The writing of an essay in English is one of the most difficult tasks a Pakistani student has to undertake. Often the student complains that he has no storage of ideas at his disposal of a . particular topic. Naturally he comes to the teacher with the ever-ready question, How can I

obtain the information needed for this essay”? There is no direct road of the kind to which he can obtain the information needed for thiss essay"? There is no direct road of the kind to which he can be led. The only answer that a teacher can give his student is that he should (1) Read, (2) Observe,(3) Think, and (4) Practise writing.

Here are four rules, and the last is the most important. Let us take them one by one.

Reading:

In order to write an essay the student must have something to write about and so he should always carry a book in his hand or in his pocket, nor does it mean that he should cast a cursory glance at its pages or merely turn them over mechanically without noticing what is contained in them. It means something more than all this. To read a book is to live in the world ‘ever fresh,ever new’ created by the author. To read Hamlet or Kublai Khan is to enjoy the play as if it is being acted before our eyes or to be in the. presence of the Abyssinian damsel with the dulcimer.

Books are peopled with creatures that are more real than the actual things of this world, and to enjoy their company is the happiest moment of our life. When we read great author we are ‘laid asleep in body,’ become ‘a living soul,’ and see into ‘the life of things’. 

“Reading maketh a full man, conference a ready man, and writing an exact man”.
