Bad habits to avoid during vacation

This is regarding the article “Bad habits to avoid during vacation” by Ambreen Arshad (YW, June 9). The article emphasised on how we can overcome the usual bad habits, which include laziness and doing nothing than wasting time on the social media.

People should give their precious time to fruitful activities, like learning new skills, reading books, spending time with family and indulging in good conversation with elders. This will indirectly make people stay away from gadgets and they will realise the importance of family and other things around them.

In the article “Boost your word bank” by Yasmin Elahi, the writer stressed upon the importance of having a good vocabulary and has encouraged students to learn new words in order to enhance and improve on their writing, speaking and listening skills.

The article contained some easy-to-follow steps to increase one’s vocabulary, such as reading a lot, asking the meaning of a new word from a teacher or a friend whenever one may find any difficulty in understanding the meaning. Learning new words helps you to be a fluent speaker as well as an active listener.

Goal

For an ambitious person, goals have great importance. Goals give you a path to move towards your destination. If you have set something in mind, you must follow the path no matter how troublesome it may get.

There will be many problems in your way, but be optimistic and remain persistent until you succeed.
