Article Writing on Nature Conversation.

 Q. You are Jayant/Jayanti. You feel quite distressed to see that man has been cutting trees indiscriminately for centuries to fulfil his selfish interests.

You decide to write an article for your school magazine highlighting the views on the need to conserve nature. Taking ideas from the unit ‘Environment’ and using your own ideas, write an article in about 100-150 words on the topic ‘Nature Conservation’.

NATURE CONSERVATION

By: Jayant  

Conservation means the protection, preservation, management or restoration of wildlife and natural resources. The main focus is to maintain the health of the natural World, its fisheries, habitats and biological diversities.

Today the World is facing the problem of global warming and the reason for this is the bad habits of human beings like deforestation, burning of fossils fuel etc. The result is that many of animals have become extinct and some of them are at the the verge of extinction. We need to save our flora and fauna. Due to Man's carelessness the ecological balance has been disturbed.

If we do not conserve our nature our own existence will be in danger as man is directly or indirectly dependent on nature. So it becomes the duty of every individual to conserve the nature and its resources so that we can make this planet a beautiful place to live in.

Article Writing on 'Man's Contribution in Natural Disaster.'

 Q. You are Rohit Roy. Write an article on 'Man's Contribution in Natural Disaster' to be published in your school magazine. 

 MAN'S CONTRIBUTION IN NATURAL DISASTERS

- Rohit Roy

In today's world there has been a rapid growth in population level. Due to this there occurs a lot of needs and requirements of people. As for shelter they need furniture, for clothing native needs cotton, wool etc. For fulfilling their food requirements they again depends upon nature. But above all they need land, raw material for establishing their work in business sector, educational sector or in any other field as they depend on nature for one or the other thing.

But today people are so eager to become rich or successful that they are using nature gifted to us by god ruthlessly. This in turn is causing an imbalance in environment. As due to continuous deforestation the effect of global warming is increasing. This also results in causing a disturbance in all natural elements like floods are occuring in water, earthquake causes imbalance of land due to which land sliding are occuring. Tsunamis and cyclones too are occuring due to imbalance in sea levels. These are in a way being unpredictable but the root cause behind these are the activities performed by human beings which causes a lot of harm to environment. So we human beings should not just be destroyer of our nature but should take certain steps to become savers of our nature too.

As it is nature which gives us a lot of beautiful things. So in return it is our duty or responsibility to save our mother Earth from getting destroyed by natural disaster.

Article Writing on Bullet Train in India.

  Q. India is going to introduce bullet train. Should we introduce bullet train ?

Bullet Train In India

By: Rahul

Our Prime Minister has promised to introduced bullet train in India during election. The bullet train is known as high speed trains of Japan. India has one of the largest rail network in the world but doesn't have speed rail lines capable of supporting speed of 200km/h or more. High speed corridors have been proposed but not implemented. No doubt, bullet train project is very beneficial for all. It has many advantages. Due to its speed one can save time. The journey will become short in the busy life of people. It will give relief to the travellers as it provides all the comforts. It is suitable and comfortable for all. But at the same time, it has many limitations. It is not possible to introduce it in India as it will create a problem for all. No doubt, bullet trains are imperative to railway's growth. Bullet train project is very costly and India doesn't have too much financial resources to invest in bullet trains. Double tracks are necessary for the entire length and fail safe. Safety measures have to be place  before bullet trains on rails. Bullet are alien for railway engineers. The project cost is near Rs. 60000 crore. The railway tracks cannot hold bullet trains. The fastest train in India is Shatabi. It is not possible for bullet trains to be introduce. Firstly, railway tracks should be changed and made according to the bullet train. Thus, this project can be implemented in this way.

OR

High speed Bullet trains seems to be one of the transport method of future for many countries across the world. We can see that in Japan it has been for years. But now the question arises whether Bullet trains be the savior or will it be just a source of burden on the economic budget of country.

People who are in favour of bullet trains are of the view that these trains will reduce traffic burdens, provide an environmental benefit by reducing the pollution and help to create more jobs. people will be able to cover large distance easily through bullet train. This will in a way reduce traffic congestion. It will provide jobs to many unemployed. So the travelling will become easier and cheaper as Bullet train will only benefit only the community.

But on the other hand, some people are of view that high speed Bullet train will only eat up the budget of a country providing no real rewards. As it is observed that in developed countries like America more people opt for freedom offered by personal automobiles rather than taking trains. Some people also claim about prices of railway tickets being too expensive for many people who travel in trains regularly. People can say that government rather than spending on Bullet trains should use that fund to improve the present state of transportation infrastructure.

So, we are in a confusion that whether Bullet train will be a boon for developing country like India or a curse for our country.

Television is the best source of enjoyment because of a great advantage of audio as well as visuals. Young generation of modern times cannot imagine their lives without T.V.

Speech writing for class 8th on 'Good deeds reflects good character'.

 Q. Write a speech to be delivered on the morning assembly of your school on the topic 'Good deeds reflects good character'

GOOD DEEDS REFLECTS GOOD CHARACTER.

Respected Principal, worthy teachers and  My dear friends. Today I stand before you to express my views on the topic 'Goods deeds reflects good character'. 

Gandhiji had rightly said that, "If money is lost something is lost, But if character is lost everything is lost". Good deeds always reflects one's character. Some people try to do something different to impress others, which is very wrong. We need to be humble and polite. If we are kind, generous, helpful; our beautiful character is reviewed. We should always mind our words and actions. If a person behaves rudely, it shows her arrogance. We almost understand that we all live in deeds not in years. So, we should try to do good deeds so that we can leave a strong impact on the minds of the people. Hence, it is important that we should develop good character and do good deeds so that we can be remembered.

Thankyou!
