How to save tigers
Q. In the survey report it has been found that only 1411 tigers are left in India. It shows that a large number of tigers jave been killed illegally. The government and other several agencies have come forward to save the tigers. As a member of one agency, write an article in above 120 words on “How to save tiger.”
HOW TO SAVE TIGERS
By: ABC
The tiger is regarded (known) as the national animal of India. But it is the matter of a grave (serious) concern that population of tigers have been decreasing continuously over the number of years (over the period of time). The recent survey reveals that only 1411 tigers are left in India, which shows that they are on the verge of extinction.
First of all (At first), As we all know that Food is the basic requirement of one's to be alive. So, There must be proper food requirement available for tigers for their survival. Besides this, many people kil tigers to sell products made of tiger's skin, fur, teeth etc. So, we must discourage the poachers and put a ban on the products made of tiger parts (ban on these products)
Similarly, we must not degrade the environment i.e. (that is) we must not cut trees (We must stop deforestation) and protect forests to safeguard tiger's habitat. If tigers go extinct, the entire ecosystem would collapse (disbalanced, disturbed) and food chain will become imbalance (break). Inspite that, efforts should be made to shift villages away from the tiger's habitats. Furthermore, cruelty to animals must be stopped in circuses.
Government should come forward to take some stringent (strict) steps to save them (tigers) and also make people aware regarding saving the tigers. Wildlife laws should be properly enforced and implemented well. Strict punishment should be given to those who will try to harm the tigers. Some more tiger reserves must (should) be established. Government had initiated an initiative 'Project tiger' in 1973 to save and protect (maintain) the tiger population in their natural habitat. Last but not the least, teach others about the threats (that our national animal) they face. Talk to friends and family. As people learn more about tigers, they will try harder to save (protect) them. Money should be raised for tiger conservation organization and support these organisations and researchers who are working to save the tigers. Save the tiger fund should be encouraged.
Go Out and spread the words that tigers are dying (disappearing) and they need our help.

Population Growth- Threats and opportunities
Q. Rajan/Ria came across the world population projections in the newspapers and also the effect of increasing population on certain global issues. But at the same time he/she feels that growing population is a boon for a country as it adds human resource. Write an article on "Population Growth- Threats and opportunities."
POPULATION GROWTH- THREATS AND OPPORTUNITIES
By: Rajan
Population growth simply refers to the growth in the number of persons living in a particular area during a particular (specified) period of time say; during the last five years. Birth rate(increasing), death rate (decreasing) and migration from one area to another are the major components of population growth.
Population growth is a major (the greatest) threat that our nation is facing today. It is affecting our quality of life. It gives rise to a number of problems. More and more people will bring more and more poverty and miseries. The growing population is constantly degrading or destroying the environment. Forests and green belt areas are gradually disappearing, which has negative impact on the environment.
Furthermore (Moving further), It is one of the key threats to the environment that can be in different forms such as soil erosion, climate change, deforestation, waste in various forms, over utilisation of natural resources, emissions of green house gases, which contributes to climate change. It destroys the habitats of various other living creatures which results in the loss of biodiversity which has also disturbed the whole food chain. Hence, almost all environmental issues are either directly or indirectly related to population.
Moreover, our resources are limited. So, it also can creates the shortage of seats in educational colleges and universities etc. and causes problems like starvation, illiteracy, exploitation of masses, unemployment, increase in the number of crimes (increase in crime rate, rate of crime), increase in poverty etc. Additionally A rapid and continuous increase in population has led to overcrowding of places, development of slums, shortage of water and power supply, huge traffic jams apart from various other problems. Pollution level and living conditions are becoming bad to worse. Also, demand in markets has risen due to which prices of necessities increases, resulting in inflation.
On the contrary to it, (Nevertheless, ऐसा होने पर भी)(However,)(In contrast,) overpopulation ( population growth) provides a lot of opportunities to many people. It adds to the human resource of a country, which is considered as its greatest asset. It will increase the productive capacity of an economy; which enhance economic growth and improves the standard of living of people. Furthermore, It also gives rise to the improvement in various fields such as, industrial, medical and agricultural.
As the threats of population growth overweight its opportunities. It has done more harm than good. So, the government should come forward to take the initiative to control it by providing various facilities to one child families, creating awareness about various birth control methods and make this nation the best place.

It is the best way to shape, enjoy, outdoors and have fun while doing it.

It really saves money and time being the cheapest means of communication.
In addition to this, cycling also reduces congestion especially around school gates, making it safer for students and provides them an active start to the day.

2. Advantages of Cycling. By: Ram
In today's fast-paced world, where health and environmental concerns are on the rise, cycling is becoming an increasingly popular mode of transportation. There are numerous advantages to choosing cycling over driving or using public transportation, and it’s time for us to take a cue from China and promote cycling as a viable means of transport in India.
One of the most obvious advantages of cycling is the health benefits it provides. Cycling is a great form of exercise that helps build stamina, improve cardiovascular health, and tone muscles. It's a low-impact exercise that's easy on the joints and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. By cycling regularly, you can keep fit without having to spend money on gym memberships or expensive workout equipment. Another advantage of cycling is that it's an economical mode of transportation. With fuel prices constantly on the rise, cycling can save you a significant amount of money on a daily basis.
Furthermore, owning and maintaining a bicycle is much cheaper than owning a car. By cycling instead of driving, you can also save money on parking fees, tolls, and other transportation expenses. In addition to the personal benefits, cycling also has a positive impact on the environment. Unlike cars and motorbikes, bicycles do not produce harmful emissions that contribute to air pollution. By choosing to cycle instead of drive, you can reduce your carbon footprint and help keep the air clean. Furthermore, cycling helps to reduce traffic congestion and noise pollution on the roads. With more people choosing to cycle, there will be fewer vehicles on the road, leading to less congestion and fewer traffic jams. This will ultimately lead to a more pleasant and peaceful urban environment for everyone.
In China, bicycles are more popular than cars, and the benefits of this shift in transportation culture are clear. With India being the largest producer of bicycles, it’s fair to ask: can it be the largest user as well? The time is ripe for us to promote cycling as a mainstream mode of transport in India. By following China’s example, we can work towards creating a cleaner, healthier, and more sustainable future.
In conclusion, the advantages of cycling are numerous, and it’s high time we recognize and promote it as a viable means of transportation. Not only does cycling provide great exercise and save money, but it also has a positive impact on the environment, reduces congestion, and promotes a healthier lifestyle. So, let's all get on our bikes and pedal towards a brighter future for India.
3. Advantages of Cycling By: Riya
In today's sedentary world, where people are becoming more and more reliant on technology, staying active and maintaining a healthy lifestyle has never been more important. One way to achieve this is through cycling. Not only is it a good form of exercise, but it also brings along numerous other advantages. Let us explore the benefits of cycling and understand why it is crucial to promote this eco-friendly mode of transport in our country.
First and foremost, cycling is an excellent way to keep fit and maintain a healthy body and mind. It provides a cardiovascular workout that helps in strengthening the heart, building muscle strength, and improving lung capacity. Regular cycling not only helps in weight management but also reduces the risk of various diseases, including heart ailments, diabetes, and obesity. Moreover, it boosts mental well-being, reduces anxiety and depression, and enhances cognitive abilities. By incorporating cycling into our daily routine, we can ensure a healthier tomorrow for ourselves and future generations.
Furthermore, cycling is an economical means of transportation. With fuel prices skyrocketing, cycling proves to be a cost-effective alternative, saving both money and time. By pedaling to our destination, we can avoid spending exorbitant amounts on fuel and parking charges. It is a particularly crucial aspect in a developing country like India, where a major portion of the population belongs to the middle or lower income group. Encouraging cycling as a primary mode of transport would not only help individuals save money but also reduce the burden on their pockets, leading to improved living standards.
Aside from the personal benefits, cycling has a significant positive impact on the environment and our surroundings. As bicycles do not emit harmful gases, cycling is an eco-friendly option that helps combat pollution and reduces carbon footprint. With rising concerns about global warming and climate change, it becomes imperative for us to adopt sustainable practices, and cycling is a simple yet effective way to contribute towards a greener world. Additionally, cycling eliminates noise pollution, as the silent hum of the wheels provides a serene environment, unlike the incessant honking and engine noises of motor vehicles.
Another advantage of cycling is the freedom from traffic congestion. As urbanization rapidly takes place, traffic jams have become a daily nightmare for commuters. By cycling, we can bypass traffic snarls, reach our destination quicker and with lesser frustration. Moreover, bicycles require far less parking space than cars, reducing the strain on parking infrastructure. This would free up valuable land, which could be used for more productive purposes such as parks, playgrounds, or cycling tracks.
To promote cycling in India, we can draw inspiration from countries like China. China, the world's largest producer of bicycles, has successfully encouraged people to embrace this mode of transport. In cities like Beijing, Shanghai, and Hangzhou, cycling is more popular than cars, with dedicated cycling lanes and various other infrastructural provisions. As the largest producer of bicycles globally, India has the potential to replicate this success story. By developing safe cycling infrastructure, implementing cycling-friendly policies, and raising awareness about its benefits, we can aspire to become the largest user of bicycles and pave the way for a healthier and more sustainable future.
In conclusion, cycling offers numerous advantages that go beyond physical fitness. It promotes a healthier lifestyle, saves money, helps protect the environment, reduces traffic congestion, and improves overall well-being. It is high time we recognize the importance of cycling and make a conscious effort to encourage its adoption on a large scale. By pedaling our way towards the future, we can create a healthier, greener, and more prosperous India.

4. Advantages of Cycling By: Renuka
In today's fast-paced world, finding time for physical activity can be a real challenge. With busy schedules and sedentary lifestyles becoming the norm, it is essential for us to integrate exercise into our daily routine. One such form of exercise that offers numerous benefits is cycling. Whether it's a leisurely ride through the park or a challenging mountain biking adventure, cycling not only brings joy but also improves our overall well-being.
Firstly, cycling is a fantastic way to tone our bodies and stay fit. It engages a range of muscles in our bodies, working our legs, arms, core, and even the small muscles in our hands and feet. As we pedal, our leg muscles contract and relax, providing an excellent workout. The constant balance required while cycling also engages our core muscles, leading to their strengthening and toning. Cycling helps to maintain a healthy body weight and reduce the risk of obesity, heart diseases, and other lifestyle-related ailments.
Additionally, cycling enhances our stamina and cardiovascular health. Regular cycling improves our heart rate, making it stronger and more efficient at pumping blood around the body. As a result, our lungs become stronger too, improving our breathing capacity and overall endurance. This improved stamina allows us to engage in physical activities for a longer period without feeling exhausted. The heightened cardiovascular health helps to reduce the risk of heart attacks, lower blood pressure, and maintain good cholesterol levels.
Another substantial benefit of cycling is the positive impact it has on our environment and saves valuable resources. Unlike motorized vehicles, bicycles neither emit harmful gases nor require fossil fuels to operate. Thus, cycling becomes an eco-friendly mode of transportation, reducing air pollution and carbon emissions. By choosing to cycle over driving, we contribute to the preservation of our planet and strive towards a sustainable future.
Moreover, cycling is not only beneficial for overall fitness but also strengthens our muscles. As we pedal, the resistance helps to build our leg muscles, enhancing their strength and endurance. Over time, our muscles adapt to the demands of cycling, becoming stronger and more flexible. Additionally, regular cycling stimulates the production of red blood cells, leading to improved oxygen delivery to our muscles and tissues.
Lastly, cycling has a profound effect on our mental well-being. Riding a bicycle can be incredibly exhilarating, invoking a sense of freedom and adventure. It allows us to reconnect with nature and escape from the stresses of everyday life. Engaging in physical activity releases endorphins, also known as the "feel-good" hormones, which uplift our mood and reduce stress levels. Cycling regularly helps to combat anxiety, depression, and other mental health issues, resulting in increased energy and a positive outlook.
In conclusion, the advantages of cycling are extensive and impactful. From toning our bodies, increasing stamina, and strengthening muscles to saving fuel and being eco-friendly, the benefits of cycling cannot be overstated. By embracing cycling as a means of transport and incorporating it into our daily routines, we can enjoy a healthier lifestyle and promote a sustainable environment. So, let's dust off those bicycles, put on our helmets and embark on the marvelous journey of cycling for a brighter future ahead.

With the rising fuel prices, cycling is a financially sustainable mode of transportation. It can save individuals a substantial amount of money in the longrun, reducing the burden on their pockets.
Environmentally Friendly
One of the most significant advantages of cycling is its minimal environmental impact. Unlike cars and other motor yehicles, bicycles produce no pollution and generate no noise. The reduction in carbon emissions from the widespread adoption of cycling could signifcantly contribute to mitigating climate change. By cycling we are directly reducing our carbon footprint and helping to preserve the environment for future generations. It's a small change that can have a substantial impact.
Relieving Road Congestion and Traffic Jams
Traffic congestion is a persistent issue in urban areas. The ever-growing number of vehicles on the road leads to stressful traffic jams, which not only waste time but also exacerbate pollution levels. Promoting cycling can help alleviate road congestion by providing a cleaner, more efficient mode of transportation. Fewer cars on the road mean less gridlock, shorter commutes, and a more peaceful urban environment.
Following the Examples of the Netherlands, Denmark, and Sweden
India can learn valuable lessons from countries like the Netherlands, Denmark, and Sweden, which have successfully transformed into bilke-friendly nations. These countries have embraced cycling as a significant mode of transportation and invested in the infrastructure needed to supportit. They have created extensive networks of dedicated bike lanes, bike-sharing programs, and bike-friendly urban planning. India has the potential to follow in their footsteps and create a cycling-friendly culture.
Creating Separate Bike Lanes
To promote cycling, India should prioritize the development of dedicated bike lanes. These lanes will ensure the safety of cyclists, encourage more people to take up cycling, and ultimately lead to a reduction in accidents. Additionally, creating infrastructure that supports cyclists, such as secure bike parking facilities and shower facilities at workplaces, can make cycling a more attractive and feasible choice.
Largest Bicycle Producer: A Bright Future for Cycling
It is worth noting that India is the largest producer of bicycles in the world. Leveraging this status, the country has a unique opportunity to become a leader in promoting cycling and bicycle-related initiatives. By embracing this industry, we can pave the way for India to become the most bike-friendly country in the world.
In conclusion, the need for promoting cycling in India is undeniable. It offers numerous benefits, from providing recreation and exercise to being a cost-effective and eco- friendly mode of transportation. By emulating the successes of cycling friendly nations like the Netherlands, Denmark, and Sweden, and investing in infrastructure to support cyclists, India can create a more sustainable, healthier, and environmentally conscious future. It is high time we prioritize cycling, not just as a means of transportation but as a way of life. Let's pedal our way towards a greener and brighter future. [edurev]

Speech on 'Superstitions and its ill effects on the society'
Q. You were shocked to come across the news of killings of innocent people purely on superstitions and hearsays even in present days. Prepare a speech on the topic "Superstitions and its ill effects on society" to be delivered in the morning assembly of your school.
SUPERSTITIONS AND ITS ILL EFFECTS
Good Morning Respected principal, My worthy teachers and My dear friends. Today I stand before you to express my views on 'ill effects of superstitions on society'.
Since long time, we have seen people believe in power of unseen forces but it has no natural, logical or scientific evidence of being true. It is unreasonable but still exist all over the world. The most common sources of superstition are the fear and ignorance. It is a blind faith and has no explanation. Each country has its own superstitions. For exemplifier, In greek, the elements of nature are worshipped as god but in the Indian tradition the god is worshipped in the form of statue. People also continue to worship the sun, moon, planets, stars, plants and so on believing that these things have power to influence their lives. All people even educated and highly qualified may believe in superstitions to some extent. Some people named it as evil eye, ghosts and many more. Even superstitions are related to animals also as such if a crow caws on a house top it is thought that guests may come. Some people believe if a cat crossing your path is s sign of bad luck.
India has long history of superstitions. For instance, someone sneezes during the time of departure, people consider it yo be unlucky. Similarly, the number 13 is considered unlucky. It is believed that we will do best in an examination if we have curd and sugar before leaving the house. If a person meets a priest in the morning, he fears bad luck may follow. On the other hand, if he meets a beggar, he feels the day will bring good luck. Some superstitions are even related to involuntary movements of body parts like itching on a female palm is considered as a sign of getting unexpected wealth. Twitching of a left eye lid of a man is considered ominous. Similarly in the case of an owl, the hooting of owl is a sign of bad happening as such the wailing of dog. People in all countries believe in ghosts, witches and black magic and its very common. Superstition is often blamed failures in day to day life. Education and common sense can destroy superstitions because superstitions are only the products of illiteracy. Here, knowledge and superstitions are inversely proportional.
If we look at it look closely, there is no logic behind the beliefs and practices of superstitions. And despite with the technological advancement and global reach of education, superstitions are gradually disappearing. But a lot remains to be done before superstitions are completely done away otherwise each moment of our life will be on edge.

Reading is very common hobby and a very good habit that everyone needs to develop in life. Books, magazine and newspapers became an important part of our life. It is rightly said that Reading is to mind, just as exercise is to body. It provides a lot of benefits to every human being. Initially, Reading (helps us to get knowledge, information and entertainment) is the best source of knowledge and entertainment. Reading (It) helps people to escape from their hectic schedule by forgetting our unpleasant surroundings. It provides a peace of mind both to intellectuals as well as average readers. Reading relieves the boredom and dullness from people's (our) life. The books are the best companions and sincere friends. So, never deserts (desist) the habit of reading. Reading is the most interesting and rewarding But we should be very careful in choosing (selecting) the books because if we go for cheap quality (qualitative) books, they can misguide us and spoil our career. Reading not only keeps us informed but also passes our time and refreshes our mind. Moreover, Reading books also increases our vocabulary and improves communication skills. In the end, Reading leads to learning so we should go for more and more reading.
Thankyou.
