Letter-writing on Pig Menace (To The Editor)

Suppose you are Maneesh/Maneesha, living at 550, Nai Sarak, Ludhiana. Write a letter to the editor of The Tribune, Chandigarh, expressing your views on the pig menace in towns and cities.

550, Nai Sarak,

Ludhiana (Punjab)

The Editor

The Tribune

Chandigarh

Subject: Pig Menace

Sir/Madam,

I wish to draw the kind attention of the authorities concerned and the public in general to the pig menace spread almost in every town and city.

We all are well acquainted with PM Modi’s most popular campaign ‘Swachh Bharat Abhiyan. Newspapers update about the progress of this ‘Abhiyaan’ from time to time. No doubt, the people of the country are well-motivated to make it successful by their efforts.

But, in my humble opinion, we cannot ignore the problems caused by pigs in town and cities. They come in a platoon and spread dirt here and there. They feed themselves on dirty water and the eatables thrown in some empty plots. I know that some people are still uneducated about the ‘Swachhata Abhiyan. That is the reason why pigs keep on wandering in the localities. They not only spread dirt but also diseases through mosquitoes. When a mosquito bites a pig, it carries a very dangerous virus with it. After that, it bites human beings and spreads the disease called ‘Japanese encephalitis’. Moreover, pigs make their surroundings dirty. They should be kept in a pigsty and not be allowed to wander about here and there.

I hope that my views would certainly catch the attention of the authorities concerned and deal with the problem immediately. People are also requested not to throw eatables here and there.

Regards

Maneesh

Formal Letter on the improper use of loudspeakers in general (To The Editor)

Write a letter to the editor of a National Daily highlighting the improper use of loudspeakers in general.

520, Sawan Puri

Amritsar

Jan 15, 20..

To

The Editor

The Times of India

New Delhi

Subject: Improper Use of Loudspeakers

Dear sir/Madam,

Through the columns of your esteemed newspaper, I wish to draw the attention of the public and the authorities concerned to the noise pollution caused by the improper use of loudspeakers. I hope you will surely provide some space to my views.

The loudspeaker is one of the gifts given to us by science. These are used to magnify the sound so that it reaches human ears at some comfortable pitch.

But, we all are well aware of how this wonderful gift of science is being misused everywhere in our country.

The morning begins not with the chirping of birds, the crowing of a cock, but it begins with the blaring sound of the loudspeakers installed at the top of the buildings of worshipping places. In cities, it may be less in practice, but in villages, there is a lot of noise pollution. During the day also, we find much misuse of loudspeakers. At night, if there is a religious function, a marriage, and a reception party in some locality, then, no one can sleep there properly till midnight.

No one cares for the students who are to study. No one cares for the children, the old men and women, and the patients who are to take rest and sleep. There is a law for curbing the menace created by the improper use of loudspeakers. But nobody bothers about it.

I hope the points raised here are relevant in this context and these would certainly stir the sleeping conscience of the public in general and the authorities concerned.

Regards,

Mukesh Ahluwalia

The Rise In Prices (Paragraph-writing)

 The Rise In Prices

The rise in price of all the necessary goods is a matter of concern (worry) not only for the poor, but also for the people of the middle class in developing countries. Usually the people blame the government for not curbing (restricting/controlling) the sudden spurt (rise) in prices of the commodities (things) of daily use. Some of the reasons for the rise in prices are not under the direct control of the Govt. But the political parties often raise issues like this to push the Govt. at its back-foot. The ruling party cannot escape bearing the brunt (impact) of such flaring (erupting) situations. The Govt. will have to maintain the balance between the demand and supply, at least, of the commodities of daily use. If the shortage of a certain commodity is due to some man-made causes, then the Govt. must stop black-marketing and hoarding of that thing. The culprits (the wrong-doers) must be punished severely. If the shortage is due to some natural calamity (disaster), the government must import that thing from a foreign country. In case, the prices of the perishable goods have gone up because of the rise in petro-prices, then the government should decrease tax that is levied on the sale of petrol and diesel. So the state as well as the central governments must cooperate with each other to keep the prices of the necessary goods under control.

Need For Communal Harmony (Writing Paragraphs)

1. Need For Communal Harmony

India is the country where people having different religions, castes, cultures live together in complete harmony. They speak different languages and wear different clothes in different styles. The spirit of brotherhood and nationality binds them together in one whole. But, unfortunately, this communal harmony is sometimes broken temporarily by some anti-social and anti-national elements. This temporary phase of communal disturbance suspends the feelings of brotherhood and affection for one another. Evil forces seem to win over the good forces. But there is always a victory of the good forces over the evil ones. People of different communities forget about their past enmity and start living together once again with the same brotherhood and harmony. Communism is always dangerous for any country. Some internal and external forces are always at work to spread the bitterness of communism in people’s minds. So there is a dire need of becoming aware of the anti social forces. These forces are backed by some foreign countries that are jealous of India’s progress and development. So we must not allow them to be successful in their nefarious designs.

Importance of Blood Donation

Importance of Blood Donation

Blood donation is the best kind of service done to human beings. Some people are well aware about the value of donating blood, but there are many who are still unaware of this fact. Sometimes, blood is needed for their close relative or any of their family members. Then they come to know the real value of blood. After that, they run from pillar to post in search of blood or any donor of blood. So blood donation is very important for all of us. Sometimes, a patient may need blood of a rare group. In that case, one can easily approach a nearby blood bank and procure it immediately. So, the students of schools and colleges should be made well aware about the importance of blood donation. There is a misunderstanding in the minds of some students or people that blood donation makes the donor the victim of some fatal disease. This is not true. The donor is properly examined by the doctor present there to ascertain if the donor is fit to donate blood or not. Blood is also tested before it is administered in the body of the patients. Nor is it true that one becomes weak after donating blood. One can regain the same amount of blood as is donated within twenty four hours. So we should always be ready to donate blood.

The Annual Day Celebrations in My School

The Annual Day Celebrations in My School

We all rejoice in celebrations whenever they occur in our life. We do not let even a single moment go waste while celebrating any important day or occasion. The Annual Day celebrations in my school bring lots of enjoyment to every student and even teachers of my school. The preparations begin two weeks before the day. The Annual Day of my school was celebrated on May 07 this year. It was really  a gala day for all. The parents sat in the auditorium well before time. The participants were ready to listen to the call of the announcer. The Chief Guest was ushered in to occupy the seat. There was a loud clapping from the audience. The Principal came on the stage and welcomed the chief guest and other invitees. He read out the annual speech also. After that,  a prayer was sung by girls and it was followed by a few entertaining items. The Chief Guest was invited to give away the prizes and deliver a speech. He appreciated the Principal, the staff and the management of school for the progress they made in a very short span of time. He also announced a donation of Rs one lakh for the school. The function ended at 1 p.m. sharp.

‘Early to Bed And Early to Rise: Makes a Man Healthy, Wealthy and Wise.’ ( Paragraphs for the Middlers)

4.   ‘Early to bed and early to rise: makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.’

This proverb signifies that early rising is very beneficial for all of us. It is natural because all the creatures on the earth also wake up from their night’s sleep early before the sun-rise. In 'Aayurveda', the habit of early-rising has been emphasized to keep our body fit and healthy. If we get up early in the morning, we may accrue so many benefits for our health. An early riser may go out for walk and jogging. He or she can do meditation, yoga and other physical exercises. By doing meditation and introspection, we become wiser than before. We become wealthy in the sense that our health is also our wealth.  If we are healthy, then and only then we can do hard work and be wealthy. A farmer may tend his cattle and he may go to his fields to do other activities. A house-maker can do so many activities of the house early in the morning. She can prepare breakfast for school going children. She can also finish several other pending tasks. A student can revise his or her lessons and can complete pending home-work. In this way the day becomes long for an early riser. So the proverb ‘Early to bed and early to rise: makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise’ is quite appropriate for us.

Barking Dogs Seldom Bite (Paragraphs for the Middlers)

Barking Dogs Seldom Bite

You must have seen some dogs which start barking on seeing a stranger. They do not come near him but keep on following the stranger. If the person throws a stone at them, they run away at once. Similarly, you might have seen a person who starts shouting at small issues. He or she becomes ready to attack. This is because the other person is lenient and is not reacting strongly. The moment the other person becomes bold and stands against him or her, the situation changes. That person becomes silent.

Sometimes dark clouds in the sky start thundering. We all think that there will be heavy rain. But after some time, the clouds disappear without bringing rain. Thus, we see that the proverb ‘Barking dogs seldom bite’ is true . We should not be afraid of the situation that seems to be colossal (very big) to us. It may seem to be posing dangers to us. But if we are determined to overcome it, we can do so. So the proverb is applicable in  our life also!

Men and Women Should Be Treated As Equal ( Paragraphs for Senior Students)

1. Men and Women Should Be Treated As Equal

Our constitution ensures equality between men and women. But some kind of discrimination between them is still present in our country. Women have equal rights, but they are socially considered inferior to men. They have to face several restrictions put on their freedom. They can move the court if they want, but all women do not dare to break the strong wall of inequality created by men. In rural areas, some women have to remain imprisoned in the four walls of their houses. They are not allowed to move out freely. They are not given proper education. They are still the victims of social evils. Men consider it their right to torture and enslave them.

But the situation in urban areas has changed greatly. The educated women are well aware of their rights and duties. Even the educated men respect women’s rights. The change is visible when we see women working shoulder to shoulder with men in every field of life. The Government is doing a lot in removing the gender discrimination from the country. Various schemes have been launched to uplift the status of women. Help-line numbers have been made public to stop crime against women. General awareness about equality of women with men is being spread by means of print and electronic media. We hope that in near future there would be a great change in the mindset of men who are still backward in their thoughts.

My Visit to a Hill station (Paragraphs for the Middlers)

My Visit to a Hill station

Visiting places increases our knowledge about people, their traditions and culture. I am fond of visiting different places along with my parents. Last year, we visited a hill station, i.e. Shimla. It is situated in Himachal Pradesh. My father had already booked a suite in a hotel. We reached there before noon. First of all, we relaxed for one hour and took tea with some snacks. Then we went to the Jakhoo temple. We had to reach the top of a hill. There were a great number of monkeys. We offered prayers in front of ‘Hanumaanji’ there. In the afternoon we went for shopping on the Mall road. People from various places were wandering about there. Some foreigners were also among them. After eating dinner, we reached the ridge. We enjoyed watching the snow-covered mountain peaks visible at a distance from there. The weather was fine and a cool breeze was blowing. We also saw floating clouds at the ridge. We returned to our home the next morning. It was really a memorable visit of mine.

The Value of Discipline (Paragraphs for the Middlers)

 The Value of Discipline

The word ‘discipline’ has broad meaning, but here we have this word to mean ‘the ability to control behaviour’. The person  showing controlled behaviour towards others is said to be disciplined. He or she follows certain rules and regulations. Discipline is needed in all fields of life. If  children in the house are not in disciple, there will be chaos (disorder).  They will keep fighting between or among themselves and they will not listen to their parents. Suppose, there is no discipline is a class room. You can well imagine the fate of that class. The teacher will not be able to teach the students. Similarly, discipline is required everywhere. A system is to be followed by us if we want to achieve a target or an aim. Discipline can be of two types, internal and external. When we follow discipline of our own, thinking that it is very much required for our own success, this is called internal discipline. This type of discipline comes naturally from within the mind of the person. Another kind of discipline is the forced one and it is followed out of compulsion. The fear of the punishment or bad consequences makes the person follow it. Some people follow discipline naturally while many others follow it due to the fear of punishment. One should follow it naturally. 

Paragraph-writing for the Middlers: Birds of a Feather Flock Together.

3.  Birds of a feather flock together.

The above proverb also contains deep meaning. It means the birds of the same kind always live together. A feather means species. You might have seen the birds of the same species sitting together. You might not have seen different species of the birds like hawks, pigeons, sparrows, crows, eagles, vultures, etc sitting together. They don’t flock together because they are of different species.

All human beings are of the same species. But the proverb that ‘birds of a feather flock together’ applies in case of men somewhat differently. The people who have same tastes and nature sit together.  The persons of the same nature and tastes make friendship. They remain together.

The people of criminal nature will easily find company with the same type of persons. The vegetarians will like the company of vegetarians and similarly the non-vegetarians. The gamblers will like the company of gamblers. Similarly the thieves will like the company of the thieves.

In school, sober students will like the sober, intelligent will like the company of the intelligent. Thus the proverb is true if we understand it in this context.

Paragraph -writing for Middlers: There Comes Calm After A Storm.

2.There Comes Calm After A Storm.

This proverb is quite true.  There is always calm and quiet before and after a storm. When a storm is about to come, sudden changes occur in the atmosphere. Wind stops all of a sudden. Not a single leaf on trees and plants move. But birds and animals have 

premonition of the coming storm. They are able to understand this phenomenon through their sixth sense. They start running towards the safest places.

Even after the storm, there is again calm and quiet.

But the scene is different now. You see that there is a lot of damage and destruction everywhere. You find that trees are uprooted. The branches of many trees are broken and lying scattered everywhere. Many birds are killed. Even animals are also killed. Houses also get damaged. The roofs of some huts are also swept away by the storm.

In human life also, such situations take place. When people of a country are exploited and oppressed by a dictator, they remain quiet in the beginning.  The forces of revolt act silently to gather momentum. When the proper time comes, revolution erupts in various forms. History stands in witness to speak volumes for great revolutions that occurred in the world.

You may quote many such examples in this regard.

Long Paragraph (for article): Over-population: The Mother of Many Problems

Over-population: The Mother of Many Problems

Over-population in our country has become the cause of many problems. After crossing the stunning figure of 10 million a few years ago, it is still increasing at an alarming speed. Its ill-effects are visible everywhere. The most glaring ill-effect is unemployment, which further has given rise to crime and corruption. Unemployed youth do not hesitate to resort to commit crime and joining anti-social elements. They also adopt corrupt means to amass money. Over-population has also indirectly damaged human relationships. There is always a clash of interests in the families where there are siblings more than two. Unemployment due to over-population creates grudge in people’s hearts and this also spoils human relationships.

The impact of over-population can be seen in long queues at the booking windows at railways stations and bus stands, crowds inside railway compartments, buses, trams, three-wheelers, hospitals and where not? It has also disturbed the demand and supply of the essential commodities, giving rises to the prices. The roads are crowded, leading to frequent jams in metro cities. The pressure on the natural resources is increasing at an alarming speed. The causes of over-population are many. But the most effective tool that can prevent the speed of the increase in population is the spread of education. Its speed must be curtailed; otherwise the engine of our country’s economic progress will be derailed.

Education of Girls

1.   2. Education of Girls

Education is like a lamp that removes the darkness of ignorance from human mind. It broadens our point of view (outlook) towards life.

So, all human beings must be educated so that they may see, feel and understand life in its wider perspective.

Unfortunately, some parents do not allow their daughters to get higher education. They themselves are uneducated and narrow-minded. They think that there is no use of spending money on daughters as they will be married off. 

This type of thinking is very bad. Such parents do not know about the benefit of educating a girl. If a boy is educated, one person is educated. If a girl is educated, the whole family is educated. After marriage, she will educate her family. Now-a-days, the government is doing a lot of work to make people aware about the importance of education.

 The traditional thinking of the parents is giving way to a new one. The result is that girls are outshining boys almost in every field of life. Think of any field of life, you will find Indian girls working shoulder to shoulder with boys. They take part in sports and bring medals for the country. They are being recruited in army for higher posts. They may become the CEOS of a company. They may attain any high position in our country. We have so many examples of women attaining high positions in civil services and political field.

Thus, the education of girls is very necessary for the development of our country. 

Educated parents will produce the best citizens for the country. That will be a giant step in the way to progress. So, let us come forward to make the parents of our country take part in the mission to educate the girls.

An Ideal Citizen (an essay for secondary classes)

1. An Ideal Citizen

The person who has legal rights to live permanently in a country, is called a citizen of that country. Every citizen has certain duties and responsibility to perform in a natural way. The citizens who perform their duties and responsibilities honestly are called the ideal citizens.

The first important duty of an ideal citizen is to inculcate within him the human values. For example, he should respect other human beings. He should not discriminate on the basis of colour, caste and creed. He should be tolerant to all people that  come his in contact. He is a broad-minded person. If he enjoys his own rights conferred upon him by the constitution of the country, he is also ready to allow others to enjoy the same freedom and the rights.

He is full of all the cardinal virtues like sympathy, kindness, love, affection, cooperation, honesty, loyalty, etc. He is full of the milk of human kindness. He sympathises with the poor and the sufferer. He does not believe in exploiting the people or any situation. He is not a selfish person. He is ready to offer help to the needy persons according to his capacity. He is not only kind to human beings, but also to all the creatures on the earth. He is an honest person and does all his duties honestly. He is loyal to his country, family and his friends.

He is a great patriot. So he is ready to sacrifice his life if there is need for that. He obeys the rules of the country. Wherever he goes, he wins the hearts of the people around him by means of his virtues and good manners. He is very polite to all.  He never breaks any system. If he has to wait for his turn in a long queue, he does it patiently. He never loses temper because his emotions are always in his control.

He performs his responsibility towards his country, society and family with full honesty. Everyone is proud of him and always yearns for his company. He is appreciated by all. He is a friend of all.

Dear Ankit,

I heard from Sagar that you are feeling disappointed these days because of the low grade you have got in the recent Exams. What benefit it would bring to you? It would affect your body and mind. If you get a low grade in Matriculation Examination, it does not mean that all the doors of making your career are closed for you. It is not the sole basis for enabling you to take admission anywhere for higher education. Work hard in classes XI & XII and make high score in the exams. Then you will forget about class X.

Just relax and come out of the stupor you have landed yourself in.

But, be serious in the next classes. Use mobile phone when needed. Make your time-table and act upon it sincerely. In this way, you will improve a lot.

I am visiting you the next week.

Pay my regards to my uncle and aunt.

Yours Sincerely,

Ankit

Paragraph: 1. A Visit to a Zoo

Paragraph: A Visit to a Zoo

Visiting places is always a very good experience. It makes our knowledge updated about the recent developments and the geographical conditions of various places. It also entertains us as we have a very jolly good time together with our family, friends, relatives or colleagues.

I had a chance to visit the Chhatbir zoo in the month of February last year. The trip was arranged by our school. We reached the zoo in buses. We all were full of excitement to see various birds and animals at one place. As we entered it, we saw so many birds of different species. They looked very beautiful. I had never seen some of them. We also saw wild animals in separate habitats prepared by the zoo authorities. Some of these wild animals were: jackals, wolves, monkeys, , elephants, rhinoceroses, bears, panthers, lions, etc. We also saw small creatures  and small animals like lizards, tortoises, porcupines, mongooses, snakes, etc. All these animals were well looked after and every care for their food, health and comfort was taken into account. The zoo is spread in a vast area of about six kilometers. We took a round in three hours. As we all were tired, our teachers advised us to sit in a lawn and have some snacks and cold drinks. After relaxing for half an hour, we came out of the zoo, sat in our buses and reached home at night. It was really a great experience of all.
