Saeed spends his vacation time for studies

I am Saeed Ahmed. I am on vacation from school. I asked my father’s permission

to go to the house of my friend Mohammed to learn. My father said : You can go ,
but should take with you all the necessary writing tools and books. You should
revise the lessons with your friend and not play much. As the examination is near
.Also take with you pizza and sand witches and you can share them with your
friend Mohammed. My mother said: I have prepared for you some cakes and
pizzas. Do you want to take a flask of water also with you? Saeed said: I Would
not take the water and food. It is there in the house of Mohammed cold and clear
water . They have a large refrigerator. I will take with me only cheese pieces
because his mother gives us a lot of food during the hours of our study and later
also .And above all they will be hurt if I take food with me. They are good people
and they love guests. While I was on my way to the house Mohammed I met
Nabeel. Nabeel asked : Where are you going , Saeed? I am on my way to your
house to revise our lessons together . I said; You delayed and did not inform me
about your coming in advance, nothing wrong, why not come with me. We go
together to the house of Mohammed. Then Nabeel said: Who is Mohammed ? I
said: He is my friend. Don’t you know him. He is in eighth standard. Mohammed is
an intelligent boy. He will help us to understand the lessons and solve difficult
questions for us. He would welcome you also if Allah wills. He is a close friend of
mine. Nabeel said: I agree with you. I remembered now, he is that tall boy, who is
good at the game of foot ball. I said : Yes. N abeel said: I know him very well and
he also knows me. Okey let us go to his house. Nabeel and Saeed went to
Mohammed’s house. Mohammed was waiting for Saeed. Mohammed was happy
when he saw Saeed and welcomed him and welcomed Nabeel also. After greeting
Mohammed’s father all of them went to Mohammed’s study room. Studied for
about two hours. Mohammed’s mother provided them sweets fruits milk and
other things.
The three then played for a short time in the garden of the house. After
completion of that Saeed and Nabeel returned to their houses.

The School library
This is my school. It is one of the biggest schools in the city. It is located in the centre of
the city. There is a large library in it, and in the library there are many necessary and
useful books for teachers and students. Students go in their allocated time to the
library, and sit on chairs in front of the tables in the reading room and read books, news
papers and magazines etc. Some students take the books , news papers and magazines
from the shelves, read it and then restore it back to the shelves after reading them . And
some of them stand next to the shelves for browsing. Students take the required books
and go to the library staff,who gives them the books against their readers tickets or
identity cards. And students who want to take books home , they have to borrow books
against the membership cards issued from the library. Then the students return these
books in a week’s time in general and in case of non- return on time a fine is imposed
on them
Once a student from my class did not return a book, Firstly the director of the library
called him and said, you are required to return the book tomorrow. Then the student
searched the book in his bag and in his house also but did not find it. After five days of
search the fine was imposed on him at the rate of 5 rupees per day. But the amount was
big for the student. He raised the issue with the principal, who forgave him the fine.
The teachers visit the library in their free time and read news papers, magazines and
books and borrow books against their readers tickets. The library issued them the books
for two week’s time and if they were late in returning no fine was imposed on them as
they are teachers.

PATNA HIGH SCHOOL
I am a resident of Patna, the capital of Bihar. There are industries , Ministries , Small and
big offices, Colleges , Universities, Public and private primary and Secondary schools
etc.I studied in a high school called the secondary school of Patna. It has a high level of
education . The school has a large building with three floors. Each floor has twenty five
rooms. All rooms are used for teaching except the ground floor, where most of its rooms
are used for administrative affairs, except two, that are used for recreational activities
for girls and boys respectively. In addition to these rooms there is large room for
teachers , and another room for the headmaster . In this school varied Science and arts
subjects are taught and languages including foreign languages such as Arabic, French ,
German and others etc are also taught . I am studying in this school with English as my
subject. This is my friend and colleague Ahmed. He is studying Arabic. Enjoying Arabic
these days is very popular. This is shown by the growing number of students who are
studying Arabic, to get jobs, to fulfill their love for the language and also for religious
purposes as well. At present there are seven male teachers and three lady teachers to
teach Arabic. The number of Arabic students is in hundreds . There are more than a
hundred students of the Arabic language in the twelfth grade. After graduation in the
school those students intend to attend the university of Patna to specialize in Arabic
language, till they are strong enough in the language and also to have easy access to
employment with high salaries in the private sectors. Some of these specialists in Arabic
language are practicing the profession of translation – translation and interpretation .
And those who would like to be professors in colleges and universities needs to get Ph.D
in general. The Indians are learning foreign languages quickly especially the Arabic
language. The level of the study of Indians in Arabic language is very high.

On a rainy day
These days it is rainy season here. The rain began on a working day drizzling from early morning
. And increased a little. All the family members woke up one by one. Before every one my grand
father woke up at 4.30 am as usual. After finishing the morning prayers he went out for a walk
in the garden in our locality as usual. Grand father returned home before the usual time . We
saw him wet. He is an elderly man and thin. We heard coughing and running nose .My mother
rushed to him and said: Dad you need to change your cloths quickly. In the mean I shall prepare
for you tea with ginger and honey without milk. It is better to drink it hot and take rest. I took a
new towel and gave him. Grandpa entered the bathroom and dried his body and head , then
wore new thick clothes. My mother came with a tray of tea and poured the tea in the cup and
gave it to him. Grand father sipped the tea. I sat next to him rubbing his hands , head and his
legs . Then grand father slept in the warmth of the bed quickly.
As my father was getting ready to go to his office, he said : boys get ready quickly , your school
bus might not come today because the rain began to torrent. I will take you with me by car and
get you off at the school , on my way to office .
Mother called us from the kitchen saying: breakfast is ready on the table and to come and have
it. Then all of you accompany your father in his car and get down at the school. We all went to
the breakfast table . After finishing breakfast we took our bags and get in the car with our
father. We found a few of the students and teachers gathered in the roofed courtyard of the
school with the headmaster fir the prayer before the start of the day at school.
After returning from the school we found in the house only the house maid. We asked about
others. She said grandfather’s condition worsened at about 10 O’ clock. We asked your father
who was in office to come and take him to the hospital. They are all now in the hospital with
the grand father. While we were talking the telephone rang. I lifted the receiver and I heard my
mother saying: Now grand father is alright .Praise be to Allah. We are on our way back. We will
reach the house within half an hour. Eat lunch and tale rest. We thanked our Lord. We love our
grand father very much. It is a fact that he loves us much more.
