Text: To be a good citizen, you have to prepare

yourself to do good work in society. Well , then
how can you prepare yourself? First, you need
knowledge. Todays society is knowledgebased.Without
knowing
modern
sciences,
technologies including ICT and other necessary
subjects, you will have difficulty living a good life.
The other areas you, as a good citizen, should
have
knowledge
about
are:
1. our country, its constitution, geography and
people
2.our state, its executive and legislative powers
3.our judicial system
4.our government and its structures and functions
5.our history, cultures, traditions, literature, moral
values and religions

Second, you need skills to do things. Knowledge is

not enough. You must be able to apply your
knowledge to do things practically.Finally, knowing
and doing things will bring about a change in your
behaviour towards others. This behavioural change
will show your attitudes towards others, that is, it will
show how you think and feel about a person or thing.
Lets take an example. Suppose you, as a student,
need to know about group workin the classroom. So
you ask yourself or your teacher or anybody, What
is group work? Or you may find about it in a book. In
this way, you can know, or you may have the
knowledge, about group work: To do group work, the
class has to be divided into groups. Each group is to
do some tasks given by the teacher or in the
textbook.

The group members will discuss and share ideas and

points, and finally one member will write the answer.
All this is knowledge about group work.Then you start
working in groups. In each group you take turns
discussing points,answering questions, etc. In this way
you actually do the task. Your teacher may monitor and
help you to do the work.
Lastly, through regular group work it is expected that
there
will
be
noticeable
changes
in
your
behaviour.Possible
changes
are:
You will develop the attitude of freely mixing and
talking with your classmates and teacher . Your shyness
will gradually disappear. You will develop the attitude of
helping and cooperating with each other. You will learn
to behave in a democratic way . Most importantly,
these behavioural changes taking place in you inside
the classroom will be carried over outside the
classroom, in real-life situations.
