral values.
Moral values are values that express ideas about the good life. Honesty, responsibility, and respect for others is the domain of moral education. The study of morality is vital because we live in a world of rapid change. Education should make children to learn moral values such as truthfulness, honesty, charity, hospitality, tolerance, love, kindness, and simplicity. Moral education should be taught as a separate subject like moral science. Thus moral education is important in schools as it teaches many good things.
d) The importance of Good Health:
Good health is important because a man of health can enjoy great happiness during his lifetime. Without health, we can not do anything in this world. Health is wealth is a common proverb which reveals a very simple meaning by comparing the value of health with wealth. Everyone knows that nothing is important in life than good health. No one can be happy and peaceful without good health.
There is no success in people’s life if they suffer with bad health. In reality, health is more valuable for a person than money because money can not buy good health and happiness intellectually and financially. Maintaining health is not so simple. Good or bad health depends upon several factors including healthy food, environment, lifestyle, sleeping habits, social status, psychological condition, financial condition, and many more things.
e) The importance of Reading:
Reading is one of the most important and priceless activities. If you have ever read a book in life, you will know the pleasure of reading. Reading is the kind of exercise that keeps your mind active and healthy. It is important to develop the habit of reading not only for knowledge but also for personal growth and development. It develops positive thinking and gives you a better perspective of life.
Reading habits develop imagination, knowledge, and vocabulary. The most important reason for reading is that we gain knowledge. Books are a rich source of information and knowledge. It also develops the creative mind of a person. It is the best way to relieve your stress and enhance your mood. It builds your confidence and leads to higher self-esteem. So it is very important to develop a good reading habit.
