important school event.

Story:
The auditorium buzzed with excitement as the annual talent show reached
its climax. I sat backstage, my palms sweating as I prepared for my piano
performance. This was my moment to prove myself. The spotlight called
my name, and I stepped onto the stage, greeted by an eruption of
applause.
As my fingers touched the keys, disaster struck—a loud, discordant sound
filled the room. My piano was out of tune. The audience began whispering,
their expressions shifting from admiration to confusion. Panic surged
through me, but then I noticed something unusual. A small boy, no older
than ten, walked onto the stage, holding a violin.
"May I join you?" he asked softly, his wide eyes brimming with
determination.
Nodding, I adjusted my sheet music to accommodate a duet. As he began
playing, his melody breathed life into my shaky rhythm. Together, we
improvised a piece that transcended the initial disaster. By the end, the
audience erupted into a standing ovation, their cheers louder than anything
I had ever heard.
Later, I learned that the boy, Daniel, was a prodigy who had been too shy
to perform alone. Our impromptu collaboration not only saved my
performance but also gave him the confidence to shine.

Story 2
Topic: Write a story that includes the sentence: “When I saw the
photograph, the memories came rushing back.”
Story:
I was cleaning out my grandmother’s attic when I stumbled upon a dusty
box labeled "Memories." Curiosity pulled me closer. Inside, I found a stack
of old photographs, each one a window to a world long gone.

One photo caught my eye—a black-and-white image of two children

holding hands on a beach. When I saw the photograph, the memories
came rushing back.
I was one of the children in the picture. The boy beside me was my
childhood friend, Amir, who had moved away when we were ten. We had
spent countless summers building sandcastles and chasing waves,
promising to stay friends forever. But as years passed, life happened, and
we lost touch.
Determined to find Amir, I searched online, combing through social media
and forums. Weeks turned into months, and just when I was about to give
up, I received a message. It was Amir.
We met at the same beach where the photograph had been taken. Time
had changed us, but the bond we shared was untouched. As we walked
along the shore, the waves carried away the years of silence, leaving only
the warmth of rekindled friendship.

Story 1: Write a story that includes the sentence: “When I saw the
photograph, the memories came rushing back.”

Story:
The attic was a treasure trove of forgotten relics, a place where time stood
still. Dust motes danced in the golden light streaming through the single,
cracked window. My task was simple: clear out the space before it was
renovated. But as I sifted through the piles of old books, tarnished trophies,
and brittle letters, I found a weathered album tucked away in the corner.

Curiosity got the better of me, and I flipped it open. It was a collection of
photographs—each picture a fragment of someone’s life. One particular
photo made my hands freeze mid-turn. It was a faded image of two
children, arms around each other, grinning ear to ear on a beach. When I
saw the photograph, the memories came rushing back.

I was the boy in the picture, and the girl beside me was Hana, my
childhood best friend. We had spent countless summers by the sea,
sharing secrets and dreams. Hana had been my partner in every
escapade, my unwavering ally in mischief. But she had vanished from my
life after a tragic accident—an accident I never fully understood.

The photograph ignited a spark of determination. I began to piece together

the fragments of our past, calling old neighbors and searching through
archives. Finally, I learned that Hana had survived the accident but had
moved abroad for treatment.

I tracked her down, and a month later, we met on the same beach from the
photograph. Time had changed us—her hair was streaked with silver, and
her smile carried the weight of untold stories. As we walked along the
familiar shore, we talked about the years we had lost and the memories we
would create anew.

Story 2: Write a story where a small act of kindness has an unexpected and
life-changing consequence.
Story:
The rain was relentless, drumming against the pavement as I hurried
home. I had just left the café after another exhausting shift, my feet aching
and my mind preoccupied with overdue bills. As I turned the corner, I saw
him—a frail old man hunched on a bench, shivering beneath a threadbare
coat.

Something in his eyes stopped me. They were weary but kind, as if he was
silently resigned to his situation. Without overthinking, I approached him,
offering the only thing I had to spare—a warm cup of tea from my thermos
and a dry scarf.

“Thank you,” he murmured, his voice trembling.

I didn’t stay long; I had my own struggles to face. But that small act lingered
in my mind as I trudged home. Days turned into weeks, and the encounter
faded into the background of my busy life.

Then, one morning, a letter arrived. It was from a law firm. My heart raced
as I read its contents. The man I had helped that rainy evening was a
retired philanthropist. Moved by my kindness, he had decided to leave me
a portion of his estate in his will—a modest but life-changing amount.

Suddenly, my burdens seemed lighter. I used the money to pay off my

debts and enroll in a course I had long dreamed of: social work. Every step
forward felt like a tribute to the man who had seen my potential when I
couldn’t see it myself.

Story 3: Write a story that begins with: "As soon as I opened the envelope, I
knew my life was about to change forever."
Story:
As soon as I opened the envelope, I knew my life was about to change
forever. The crimson wax seal bore the insignia of The Hamilton
Foundation—a scholarship I had dared to apply for but never imagined
winning. My heart pounded as I unfolded the letter, the bolded words
confirming it: Congratulations!

For years, my world had been confined to the narrow streets of Clifton
Lane. My parents worked tirelessly to make ends meet, their dreams
sacrificed so I could chase mine. This scholarship meant not only an
escape from the cycle of struggle but also a ticket to a future I had scarcely
allowed myself to envision.

The weeks that followed were a whirlwind. I packed my few belongings and
bid tearful farewells to my family and friends. At Hamilton University, I was
a nobody among prodigies. The lectures were grueling, and the culture
shock was palpable. Every setback whispered doubts into my ears, but I
held onto the memory of my parents’ tear-streaked faces as they waved me
goodbye.

Then came the pivotal day—the debate competition. I hesitated to sign up,
convinced I wasn’t good enough. But the voice of my high school teacher
echoed in my mind: “You have a gift with words. Don’t let fear silence you.”
Standing on that stage, I poured my heart into my argument, weaving logic
with passion. When the applause erupted and the judges announced my
name as the winner, I felt an unfamiliar surge of pride.

That moment marked a turning point. Over the years, I thrived—graduating

with honors, founding an outreach program for underprivileged students,
and finally returning to Clifton Lane to inspire others. The envelope had
been more than an opportunity; it was the key to unlocking a destiny I
hadn’t dared to dream of.

Story:
The annual school presentation night was one of the most anticipated
events of the year. For weeks, Maya had been preparing for her turn on
stage. As the star of the school debate team, she was given the honor of
presenting a well-researched argument on the importance of climate
change awareness. It was the perfect moment to showcase her skills.
Every detail had been planned: she’d practiced her speech until it was
flawless, and her classmates, especially her best friend Adil, were excited
to watch her.

Adil, sitting in the front row, smiled at Maya as she stood backstage,
adjusting her microphone. “You’re going to nail this, Maya!” he said. Maya
grinned back, her heart pounding with nervous excitement. She could
already hear the murmurs of the audience as they waited for her to speak.

When her name was called, Maya stepped onto the stage with confidence.
She adjusted the lectern, cleared her throat, and began. “Good evening,
everyone. Today, I’m going to talk about a topic that affects all of us:
climate change…” The audience sat in rapt attention, nodding along as
Maya spoke about rising global temperatures, the loss of biodiversity, and
the urgent need for action.

As she neared the climax of her speech, Maya reached into her pocket to
pull out the flash drive containing her carefully prepared visuals. But when
she tried to plug it into the laptop, she was horrified to find that it wasn’t
there. Panic surged in her chest. She checked her pockets again. Nothing.
Her flash drive had disappeared.

Her mind went blank. She had no backup of her visuals. She had practiced
the speech with the visuals several times, relying on them to support her
argument. Now, without them, she felt lost. The audience began shifting in
their seats. The awkward silence stretched, and Maya’s palms grew sweaty
as she tried to maintain her composure.
Desperately, she looked at Adil, who gave her a reassuring thumbs-up from
the front row. His gesture was a small beacon of support, but it wasn’t
enough to calm the storm in her mind. “Keep going, Maya!” he mouthed
silently.

Maya took a deep breath. She could either let the moment defeat her, or
she could keep going. She chose the latter. Stepping back from the lectern,
she decided to speak without the visuals, relying solely on the strength of
her words. “It’s clear that climate change is real, and it affects every part of
our lives—our air, our water, and our future. It’s not just a problem for
scientists to solve; it’s up to all of us.”

Though the audience seemed unsure at first, Maya’s confidence slowly

began to build. She focused on the facts, the passion behind her message,
and the urgency of the situation. As she continued, her voice grew steadier.
By the time she finished, there was a thunderous round of applause. The
lack of visuals had not weakened her argument; it had, in fact, enhanced
her ability to connect with the audience on a deeper level.

Afterward, Adil rushed to her side backstage. “Maya, you were amazing!
You didn’t let the missing flash drive stop you. You handled that so well!”

Maya smiled, relieved. “Thanks, Adil. I couldn’t have done it without your
encouragement.”

Though the night had been filled with unexpected challenges, Maya
realized that the true test wasn’t about having everything go according to
plan. It was about how you adapted when things went wrong. And that
night, she had proven that even in the worst moments, she could still shine.

Analysis
Content Analysis:
Introduction: The story opens with Maya preparing for a highly anticipated
school event, setting up the stakes of her big moment. The introduction
clearly presents the protagonist’s goal and the anticipation leading to the
event.
Rising Action: The rising action builds tension by describing Maya’s
preparation and the buildup to her speech. The audience’s attention and
Maya’s emotions grow, creating a sense of impending success.
Climax: The story hits its climax when Maya discovers that her flash drive,
containing essential visuals for her speech, is missing. This creates the
unexpected conflict that threatens her performance and adds tension to the
moment.
Falling Action: As Maya looks to her friend Adil for support, she decides to
push through without the visuals, demonstrating resilience and
determination. The shift from panic to composure illustrates her inner
strength.
Resolution: The story concludes on a positive note, with Maya receiving
applause for her performance. This resolution emphasizes the theme of
overcoming adversity, showing that success is not just about preparation,
but also about how one handles the unexpected.
Language Features and Writing Quality:
Strong Vocabulary: The use of vocabulary such as "resilience," "panic,"
"composure," and "thunderous" effectively conveys Maya’s emotional
journey and the high stakes of the situation. Words like "desperately" and
"awkward silence" help to establish the tension, while "confidence" and
"thunderous applause" signify her eventual triumph.
Balanced Sentence Structure: The sentences vary in length to create
rhythm and impact. Shorter sentences during the peak moment of panic
(e.g., “Nothing. Her flash drive had disappeared.”) heighten the urgency. In
contrast, longer sentences (e.g., "Stepping back from the lectern, she
decided to speak without the visuals, relying solely on the strength of her
words.") create a sense of decision and resolve.
Adjectives and Emotional Tone: Adjectives like "horrified," "lost," and
"desperately" provide a vivid sense of Maya’s internal state, while positive
terms like "reassuring," "amazing," and "thunderous" help shift the tone as
she finds her confidence and the speech becomes a success.
Imagery: The imagery in “the awkward silence stretched” and “her palms
grew sweaty” helps the reader feel the tension in the scene. The vivid
description of the “thunderous round of applause” gives a satisfying
resolution, reinforcing the emotional payoff.
Direct Speech: Dialogue between Maya and Adil emphasizes their
friendship and mutual support. It shows Adil’s unwavering belief in Maya,
which strengthens the emotional core of the story.
Improvements:
The story could be enhanced by exploring more of Maya’s internal thoughts
during the panic. Describing her internal monologue during the flash drive
incident would deepen the emotional connection with the reader.
A bit more emphasis on the buildup to the speech and how Maya reacts to
the audience’s initial confusion would add complexity to her character’s
development.
This story follows a clear Freytag’s Pyramid structure with a strong climax
and resolution, demonstrating Maya’s growth through adversity. It also
highlights themes of resilience, support, and the importance of adapting to
unexpected situations. The story is emotionally engaging, with a mix of
tension and relief that makes for an impactful narrative.
Persuasive Passage Example
Topic: Why Public Transport Should Be Free for Everyone
Imagine a city where streets are no longer choked with traffic, where
pollution levels drop significantly, and where every citizen, regardless of
income, can travel with dignity. Making public transport free for everyone is
not a far-fetched dream—it is an achievable solution to pressing urban
challenges like congestion, climate change, and inequality.
Firstly, free public transport would reduce traffic congestion. In cities like
Karachi, the daily commute is a nightmare, with endless traffic jams
wasting valuable time and energy. By offering free, reliable buses and
trains, more people would leave their cars at home, leading to smoother
roads and faster commutes. Isn’t this a better alternative to building more
flyovers that only encourage car dependency?
Secondly, free transport is an environmental necessity. With global
warming threatening our planet, cutting down on car usage is critical. Public
transport emits far fewer greenhouse gases per passenger than private
vehicles. If governments take bold steps to make buses and trains
accessible to all, they could significantly reduce their carbon footprints and
contribute to a greener future.
Critics might argue that free transport would burden taxpayers. However,
consider the hidden costs of maintaining road infrastructure, healthcare
expenses due to pollution-related illnesses, and productivity losses caused
by traffic jams. Wouldn’t investing in free transport be a smarter, long-term
solution?
Finally, free transport promotes social equity. For low-income individuals,
transportation is often a barrier to better opportunities. By removing this
cost, society ensures that everyone, regardless of their financial status, can
access education, jobs, and essential services.
In conclusion, free public transport is not just a luxury—it is a necessity for
modern cities striving for sustainability and fairness. It is time to prioritize
the collective good over individual convenience. After all, a city that moves
together, grows together.

Example Discursive Essay
Topic: Should Social Media Be Banned in Schools?

In today’s digital age, social media plays a significant role in the lives of
students. While some believe that social media has detrimental effects on
education, others argue that it can be a tool for learning and development.
This essay will explore both sides of the argument, weighing the pros and
cons of allowing social media in schools.

On one hand, social media provides students with a wealth of information

and resources. Platforms like YouTube, Twitter, and Facebook can be used
to access educational content, such as tutorials, documentaries, and
articles that can enhance learning. Students can join educational groups or
forums where they can ask questions, collaborate on projects, and share
ideas with peers and experts. For instance, students studying history can
follow historians on Twitter or participate in online discussions about
current events. This kind of interaction encourages critical thinking and
broadens their understanding of the subject.

Moreover, social media can help students stay connected with their peers
and teachers outside school hours. Virtual study groups or teacher-student
interactions on platforms like WhatsApp can support academic growth and
foster a sense of community. It also provides an opportunity for shy
students, who may struggle with face-to-face communication, to express
themselves more freely online.

However, the negative aspects of social media cannot be ignored. One of

the most significant concerns is the impact it has on students’ mental
health. Excessive use of social media has been linked to feelings of
loneliness, anxiety, and depression. Platforms like Instagram, which
promote idealized images of beauty and success, can lead to unhealthy
comparisons, contributing to low self-esteem, especially among teenagers.
Furthermore, social media can be a major source of distraction. Students
often find themselves scrolling through their feeds instead of focusing on
their studies, leading to a decline in academic performance.
Another issue is cyberbullying. With the rise of online communication,
students are at risk of encountering harmful comments, harassment, and
exclusion. Unlike traditional bullying, cyberbullying can occur at any time,
even after school hours, making it harder for students to escape. This
constant pressure can create an unsafe environment for vulnerable
students, affecting their mental and emotional well-being.

In conclusion, while social media offers educational benefits and

opportunities for connection, its drawbacks, such as mental health issues,
distractions, and cyberbullying, cannot be overlooked. Schools should not
ban social media entirely, but they should implement clear guidelines on its
usage to ensure that it enhances rather than hinders learning. By striking a
balance between responsible use and regulation, social media can be a
useful tool for students, both inside and outside the classroom.

Tips and Tricks for Writing a Narrative Essay

A narrative essay tells a story with a specific point or message. It is

essential to structure your narrative effectively, so it holds the reader’s
attention while conveying the intended lesson or theme.

1. Choose a Clear Topic

Pick a personal or imaginative story that can effectively convey your
message or theme.
The story could revolve around an event, experience, or moment that made
an impact on you or changed your perspective.

2. Structure Your Essay with Freytag’s Pyramid

Exposition: Introduce the setting, characters, and the situation.
Rising Action: Develop the story by introducing challenges or conflicts.
Climax: The turning point or most intense moment of the story.
Falling Action: The events following the climax that lead toward resolution.
Resolution: Conclude the story, showing how the conflict or problem was
resolved or left unresolved.

3. Focus on Strong Descriptive Details

Use vivid imagery, metaphors, and sensory language to immerse the
reader in your story.
Show, don't just tell. Instead of saying, "She was angry," describe her
clenched fists and the way her voice shook.

4. Use a Consistent Point of View

Decide whether your narrative will be in the first person ("I"), second person
("you"), or third person ("he/she").
Stay consistent throughout the essay.
5. Make the Ending Meaningful
A strong narrative conclusion often ties back to the theme or message,
providing reflection or insight into the lesson learned.

6. Keep the Reader Engaged

Introduce conflict or an unexpected twist to hold the reader’s attention.
Avoid dragging the story with too much detail that doesn't contribute to the
main theme.

7. Develop Characters
Make your characters realistic and relatable. Even if they’re based on real
people, give them depth through thoughts, emotions, and actions.

8. Include Dialogue When Necessary

Dialogue can break up the narrative and reveal character personalities.
Make sure it’s meaningful to the story.

9. Write in Chronological Order or Flashbacks

You can choose to write in chronological order or use flashbacks to reveal
key moments. However, keep it clear and organized so readers can follow
the timeline.

10. Edit and Revise

After writing, revisit your essay and edit for clarity, grammar, and structure.
