2 Nasreen was alone in a jungle/forest and all of sudden…..
3 She was alone in a jungle/forest in a dark/windy/stormy night and all of sudden…..
4 Ali saw a beautiful girl laid on the lonely road and ……..
5 Hussain saw a beautiful girl in a jungle and all of sudden…….

I hope my respected co-members will also make some positive thinking short stories which show the nobility, courage, respect etc. (stories will not exceed from 12 lines of normal A4 size paper)

You need to work on your essay writing skills.

For example you are supposed to make a causal chain of sentences and start with a strong opening sentence.

Alina was alone in home in a stormy night and all of sudden… "As she finish her prayer she once again speak loudly her speech".

Make better sentences than that. "She recited her speech aloud". But even if you made that correction it makes no sense. This the meat of your opening sentence:

She was alone at home, all of a sudden she recited her speech aloud. What is so sudden about that? It kills the strength of the opening sentence.

Home alone on a stormy night I'd go for something dangerous to be the "sudden" event.

Other mistakes are your past/present tenses of words for e.g. "come" should be "came", "start" should be "started" and "announce" should be "announced". Remember its not the big mistakes that make you lose marks in English its the little ones.

1. Make good sentences: Express one idea per sentence, idea should be good, break them down to subject/Object/verb (SOV Rule). E.g. Raja(S) baked(V) a cake(O).

2. The end of one sentence should chain up with the beginning of the next sentence. Meaning the idea expressed in the first sentence should cause the idea of the 2nd sentences.

3. The ending sentence of one paragraph (oh and use one line spacing between paragraphs), should chain up with the starting sentence of the next one.

Causal (note not casual) chains between sentences and paragraphs make the essay more interesting for the reader.

My ISSB Experiance

As salaamu 'alaikum.

Although I might be a bit late with this but here goes nothing.

2 or 3 years back, if anyone asked me what I wanted to be, I would answer without any hesitation that I wanted to be in the armed forces. And so to make my dream a reality. I went for the initial test at AS&RC RWP. I completed my written tests, no problem (par form bharnay ki bari khawaari thi). There I met 3 of my school fellows. Now you have to understand although my father wasn't that rich but he paid every price necessary to get me good education. So he sent me to the best school in town. And almost all my friends had some backing. So I won't name these friends but let's call them X, Y and Z. Now this X person I really didn't know in school but you know when people from your school show in these kinds of situations you have to stick together. Now this guy had some kind of railways running from his family's area which was really big. And the army used that area.

Well this guy was bragging all about how he doesn't need to do anything in this test and how his paternal uncle was very close with a lot of Brigadiers and Colonels. Obviously I was naive and didn't believe him. I believed in the sanctity of the army physical test and how every person had to do them as a stepping stone. So we all gathered in front of the Race Course Park. We were around 200 guys I think. We were taken out in groups for the physical tests. I and my friend were in the last group. The moment we stood in front of the Major, the Major called out X's id number and X moved forward of the group, a big grin on his face. The Major and he talked for a few seconds and then X stood behind the Major, while the Major made all the necessary announcements, X stood back grinning and giving us the thumbs up. So when we started doing our physical tests, X was nowhere to be seen.

Naturally, all of us remaining were frustrated at this injustice. But as the physical tests went like a breeze we forgot about all that. Now Mr. Y was the son of a retired Brigadier in the technical branch. I liked him. He was just like me and him on the other hand I had been friends with for a while. We even had our ISSB center Kohat together at the same time but our residence houses were different. He and I were very much alike in our passion for Pakistan Army and other kids’ stuff like watching cartoon (Japanese anime to be specific ). Now he and I were very very worried about the GTO task as we had no ******** idea what to do. And thus our worst fears were recognized after the initial tasks. Well we both had that one guy in our group that was hell bent on making our groups fail in every respective field. So as you can guess we didn't finish even one GTO task, except my single command task test. I was the only one to complete any kind of task. Mr. Y and me, both could manage to do only 6 of the individual obstacles.

The group discussion I ended up rounding up the debate and everyone was happy. In the case scenario the a**hole again did a blunderous job and we failed that too. Same was the case with Mr. Y too. He also had that kind of a vermin in his group. But his group didn't even finish a single task. 

Now the Deputy President’s interview and the psychologist's interview were on consecutive days. So my group had the Psychologist’s interview first and Mr. Y had the Deputy's first. After the first day of interviews he and I spent an hour at most discussing the answers that we gave and admiring each other's wit. We both thought that we should do the same kind of answers as they were good and applicable. I might have misled the psychologist when she asked "Kiya aap koi aisa kaam kartay hain jis sey aap bohat sharminda hain? “ Obviously she was talking about masturbation but I answered (like I had answered in my form) "Mam main namaz regularly nahi parhta.” She was all smiling and stuff through the whole interview and didn’t ask any explicit questions. Confidence was never a problem. So the Deputy's interview came the next day after much wait I was called in. The interview went very good by my standards. I knew all the general knowledge and science questions. What I was told I lacked in was the questions relating to Islam. I did lie to him that I had represented my school at college level for volleyball, in reality I was the best guy for volleyball but we didn’t have any tournaments in our A-level years. But he was very happy. He asked me "Agar Pak fauj main tumhain accept kar lein toh bhaag toh nai jao gey? “I answered "Never, sir". And the he shook my hand and said good luck. When I came out and told the others what the Deputy had asked they were all impressed because he hadn’t asked any of them this question.

The wait on the last day was the most hurtful moment in my entire life. There I was standing in my best suit in the blazing sun as the committee decided who to be called for on the last day for reinterview. I waited for 5 hours and then when a person was called and my roll number was skipped I felt like dying. My dream had been "skipped" by the committee. But then Mr. Y's roll number was announced. The first moment I felt very jealous. But then I understood. I never stood a chance. Not alone.

How could I compete with someone who had a military background like Mr. Y? Although their might not have been any "sifarish" but I have found out having a father in the forces is like you passing half of the ISSB. Today Mr. Y is "enjoying" life at the PMA in his first semester (I hope they rag the hell out of that A hole ) I am literally happy for my friend I don’t know where X is.
Now Mr. Z was my friend from the 5th class. His passion had been to become a mechanical engineer and work for Ferrari while mine was to work as a commissioned officer and work for my country. Now Mr. Z and I had been very close from the beginning. After I came back from ISSB he contacted me to help him out with his ISSB which was due next week. So I hauled myself to Skype and we discussed how best he could tackle the different obstacles and interviews. He too like me had no military background like me. But he had a trick up his sleeve. He had been going to a coaching academy, I don't know for how long but he had quite a practice because he wasn't interested in the GTO tasks only the different scenarios so he can work accordingly. He was mainly interested in the interviews. And surely as he predicted he got a recommendation letter and then he went for joining on 15th May. He is together with Mr. Y.

P.S The overall experience was memorable and worth going for.

Allah Hafiz.
