Paragraph: Importance of Hardwork
gl
“Success is no accident; it is hard work, determination and learning.” Hard work is the key to
achieve our dreams. When we put in effort and don't give up, we can get our goals. We can

perform well in school, become an athlete, or learn a new skill. Hard work teaches us important
lessons like patience and determination. It helps us grow stronger and smarter. Imagine a seed
that needs water and sunlight to grow into a big, strong tree. Our efforts are like that water and
sunlight. Without hard work, even the best plans and dreams can fail. So, whether it's studying
for a test, practicing a sport, or working on a hobby, remember that hard work always helps you

improve and succeed. With dedication and effort, anything is possible!
Paragraph: The Impact of Social Media on Our Life
"Social media is everywhere in our lives today, shaping how we connect and share." It helps us
stay in touch with friends and family, no matter where they are in the world. We can easily share
pictures, videos, and updates about our lives. We can also get information about current events
and news. Social media can offer support for various interests. However, there are some
negative effects as well. Spending too much time on social media can reduce face-to-face

interactions. There are impacts on our mental health due to excessive use of social media.
People compare their lives to others and feel left out or unhappy. It is important to use social
media wisely and not let it take over our lives. By finding a balance between online and real-life
activities, we can make the most of social media’s benefits while avoiding its potential
drawbacks.

Summary of Mowing
In Robert Frost’s poem "Mowing," he shows how working hard in nature brings true happiness.
The poem begins with the poet alone in a quiet forest, where the only sound is his scythe softly
whispering to the ground. He thinks the scythe might be whispering about the heat of the sun.
The poet explains that the scythe’s whispering isn’t about dreaming of free time or easy money
from magical creatures. Instead, it represents the joy of working hard. The poem describes the
land with small flowers and a green snake, showing both beauty and challenges in life. In the
end, Robert Frost says that the real reward of hard work, like the fresh-cut hay, is the most
satisfying "sweetest dream" anyone can have.
