Please Check this expansion and correct me if necessary.

There are many people who always try to spend beyond their means. For one thing, they often desire to have fame, prestige, or comfort. On account of these inclination, they explore different ways to earn more and more money no matter the way of these earning is legal or otherwise.

Additionally, we are living in a society where so many extravagant Hindus' rites and rituals have been adopted by the Muslims. The huge spending on traditional marriages is the case in point. Moreover, well-to-do people can easily afford these kinds of expenditure, but what about those people who can barely afford their sustenance. Sadly, they(these poor) are still compelled to spend as much money on their daughter or near one’s marriages as others.

Similarly, despite the fact that we are undergoing the miserable circumstances, many politician of our country are enjoying a luxurious lifestyle. Pakistan, at the moment, is under a big threat of around $ 60 billion debt, but in spite of these debts they(our politicians) are not ready to give up their extravagant lifestyle; and the concerned authorities are also not ready to pay heed to these maladies. Not workable(unnecessary) dignitaries’ visits, massive spending on dinners, huge spending on election campaign are obvious. Unequivocally, we are not cutting our coat according to our cloths.

No wonder, one who does not care about the future often finds him in a gloomy state of affairs. He virtually remains at the mercy of others. This proverb has a true message which applies on almost every one. It is a naturally phenomenon that man always try to get more and more, but remains unsatisfied. So, it is wise to cut our coat according to our cloth.
I have amended or corrected some of you words and grammatical mistakes. however, your piece of writing is outstanding, very good expression and approach. keep it up.

Rome Was Not Built in a Day
There is consistent effort and great deal of hard work require behind every splendor of the world. Everything which looks mighty and magnificent is the fruit of immense drudgery of man. All those successful man who shaped the course of history did patient work for the achievement of that success.
The world which we know today was entirely different few million years ago. It was merely a piece of land which was converted into an industrialized civil society by restless effort of man. The barren land is transformed into fertile agrarian plains; the deserts are altered into great cities just because of restless endeavor of man. Glorious face of world is outcome of sweat and blood of millions of people either they are intellectuals or laborers.
There is great labor behind the spell binding beauty of Rome. At the back of magnificent buildings there is no miracle else than constant hard work which convert the plan of land into a splendid living city.

Good efforts. Some lines are highlighted. Please, make them correct.
These are only 163 words. Expand it little more, try to reach 250-300 words.
You have written it well. Give an example and two quotations. Try to focus on this thing that every achievement needs great struggle. Then, arrange all things in an accurate way.

Where there is a will, there is way

This is the proverb of hope. Whensoever we face great troubles and problems, mostly we can not come out with good results, because at that time we use to give up all our efforts and we find out that it is impossible to face those troubles. But this is not a good way to react in this manner, because nothing is impossible in this world. Inspite of giving up hopes, we should out some solutions, because every problem in this world has atleast one solution and no problem is without solution. And it should also be kept in mind that God has given the power of thinking and reasoning to every one equally. So we should utilize that power of thinking and reasoning and certainely we will find its solution.

For instance there is a person, who wants to do CSS, but in the start, he is afraid of it and he is thinking that how can he qualify that examination, because there are 12 subjects and hence it is very difficult for him to pass. So in the begining he is becoming hopeless and hence it is totally impossible for him to pass such examination. Inpite of being hopeless, he should be determinant in his aim and he should also think there is way to pass such examination and that is only hardworking. So it means every problem in this world has atleast one solution.

So all the people whose names are shining in the history, did not loose their hopes and they remained determinant on their wills and they ultimately found thier solutions. They also kept it in their minds that ups and downs are the parts of life. Similarly we should react in positive manner that if we have will to do something, then should be determinant on our wills and then we will certainely find its solutions and way to success.
If we will loose our hopes, certainely there will be no any way for success. The more we will be determinant, the sooner we will find its solution.

This is the proverb of hope. (It is not a good start and will doesn't mean HOPE, it means strong desire and wish.) Whensoever we face great troubles and problems, mostly we can not come out with good results, because at that time we use to give up all our efforts and we find out that it is impossible to face those troubles. (Do not exaggerate. Try to precise your words. We USE TO give up is a wrong sentence, you can't use USE for present habitual. It must be WE GIVE UP. ) But this is not a good way to react in this manner, because nothing is impossible in this world. (Don't start any sentence with but and avoid redundancy of vocab as you are using BECAUSE again and again.) Inspite of giving up hopes, we should out some solutions, because every problem in this world has atleast one solution and no problem is without solution. (Again BECAUSE and try to use correct structure of sentence. The way you use your expressions, these appear dull. Try to use them in a precise way.)And it should also be kept in mind that God has given the power of thinking and reasoning to every one equally. So we should utilize that power of thinking and reasoning and certainely we will find its solution. (Dear, your paragraphs only speak about problems and solutions. You have been giving the irrelevant material and you have derailed the topic. You should not do this.)

For instance there is a person, who wants to do CSS, but in the start, he is afraid of it and he is thinking that how can he qualify that examination, because there are 12 subjects and hence it is very difficult for him to pass. So in the begining he is becoming hopeless and hence it is totally impossible for him to pass such examination. Inpite of being hopeless, he should be determinant in his aim and he should also think there is way to pass such examination and that is only hardworking. So it means every problem in this world has atleast one solution.
(The example of CSS is not relevent and mature, it doesn't wiegh heavy. Omit it out. Dear, the idea was not about hopelessness but strong power of determination. )

So all the people whose names are shining in the history, did not loose their hopes and they remained determinant on their wills and they ultimately found thier solutions. They also kept it in their minds that ups and downs are the parts of life. Similarly we should react in positive manner that if we have will to do something, then should be determinant on our wills and then we will certainely find its solutions and way to success.
If we will loose our hopes, certainely there will be no any way for success. (Incorrect structure.)The more we will be determinant, the sooner we will find its solution.
.

. You have presented more irrelevant ideas. You have spoken more about hope, problems, solution but forgotten the key point.
. Try to use simple sentences. Avoid using repetitions of vocab and ideas.
. Try to hit the topic in the very start.
. Don't derail the topic. First, understand the topic then start it precisely.
. You should bring coherence, unity and brevity.
. Overall, good efforts. Work hard!

Exclamation @seher bano


MANY PEOPLE TRY TO SPEND BEYOND THEIR MEANS FOR FAME, COMFORT OR TO SHOW OFF. GREED TO EARN MONEY IN ABUNDANCE MAKES THEM RESORT TO ILLEGAL MEANS.

A prime example that contradicts this proverb is our Pakistani weddings. Unfortunately even after 64 years of partition, we are still adhering to Hindu customs of extravagant spending on weddings. The affluent are can easily afford lavish spending on clothes, décor, food and dowry where as the poor are under so much pressure to spend more than their pocket allows them. They are compelled to take debts to marry their daughters or sisters and face lifelong exploitation at the hands of the lenders.

Similarly, despite Pakistan’s ramshackle economy and depleting foreign currency reserves, the politicians of our country are enjoying a luxurious lifestyle. Instead of cutting down on expenditure, we are borrowing money and debts are increasing each year.

This old adage gives a very important advice that one should consider his resources before undertaking a task. No wonder, one who does not care about the future finds himSELF in a gloomy state of affairs. It is INNATE that man always TRIES to get more than he has but the intelligent way to lead a life is to cut your coat according to your cloth.
