en-01 Morning at the vegetable market
The vegetable market opens before the city is fully awake. By six o'clock the first carts are already in place, and the sellers are arranging their goods in neat heaps: tomatoes on one side, onions in a wide basket, and bunches of coriander kept fresh under a damp cloth. Buyers arrive slowly at first. An old man walks from cart to cart, pressing each brinjal gently before he chooses one. A young woman with a cloth bag asks for half a kilo of beans and then, after a short discussion, agrees on a price that pleases both sides. Nobody is in a hurry yet. The sellers call out to regular customers by name and ask about their families. By nine o'clock the crowd has doubled, the voices are louder, and the best spinach is gone. Those who came early walk home with the freshest greens and the quiet satisfaction of a task done well.
en-02 Writing a clear leave application
A leave application does not need to be long, but it does need to be clear. Begin with the date and the name of the person who will approve the request. In the first sentence, state what you are asking for: the number of days, the dates, and the type of leave. Then give a short reason. You do not have to share private details, but the reason should be honest and specific enough to be understood. If your work will be affected, explain how it will be handled while you are away. Mention the colleague who has agreed to look after urgent matters, and say where pending files can be found. Close politely and include a way to reach you if something important comes up. Before you send it, read the application once more and check the dates twice, because a wrong date can cause confusion for everyone involved.
en-03 The last bus home
Rohan reached the bus stop just as the rain began. The shelter was small, and three people were already standing under it, so he pressed himself against the edge and pulled his bag closer. The road was shining under the street lights. Every few minutes a car passed and threw a thin spray of water towards the pavement. He checked the time again. The last bus was due in ten minutes, but on wet nights it was often late. Beside him, an elderly woman was holding a box tied with string. She told him it was a cake for her granddaughter, who had passed an important exam that morning. They talked about exams, about the rain, and about how the city looked different at night. When the bus finally appeared, its headlights blurred by the drizzle, Rohan let her climb in first and carried the box up the steps for her. The conductor smiled at them both. As the bus pulled away, Rohan realised he was no longer in a hurry. The journey home felt shorter than usual, and the cake arrived without a single crack.
en-04 Keeping a tidy desk
A tidy desk saves time in small ways that add up over a week. Keep only the things you use every day within easy reach: a pen, a notebook, and the papers for the task in front of you. Everything else can go into a drawer or a labelled tray. At the end of each day, spend two minutes clearing the surface. File what is finished, write a short note about what remains, and put the note on top of tomorrow's work. Wipe the keyboard and the screen once a week with a soft, dry cloth. A clean desk will not do your work for you, but it removes one small source of distraction, and on busy days that can make a real difference.
en-05 A letter to a younger cousin
Dear Meera, I was happy to hear that your exams begin next month. I remember how that time felt: the long evenings, the stacks of notes, and the feeling that there was never enough time. I want to share a few things that helped me, in case they help you too. First, make a simple plan for each week, not for each hour. Plans that are too detailed break easily, and then they make you feel worse. Second, practise with old question papers under a timer. It is one thing to know an answer and another thing to write it neatly in limited time. Third, sleep properly. I used to think that staying awake late showed how serious I was, but my marks did not agree. Finally, take short walks. Ten minutes outside can clear your head better than another cup of tea. Do not compare your preparation with anyone else's. Everyone studies differently, and the only race that matters is the one with yourself. I am sure you will do well. Write to me after the last paper, and we will celebrate with a long, lazy lunch. With love and best wishes, your cousin Anil.
en-06 Monsoon evening
The first heavy shower of the season arrived late in the afternoon. For an hour the sky had been the colour of wet slate, and the air was so still that even the neem tree in the courtyard seemed to be waiting. Then the wind came, and with it the smell of rain on dry earth. Within minutes the street below had turned into a shallow stream. Children ran out with paper boats, shouting as each boat spun and tipped over. A vendor covered his cart with a plastic sheet and sat under a shop awning, sipping tea. From the balcony it all looked like a scene from a slow film. When the rain eased, the whole neighbourhood seemed washed and new, and the evening light turned every puddle into a small, bright mirror.
en-07 Learning to cook dal
My grandmother never measured anything. When I first asked her to teach me how to cook dal, she laughed and said that the measurements lived in her hands. So I watched. She washed the lentils three times, rubbing them gently between her palms until the water ran clear. She added water, a pinch of turmeric and a little salt, and set the pot on a low flame. While it cooked, she prepared the tempering in a small pan: a spoon of ghee, a few cumin seeds, a dried red chilli and some finely chopped garlic. She listened more than she looked. When the cumin began to crackle, she knew the ghee was ready. When the garlic turned golden, she poured everything into the dal, and the kitchen filled with a sound like applause. I tried to copy her many times. My first attempts were either too thick or too watery, and once I burnt the garlic completely. Slowly, I learnt to notice the same signs she noticed. Today I still do not measure very much. When friends ask for the recipe, I tell them what she told me: start with care, pay attention, and let your hands remember.
en-08 Office circular: fire drill (fictional)
Circular No. 14/2026. All staff are informed that a fire safety drill will be held on Friday at 11:30 a.m. The alarm will sound for about one minute. On hearing it, please stop work, switch off your computer screen, and leave the building by the nearest staircase. Do not use the lifts. Floor wardens will guide each team to the assembly point near Gate 2, where attendance will be taken. Visitors present at the time should be escorted by the officer they came to meet. The drill is expected to take 20 minutes. Staff who need assistance on the stairs are requested to inform the Administration Section by Wednesday so that suitable arrangements can be made. Your cooperation is appreciated. Section Officer (Administration).
en-09 Why small savings add up
Saving money often sounds like a big decision, but in daily life it is mostly a series of small ones. A cup of tea at the station, an extra snack on the way home, a delivery charge that could have been avoided: none of these feels important on its own. Together, over a month, they can become a noticeable amount. The point is not to give up every small pleasure. A life without any treats is hard to sustain, and plans that feel like punishment rarely last. The point is to notice. Some people keep a small notebook and write down every expense for one month, without trying to change anything. At the end of the month they look at the list and decide which spends were worth it and which were simply habits. Others set aside a fixed sum at the start of each month, before they spend anything else, so that saving happens first. Either way, the important step is the first one: paying attention to where the money goes.
en-10 The neighbourhood library
The library on our street is a single room above a stationery shop. It has wooden shelves that reach the ceiling, a long table with eight chairs, and a ceiling fan that turns slowly no matter how hot the day is. The librarian knows almost every member by name. She keeps a register in her neat handwriting and still stamps the return date on a slip inside each book. In the afternoons, students come to study in silence, their bags lined up against the wall. In the evenings, retired neighbours drop in to read the newspapers and discuss the headlines in low voices. There is a small corner for children with picture books and a mat on the floor. Nothing about the place is modern, yet it is rarely empty. Perhaps that is because it offers something that is hard to find elsewhere: a quiet room where everyone is welcome to sit for as long as they like.
en-11 Mending a bicycle puncture
A flat tyre can spoil a morning ride, but mending a simple puncture is a skill anyone can learn. Start by turning the bicycle upside down so that it rests on the seat and handlebars. Release the brake if it holds the wheel too tightly, and remove the wheel. Use tyre levers to lift one side of the tyre away from the rim, then pull out the inner tube. To find the hole, pump a little air into the tube and listen for a hiss, or pass the tube slowly through a bowl of water and watch for bubbles. Mark the spot. Roughen the area lightly with sandpaper, spread a thin layer of glue, and wait until it is nearly dry before pressing the patch firmly in place. While the glue sets, run your fingers carefully along the inside of the tyre to find whatever caused the puncture, such as a small thorn or a sliver of glass. Remove it, or the new patch will not last long. Refit the tube, ease the tyre back onto the rim, inflate it to the pressure marked on the tyre, and check that the wheel spins straight.
en-12 A train journey at dawn
The train left the city a little before five in the morning, when the platforms were still lit by tired yellow lamps. In our compartment, most passengers went back to sleep almost immediately, curled up with shawls and bags for pillows. I sat by the window and watched the city slide away. First came the long walls and sheds of the railway yard, then rows of quiet houses, then the open fields. The sky changed slowly from black to deep blue, and then to a pale grey with a thin line of orange at its edge. A tea seller came through the coach, calling softly so that he would not wake anyone who did not want to be woken. I bought a cup and held it with both hands. Outside, a farmer was already walking along the edge of his field, and a group of children waited at a level crossing with their school bags on their backs. At a small station the train stopped for two minutes. A woman sold bananas from a basket balanced on her head, and a dog trotted along the platform as if it had an appointment to keep. When the sun finally rose, it lit up the dust on the window and turned the whole carriage gold. Someone across the aisle woke up, stretched, and asked where we were. I realised I did not know, and that I did not mind at all.

en-14 Growing herbs in pots
You do not need a garden to grow a few plants of your own. A sunny window ledge or a small balcony is enough to begin. Choose containers with drainage holes at the bottom, so that extra water can escape. Fill them with a light, crumbly potting mix rather than heavy soil dug from the ground. Herbs such as mint and coriander are a friendly place to start, and they are useful in the kitchen. Water when the top layer of soil feels dry to your fingertip, and water slowly so that the moisture reaches the roots instead of running straight out of the pot. Turn the pots every few days so that the plants do not lean too far towards the light. Watch the leaves closely, because they are often the first place where a problem shows. Mistakes are part of the process. Every gardener has lost a plant or two, and each loss teaches something about light, water and patience.
en-15 Cricket in the lane
Every Sunday afternoon the lane behind our building turns into a cricket ground. The wickets are three bricks stacked against the wall, the boundary is the blue gate at one end, and a shot that lands on the first-floor balcony is out, because nobody wants to climb up and ask for the ball. The teams change every week. Sometimes the older boys play against the younger ones, and sometimes everyone is mixed together so that the game stays fair. The rules are argued about, loudly, before almost every over. Can a batter be out on the first ball? Does a ball that hits the parked scooter count as a run? The answers depend on who is batting. Yet somehow the game always continues. The aunties on the ground floor complain about the noise and then lean out of their windows to watch the close finishes. When the light fades and the ball becomes hard to see, the match ends without any official result. Everyone goes home certain that their own team was winning.
en-16 Minutes of a residents' meeting (fictional)
Minutes of the monthly meeting of the Sunrise Apartments Residents' Association, held on Sunday in the community hall at 6:00 p.m. Present: 23 members. The Secretary welcomed everyone and read the minutes of the previous meeting, which were approved. Item 1: The Treasurer presented the accounts for the month. Collections stood at Rs. 46,500 and expenses at Rs. 38,200, leaving a balance of Rs. 8,300. Item 2: Members discussed the repair of the main water pump. Three quotations had been received, and it was agreed that the lowest suitable quotation would be accepted after a site visit. Item 3: The proposal to plant trees along the boundary wall was approved, and five volunteers offered to help. Item 4: Members were reminded to keep the stairways free of shoes and boxes. The meeting ended with a vote of thanks to the chair at 7:15 p.m.
en-17 Reading a long report quickly
When a long report lands on your desk, the temptation is to start at page one and read every line. That is rarely the best use of time. Begin with the summary, if there is one, and with the list of contents. Together they tell you what the report claims and how it is organised. Next, read the conclusions and recommendations. Ask yourself what decision the report wants from its readers. Only then turn to the middle sections, and read them with that question in mind. Look closely at the tables, because numbers often reveal more than the paragraphs around them. Make brief notes in the margin or on a separate sheet: one line for each main point, and a question mark wherever something is unclear. Finally, write a short paragraph in your own words describing what the report says and what it asks for. If you can do that clearly, you have understood it well enough to discuss it.
en-18 A power cut on exam night
The lights went out at nine o'clock, right in the middle of the chapter on trigonometry. For a moment the whole house was silent, and then the familiar sounds began: a neighbour calling out to ask whether everyone else had lost power too, a door opening on the floor above, a baby starting to cry somewhere down the street. Kavya sat still in the dark, her pen still in her hand. The exam was at ten the next morning. Her mother came in with a candle and set it on the table, and then went back for an emergency lamp that had been charging since the afternoon. The light it gave was white and steady. Kavya decided not to waste it on new topics. Instead, she took out the short notes she had made over the past month and went through the formulas one by one, saying each aloud. When the power returned an hour later, the fan started with a creak and the fridge began to hum. She looked at her notes, then at the clock, and switched off the main light. She had revised enough. She went to bed early, and for the first time that week, she slept well.
en-19 The tailor on the corner
The tailor on the corner has worked at the same machine for as long as anyone can remember. His shop is narrow, just wide enough for a counter, a mirror and a shelf of folded cloth. He wears a measuring tape around his neck like a scarf and a pencil behind one ear. He rarely writes anything down. Customers stand on a small wooden platform while he measures, calling out numbers to himself under his breath. He asks questions that seem unrelated to clothing: what kind of work they do, whether they cycle, which side they carry their bag. Later, they realise that every answer changed something about the fit. When a garment is ready, he insists that the customer try it on in the shop. If a sleeve is even slightly wrong, he takes it back without a word of complaint. His prices are fair, his deadlines are honest, and nobody leaves his shop without being told to come back if anything feels tight.
en-20 Planning a family trip on a budget
A family trip does not have to be expensive to be memorable. The planning, however, needs to start early. Begin by agreeing on a total amount that the family is comfortable spending, including travel, stay, food and a small reserve for surprises. Write it down. Next, list a few possible places and compare them honestly: how long will it take to get there, and what will each person actually enjoy doing? A destination that is closer often leaves more money and energy for the trip itself. Book travel as soon as the dates are fixed, and keep copies of every ticket and booking on your phone and on paper. When choosing a place to stay, read the description carefully and check what is included. Plan only one or two main activities for each day and leave the rest of the time free. Some of the best moments on any trip happen during unplanned walks and long meals. Carry water, simple snacks and any medicines your family already uses. Finally, keep a small notebook to record what you spend. It helps you stay within your limit, and it becomes a funny souvenir later when you read it again.
en-21 Giving a short speech
Being asked to say a few words at a function can make even confident people nervous. The good news is that a short speech is easier to prepare than it looks. Start by deciding on one main message. If listeners remember only one sentence, what should it be? Build everything else around that sentence. Open with something simple and personal, such as a brief memory connected to the occasion. Keep your points few and clear, and give each a small example. Avoid reading from a full script; instead, write a few key words on a card and look up at your audience as often as you can. Practise aloud, standing up, at least twice. Time yourself, and cut anything that does not support your main message. On the day, speak a little more slowly than feels natural, pause after important lines, and end on time. People rarely complain that a speech was too short.
en-22 The old radio
In my grandfather's room there was a wooden radio with a cloth front and two round knobs. It took almost a minute to warm up, and while it did, it made a soft humming sound, as if it were clearing its throat. He would sit beside it every evening with his eyes half closed, turning the dial slowly through hiss and whistle until a voice became clear. He listened to news, to old songs, and sometimes to a play that continued night after night. As children, we were allowed to stay if we promised to be quiet. We rarely understood everything, but we loved the ritual: the warm glow of the dial, the careful turning, and the way the whole room seemed to lean towards that small box of sound.
en-23 Telephone manners at work
How you answer the phone at work tells callers a great deal about your office. Pick up within a few rings if you can, and begin by greeting the caller and saying your name and section. Speak clearly and not too fast. If the caller needs someone else, ask for their name and the reason for the call before transferring it, so that your colleague is not taken by surprise. If you cannot help immediately, say so honestly and promise a call back by a definite time, then keep that promise. Take notes during the conversation, especially of names, numbers and dates, and read important details back to the caller to confirm them. Avoid eating or typing loudly while you talk. Before ending, summarise what will happen next. A polite and efficient call leaves the caller feeling that their time was respected.
en-24 Festival lights and quiet streets
For a week before the festival, our street changes a little every evening. First, one house hangs a string of small lights along its balcony. The next night, the house opposite adds lights of its own, as if answering. Soon every window is outlined in tiny points of colour, and the street looks like a page from a picture book. Shops stay open late, and the smell of fried snacks drifts out of kitchens. Children compare their decorations with great seriousness and walk up and down to judge which house looks best. On the festival night itself, there is noise, laughter and a steady stream of visitors carrying boxes of sweets. Yet my favourite moment comes the morning after. The street is quiet again, a little untidy, with the lights still glowing faintly in the early sun. Neighbours sweep their doorsteps, nod to one another, and share the last of the sweets over the gate.
en-25 Punctuation practice
Punctuation is easy to ignore while typing fast, but in many typing tests a missing comma or full stop still counts against you. This paragraph is written to give your fingers some practice with it. Do you use the Shift key for capital letters, or do you rely on Caps Lock? Try to use Shift; it is quicker once you are used to it. Notice the semicolon in the last sentence, and the question mark before it. Here is a short list: pens, paper, a ruler, and an eraser. Here is a reminder in quotation marks: "Accuracy first, and speed will follow." Some words need apostrophes, such as don't, can't, it's and they're. Others need hyphens, such as well-known and part-time. Brackets (like these) appear in reports and notices more often than you might expect. Finally, after a full stop or a comma, type only one space. A second space may look harmless, but some tests treat it as an error.
en-26 At the booking counter
The queue at the booking counter moved one step at a time. It was raining outside, and everyone who came in shook water from umbrellas and jackets, so the floor near the door was slippery and grey. At the front, a clerk with reading glasses worked steadily, never raising her voice. A student wanted to change the date on his ticket. A family of five needed seats together and argued politely among themselves about which train was best. An old man had forgotten his own glasses and asked the clerk to read the form for him, which she did without a hint of impatience. When my turn came, I realised I had filled in the wrong train number. I apologised and began to correct it, expecting a sigh. Instead, she pointed to the right column, waited while I wrote, and checked the form once more before printing the ticket. It took less than a minute. Walking back into the rain, I thought about how much difference one calm person can make to a crowded, damp and impatient room.
en-27 Report on a school sports day (fictional)
The annual sports day of our school was held on the main ground on a bright Saturday morning. The programme began at eight o'clock with a march past by all four houses, each carrying its own flag. The chief guest, a former student of the school, lit the ceremonial lamp and declared the events open. The track events came first. The junior sprint was so close that the judges had to confer before announcing the result, and the crowd cheered both runners as they shook hands. In the senior relay, a dropped baton in the second leg changed the order completely, and the team that had been trailing finished first. The field events took place at the same time on the other side of the ground. Long jump and shot put drew small, serious crowds of supporters. After a short break, the younger classes took part in a sack race and a lemon and spoon race, which were greeted with much laughter. Parents were invited to join a tug of war, and several teachers joined in as well. At the closing ceremony, prizes were given to individual winners, and the overall trophy went to the house that had scored most consistently across all events. The Principal thanked the volunteers, the ground staff and the parents, and the day ended with the school song.
en-28 First day at a new job
Arjun arrived twenty minutes early on his first day, which turned out to be a mistake, because the office was still locked. He waited outside with the security guard, who told him which canteen dish to avoid and which senior officer liked to be greeted in the morning. By the time the doors opened, Arjun felt he knew the building a little. His manager showed him to a desk by the window and introduced him to the team. There were too many names to remember, so he wrote them down in a small notebook, together with something about each person: the colleague who handled payments, the one who knew the filing system, the one who brought tea at four. The morning was full of forms. He signed for an identity card, a set of keys and a computer password that he was told to change immediately. After lunch, a colleague walked him through the work he would be doing. Arjun asked many questions and wrote down every answer. He noticed that the experienced staff typed quickly without looking at the keyboard, and he decided to practise every evening until he could do the same. At six o'clock, his manager asked how the day had gone. Arjun said it had been a lot to take in, but that he was looking forward to tomorrow. On the way home, he read through his notebook twice, matching faces to names, and felt that the strangest day was already behind him.

en-30 Why people still keep diaries
In an age of phones and instant messages, keeping a handwritten diary can seem old-fashioned. Yet many people still do it, and those who keep the habit often find it hard to stop. Part of the appeal is the slowness. Writing by hand takes longer than typing, and that extra time gives thoughts a chance to settle. A day that felt confusing while it was happening often looks clearer when you describe it in a few sentences at night. A diary is also a private space. Unlike a social media post, it has no audience to impress and no likes to count. You can write honestly about worries, small victories and plans that may never happen. Over months and years, the pages turn into a record that memory alone cannot provide. Reading an old entry can be surprising. You may discover that a problem which once seemed enormous was solved within a week, or that a friendship began on an ordinary Tuesday that you had completely forgotten. There is no correct way to keep a diary. Some people write a full page every night, while others note three lines: one thing that happened, one thing they felt, and one thing they are grateful for. Some add tickets, pressed flowers or small drawings. What matters is regularity rather than length. If you want to start, choose a notebook you like, keep it somewhere visible, and write for five minutes before bed. Do not worry about spelling or style. Nobody else needs to read it. The only reader you are writing for is the person you will be a few years from now, who will be glad to know what today was really like.
en-31 Packing a parcel
Sending a parcel is simple if you prepare it properly before you leave home. Choose a sturdy box that is only slightly larger than the items inside, and fill any gaps with crumpled paper so that nothing moves when the box is shaken. Wrap fragile items separately. Seal every edge with strong tape, including the bottom. Write the address clearly in capital letters, with the full name, house number, street, area, city and postal code, and add a phone number if the service asks for one. Put your own address on the box as well, so that it can come back to you if delivery fails. At the counter, ask about the different delivery options and their likely delivery times before you decide. Keep the receipt safely until the parcel has arrived, because you will need its number if you want to trace it.
en-32 Small habits for saving water at home
Saving water at home rarely needs new equipment. It begins with small habits that soon become automatic. Turn off the tap while you brush your teeth or scrub a vessel, and turn it on again only to rinse. Fix dripping taps as soon as you notice them; a slow drip is easy to ignore, but it continues all day and all night. Collect the water used for rinsing vegetables and pour it on potted plants. Run washing machines with full loads rather than half loads. When you bathe with a bucket, fill it only as much as you need. Check the overhead tank now and then, so that it does not overflow unnoticed. None of these steps is difficult, and none takes much time. Together, practised by everyone in the family, they show that care for a shared resource can start in one ordinary household.
