Patriotism

Patriotism is how we show our love and our readiness to serve our country. If we are patriotic, we must be loyal to our country and not our ethnic group. Patriots must speak well of their country at all times. If patriots are outside their country, they must not say or do anything that will harm the country, even if they are not happy with the Government. If patriots are called to serve their country in any way, either in time of peace or war, they should be ready to serve. If there had been no patriotism on a country, the country would have not existed. A patriotic person must place the country above the state or ethnic group.
    As citizens of a country, we should be loyal to our government. We should pay our taxes, defend our nation at all times, show respect for our leaders and all national symbols, be honest in all our dealings with fellow citizens and, above all, keep and defend the constitution or laws of the nation. Being a good citizen also means respect for national identity. That is, a patriotic citizen respects the symbols of a nation, those things by which a nation is known or identified. The main symbols of a nation are the national anthem, the national flag, the national pledge, the armed forces, the coat of arms, a single currency, common boundaries and cultural artefacts, as well as the language we speak and the way we dress, so that we can be easily identified.
    Respect for national identity gives us a sense of unity. So that we can defend our country, if we call our country a calabash other countries will use it as waste bin. So it's always advisable for one to loves his country.

Natural soil

 Natural soils are influenced by rainfall and temperature,heavy rain causes the soil to become leached. High temperatures increase the rate of decomposition of organic matter in the soil, thereby lowering its humus content. Thus, climatic conditions tend to produce poor soils in the tropics and rich soils in the temperate regions. Besides climate and vegetation, the parent rock material also contributes to the quality of the soil. For example volcanic rocks tend to produce fertile soils.    Laterite, a red soil which is a product of leaching, is commonly found in the tropics. It is composed mainly of iron and aluminium compounds,and poor in humus and essential plant nutrients, such as phosphorus, nitrogen and potassium. The black and brown soil of the temperate grasslands are the world's richest soils, with a high mineral and humus content. The light coloured desert soils tend to be very rich in minerals but have a low humus content.    Mainly the soils ar...

READING AND UNDERSTANDING

All reading is geared to understanding. There would be no point in reading if we did not understand what we are reading. However there are many different obstacles in the way of easy understanding of a passage. It is your task as a reader to actively seek to break down the barriers to understanding.    One block to understanding is caused by references in the passage to things that are outside it. Pronoun are the first examples of words that refer to people and objects. Sometimes, it is easy to follow the reference at other times, it is more difficult. Look at the opening sentence of the passage you've just read that begins this way  "She was waiting for us:small, dowdy, dirty..."  Who was waiting? Who was the person waiting for? (Perhaps you would also like to know why she was waiting.)Answers to these questions will surely help you to understand and thus follow the reference. The first thing to do is to ask questions like the ones we have just asked and to read t...
