According to the author, tea without sugar gives the real taste. Sugar destroys the taste of tea. It is as good as adding pepper and salt. If we add sugar, we taste only the sugar, and not the tea.

The first impressions from reading George Orwell's essay "A Nice Cup of Tea" include Orwell explaining the correct ways of handling the essence of drinking tea, The speaker guides the reader through instructions on how to prepare and drink tea and then talks about many of the faults people currently are doing when drinking their tea. The title of the essay directly refers to the essay's content as well as the idiom which means that something suits someone nicely such as how elegant Orwell describes tea in general. The central meaning within this essay relates to methods of preparing the perfect cup of tea. It is mostly about the author's personal opinion connected with the factual points. Out of eleven points some are accepted factual points and some are his personal opinion. Selection of tea is his opinions. Second point about the teapot seems to be his opinion. Whether to pour tea first or milk first is also his opinion.

Taken from the early play by William Shakespeare, the title of this story 'Two Gentlemen of Verona' is gripping. The story is about how two sincere and selfless young boys face hardships for the treatment of their sister suffering from tuberculosis. It conveys the message that as long as people are willing to make sacrifices for the well-being of others, there is hope for humanity. A. J. Cronin wrote this memoir after visiting Verona. The short story's title has been inspired by a popular Shakespeare's play. Nevertheless, the main idea of the author is to underline the virtues that make a man a real man. The story captures the sentiment that true humanity is not about letting go, and it is about courage and determination. The two young gentlemen of Verona face their difficulties head on without a single complaint. Though the heroes of this short story are two boys of the age 13 and 12 their behavior suits that of the grown up men. Their composed life tells the readers they have all -,the qualities of gentlemen. So the title 'Two Gentlemen of Verona' is very apt for this short story.

Leo Tolstoy in his short story "God Sees the Truth But Waits" describes a good merchant who was punished wrongly for a murder due to circumstantial evidence. Even his wife wondered if he might have been involved, since the circumstantial evidence was so striking. When his wife suspected him he hid his face in his hand and wept. He said to himself that only God alone seemed to know the truth. It was only to Him alone he could appeal. Only from God could he expect mercy. Then he stopped writing any appeal for mercy to the government. He only prayed to God. In this story only God knows the true criminal but He 'allows the innocent Aksionov to suffer in prison. Aksionov also accepts the imprisonment. He spent nearly twenty six years in prison. God waits to reveal the truth. Now Makar the real culprit came to the same prison but refused to accept his hand in the murder. At the end he was made to surrender. Thus God knows the truth but waits to reveal it.

Leo Tolstoy in his short story 'God Sees the Truth But Waits' describes the story of Aksionov, who was wrongly punished for a murder. Although Aksionov strongly said that he was not guilty, he was arrested and charged with the murder. After being severely flogged, he was sent to work in the mines in Siberia. In prison, he became a boot-maker, thus earning enough money to buy a book called 'The Lives of the Saints'. He read this book whenever possible. On Sundays he took a prominent role in the religious services, and he sang in the choir of the prison church. The wardens and guards appreciated his humility, and the other prisoners regarded him with respect, calling him "Grandfather" and "The Saint." Once a new set of prisoners came and then Aksionov realised one of the prisoners, Makar, who was the real murderer. But later he decided to accept the punishment. Then he had a chance to stand against Makar but he did not do so. He did not want to see Makar harshly punished and even began to wonder if he had wrongly suspected Makar of murdering the merchant.

Love is greater than money
There was a rich businessman Mr. X. He had a big company and spent most his time for its development. He thought that his only purpose of living was to earn money for himself and for his family. He had a 10 year-old son. One day his son came to him and asked him a 'surprising question. He asked him how much he earned in one hour. The businessman was very angry to hear such a question from a 10 year old boy. The boy asked again and again so he said that he earned Rs.500 per hour.
The boy asked him to give him Rs.300. The father thought that the boy was asking the money to buy some useless things like toys. He did not want his son to waste money like that. So he shouted at him. The boy was very sorry to get the shouting from his father and went to his room crying.
After some time the father felt sorry for having shouted at his son. He entered the boy's room and gave him money thinking that it would make him happy. The boy after receiving the money took some more crumpled notes which he had kept under his pillow. He counted the money and found that he had Rs.500. He went to his father and gave him the money. His father was wondering what the boy was up to.
The boy told him that he wanted to buy his one hour so that he could spend the time with him. The father was puzzled. He realised his mistake of not giving time to his family. He felt sorry. He hugged his son, closed his office files and took him on a picnic. He decided to spend more time with his near and dear ones.

The poem 'All the World's a Stage' is taken from William Shakespeare's play 'As You Like It'. He says that the world is a stage and all men and women are players on the stage and they play seven roles during their lives. The first stage is that of an infant. He is a helpless child in his mother's arms. He merely vomits in the nurse's arms. In the second role, he is a child who goes to school unwillingly. The third stage brings before us the lover who sings sad ballads for his lady love. In the youthful age when man is full of energy, he may do everything to please his beloved. Soldier is the fourth stage. Here man seeks fame though it is temporary and short lived. Fifth role is of a middle aged man. He has a round belly. He cites modern instances. In the sixth stage, man becomes very weak and lean. His tight hose has become too big for him because he has become very lean. In the last stage, the condition of man becomes very miserable. He has lost all - teeth, eyes, taste. He becomes almost like a child and he forgets everything. Shakespeare wants us to realise that life we spend in this world is not much to us. So we have to lead a meaningful life.
