Do not judge a book by its cover

Write a story to illustrate the above saying

I live in a five-storey walk-up flat. Since it is not a self-contained area, I used to go to the supermarket every Saturday to get all my provisions for a week. As my Sedan was just slightly over two months old, I would wait until late in the evening when the rush hour traffic would dwindle. Then, driving along the roads and highways would actually be a pleasure. It was on one of these Saturday evenings while I was cruising along the Federal Highway, that I found my car suddenly veering to the left. I pulled over by the side of the road to inspect my vehicle. I discovered that I had a flat tyre. I did not have the slightest idea of how to change a punctured tyre. Gosh, I am stranded, I thought. I felt vulnerable and terribly alone. I had been fed with all kinds of facts and fiction about what an unsafe place the city was, with all sorts of shady characters waiting to prey and pounce on isolated targets especially ladies. A number of vehicles whizzed past me, nobody stopped to find out if I needed any help. Night was creeping in. All of a sudden, a grey jalopy pulled over just behind my car. A heavyset man in overalls alighted from the car. I took in his shabby appearance-stained overalls, unkempt hair and his stubble of grey and white. 'What's wrong?' he asked. 'A flat tyre,' was the only retort I could manage. He asked me to step aside, while he went about remedying matters. I was terrified and I did not dare to take my eyes off from what he was doing. Was he going to rob me of my cash and jewelry or was he going to drive off in my brand new car? I occasionally stole surreptitious glances at what he was doing. With deft movements, he changed the punctured tyre. 'O.K. Madam, here's your car. Have a nice journey,' he said with a big grin. He fished out a handkerchief from his pocket and started to wipe out the grime and dirt from his hands. I thanked him profusely. He just nodded and sauntered past me. As I turned the key in the ignition, I saw him looking furtively over his shoulder to make sure that everything was alright. As I made my way to my destination. I told myself that I will never again judge a book by its cover.

A story on Determination, self-reliance and diligence

Write a story on determination, self-reliance and diligence

It had been a wretched life all along -- a miserable childhood stricken with poverty and hunger and a short and uneventful adolescence leading to marriage. Then came the most devastating blow of all. Lannie was just 26 years old when her husband died of an illness. She had no one to turn to -- her friends and relatives, themselves struggling with poverty, were in no position to offer help. From then on it was a difficult life, an uphill struggle. She had nine children to feed. Her husband had left her no savings. She was uneducated and unemployed. Few people would have had the strength to go on but she did, not so much for herself but for her children. Getting up at the crack of dawn, she would work until just before dusk. Before the rest of the household was up, she would have lit the charcoal stove and got the meals ready. She worked as a maid, earning a meager salary. To supplement her income, she sold refreshments before going to work in the morning. Despite poverty, she did not turn to anyone for help. She realized that help never came without strings attached. Single-handedly, she brought up her nine children. It was never easy but as her children grew up they knew that they would one day repay her for the sacrifices she had made. In spite of her hard life, Lannie never complained. She took life and its difficulties in her stride. Her priority was her children, and she was determined that they should have a good education and never suffer the same fate as she had. Her courage and determination spurred her children on. Now, the past is behind her -- thirty years of anxiety, hardship and agony. Today, she enjoys the fruits of her labor -- two of her children are engineers, one is a doctor and another a teacher. Even as she reminisces about her past, there is not a tinge of bitterness because she knows that the toil and hardship were all worthwhile.

A story on moral values

A story on moral values Write an essay on how a handicapped student became successful because of his diligence and determination. Samuel Berger's story is a fine example to prove the adage, 'Where there is a will, there is a way.' He is the epitome of courage and success. Samuel, the eldest of four siblings, was born with a physical deformity. Born to parents who were contract workers at a plantation, his future at first looked bleak. However, Samuel was not one to be cowed by his disability. He was determined to succeed. He had always wanted to be a doctor. And that was why he studied conscientiously and diligently.It was uphill all the way. He spent most of his free time studying in the small noisy house. He earned some pocket money by giving tuition to some of his neighbors' children. He gave the bulk of his earnings to his mother. With the remainder, he bought revision books. True grit won. He overcame the barriers. He passed his preliminary and high school exams with flying colors. It was the same scenario in sports. He was adept in badminton and athletics. His versatility in sports was unmatched. He would always grab the gold or silver medals in most sporting events for the handicapped. Two months after the announcement of the high school results, Samuel Berger was offered a federal scholarship to take up medicine at the University of Pennsylvania. He is now on his way to realizing his dreams. He is the ideal model not only for the physically handicapped but also for those who are able-bodied. His determination and will to succeed have made him a winner. adage saying epitome a typical example of a stated quality adept skilful Click here to lauch more sample english essays : http://www.englishdaily626.com/ (source)
