………………….. Thank God I found my Science Journal before the last date of submission

Answer 1

A1.
(i) Cleanliness is Godliness
Our bodies and our minds are our greatest instruments; they are our identity. It is essential that we treat them with respect by practicing proper hygiene of the body, mind and spirit. A clean body is a hallmark of a responsible person. Only in a clean body can a clean mind reside. And when the mind and the body are clean, it results in a clean spirit. A clean spirit ensures that all the actions and words of the person are also clean. A clean person resists bad thoughts and deeds. He thus rises above the rest and finds himself closer to God.

(ii) A stitch in time saves nine
A work done on time prevents many troubles. Procrastination can often cost us dearly if we are not prompt. For example, if one has a small tear in one’s garment, it would be wise to stitch it up as soon as possible. Ignoring it can result in the tear widening and eventually the garment would be of no use. Similarly, problems in relationships should be addressed before they could turn into big issues. Once we miss an opportunity, we may never get it back. Therefore, it is wise to never delay what has to be done immediately.

The mystery of my Science Journal
Two weeks before the submission, my friend Samir came to borrow my science journal. As he was a good friend, I gave it. Two days before the submission, he told me that he had lost
my journal. I was shocked. We went to his house and started searching everywhere but couldn’t find it. Later he remembered that he had forgotten it in the library. We rushed to the library. It wasn’t there. We asked the librarian who finally got it from the lost property section. I was so
happy and relieved. Thank God I found my Science Journal before the last date of submission.
