MY FAVOURITE TEACHER

By: Rahul

Over the academic course of my life, I had been taught by many teachers at various grades or classes in school. I have had many teachers till the completion of my education. But Mrs. Dr. ritu is was my favourite teacher among the teachers i have studied from. She is an M.Sc physics. She teaches taught me Science. (She used to teach me science.)

She has an admiring personality. She is an epitome (symbol, token, sign प्रतीक) of love, compassion, simplicity and sacrifice. She is amiable and jovial (friendly) by nature. She is sagacious (wise, intelligent) and gives valuable piece of advice to everyone.

I am inspired by her experience in teaching, method of teaching and technique of clarifying student's doubts, OR she is always ready to take the doubts of the students. Besides bookish knowledge, she teaches me the basic principles of life such as respecting our elders, early rising, thanks to god, perfoming our duties honestly etc. For her every student is equal. She never get partial with any body. She behaves very politely with all and never discriminate among students. She teaches the students like her own childrens. She teaches from heart not from book. She enlighten her educators with knowledge and life lessons. She always motivates the students to do hard work, as hard work is the key to success.

Moreover, she always has something to share with people because she reads many books, magazines and journals in the school library in her leisure time. (library when she gets leisure time/ spare time.) She has also written many books for students in easy, precise and understandable language.

All in all she is the only teacher in my life who I respect the most. I am very lucky (so blessed) to have such a nice mentor. May God gives her good health and happiness throughout her life.

Subject: Story where I took an initiative to help those in need during lockdown.

Sir

Through the columns of your esteemed daily I wish to share a story where I took initiative to help those in lockdown.

The govt of India had ordered a nation wide lockdown on 22 march till 31st may 2020. However, essential services were continued such as grocery, medicines etc. Many families became jobless and ideal at homes. Taking this into consideration, I (took an initiative to) decided to help the needy. 

It was the sixteenth day of the lockdown. I was passing through the market and saw the poor searching for food in the rubbish. (I saw the poor roaming door to door for some help for his family.) I felt how these people are passing through the difficult times of this covid. I discussed with my nearest neighbour about this and arrive at the decision to help those in need during this COVID lockdown. We together had made a plan and estimated our budget. We sorted the items and ordered it.  We make noticed to the needy about the offering of the same. We gave them flour, sugar, tea, rice, pulses, oil and so on as charity. We also gave them medicines, masks and sanitizers giving them information regarding pandemic and give preventive measures. They were very happy  and gave blessings to us. It was a great pleasure for me to see smile on their faces.  

I hope you will publish my story in your newspaper so that individuals help each other in this hard time.

Yours truly
vedant. 

Changing Mindsets Towards Animals.

Q. You were pained to read about incidents of cruelty against animals in the newspapers. One in particular, about feeding an elephant a pineapple with explosives concealed in it, is not only shocking but also reveals a sick mentality. 

Write an article on changing mindsets towards animals and suggest ways in which we can enforce zero tolerance for animal cruelty. You are Dhiranu / Drishti.

CHANGING MINDSETS TOWARDS ANIMALS
BY: DHIRANU

Man is the only animal in the world who uses other animals in order to fulfill his needs and wants. It is the matter of great pain that our mindset towards animals are changing continuously with each passing day. We have changed our thinking which is now only confined to selfishness.

The common mindset of people towards animals is that they consider animals as a harmful creature. But the fact is that animal does not harms other or attack unless it is provoked. Man is the only animal who uses other animals to fulfil his needs. Besides this, he has strated using, taming, teasing and chasing animals for his own benefits and entertainment.

Instead of feeding the animals with proper diet, people have started using them for their own entertainment. For instance, the recent news item that someone has fed an elephant a pineapple with explosive concealed in it, which has shocked many people. This also reaveals sick mentality of people towards animals.

The need of the hour is to change the mindset of people and to enforce zero tolerance for animal cruelty. Authorities should wake from their eternal sleep and take an immediate action against the culprits. Animals should be provided the necessities which they need such as diet, proper place to live in etc. Also they will perform or behave well if they will be kept in animal care units. It is the duty of the parents to instill moral values in their children. They should be taught not to harm any living creature on the earth as every living creature has its own role to be played in the environment. If we do not change our mindset towards animals, the whole earth would suffer one day.

My Opinions On COVID-19

Q. Write an article in 200 words about something, you have a strong opinion on COVID 19 (CORONAVIRUS) pandemic. What have you seen that has made you upset? proud? appreciative? scared ? You are Anu/Arun.

MY OPINION ON COVID 19
- BY: ARUN

Now a days we are coping With a covid 19 pandemic. But with the passage of time, government has controlled covid by means of lockdown, social distancing, masks and vaccines. OR 
Passing through thick and thin of covid pandemic times, everyone has some experiences on what they felt and what they opine (think). I too have some my own personal experiences on various feelings.

I really felt proud at doctors of the world. They treated the patients with full zest (energy, interest) and zeal (enthusiasm, passion, जोश) though it was very dangerous for their own lives too. They don't care about themselves. They fulfill their professional duty. I also felt proud at a victim of covid who had quarantine himself in order to save his dear ones. 

After that I appreciate PM of country who (ordered to impose or) imposed a strict lockdown in the country in order to prevent the spread of pandemic and to save the citizens of the country. He also helped the needy and poor in the hard times of COVID pandemic lockdown by depositing some cash in their accounts or making available the necessities to them free of cost. 

Taking negative aspects in consideration, I felt upset and scared too. The thing that scared me the most was that (Covid might not happen to us.) I and my family might not exposed to this virus. The news headlines of continuous rise in the countless number of covid patients also scared me.  

At last, I felt upset at behaviour of the shopkeepers who did unethical practices such as hoarding, black marketing, adulteration, high prices etc. in order to take the advantage of pandemic lockdown. I came to know about the fact that doctors are charging high fees from the patients in return of their services, which makes me sad. Due to lockdown imposed by government, labourers were forced to leave their workplaces without adequate transport facility. Student's studies affected negatively too. Students become lazy and non serious in their studies. People were continuously flouting quarantine rules imposed by the government which also upsets me. 

So, I urge (request) the public to focus on the safe steps during the hard times of pandemic. All are advised to help and co operate with each other for the benefit of the nation.

NEGATIVE IMPACTS OF POPULATION GROWTH: Unemployment- Poor Health- Poverty- Deforestation- Global warming- illiteracy or lack of education- Pollution: Air, water, soil- Loss of Agricultural Land- Climate in Crisis- Loss of Biodiversity

IMPACT OF OVERPOPULATION

- By: Rohan 

In our contemporary world, problem of overpopulation has increased in [leaps and bounds (बहुत बड़ी मात्रा मे)]. It is not only a problem but also an ailment for people as cancer. The recent census (an official numbering of population) (The census figures)reveals that population has been increasing frequently over the years. 

Overpopulation has tremendous impact   over the globe. It is not only an issue but all of the issues are attach to this problem. Overpopulation leads to overcrowding which means poor quality of life. Universally speaking, as the result of overpopulation, there is a sharp decline in the natural resources such as more land is exploited that is to say that more industrialisation and urbanization being searched up, consequently there is a continuous loss of agricultural land and depletion of natural resources. Deforestation has become the major concern, which leads to the global warming and climate in crises. Thus, there is huge loss to biodiversity. 

Another impact of over population is the degradation of the environment. As due to increased population, more and more industries are being set up which is polluting the environment and marine as industries wastes are dumped into water. Rise in number of people on the earth is giving rise to number of vehicles on the roads which causes air and noise pollution to great extent. 

As it is well said that more and more people will bring more miseries and poverty. Increase in population also mean decrease in the standard of living of people such lack of education or illiteracy, poor health facilities, rise in prices of basic amenities of life.

So, The Government, organisations and the other authorities should join their hands to reduce population otherwise the whole world will suffer one day.

Fairs and exhibitions are considered as the main attraction of the cities. Each city has its some famous fairs that are being organised there every year. Various fairs have organised in our hometown frequently such as Book fair, trade fair, festival fairs etc. 

Almost all people visit the fair of their city or  hometown. Recently I visited my maternal grandparents during my summer vacations in dehradun. There I visited trade fair organised at prade ground with my family. It may be organised by the Uttrakhand government or any private institution. It lasts for the two weeks. It is conducted every year to show the various cultures of our country.

It was attended by the tourists from all over the world as dehradun is one of the renowned tourists places of the India. We bought the entry tickets and went in. Different people from different states joined it to present the various specialities of their state such as clothing, accessories, bags etc. The point of attraction was hand made articles as it attracts the customers most, it includes the toil of the makers.

There I enjoyed various rides but camel ride the most and being foody there. We visited different shops to look various presentations. There was an aquarium corner which I loved it. View was very scenic.

Trade fair pass knowledge to the customers and great source of entertainment for them. It is a great source of revenue for as people love to purchase items of various states. The area location gets well known.

Thus, we must visit the fair as it provides us information about the speciality of different states and the uniqueness of the country. The fair was an amalgamation of knowledge and fun.

 Q. When factories and workplaces shut down due to lockdown. Millions of workers had to deal with the loss of income, food shortage and uncertainty about future. Thousand of them began walking home with no means of transport due to the lockdown. Write an article on 'Indian labour's life during lockdown'. You are Ankit/Ankita.

Indian labour's life during lockdown

By: Rohit

The life of a laborer is very hard. He has to work from morning to evening to earn his own bread and butter. He works in shops, factories,  in severe cold as well as in the heat of summer. He gets no comforts in life. He also has to leave his families in search of job. 

labour is the most vulnerable one in any situation. During lockdown due to COVID, the life of labourers became very pathetic. Their workplaces had completely closed down as per the orders of government. They had to face a lot of difficulties. They have no food to eat, no water to drink, no shed or roof to spend  night. So, they decided to migrate their own village to unite their families. On their way also they had to suffer many problems.  Due to lockdown, There was no means of transport for them to arrive their destinations. They moved to their houses on foot. Consequently, their future become uncertain. 

Although later government has arranged transport facility for them yet their problems would not completely solved but they benefitted. we need to be sensitive towards farmers.

So, the labour's life during lockdown is full of struggles and challenges. May god give them strength to face these struggles and challenges. 

Why a majority of students hate history?

Q. Write an article for your school magazine describing why a majority of students hate studying history and how the subject can be made interesting for them..

HISTORY: A HATING SUBJECT

History is one of the important subjects taught and studied at all levels of education since ages. The word History to put it simply means the story of mankind. It refers to the study of past events, particularly human affairs.  

Students consider history as the worst subject in their curriculum. Majority of them hate it. There are so many reasons behind hating this subject. Predominantly, it is tedious (boring) to learn dates, names of people and places which are not even useful in everyday life. Also, it is just about dead people. Another reason is that history lays emphasis on text reading. It has theoretical base only. There is no practicality in it rather it is just the memorization of people, places and dates. And this is not useful and relevant in modern era or student's entire lifetime. 

It is the need of the hour to make history an interesting subject for the students. History classes should be conducted in a interesting way. Textbooks should contain diagrams, flowchart, pitchers, and head points so that students can understand and remember the topics very conveniently. Schools should organise trips to ancient museums to make students learn about past which is very knowledgeable and such museums also highlights tradition and culture of the country. Through this, such traditions can be handed over to the future generations.

Thus, History should be teach in fun and practical way so that students (do not hate this subject anymore.)don't find it boring anymore.

A day without TV Article

 Q. How do you feel if you were to spend a day without TV? Express your views in the form of an article in about 150 words. You may like to use the hints given below:

Boring life- no entertainment- no way to pass time- no knowledge, no news, no current affairs, no TV games, no live matches, no favourite programmes, films or music- life unimaginable- partial cut down possible but not total ban         OR

Interesting life- no more ads  and commercial breaks- more time for family, friends and studies- more fun in outdoor activities and sports- better health and fitness- no scolding from mother/father- the sooner it is switched off the better.

A Day Without T.V.  (1st option)

By: .......

In today's world, technology plays an important role in our lives. Our life depends on the modern gadgets such as computer, T.V, mobiles, laptops etc. TV is considered as widely used means of entertainment all over the world. 

To begin with, a life without it is unimaginable and boring particularly during vacations. There will be no entertainment too far. People don't have no knowledge about what is going around them. They are also unable to know about the news on various subjects. They are not familiar with the current affairs too.

Sports loving persons are unable to watch the live matches of their respective games. Excitement of knowing scores of their country would no more. 

If there is no availability of tv people will not be able to watch their favourite  programmes, films or music. Also children are not able to play TV games.  It is difficult for them to pass their leisure time. They keep buzzing like files. 

Consequently, their behaviour becomes irritating, angry and have minds full of tension and anxiety. People will sleep in their free time and become lazy with each passing day.

Thus, we can limit the use of T.V in our life. Its partial cut down is possible but its total ban from our lives is impossible. We hardly find sewing machine in every home, whereas there is no home without television.

OR

A Day without TV (IInd option)

Long gone are the days when ( TV sets were a rare luxury but today TV has become an indispensable (जो हटा नहीं सकते)  part of our life.) people used to live without electronic gadgets but today  their houses are full of these gadgets and T.V. is the most common and popular among them.

 Without TV, our life will become very interesting. We can save much time and utilised in various beneficial activities. If there is no T.V., we can spend more time with family and friends. We can explore our past items or can improve our mistakes which we had done earlier. 

Not only that, we can spend our time in exploring the nature. Students can concentrate more on their studies. They can improve their academic results. They go for outing and take part in various competitions held in their schools. They are not being scolded by their parents too. In order to get more fun and better health and fitness, they start taking active participation in outdoor activities and sports. 

There will not be ads and commercial breaks. We need not rely on the false advertisements displayed by various companies and organisations. We ourselves go to the Market and buy the genuine products at reasonable rates.

 Moreover, the more vulgar activites are presented which affects the child behaviour. That is to say that People are watching more crime and violent scenes which makes them to do same in their real life. 

 

Thus, it is well said the sooner it is switched off the better.
