English Comprehension Worksheet – Class 7
Passage: The Value of Time
Time is one of the most precious resources in life. Unlike money, it cannot be saved for later or earned back once lost. Every moment that passes is gone forever. Therefore, it is important to use time wisely.
Many successful people understand the value of time and plan their day carefully. They set goals, prioritize tasks, and avoid wasting time on unimportant activities. On the other hand, those who do not manage their time often feel stressed and unprepared.
Time management not only helps in completing tasks efficiently but also leaves room for rest and recreation. Students who follow a timetable usually perform better in studies and still find time for hobbies and relaxation.
In conclusion, respecting time and using it wisely can lead to success and a balanced life.
