What would you do if you become invisible? Would you use your invisibility to play tricks on people or for the good of people?
Write a short paragraph on ‘If I were invisible’
Answer:
A model answer has been provided for students’ reference.
It is strongly recommended that students prepare the answer on their own.
If I were invisible I would help people and the society. I would visit those places where the anti socials wander at large and deter them from committing any crime. I would thwart any untoward attempts of terrorists .I would visit the offices of authorities anytime to watch if they are carrying out their duties properly. If I were invisible I would visit hospitals anytime to watch if the doctors are treating the patients properly. I would visit the factories to check if anybody is practising child labour. I will use my invisibility to fight evils in the society and do good for the people.
