Model Essay<\/h2>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n
\n

The multiplicity of subjects that I have to study sometimes bewilders me. I often wonder the utility of studying Shakespeare in English Literature, History, Geography, Social Studies, etc. There are a host of other subjects, which probably have no use. This to my mind is not, for each subject is unique in importance.<\/p>\n

All the subjects that I am studying at present would help me develop a holistic approach to life. It would help me identify my area of interest, enabling me to choose a subject for higher studies. Moreover knowledge of other subjects is important, for a doctor must know, why and how climatic variations take place. A historian should also have elementary knowledge of the human body, to take proper care of his own health.<\/p>\n

However, out of all the subjects I am studying, I have a special liking for Science, because it is more practical and useful in everyday life. It is not only interesting but also systematic and logical. Chemistry and Physics are tough no doubt, but quite engrossing. Biology is the most interesting of the three, for it dwells on issues concerning my health. Besides this, I get to know the functions of different organs of the body like heart, liver, and kidney. Knowledge of hygiene and health enables me to avoid dreadful diseases like malaria, chickenpox, and dysentery. In the unfortunate event of affliction with these diseases, I can take care of myself. The reason for my choice is obvious. It would help me realise my ambition of becoming a doctor, a profession which is noble and respectable.<\/p>\n

My interest in Science would enable me to pursue medicine as a career in later life. However, to fulfil my dream I would have to pass the pre-medical competitive examination, that is held every year for selecting students to pursue medical studies in a medical college. The competition is very tough because lakhs of students appear in the examination for only a few thousand seats.<\/p>\n

The competition would be stiff indeed, but this does not deter me, for I am not studying out of compulsion or force, but for the love of the subject. I know that my labour would not go in vain, for I firmly believe in the words of HW Longfellow, \u201cLife\u2019s battle don\u2019t always go to the stronger or the fastest man, but sooner or later the man who wins is the man who thinks he can.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/div>\n\n

\n Practice tip:<\/strong> Do not simply say that your chosen subject is \u201cimportant\u201d. Explain why it is important to you<\/em>. Connect it with your interests, everyday usefulness, future studies, career plans or a skill you want to develop.\n <\/div>\n\n

Writing Technique<\/div>\n

Understanding This Composition<\/h2>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n
\n
\n
1<\/div>\n

The essay acknowledges the value of other subjects<\/h3>\n <\/div>\n
\n

The writer does not dismiss every subject except Science. The opening recognises that different subjects contribute to a broader education, which makes the later personal choice seem more thoughtful.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n

\n
\n
2<\/div>\n

The choice is clearly stated<\/h3>\n <\/div>\n
\n

After considering subjects generally, the model identifies Science as the preferred subject. A prompt asking \u201cwhich one\u201d needs a definite choice rather than a vague discussion of several possibilities.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n

\n
\n
3<\/div>\n

Personal interest and practical use are combined<\/h3>\n <\/div>\n
\n

The writer explains that Science is interesting, systematic and useful in daily life. This gives the choice more than one justification and keeps the response from depending on career ambition alone.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n

\n
\n
4<\/div>\n

The subject is linked directly to a future goal<\/h3>\n <\/div>\n
\n

The model connects Science with the ambition of becoming a doctor and pursuing medical studies. This directly answers the word \u201cfuture\u201d in the prompt and gives the essay a clear personal direction.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n

\n
\n
5<\/div>\n

The conclusion returns to motivation<\/h3>\n <\/div>\n
\n

The final paragraph emphasises studying out of genuine interest rather than compulsion. This closes the essay on personal motivation and determination rather than simply repeating that Science is useful.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n
