  • A VISIT TO A ZOO
  • Last Sunday I went to the zoo with my parents and my younger brother. We bought tickets at the gate and went in at ten in the morning. First we saw the lions and tigers in their large enclosures. The tiger was walking up and down restlessly. Then we watched the monkeys jumping from branch to branch, and my brother laughed a lot. We also saw elephants, deer, zebras and many colourful birds. The giraffe with its long neck was my favourite. A visit to a zoo is both fun and a good way to learn about animals.

  • IMPORTANCE OF A SCHOOL LIBRARY
  • Teachers can also guide students to the right books there. A library is the heart of a school. It has books on many subjects, magazines and newspapers. Students who cannot buy costly books can read them free in the library. Reading good books increases our knowledge and improves our language. It also builds the habit of reading, which helps us all our life. The library is a quiet place where we can study with full attention. Every school should have a good library, and students should use it regularly.

  • USES AND MISUSES OF A MOBILE PHONE
  • The mobile phone has become a part of our daily life. It helps us talk to anyone, anywhere, at any time. We can send messages, pay bills, book tickets and use maps on it. Students can attend online classes and search for information. But it also has misuses. Many young people waste hours on games and social media. Too much use harms the eyes and disturbs sleep. Using a phone while driving causes accidents. So we should use the mobile phone wisely and only when we need it.
