THERE SHOULD BE NO SCHOOLS AT ALL

Good Morning Everybody. I'm Abc and in today's debate, I stand before you to speak in favour of the motion 'There Should Be No Schools At All'.

There is no denying to the fact that right from the play way, there isn't even a single kid who want to go to school. There are many things that are not taught in schools that help children in their real life. Secondly, schools consume most of the time of the children. They spend too much time at school. Some students has also complain of spending half of their day at school. Even they are hard to find some time for their family.

 It would costs money to run the schools. All the expenses are pass on to children in the form of high fees. It is very difficult for a student to get admission in schools because of too much paper work and formalities. It appears that schools are only for the children of high salaried class people. It gives only burden to childrens because of too much homework and useless projects. This create stress and tension in their minds.

Thirdly, schools lay emphasis only on bookish knowledge, which is of no use in the future of the children. So, schools are not considered as right place for learning new things. It does not have definite or correct method of learning. So, it only promote rote learning instead of practicality. My next argument is that school encourages unnecessary competition among students and creates stress and tension in their minds. It also impose unnecessary rules and restrictions on students.

The basic purpose of schools is to provide education, which can be provided at homes as well. then I want to ask why there is a need of school ? Schools consume too much time of students. (Students spent too much time at school) Consequently, there is no time left with them for play or any recreational activity and makes them book worm or copy cats.

So, In the light of above arguments, I whole heartedly support the motion There should be no schools at all instead there should be an online education for students.

Thank you.

SOLAR ENERGY- A BOON

By: Manoj

 The Sun is an indispensable element in our life. It is the gift from nature to us. And the energy from the sun in the form of radiations is called as Solar energy. This is very popular source of energy known to human beings. Presently, It is used in many households across the globe. 

There are numerous advantages of solar energy. Firstly, It can be produced without building expensive power plants. Its production is very simple, which means it just needs the sun. That is, there is no need to build or fix expensive power plants. One only needs to install solar panel on the roof to generate adequate amount of energy. Because sunlight is available in abundance, solar energy has become the better alternative to other forms of energy. 

Secondly, It is the only environment friendly source of producing energy. It does not cause any pollution as it does not contains green house emissions, contaminations and any toxic chemicals. So, It does not harms the environment. There is no moving parts in solar devices too which does not cause any noise pollution and considered as a clean and natural resource. 

It is the need of the hour that government should come forward to promote solar energy in the country. Various environmental awareness programmes for creating awareness about solar energy should be organised (conducted). Government should also provide more financial support and subsidies to install solar power panel or stations in the country and make this country a better place to live in.

PROBLEMS CHILDREN HAVE TO FACE

By: Rahul 

 Children are considered as the and wealth of the nation. They have the power to transform the world. They are considered as the doctors, politicians, scientists and architects of the tomorrow. But their way is full of stones and problems which they have to face with.  

Various problems are prevalent there in our society, which children have to face with. For instance, child labour, child abuse, child marriages, corporal punishment and various other crimes against children. It is very common to see the children working as dhabha workers, industry workers, household worker etc. Inspite of so many advancements in the world, problems faced by children still continue. It is not only disturbing but shocking also that we find these problems in the headlines of all the newspapers. It is considered as stigma for our society. 

The most important reason that children have to face these problems is that we are under the trap of multiple anti-social elements in the society. Lack of awareness, education, political and moral support are also some of the factors responsible for the problems faced by children. And all this negligence of ours has resulted in the deprived of education, play and development of these children. 

Government, society and the concerned authorities need to wake up from the eternal sleep. There is an urgent need of social awareness among the youth and society. Various laws should be framed and implemented by the government to say permanent good bye to the problems faced by children. 

It is better late than never, we can still expect a bright and safe childhood for all children.

 

Speech Writing on 'Diwali without Fire crackers'.

 Q. As head boy/ head girl of your school, you have to deliver a speech in the morning assembly on "Diwali without firecrackers". Write the speech in about 150 words pointing out the ill-effects of firecrackers i.e. wasteful expenditure, air pollution due to poisonous chemicals released in the air, child labour in cracker manufacturing units.  

  DIWALI WITHOUT FIRE CRACKERS

Respected principal, My worthy teachers and dear friends. A very Good Morning to all of you gathered here. Today I am here to express my views on the topic "Diwali without fire crackers". 

India is a land of festivals. The Diwali is one of the most significant festivals of the Hindus. It is celebrated as the return of homecoming of lord Rama after the 14 years of exile. But people fire a lot of crackers during this festival, (Firing crackers during Diwali has increased in leaps and bounds) which is very harmful to our lives as well as the environment. The bursting of crackers during Diwali contribute towards the air pollution due to various poisonous chemicals released in the air, which is the major cause of (respiratory) breathing problems such as asthma among people. It also causes throat, nose and eye related problems. Birds, animals and pets too affected by its sound and pollutants from crackers causes the death and noise pollution. It is considered as a wasteful expenditure for the most of the parents. It is their children's desire which force them to burst crackers. 

And our persistent firing of crackers has resulted in the degradation of the environment, increase of children working in the cracker manufacturing units as the most of these units employ only children as labourers. To put this practice to an end, government needs to take strict action against these units. It makes the streets full of waste of burnt crackers. 

Instead of firing crackers, people should find out the alternative ways to celebrate diwali. They can worship the goddess Lakshmi and pray for health, wealth and prosperity. Then they can also distribute sweets among their relatives, friends and orphan children. They can decorate their houses, lit candles and earthen pots to celebrate this loveliest festival. So, I urge the public not to fire crackers at all.

Thank you.

 Qualities of an ideal student    

                        By: Rahul  

The word 'ideal' means a person or a thing regarded as perfect and student means a person who is studying at school, college or university. So, an ideal student to put it simply means a perfect student. He is the one who is all round the best and an admirable student. He lives in accordance with the rules of conduct and discipline. He follows the principle of simple living and high thinking.  

The qualities of ideal student are manifold. He is the one who is fully aware (conscious) of his duties and responsibilities. As we all know that the word 'student' is closely related to educational institutions, so the basic purpose of a student is to study. An ideal student also very dedicated to his/ her studies but not a bookworm. He gives an equal importance to everything. Everything is equally important for him. He takes an active interest in games and sports believing in the saying that work while you work and play while you play that is way to be happy. Besides this, he also gives his  active participation in all extra-  curricular activities in the school.  

He is an early riser and a healthy man. He is punctual and obedient in everything. He is a true friend and true friends are rare in this world. He helps his friends in need and so he is a friend in deed. He is not only a true friend but also a selfless or selfish worker. He acts as helping hand to his fellows. Besides this, he never quarrels with anybody. He does nothing that gives him bad name and fame. Thus, he is a model before students. He also understands his duties towards society and takes an active interest in social activities.  

These qualities ensure a bright future of a student. So, every student must try (it is the duty of every student) to inculcate all these qualities in themselves and move ahead on the path of success. If they have strong determination and will power, they will certainly be an ideal before others.

BENEFITS OF CAR POOLING

                             By: Rahul

Car pooling is also known as car sharing, ride sharing or lift sharing. It is the sharing of a car by the driver and one or more passengers which is good for commuting (going one place to another). It is becoming more popular these days as it has a variety of benefits. 

In this hectic life, we do not have much time for ourselves. Car pooling is one of the best ways of relaxation. All in all, it is one of the best ways to save our planet from global warming. As usually, due to shortage of time people used to carry their own cars for their destinations. Moreover, It not only helps you save money but also helps in socializing while travelling together. It greatly decreases pollution and the parking space and help in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. It really helps us to combat rising traffic congestion by filling the extra seats in the car. Furthermore, in order to save, the best and the most affordable way is to promote public transportation. Being cost effective, it helps in reducing fuel consumption as in the cost of fuel for one vehicle, many people can travel. Having fewer cars on road means reduces the presence harmful gases and improved air quality. Seeing health, air pollution caused by vehicular travel is linked to number of health concerns including respiratory diseases, allergies and neurological effects. This system reduces the health risks for yourself and everyone else.

As more people take part in car pooling programs or organise car pools within their workplace  overall traffic congestion will decrease which reduces fuel consumption, time and cost of road repair.

 1.   IMPORTANCE OF OPEN SPACES AND GREEN BELT AREAS IN A CITY 

                                     By: Rohan

Long gone are the days when cities have enough open spaces and green belt areas. But now a days, Industrialization and urbanization are occurring at a very great pace. As a result (Consequently), open spaces and green belt areas are disappearing from the cities gradually. [It is the matter of grave concern that open spaces and green belt areas are disappearing from the cities day by day continuously over the period of time.] Basically,  open spaces refers to the any piece of land that is underdeveloped and has no buildings and other built structures. And green areas are those areas which are partly or completely covered with grass, trees, shrubs and other vegetation. 

Prominently, various benefits are offered by these areas which improves the quality of life. That is, open spaces being used for entertainment value (for celebrations, festivals and events etc.) which provide us fresh air to breathe and these green elements purify the air. As far as the health is concerned, green spaces are considered as lungs of the city with which a city breathe and open spaces means a healthy human environment. They beatifies the city and give a pleasant look to a city as there is spick and span (neat and clean) air to breathe.

Firstly, open spaces and green belt areas provide a vital source of fresh air, reducing pollution levels in cities. They act as natural filters, absorbing harmful pollutants and releasing clean air into the atmosphere. This significantly improves the overall air quality and helps in combating the adverse health effects caused by pollution.

Secondly, these spaces offer recreational opportunities for children and the elderly. Children can indulge in outdoor activities, promoting their physical and mental well-being. Similarly, green spaces serve as peaceful havens for the elderly, providing them with places to relax, exercise, and socialize, ultimately enhancing their quality of life.

Furthermore, studies have shown that proximity to green areas increases the life span of people living in cities. Access to nature and green spaces has been linked to better mental health, improved immune system functions, and reduced stress levels. These factors contribute to a healthier and happier population.

Moreover, open spaces and green belt areas provide respite from the suffocation of city living. These serene environments offer tranquility and a sense of escape from the bustling urban life. Being in nature has a soothing effect on our minds and bodies, promoting a sense of rejuvenation and peace.

Finally, the availability of open spaces and green belt areas can significantly reduce traffic pollution. Encouraging people to use these spaces for recreation and commuting helps in decreasing the number of vehicles on the road, ultimately minimizing carbon emissions and improving air quality.

       ADVANTAGES OF LITERACY

                                       By: XYZ 

Literacy can be defined as the ability to assess someone to read and write effectively. It is such skill that it is never too late to acquire as it enhances the quality of life, awareness and skills of people. Not being a literate makes a person lack of resources so its crucial role must be understood by every person in their life of a society.  

Literacy would lead to free thinking and freedom and it gives people an access to share information. That is it could easier to communicate certain information in certain conditions. Yet, literacy is essential for many other areas of life like education, technology, economy etc. In economy it is important during the state of recession. Moreover, playing a greater role; modern companies try to adapt new technologies and tools and adjust to new changes. It improves the economy by creating job opportunities and thus improves the society and economy both. Additionally, without having literacy skills people cannot help their children with their homework, unable to read medicine prescriptions, contracts, official documents etc. may lack awareness among people. Literacy is an indicator of development and a powerful tool against poverty. Being in poverty-stricken area, literacy help in economic and social progress by providing various opportunities. They can even move independently and explore the world and overall it strengthens the economy.  

Literacy as a part of education is the backbone of knowledge and development. people can communicate effectively. People are more likely to adapt more preventive measures. They could adapt themselves in this changing world which continually improves their standard of living and lead longer and healthy lives. Furthermore, women are the most powerful agents of change in the community so literacy promotes the gender equality as it is said that "every literate women marks a victory over poverty." And when citizens are literate they are more concerned about the issues and informed the matter to their communities which promotes the democracy and peace in the country and enhance the cultural diversity.  

In conclusion, literacy is a part of everyone's life. We all try to make an impact on our society by having jobs, care for our families health and for our community. If we are illiterate, we cannot make such impacts. So, by continuing efforts we all can receive a quality education and lives.

Letter to the editor on social media addiction among children.

 Q. You recently read a newspaper report saying children are getting addicted to social media like the 'Facebook'. Write a letter to the editor of a newspaper to express your concern on the issue, highlight the harmful effects of using social media and suggest what can be done to check its misuse.  [6th Class BBC Compacta]

Subject: Social Media addiction among Children.

Sir, 

Through one of the columns of your esteemed newspaper I want to express my concern over the issue of increasing social media among children. (I want to highlight the problem of excessive use of social media among children.) 

Social media, no doubt, has many advantages. It connects children with their friends and creates a connection and belonging among them. It enhances their knowledge, develops skills and make them creative. They go on uploading their pics (posts) and making new friends.  

Consequently, children have started spending more time in social media. It has affected their health adversely. They have become a victim of cyber bullying and damaging their online reputation. It distracts them from their studies. (It has negative effect on children's homework.) Their eyesight get weak. They have become obsessed. Also, They waste their precious time in counting their likes on their post (pics) and chatting with friends.

Thus, it is the duty of parents to check ( ensure) that their children do not develop social media addiction. They should be regularly checked that they do not misuse it instead they will use it carefully and judicially. It is very useful but may prove to be equally harmful. They should encourage them to take interest in outdoor activities and limit their access to their social media.  

I hope you will publish my letter in your esteemed newspaper so as to make children and their parents aware about ill effects of using excessive social media.  

Yours Truly
