It is a great blessing to have friends. It is a natural phenomenon to make friends. At the school level, we make friends, share with them our things, and lunch box, and discuss little innocent matters. We feel happy to play with them and sometimes we go to school and play together.
But to make a friend, we must keep some points in our mind. He must be honest, kind-hearted and caring. If a person has these qualities you can make him your friend and start your friendship which will be long lasting. Every person has some weaknesses, so when you say, he is my friend, then accept him with all his weaknesses and improve him through your good behavior and smile. If your friend gives you time for playing and helps you in your studies and does not waste your time and takes care of you, your time and study, are your loyal friend, you can trust him. If your friend respects you and in return you respect him, and he forbids you from wrong doing, is your true friend.

Every education helps man to make him civilized, sensible, and a good citizen, therefore the role of Traffic education is very important in this regard to drive the vehicle on the road safely. We daily travel in different vehicles, some use their own cars and some use public transport, therefore we must know the basic rules of how to drive a vehicle, what is a function of one way-traffic and two way-traffic, how we can follow the white lines which are drawn. So the vehicles follow them and avoid overspeed and rash driving. On every big road, we can see traffic signs with the help of the drivers, these signs include maximum speed, turn, signals, overhead bridge underpass, coming city or stop, etc. These signs help us in our driving so that we can safely reach our destination. In big cities, the flow of traffic is greater than the small cities. So we must follow the traffic signals and abide by the rules because these rules are only for our safety. The major cause of accidents on the roads are lack of traffic education which we do not follow. Every driver must get a traffic education and after the test, he/she should come on the road for the safety of himself/herself and others. When we follow the traffic rules, signs, and signals we can become responsible citizens.
I love cats! Cats are my favorite animals because they are cute, cuddly, and full of personality. They have soft fur that feels so nice to pet. Cats come in all sorts of colors and patterns, which makes them even more interesting. Cats are also very playful. They chase after toys and pounce on imaginary prey. It’s so much fun to watch them play. Cats are independent too. They can groom themselves and use a litter box, which makes them easy to take care of. But the best thing about cats is their purring. When a cat purrs, it’s like they’re telling you they’re happy and content. I love snuggling with my cat and listening to her purr. Cats are truly wonderful animals, and I’m lucky to have one as my pet.
