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.

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.

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. People come over here in large numbers to perform general exercise and recreational activities. Moreover, green spaces play a vital role for children and old people. As these spaces are very important for mental health. As these provide space for various purposes like physical activities, social interaction, yoga etc. which helps children to achieve their fitness goals.

Such areas improve the well being and all types of illnesses. Thus, life span of people in cities increases. Furthermore, such open areas are very important for natural ecosystem as it adversely affect the climate.

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.

Debate opposing the motion 'There Should Be No Uniform In Schools'.

 Q. Write a speech opposing the motion 'There Should Be No Uniform In Schools'.

 
There Should Be No Uniform In Schools. 
Respected chairperson, Members of the Jury and My worthy opponents. 

I am XYZ and I stand (before you to express my views against the motion) here before you to oppose the motion "There Should Be No Uniform In Schools".  

My first argument is that students (children) look smart in crisp shirt, well ironed trousers, polished shoes, ties, belts and blazers with school crest (school logo). 

Secondly, It creates (promotes) healthy learning environment (atmosphere) in schools by encouraging disciplined learning as student respond with better behaviour. So, It can be said that schools with uniforms generally have better educational results. It (Uniform) considers a norm that everyone in school is equal rich, poor, handicap etc. All the students have to wear uniform irrespective (uniform without reference to, without giving attention to) of any difference. Thus, it creates a sense of equality among students by diminishing social and economic barriers among them and maintains a standard. The question of discrimination also not arises. 

Moving further, I am in favour of uniforms in school is that it gives (it offers) practical benefits when students are on the school trips. Staff can quickly spot (can easily identify) all the students from their school especially at public places and in times of emergency without any trouble and making sure no one get losts. 

My next argument is that students don't have to waste time in thinking what to wear at the start of each school day. Uniform is cheaper than fashionable clothes. So, it helps the students to resists (refuse) (go against) the peer pressure to buy trendy clothes. It also creates (instils) a  sense of belonging, pride, responsibility and unity among the students.  

The main (biggest) advantage of uniform should be there in schools is that it prepare students for life after education when they will be expected to dress smartly as many companies and offices require employees to wear uniforms.  

Thus, it is wrong to say that there should be no uniform in schools.

There should be no uniform in schools.
