Cleanliness means that there is no dirt, no dust, no stains, and no bad smells. The goals of cleanliness are health, beauty, absence of offensive odor, and avoiding the spreading of dirt and contaminants to oneself and others. Cleanliness gives rise to a good character by keeping the body, mind, and soul clean and peaceful.

UNIT 2 | Understanding Physical Well Being
"What is wellbeing? Wellbeing is personal and subjective, but it also universally relevant. Wellbeing encompasses the environmental factors that affect us, and the experiences we have throughout our lives. These can fall into traditional policy areas of economy, health, education, and so on. But wellbeing also crucially recognizes the aspects of our lives that we determine ourselves: through our own capabilities as individuals; how we feel about ourselves; the quality of the relationships that we have with other people; and our sense of purpose."

UNIT 3 | Patience
"Patience is the ability to wait calmly for or through something. If it is a virtue, it seems likely that there must be some element of suffering in the waiting, even if the suffering is only boredom and not necessarily physical pain. Some commentators have suggested that patience is not a single virtue, but a combination of others, including: Self-control, to be able to control our own reactions to the situation, and endure it without complaint; Humility, to accept that you are no more important than anyone else, and there is no particular reason why you should not wait; and Generosity, to smile at the world even when it seems to be conspiring against you."

UNIT 5 | Knowing Children From Other Nations
"Child development is a dynamic, interactive process. Every child is unique in interacting with the world around them, and what they invoke and receive from others and the environment also shape how they think and behave. Children growing up in different cultures receive specific inputs from their environment. For that the reason is there’s a vast array of cultural differences in children’s beliefs and behavior."

UNIT 6 | Learning Through Personal Interests, Abilities And Hobbies
"I’ve always maintained that the only way to learn something properly is to get out there and do it. No one learned surfing by, pardon the pun, surfing the web. Sportspeople don’t learn new skills and advantages by reading instructions from a book; they train and make mistakes. Hobbies are a fantastic way of learning, simply because people get out there and actually practice their chosen discipline and experience trial and error, whether it is flower arrangers, woodworkers, or people who tinker with old tape players."

English – VI
About Lesson
 
In this lesson, you can learn how to describe your hometown in English. Talking about your hometown is useful for your conversational English, and could also help you in your writing exams.
Where do you live? Do you live in a small town, a big city, or a remote village? What’s it like?

 

Talking about the Landmarks in your Hometown

Every town and city has at least one landmark.

 

Do not say that your hometown doesn’t have any landmarks. There must be at least one. So you can talk about that.

These are the kind of landmarks you can find in English towns:

  • Churches
  • A library
  • A town hall
  • A well-known pub (every English town has many pubs)
  • A town square
  • A park
 
Examples

There’s a shopping centre in the middle of my hometown. It’s kind of boring but me and my friends go there because it’s the only place for us to go on a Saturday evening.

One time we went there, and they had a little show in the middle of the centre. Some local singers who sing in a choir were doing a performance. I think they were trying to raise money for a local charity.

 

Other landmarks could be:

  • A mosque
  • A temple
  • A shopping mall
  • A restaurant
  • A big tree
  • A school or university
  • A hill

 

Writing Activity

Spend some time thinking about the landmarks in your hometown. Write some sentences about each one, describing the landmarks in detail. If you have any interesting stories to tell about the landmarks, then write them down too.
