उत्तर
What I would like to do for my country
Everyone loves their motherland and likes to serve it. But very few people know how best they can do so. I have various choices before me. If I want more exciting work, I may join the Army, the Air Force, or the Navy. By doing so, I will strengthen the defence of the country. I may thus get a chance to lay down my life for the country's sake. No service can be more excellent than my life's sacrifice to protect our freedom. A place among the immortals is assured for those who die for the country's defence.
The work of a teacher, a farmer, or a worker is less glorious but no less significant to the country. Every man in his station of life can serve his country, doing his duty to the best of his ability. So, whatever my occupation in life is, it is not insignificant. I can serve my country by doing my duty well, and in doing so, I am contributing to the greater good of our nation. However, I am only a student at present. How can I serve my country best as a student? I can serve my country in many ways. I am a student of science, and therefore, I should prepare myself to become a true scientist. Our country needs a number of scientists. By preparing myself to become a scientist, I can do a very useful service to the country. Secondly, being the son of a shopkeeper, I can explain to my father the need to hold the price line. If I can bring him around, it will not mean service to the country. Thirdly, I own a house which has a garden around it. I can grow more vegetables in my kitchen garden, thus adding my mite towards solving the food problem. Along with this, at the end of the month, they can serve the country by saving some food.
