1. A school library

A school without a library is unthinkable these days. It has books on various subjects, newspapers, journals, and magazines. Students, especially those who want to broaden their knowledge, go to the library in their vacant periods and study.

My school has an up-to-date library. It is quite big. It is housed in a separate room. There are nearly twenty-five bookshelves. They are placed along the walls of the room. The shelves have glass pane. Besides textbooks, the almirahs have books on travels, biographies, history, and geography.

On one side of the library hall, there are long tables and benches. Students sit there and read newspapers, journals, and magazines; some take down notes. Nobody is permitted to talk to disturb others.

The library also has references and textbooks. These are meant for studying in the library only. The calm and quiet atmosphere of the library helps the students to work attentively.

The school librarian is a trained and qualified person and well-experienced. He gives advice to students on the choice of books. He is an expert in his work. He understands his duty well and is of great help to students. We find him busy all the time. He advises students not to spoil books by scribbling in them or tearing off the pages.

A librarian is in charge of the school library. The library is always open on all the days of the week. The students get the books directly from the librarian. The books are well graded. The students find no difficulty in the selection of books. The students read books during the week. They return them the following week. Nobody is allowed to keep a book for more than two weeks.

The school library is a good way to develop general knowledge. The students beget studious habits. It creates a taste for a book after school life. The library creates a love for books among the weak boys. It gives opportunities to make the best use of our leisure time. It gives us day-to-day information about the world.

2. Hobby

A hobby is a leisure activity that people do for fun or recreation. A hobby is something that one likes to do in one’s spare time. It is developed through a constant and systematic process. Hobbies play an important role in developing one’s personality. They keep a person active, busy and cheerful. There is hardly a person who does not have a hobby. The educated and the uneducated alike pursue one hobby or the other. Some hobbies like flying kites, gardening, reading books, periodicals, swimming, painting, listening to music, etc. are fairly popular. The youth today who are too busy to devote time to hobbies should choose career-oriented hobbies. The old and the young equally derive pleasure from hobbies. Hobbies should have a creative and instructive effect upon the person. People may have many different types of hobbies during their lifetimes. The main goal of a hobby is to give you an enjoyable break from your everyday work or school. A hobby is something you should do only for yourself. Hobbies are interesting pursuits which people engage in to add interest to their daily life. A hobby affords a welcome change from the dull routine of life. It refreshes the mind. It keeps us usefully busy. It saves us from evil companies. It is a source of recreation and amusement. A hobby is a necessity for the proper enjoyment of life. Different people cultivate different hobbies. Painting, photography, swimming, singing, gardening, stamp collecting, picture collecting, hunting, fishing, carpentry and nature study, are some common hobbies. My hobby is reading. I read storybooks, magazines, newspapers and any kind of material that I find interesting. This hobby got started when I was a little boy. I had always wanted my parents to read fairy tales and other stories to me. Soon they got fed up and tired of having to read to me continually. So as soon as I could, I learned to read. I started with simple ABC books. Soon I could read simple fairy tales and other stories. Now I read just about anything that is available. Reading enables me to learn about so many things that I would otherwise not know. The wonderful thing about reading is that I do not have to learn things the hard way. Books provide the reader with so much information and facts. They have certainly helped me in my daily life. I am better equipped to cope with living. Otherwise, I would go about ignorantly learning things the hard way. So I continue to read. Besides being more informed about the world, I also spend my time profitably. It is indeed a good hobby.

6.Good Health

Good health is an asset. It is the most valuable possession in human life. To speak the truth, it is the greatest wealth of all things on earth. It is said that good health is the source of all happiness. Good health and happiness go side by side. Health is the sound state of the body as well as of mind. A healthy man must have soundness of mind as well as the soundness of the body. To be healthy, one must grow up in a balanced way. To keep good health, one has to eat a balanced diet, drink clean water, take fresh air, rest properly and take physical exercise regularly. For the retention of mental health, one has to control one's emotions and one has to have patience and respect for other people's feelings and rights. However, life without good health is boring and unbearable. It is so often heard that a person possessing ill-health prefers death to life. So, everyone should take care of their health.
