v At 5 p.m. sharp, the rival captains led their teams on to the field. While the other players warmed up, hitting, stopping, or dribbling the ball, on opposite sides of the field, the captains walked up to the two umpires in the centre of the field, for the toss. The outstation team lost the toss. The Ravines, therefore took the side of their own choice, for the first half of the match.

v Essayinenglishforfree.blogspot.com

v Right from the bully-off, the ball was controlled by the Ravines. Their forwards passed it to one another, foiling all attempts by the Civilians to retrieve it. The pace of attack grew hotter, and stiffness of defense become more intense, as the ball approached the striking -circle before the Civilians goal. At one stage, the center forward of the Ravines was about to hit the ball for what would have been a certain goal, when a fullback of the defenders took it out of his reach, and hit it so hard that it could not be stopped until it had reached one of his own forwards. This sent all the Ravines running to their own half of the field in order to stop the Civilians from scoring against them. From now on, much of the time until the breather, the ball remained in the Ravines half. They however put up stiff resistance and did not allow their rivals to test their goalkeeper even once.

v After half time the Civilians made a lightning raid at the Ravines goal, and within a minute of the resumption, were leading by one goal to nil. This infuriated the Ravines, and they went all out to score the equalizer after a number of well planned moves, on their part, they were rewarded with a goal.(Essayinenglishforfree.blogspot.com) It was made by their outside right with such a powerful hit that the ball rattled the board and shook the goal-posts for quite a few seconds.

v Only a quarter of an hour was now left for the match to end, unless over time had to be awarded. The game became very fast now both sides appearing to be determined to win. Two minutes from the time, the centre forward of the 'Civilians' dribbled the ball into the '0' of the home-side, and had only the Goalie to beat, when intentionally or accidentally, a defender knocked into him. For obstruction, a penalty corner was awarded against the Ravines. A full back of the Civilians, a giant of man, hit the ball so hard that hardly anybody saw it until it had hit the board with a thud.

v With less than two minutes of play left there was little possibility of the Ravines equalizing the Score. Though they fought hard to the end, the final whistle gave the victory to the Civilians. Their supporters cheered them lustily, while the home crowd was rather disappointed. They felt as supporters of losers often do, that the better side had not won.

v A few months ago a 'Good Manners Week' was observed in our school.

v A brief assembly was held every morning for the rest of the week. Every morning one senior teacher or another spoke on good manners. They did not merely tell the pupils why good manners were good. They also told them what they should do on different social occasions. We were told how to behave in classroom at home in public, towards strangers, towards friends, at the table and even while we were alone. Manners merely express the mind of the person displaying them. A good mannered person must be self-disciplined.

Thank you you are welcome. Could I help you “Excuse me, -such were the statement with which conversations ended or started.(Essayinenglishforfree.Blogspot.com) The pupils no longer mentioned their teachers by nicknames or mere surnames. The words 'Mr.', 'Miss', and Mrs. was consistently and appropriately used there was a quick decline in the incidence of classroom quarrels and fights. The discipline-master had few problems to his hands. By the end of the week, we had good manners on the tips of our fingers. They came naturally to our daily activities.

v On the last day of the week, every pupil in the school was made to write an essay on good manners. The best writer of the essay in each form was awarded a book prize and the best essay in school was accepted for being included in the next issue of the school magazine. The pupils with the best essays were also given the honor of reading their essays at the usual school assemblies. Ours is best essays to be read out.

v Last Sunday, as I was walking along the river swift, which flows, by our town, I stopped to watch a boy of nearly my age swim the river. The river was in high flood. The way the boy started his swim-at right angles to current-showed that he was not an experienced swimmer.

A Good Citizen

v Points: Definition of a good citizen – His duties – His obligations – He respects law – Conclusion.

v A good citizen is one who knows his rights and duties as a citizen. He asserts his rights and performs his duties with equal zest. His rights in fact imply his duties. In all democracies an individual enjoys political as well as civic rights. Political rights consist of right to vote, right to freedom of expression and faith, right to movement etc. Civic rights are of as vital importance as the political rights. This enables an individual to live in a civilized manner.Essayinenglishfor.blogspot.com

v A good citizen defends his political and civic rights very zealously. The state helps him in that through law and justice. Violation of these rights is often punishable by law. We must know that rights and duties are correlative. One’s right implies another’s duty and vice versa. This correlation is never lost sight of by a good citizen. A citizen is free to organize his life as he likes. Technically the position may be all right. But in actual practice there are many checks on one’s freedom. I cannot build a house any where I like. I cannot build it in the way I like. I must conform to the municipal byelaws. These laws have been framed in accordance with certain common considerations. I cannot throw the refuse of my house anywhere I like. I cannot walk in the middle of the road. I cannot blow a trumpet at mid night. If I have the right to do it, my neighbors have the right to sleep peacefully. If I am a good citizen, I will impose some discipline on myself.Essayinenglishfor.blogspot.com

v As a member of society, a good citizen has certain obligations. Illiteracy, poverty, superstition, disease and a host of other problems demand the attention of a good citizen. He has to think about these and their evils. He must give his best to the society. He must not let his energies and talents go waste. It will be social loss.Essayinenglishfor.blogspot.com

v A good citizen, normally speaking, respects law. If he is liable to be taxed he pays it. He does not evade taxes because it is a crime as well as a sin. He knows that his own good is linked with the good of others. He does not therefore indulge in dishonest practices. He does not try to influence the government officials for his private ends. He does not offer bribes.Essayinenglishfor.blogspot.com

v An ignorant or a selfish man can never be a good citizen. If he is ignorant, he does not know which rights to defend and which duties to perform. If he is timid, he lacks the courage to defend any encroachment on his rights. If he is selfish, he lacks the generosity to respect other’s convenience and comfort.Essayinenglishfor.blogspot.com

A Good Citizen

 By: Unknown    Thursday, September 25, 2014  A Good Citizen, English, Essays, ETC, Free All Essays, Garmmers, My Hobby Essays, New Sides, School Essay   No comments

v A citizen is an inhabitant who enjoys the full municipal and political privileges of a town or country. As such he is a member of a community. This community is made up of many citizens of whom he is one. The community gives him a chance to lead a peaceful life and, in return for this, he has to perform certain duties.

v First of all, he loves his country. He is ready to sacrifice everything including his life, to defend its freedom and honor. But love for one's own country does not mean hatred for other countries. And a good citizen thoroughly understands this. He respects the customs and traditions of other countries, so that their citizens may respect the customs and traditions of his own. In a country inhabited by people of different races and origins, as Pakistan is, a good citizen is particularly aware of the need to tolerate the views and customs of others.

v Just as a true friend does not hesitate to point out the faults of his friends, a good citizen is not afraid of expressing his disagreement with those in authority, if he feels that their actions will harm the interests of the country. If his country is wrong in an international dispute, he does not hesitate to give his true opinion. But, in case .of war, he supports his own country, right or wrong.

v A good citizen obeys the laws of his country. He obeys them not because he is afraid of being punished for breaking them, but because he feels that it is his duty to obey them.(Essayinenglishforfree.Blogspot.com) He does not evade taxes, or cheat the Government in any other way. If he is not satisfied with any of the rules and regulations enforced by the Government, he fights against them, but he does so only by constitutional means. Not only does he himself refrain from crime and illegal practices, but he helps the authorities of any breach of the law, of which he may be aware.

v He does not depend on other help on the other hand he is always ready to help those who are in need of help. He contributes generously to all the funds, which aim at promoting, the welfare of the people. 

v But most important of all is the moral character of a citizen. The national character of any country is, after all the sum total of the character of its citizens. If a country has honest and respectable citizens, it will surely command respect in foreign lands. Perhaps, the best way to develop the sense of responsibility and respectability among the citizen of a country is to .Jive them the highest possible education.
