| There are so many lessons one can learn about life from a dog. Imagine this scenario: it is raining heavily outside and you need to leave for someone's house. The dog is up and eager, to go with you. You tell it to stay home. As you leave, you see it squeezing out through the gap in the doorway. You scold it and order it back home. Then at every turn you make, you suddenly see it following yousheepishly at a distance. It follows at the risk of being reprimanded for the sore reason of being somewhere nearby. How else can we experience so selfless an instance of love and faithfulness? We can learn a lifelong lesson from this sincere warm display of perpetual companionship.Observe the eating habits of your dog. It does not eat, except when hungry. It does not drink, unless it is thirsty. It does not gorge itself. It stops eating when it has had enough. A dog also sets a perfect example of adaptability. If it is moved to a strange place, it is able to adapt itself to that place and to its thousand peculiarities without a murmur of complaint. It is able to learn and adapt to a new family's ways and customs. It is quick and ready to please. Man, being accustomed tocomfort and wealth will be lost if suddenly stripped of all he is accustomed to. A dog also teaches us a thing or two about, unselfish love. When a dog knows death is approaching, it tries, with its last vestige of strength, to crawl away elsewhere to die, in order to burden its owners no more. A dog does things with all vigor. However, when there is nothing to do, it lies down and rests. It does not waste its strength and energy needlessly. Many working people are burning the candles at both ends. Many suffer nervous breakdowns due to stress. Perhaps, they should learn to rest like a dog does. A dog above all is truly man's best friend. | ||||||||||||||||||

My future plans

Almost everyone in the world has future plans. A person without any plans is likened to a ship sailing the ocean aimlessly without any destinations. Having plans help us know our objectives in life and this can help us realise our dreams more effectively.
Like most people, I have future plans as well. When planning for the future, the first plan that I make is to choose a profession. It is quite hard to make a defnite choice, because I know it will affect me for the rest of my life. I want a profession that is challenging, that satisfies me and brings me joy. I believe that a job should be like a hobby. I want to love my work and know that I am making a difference in this world by educating the younger generation. My ambition is to be an English teacher. I decide on a teaching career because of my great love for this international language, the language which is the most widely used in the world. That is my first reason.
The second reason is that, my mother encourages me to be a teacher and share my knowledge with the students in order to help them fulfill their wishes in their lives.

Not many students go through their teenage years without dreaming, thinking or simply imagining what their dream house would be like. I started dreaming of my dream house at the tender age of seven, when I accompanied my father to the outskirts of London to visit a distant aunt. Her house was the picture of tranquility. That quaint little cottage set the standard for my dream house. I imagine a house with a large garden in front, where my gardener would plant the most beautiful flowers of every shade imaginable. I would, of course, be able to pluck the flowers. I like to arrange them in my house. My house would have six spacious bedrooms, a large dining hall that would accommodate twenty people comfortably and a modern and well-equipped kitchen where I prepare nutritious meals for me and my family.
Almost everyone would love to have a car that suits their needs and is ideal for them. My dream car should be spacious and stylish. It is fast, but need not be the fastest car in the world, since speed kills. What I have in mind is a white Honda Accord, since white is my favourite colour. It has a good reputation of being a powerful and fuel-efficient car. I am able to save on fuel if I own a Honda car.
Furthermore, in my opinion, it is classy and has an attractive appearance.

At the age of seventeen, I am just a few years away from adulthood. It is only normal for someone to picture their future life partner at this age. Personally, I would prefer a good and decent man. He should be a bit handsome too. Apart from anything physical, he must be a committed Hindu like me, as I believe that it is best if a couple share the same religion and be blessed by their god. He must also be loyal and trustworthy. He would not lie and definitely should not flirt with anyone. He must be hardworking and determined, only then will he be rich enough to pay for the family expenses and support me financially during shopping or festive seasons. These are the traits I want in my future husband but the most important trait my husband should process is to treat me like a princess and love me just the way I am.
Finally, I must achieve all these future plans in my life. They may not be easy to accomplish but I am willing to strive hard and make the necessary sacrifices in order to be successful and have a higher standard of living. When I have actualised my major plans, I believe that I have lived my life to the fullest.

Describe what makes you happy and explain why.
It is human nature to long for a happy life. Carrying out activities that we enjoy bring us happiness and joy. There are a lot of things that make me happy and the top three are hanging out with my family and friends, reading and spending time with my pet cat Ginger.
I come from a medium-sized family that comprises five members. My elder brother and sister are married and currently residing in Singapore and Australia respectively. My parents are real joys to me as they are both loving and caring. When my older siblings come back home during the holidays, all of us would go on a sightseeing tour of the tourist attractions in Malaysia. Since we have strong family ties, we not only share our happy moments but assist one another to solve problems too.
I enjoy hanging out with my intimate friends or ‘BFFs’ - Zoe, Kate and Mia. On a typical Saturday or holiday, we visit the library to borrow books. We then head for the swimming pool, where we have a lot of fun playing and laughing. After that, we go to a shopping center to have lunch, shop, and possibly watch the latest film. We usually hang out until evening as that makes us happy and relaxed.
Reading is one of the hobbies that I enjoy the most. Through reading the newspaper, I not only know what is happening all over my home country but also abroad. Apart from that, I am also able to improve my language standards and perform better in examinations. Besides the papers, I also enjoy reading storybooks with captivating plots. Mystery and detective novels with interesting and unpredictable plots totally engross me. To me, reading is both entertaining and rewarding.
Due to the fact the I have a soft spot for animals, especially cats, spending time with my pet cat Ginger gives me a lot of pleasure. I found him under my father’s car one morning about two years ago. Mewing pitifully, he appeared skinny and hungry. I took pity on him and fed him some food. After his meal, I bathed him. I was glad that my mother allowed me to keep Ginger, which turned out to be an affectionate cat. Besides that, he is also a close companion and an excellent hunter.
I am glad to be blessed with my family, friends and cat. I consider myself fortunate and I enjoy every quality moment that I spend with them. I will most probably continue to pursue the hobby of reading as it is extremely beneficial. Since my life would be boring without them, I will always cherish them.
