Visit to book fair



Last Sunday I went to see book fair in Pragati maiden. I went with my friend. We went by bus. We reached there at 10 am. There was a long queue. We stood in the queue. Our turn came after 1 hour. We went inside. There was much crowd. We visited many stalls. There was a separate section for children’s books. I purchased a book on animals. There were many publishers and authors. We took autographs of some authors. We took part in a quiz competition. My friend won second prize. There were many food stalls also. We ate pizza. We spend whole day there. We were tired. We came back home late evening. We enjoyed very much. I cannot forget that day.    

Newspaper



             Newspaper is very useful in our life. They introduce us with important national and international incidents. They widen our outlook. They enrich our knowledge. They deepen our understanding. A man will become “frog of a well “without newspaper.

            Newspapers also act as a medium between government and common people. By newspaper we can communicate with Government, put pressure on it and give suggestions. Newspapers are wonderful means of building public opinion.
            Newspapers are also helpful in business. We can see adverstiments of all sorts for promoting product. Newspaper also plays a role in entertainment.
Newspapers are true mirror of a society.

I was really enjoying my study. After taking breakfast, I took rest for one hour. Then I learnt Q-Ans of first book. In the afternoon, I watched TV. Then I slept for sometime. In the evening I learnt Q-Ans of second book and revised grammar portion. I called my friend and we practiced some exercises of grammar. By 8:00 pm my revision was complete. After dinner I went to bed. I was satisfied
