Man has two ears and one mouth. It means listen much and talk less. All pupils should maintain silence and talk only when it is necessary. We must listen carefully while the teacher is teaching. Some pupils unnecessarily talk and disturb others. It’s a bad habit.
We should learn this lesson at an early age before schooling. Parents are our first teachers, so they should cultivate this habit among their kids. Then it is very easy for them after they start going to school. Wise people talk less and listen much.
Many use loudspeakers when ever there is a celebration. This disturbs students in the neighbourhood who are studying for important examinations. This is called noise pollution. It’s a violation of the code of ethics. I do hope that future generations would listen much and talk less to become intelligent people.
