Question
Discuss in groups. Draw the haunted house described in the poem and write a paragraph about it in your own words.
Solution
The haunted house is at the top of the hill. There is no sign of human habitation in and around there. The bats were hovering above the house in the moonlight. The trees around the house are withered and bare. The house is modernised, it is really terrific to look at. As in the poem, this house may have been occupied by the ghosts.

It is widely believed that people do their best work when they are promised rewards for their achievements. Our schools and workplaces operate on the assumption that good work occurs when people are competing for grades, money, or recognition from others. In truth, the prospect of rewards provided by others can inhibit and limit people’s drive and creativity. People do their best work when motivated from within by their enjoyment of a particular challenge and their satisfaction in doing something well.
What do you think motivates people to do their best? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observation.
