Changes I would like to see in my country five years ahead

Hi readers! Here's another one of those essays that I mentioned I'd be sharing in here. This one was written on 12th April, 2016. The topic is mentioned below. Comments, feedback, and suggestions are very welcome! :) What changes would you like to see take place in your country in the next five years? Everything has some space for improvement, to strive to make it better, if not perfect. There are many changes that I would like to see take place in my homeland for it to improve. Firstly, I would like to see my country cleaner. The garbage disposal system of many places in Sindh, especially Karachi, which is the provincial capital, needs to be regenerated. The bio-degradable waste needs to be sorted and tackled accordingly, and the recyclable waste recycled. This change would not only be a relief to the common people, but also improve the country’s outlook. Secondly, I would like to see Pakistan greener than it already is. Although the province of Punjab, and Kash...

Gymkhana at two different times of the year

This is a descriptive essay I wrote on 23rd December, 2015. I guess if I wrote on the same topic now, my composition would be very different from this. I had to describe a place, and I chose a gymkhana we visit regularly. I've exaggerated at some points, I suppose... for example, winters aren't that intense in Karachi. But you have to exaggerate, and even make up some facts, at times, to make your writing stronger. (I wouldn't do that in tasks other than I did for the exams, though!) So here you go: Describe a garden or park at two different times of the day or year. North Nazimabad Gymkhana is a wonderful place for relaxing on summer nights. Its lawns are in full bloom, trees and plant displaying their greenery to their full extent. A lovely breeze is blowing, causing the leaves to make a soft rustling sound. The lawns and walking tracks are illuminated with lamp posts, and abuzz with the sounds of people talking and laughing. The air is filled with wafting aromas ...

Have classroom teachers become less important?

A few days ago, I was going through my English notebook, which was filled with stories and compositions I wrote while preparing for my exams. A lot of them hadn't been posted on my blog, so I marked the ones that were good enough to be posted on this blog. And so, I'll be posting them here one by one. This one is an argumentative essay on the topic below. I wrote this on 15th April, 2016. Have classroom teachers become less important with the increased use of the internet in education? The use of internet in education is on the rise. It is accessible to everyone, to people of all ages. From school children to university level students, the internet is of great help to everyone in their studies. Online courses can be attended at home to master any skill. Many of these courses are free, while some charge an adequate amount. Courses are offered from overseas and international universities from all over the world. People can get a diploma without having to travel anywhere ...
