Read the following passage and prepare notes on it (1 5 5) Success in life depends largely on good health. Keep your body fit by

cleanliness, fresh air, regular habits, and proper recreations; make yoursell

strong to play the game, and do it in every sense of the word. Avo1d anything

that wil sap your strength. Smoking in your youth stunts the body and

clouds the brain. Be temperate in all things and beware of drinks. It is the

deadly enemy of health and efficiency.

Above all, remember that your character is a priceless possession.

Therefore, keep it untarnished. Be truthful in all things; courteous and

considerate to everybody; fair to your rivals; and kind and helpful to all who

are weak and suffering. Don't be afraid to have the courage to stand for what

1s good, pure, and noble. Avoid gambling in any form; it is a mean game,

trying to get something for nothing at other people's expense.

Make provisions for hard times. In your leisure hours, avoid mere idling.

Fill such hours with interesting hobbies, good books, and companionships

and associations calculated to exercise over you an influence for good. To

large extent, you will be known by the company you keep.

XI. Use any five of the following phrasal verbs and idiomatic expressions XI. (5x 1

sentences of your own:

(a) abide by

(b) bring about

(c) break down

(d) call off

(e) give in

( (g) knock down

(h) stand by
