Explanation:
I study in a national type secondary school in Malaysia. It is in Selangor and is one of the progressive schools in the country. It is a co-educational school and prepares students for “O” level and “A” level examinations. The school is lucky in having, hard-working and intelligent members on the staff with an all-rounder as Headmaster. In academic as well as sports our school has always been in the top of the list.
For the Independence Day Celebration, the Minister of Education was invited. He readily accepted the invitation. There was a tremendous preparation going on for a week for the celebration. A face life was given to the school. Flags and festoons were hung up and in view of the Minister’s visit invitations were sent to prominent people of the town.
The festive day came. Our school hall where the guests were to be seated was tastefully decorated. The guests were received at the entrance by the Headmaster and the committee members of the school. The school band was in attendance. The secretary of the school led the chief guest to the seat.
After a formal prayer, the Headmaster read a welcome address in which he expatiated on the services of the honorable Minister of Education. One of the senior students garlanded the guest. Then the guest addressed the gathering.
At the outset he had a few words of praise for the school. He spoke highly of the members of the staff who had been working hard to make the students good citizens. Then he spoke of the greatness of the country which was sharping well in all fields. He advised the students to work hard and become great citizens because he said the future of the country depended on the quality of its citizens. So the students as future citizens must become big mentally, physically and spiritually. He exhorted the students to develop a national outlook and at the same time they must develop their faculty to appreciate the international situation. He asked them to be prepared to contribute their part for the well-being of the country. He advised the teachers to look for the aptitude of their students and develop them accordingly. He asked students to spend more time in the laboratory, in the library and on the play fields. He said that an industrious nation would always flourish.
