Article Writing Solved Examples With Answers for Class 10 CBSE

Question 1. You are Arpita/Ashwin. You came across the following extract in a magazine article.

A recently’ released report cautions the world that if urgent action is not taken to fortify and supplement our food with proper exercise, we will become a nation of under-achievers. It says we suffer from shocking vitamin and mineral deficiencies. Our sedentary life also leads to obesity and diseases like diabetes, heart problems, etc.

After reading this article you realized that awareness has to be created among people on the need for health care and the consequences of a sedentary life. Taking ideas from the unit Health and Medicine, along with your own ideas, write an article in 120 words.

Question 2. Write an article on ‘Importance of Morning Walk.’ You are Amit/Anita. Use the following clues:

Importance of Morning Walk By Amit

Morning walk is of great importance in our daily life. Due to it we tend to get up early in the morning put on our sports shoes and shorts and go to a nearby park. We are able to breathe in the fresh morning air which is refreshing, cool and invigorating. We can feel our pulse going up, blood rushing through our body after a brisk morning walk. The walk energises our body for the day. We start feeling hungry at breakfast time. It has been observed that people who go for a morning walk have been found to be good at their studies; their retention abilities are better than those who do not go for a morning walk. They also stay active throughout the day.

Colour Therapy by Shruti Class X

Colours add joy to everyone’s life. When infused properly into our lives they can enhance our qualities. Let us see what properties each colour possesses. Green is responsible for creating balance and harmony in life. It represents love and communication and acceptance since it’s nature’s colour. The shades between blue and indigo stand for calmness, peace, love, honesty, kindness, emotional depth, truth and devotion.

Red can increase physical vitality and stamina. Orange stimulates creativity, productivity, pleasure, optimism, enthusiasm and emotional expression. Yellow is said to increase fun and humour. Violet stimulates intuition and imagination. So let us bring colour in our lives and reap its benefits. We all have our favourite colours and now that we know what characteristic they stand for we can hope to inculcate those qualities in our life.

Question 4. You are Raghav/Ragini. Write an article on the importance of breakfast as a healthy food habit. Answer:

Importance of Breakfast by Ragini

A good, healthy, nutritious breakfast really sets you going for whatever challenges you may face the rest of the day. Some people hold jobs where they do not get time for even a quick bite but are not plagued by hunger pangs if they have had a hearty and wholesome breakfast. We Indians tend to indulge in three meals per day and most of us lead sedentary lifestyles. This makes us overweight, lethargic and less energetic.

A glass of juice, a toast, a couple of boiled eggs and may be tea or coffee will go a long way in sustaining us for the rest of the day. A heavy meal only makes one drowsy and one cannot concentrate on anything. Starting your day with a good breakfast is one of the best health decisions you can make. If you miss breakfast you could end up having more calories in your body. That is unhealthy for everyone, especially growing children.

Question 5. In monsoon season, outbreak of malaria and dengue is quite common. Write an article on the topic “The Killer Disease – ‘Dengue’. You are Srishti/Siraj. Answer:

The Killer Disease – Dengue by Siraj

Dengue is one of the most deadly diseases found in India. It is a fatal disease and can cause an epidemic. This fever spreads due to the mosquitoes. Mosquitoes breed in stagnant water are the main cause of Dengue. Dengue generally begins with a feeling of weakness. If a person is down with dengue he should immediately contact a doctor so that the fever can be prevented from spreading. If it is not treated properly and at the right time it can even prove to be fatal. We can prevent the outbreak of dengue by taking some measures.

Water in the coolers should not be allowed to stagnate for long and must be changed regularly. Clothes should be worn such that they cover the arms and legs. Insecticides should be sprayed regularly. Mosquito repellents and nets can be used at night to prevent mosquito bites. Healthy food should be taken in order to improve the resistance and immunity of the body. Prevention is better than cure.

Question 6. Ministry of Surface Transport and Delhi Police are together organizing writing competition on the topic “Need for Road Safety” as part of their “Road Safety Week” celebrations. Write an article on it. You are Kamal/Karuna. Answer:

Need for Road Safety by Karuna

More and more vehicles hit roads every day making the roads virtually death traps. Delhi has recorded an average of 42 road mishaps. Ill–planned, narrow and encroached upon roads and blatant violation of rules have made the situation worse. Statistics show that 70% of all road accidents occur due to human errors. Modern lifestyle which entails mad rush and craze for outdoing others is no less responsible for the tragedy on the roads.

Lane sense is alien to the drivers and road signs are mere decoration. Jumping red light is an act of heroism for most of them. The need of the hour is an efficient traffic management. Encroached upon roads must be reclaimed; road signs must be made accurate and reinstalled where no signs exist. A sustained public awareness about the rules of the road and strict implementation of law can effectively ensure road safety.

Cricket: A Religion in Our Country by Ashwin Class X

Cricket is the most popular game in our country. It is played in every nook and cranny of the country. A victory for India is celebrated with much aplomb and a defeat is mourned by the country, the cricketing champions are worshipped as gods in the country. The obsession with cricket in India can be sensed by the recent World Cup win by India. The celebrations were carried on for days and days.

Thousands of Indians prayed that India would emerge as victorious in the match and when India did win the cup, people everywhere in the country burst crackers and distributed sweets. The players were showered with love and adulation. Our country may be divided into classes, castes and religions but it is the love for cricket that unifies the entire country and hence cricket can be described as a religion itself.

Question 8. See the picture and verbal inputs given below and write an article on “Save the Tiger”. You are Ravi/ Ruchi.

Save Tigers by Ravi

Tigers face the danger of extinction as their population has drastically decreased from 40,000 to just 4000 or may be less than that. The cause of such a big decline is inexorable poaching and clearing of habitat for agriculture. The biggest threat to tigers in India is depletion of their chief prey like deer, wild pigs and wild cattle. As a result, although about 300,000 square kilometres of tiger habitat still remains, much of it is empty of tigers because there is not enough food for them to survive and breed successfully. According to Dr K. Ullas Karanth, if protected and given sufficient access to abundant prey, tiger population can quickly stabilise. With India’s large network of protected areas and continued funding from conservation groups like the Wildlife Conservation Society, the findings provide hope that tigers can survive extinction in the wild. So there is hope for our tigers.

Question 9. Write an article on the topic “Beggars are a Great Nuisance”. You are Rachna/Rachit. Answer:

Beggars are a Great Nuisance by Rachit

Almsgiving is considered as a religious act in our country. Our saints and gurus survived on Bhiksha, i.e. Alms. But that was a different tradition sanctioned by the religion. Now it has become a profession and in some cases a crime where abducted children are forced to beg. Some rogues cripple small kids and force them to beg from morning till evening and then snatch all their money. Most of these beggars are able-bodied men and women who can work if they want to, but rather they go for easy money by opting for begging. They like to live an idle life and depend on charity from other people.

These beggars present a very unfortunate and shabby picture of the country. They escort the foreigners asking for money and at times even snatch their bags and belongings and humiliate the country. We should all help the poor people but should make sure not to help those who bring shame to the country.

Problem of Stray Animals by XYZ

Animals have an equal right to live on the earth as the humans But many of us treat them deplorably. In the metros, we do find people kindly treating animals but many find them a nuisance to the society and often the stray animals are pelted with stones to death. Stray animals, no doubt, create a great problem to pedestrians as well as bikers and other vehicle drivers. In fact, we often hear the news of an innocent child or a senior citizen being killed by these stray animals.

There must be a way out to tackle this problem. A great number of organisations like the PETA have come up to help the animals, yet many more such initiatives are required to protect them. Animal shelter homes must be built to keep them. Owner of some animals should be fined if they let their animals roam here and there.

Excessive Use of Mobile by XYZ

Mobiles have broken distance barriers where communication is concerned. Both rural and urban dwellers use mobile phones. Though mobiles have made communication easier yet they have become a cause for concern as the youth of the country are obsessed with the gadget. They are found mostly fiddling with their phones, lost in the games, listening to music, sending across messages.

The gadget, though small, has multiple uses keeping the youth engaged and unmindful of the duties he has to attend to. Excess of anything is bad, hence too much of communication also is dangerous as it leaves no room for privacy and personal space thereby disturbing mental peace. Mobile, when used in limits, is a boon to the society. Parents must make their children aware regarding using the mobiles sensibly.

Question 12. Weekly markets in the residential areas are popular. Local people prefer to visit and buy things at such places because they get them at cheaper rates. Write an article on ‘Weekly Market. Answer:

Weekly Market by Robin

Prices touch the sky every day in this age, thus weekly market with its cheap rates holds a major appeal among the people of a locality. These weekly markets have a special place in the hearts of the local people because they are not only a welcome relief from increasing prices and an opportunity to save some money but also a place where they might run into their acquaintances and exchange greetings.

Moreover, the local people have been the residents of the locality since long and share an excellent rapport with the vendors. The weekly market also wears a festive air with its glimmering lamps and bustling crowds. It is a place where a person can find all the things of daily use at reasonable price.

Save Water by ABC

Problem of water scarcity is aggravating day by day. People can feel shortage of water all over the country. If certain measures are not taken to stop this situation, there can be dire consequences. Groundwater level is getting lower and lower as rainwater is not seeping into the earth due to concretization. Water is also getting polluted. People are misusing the water. It’s time to act wisely and conserve water. Traditional methods of conservation of water must be revived. Public should be made aware of the need to save water–a precious resource. Rainwater harvesting is a good idea to recharge the groundwater. Remember, water is life.

Question 14. Internet is a computer–based global information system. The modern day internet, better known as *the “Worldwide Web” has completed two decades of existence. It has brought new opportunities to government, business and education. Write an article on uses of ‘Internet. Answer:

Internet by Sohan

Internet has revolutionised communication. It has taken communication to new levels and has affected every aspect of human life. It has broken barriers between countries, communities and castes. People share their important life events with the entire world through several social networking sites, revolutions get stirred up via this medium. Funds are raised when disaster strikes up in one part of the world from the other parts of the world.

People have come closer through the internet. New businesses have cropped due to internet and people are more aware of new developments around the world. Many sites offer you to create your portfolio and let your talent exposed to a number of recruiters. But the most important blessing of the internet is that it has given an easy access to knowledge to one and all. So, careful and judicious use of internet can be advantageous in many ways, but at the same time getting addicted to it may prove harmful too.

Question 15. Air pollution means mixing of harmful gases in air. It is caused by the smoke emitted from factories, vehicles, burning of coal or wood for fuel. It is harmful to human beings, animals and plants. Write an article on harmful effects of pollution. Answer:

Air Pollution by Ramit

Air pollution is the pollution of the gaseous layer that surrounds the earth (atmosphere). It is mostly caused by carbon emissions from burning of fuel from cars, plastic, industrial smoke, etc. thereby causing us to fall sick. Air pollution is a big threat to mankind as it has led to the depletion in ozone layer which is responsible for locking the oxygen in the earth and saving the earth from harmful ultraviolet rays of the sun.

Air pollution needs to be fought against as it might lead to the extinction of life on the earth. It can be prevented by controlling the carbon emissions by vehicles and preventing the harmful industrial smoke from mingling into the air. If we want our future generations to be able to breathe in fresh air, we must take some concrete steps.

Glaring Disparities in Food Consumption by Bhumi/Badal

There is a widespread inequality in India. On one hand, we see malnourished children and on the other hand, we see an obese child suffering from overconsumption. Both are suffering, one due to lack of food and the other due to excess consumption of food. One may not live at all and the other will lead a life replete with numerous health problems.

These images bring to mind the difference in the income level of the people in the country, which makes us question further whether there is justice in our economic system. It also teaches us the necessity of not wasting food, as we have no right to throw away the food when many are dying of hunger. If each one of us does our little we might not have any malnourished children in the country.

Question 17. You are Anita/Anant of class X. Draft an article on the ‘Significance of Leisure in Your Life’. Take help from the following clues.

Significance of Leisure in Our Life by Anita/Anant

Leisure relieves us of stress and gives us the strength to pursue hectic life. Some people spend their leisure time with their family, while others prefer to play a sport or watch a movie. Without leisure we wouldn’t be able to carry on with life. We need leisure to develop our interests and enhance our creativity. Rest helps relaxing and regenerating our body whereas happily spent leisure doing activity of one’s interest rejuvenates the mind and body. But the sad reality is that leisure has become a luxury.

In today’s age, very few of us can afford it. The demands of our career and profession prevent us from indulging in leisure. According to a few studies conducted, the people who possess a healthy life are more productive and hence are better equipped to deal with the problems of life. Remember all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. So we all should make it a point to take out time for ourselves.

Question 18. You are Vidya/Vijay of class X. Organic farming is a revolution in agriculture and is also a need of the time. Read the following hints and draft an article on ‘Organic farming’.

Organic Farming by Vidya/Vijay

When we say organic farming we mean farming with only the use of natural substances. This means that it doesn’t involve any chemical or synthetic fertilisers or hybrid fruits and vegetables. As we all know that the artificial growth boosters have an adverse effect on health and cause many diseases, organic farming is a healthy option. They can also be grown in one’s backyard areas. India is an overpopulated country and caters to the needs of the huge population the farmers have to use artificial substances. So organic farming on a large scale is out of question for India. But it is said, ‘little drops make an ocean’, so we should all do our bit and try and grow our own vegetables in whatever quantities we can.

Question 19. You are Rakesh/Reena of Class X. You have read somewhere that positive self–concept is necessary for self–development and a smooth life. We should accept ourselves as we are. Read the following hints and draft an article on ‘Self–acceptance’.

Self–acceptance by Rakesh/Reena

People come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. Their beauty comes from the fact that they are different and not uniform. We should have the same thinking when we judge ourselves. We do not gracefully accept what we perceive to be flaws in ourselves. As a result, we have a very low self–esteem and low self–confidence. We try to see the good qualities in others and understand that everyone is not perfect.

Why can’t we be of that kind to ourselves also? Why do we have to make ourselves unhappy about not being perfect when we really don’t expect others to be perfect? The key to joy is self–acceptance. It is a path to a life full of joy. Self–love is after all the best form of love.

Question 20. You are Radha/Ravi of class X. Write an article on, “God Helps Those Who Help Themselves’. Some hints are given below for your help.

God Helps Those Who Help Themselves by Radha/Ravi

Self–help is the best form of help. When we do our own work instead of depending upon others, we align ourselves to receiving divine help. Our foremost responsibility as God’s creation is to do our best in whatever we strive to do. Only then God lends a helping hand. But if we choose to be lazy, God will not help us in anyway because He has given us the ability to help ourselves.

If we observe we will see that the most successful men are the ones who are the most hardworking as well. They toiled hard to fulfil their ambitions and God paved the way for their success. Thus, we know success awaits those who work hard. Thus, let us all work hard and let God make success stories of our life.

Importance of Games by ABC

Games are a vital part of life, apart from being a source of recreation; they also help us keep physically fit. Medical researchers say that many muscles, which are not normally used by the body, become active when indulged in games like Tennis, Badminton, Squash, and Cricket, etc. Games aren’t simply restricted to outdoor games. There are plenty of indoor games which help in developing one’s mental faculties. We also have computer games which keep the kids engrossed. There are also online games, which have bound a great number of people. Thus, we, the kids, are faced with choice, be it indoor or outdoor.

Question 22. Absenteeism is a major threat to quality education. If a student is not regular in his school, his all round development is not possible. Draft an article on the topic “Absenteeism is the major cause of falling standards in education”. Answer:

Absenteeism by XYZ

Absenteeism is a major threat to quality education. It has been a grave concern over the years. Regular attendance in school is a crucial factor affecting a child’s ability to learn and grow. It is the foundation for further academic and social development. This is why absenteeism in school needs to be addressed from the very beginning.

Students who miss school fall behind their peers in the classroom. This, in turn, leads to low self esteem. Most of the students who are unable to cope with it drop out of school. Absenteeism is a common problem in Indian schools. The causes of absenteeism are many such as health problems, ignorance of parents, school phobia, anxiety, fear of bullying by senior students, etc. There is an urgent need of considering the problem of absenteeism holistically in order to find out its reasons and come up with a solution since education shapes the future of the students as well as the country.

Question 23. You are Shampa/Sam from High Valley School. Write an article in 100–120 words on the topic “Tobbaco Chewing Should be Banned’ for your school magazine. Answer:

Tobacco Chewing Should be Banned by Shampa

Chewing of tobacco causes mouth and throat cancer. Nicotine is a poisonous substance in tobacco. Already the society is battling with several diseases due to unhealthy lifestyle we lead. If we consume a certain product which threatens our lives and adds nothing to it then it is very apt that it should be banned.

We have been taught that our body is a temple, then why allow such hazardous substances into it? People pick bad habits from one another, thus we should stop the spread of bad habits like chewing of tobacco among the people and protect ourselves from dying painfully. It is a burden on our pockets also. Quitting tobacco is the way to good health.

TV–A Nuisance or Blessing by XYZ

With the advent of satellite television, there are a multiple number of channels showing a wide variety of TV shows portraying violence, crime, treachery, alcoholism and western lifestyle which is not a suitable content for the Indian children. There have been many cases where children have aped the behaviour of their onscreen heroes and fallen into life threatening situations. Moreover, most of television contents is tailor–made for adults and is not fit for viewing of children.

Children have developed the bad habit of viewing TV for hours at a stretch thus harming their eyes and wasting time that could be better utilised in other ways. On the other hand there are experts who feel that if TV viewing is regulated it can be of great help. It gives one a chance to know about what is happening in the world. It enhances our knowledge about day to day happenings.

Internet Addiction is Not Good for Health by Rani

Internet addiction is described as an impulse control disorder, which does not involve use of any intoxicating drug and is very similar to a mental health disorder. We all know that addiction of any kind is bad for one’s health. Internet gives us an easy access to many questions which can be answered by the push of a button or typing of some letters but the younger generation is just spoiling their eyesight sitting bent over computer, laptop or I–pad the whole day.

Outdoor activities have almost become nil and people are not ready to use their brains any longer when they can easily get their answers from the net. I strongly feel that this is a serious problem that should be acknowledged by the person addicted to it and he or she must immediately seek help.

Impact of Development on Life in Cities by ABC

Sky rise buildings, sprawling malls, broad roads and fancy parks are the marks of development in big cities. But the development has also cost cities their safety as recent reports have shown the rise of crime in the bigger cities. It has also become less peaceful owing to the hectic lifestyle of the city dwellers.

Also traffic hassles and high pollution level make life in big cities problematic. When natural disasters occur, the big cities are the worst affected as the high buildings, flyovers and other constructions crumble causing destruction of life and property on a large scale. Development has indeed made life unsafe and inconvenient.

Question 27. It is found that most of the students are pleased with grading system introduced by the CBSE for IX & X classes. But some are not in favour of it. They think that this system will not encourage them to work hard to get full marks as there is no competition left behind. Moreover, teachers may favour particular students. Write an article on the topic “Grading System is a Good System of Evaluation’. Answer:

Grading System by ABC

Grading system is a good system of evaluation because the emphasis is not on marks in the system but against the marking system whereby the student is pressurised to attain 90–98%. The system takes off pressure from the student as he doesn’t have to aim at attaining certain marks. The system may be said to be very lenient but in reality it classes students into brackets of achievement thus making it easier for teachers to deal with the student in accordance with the level of his ability.

We all have heard of students who haven’t made it to their favourite courses or colleges due to shortage of a single mark or two. Thus, the grading system eliminates the risk of such a situation.

UP Board Solutions for Class 10 English Grammar Mode of Creative Writing

UP Board Solutions for Class 10 English Grammar Mode of Creative Writing are part of UP Board Solutions for Class 10 English . Here we have given UP Board Solutions for Class 10 English Grammar Mode of Creative Writing.

Section-C ‘Mode of Creative Writing’ सृजनात्मक लेखन शैली

Introduction Creative writing से हमारा अभिप्राय उन सब attempts से है जिनका purpose साधारण रूप से information के convey ही नहीं करना होता बल्कि विचारों, अनुभूतियों एवं भावनाओं को express करना होता है।

वास्तव में, “Creative writing is the process of inventing (UPBoardSolutions.com) or rather presenting your thoughts in an appealing way.” लेखक critically सोचता है और कुछ ज्ञान को किसी different और original shape में ढालता है।

Objectives प्रत्येक writing का एक purpose होता है और यह reader को ध्यान में रखकर की जाती है। इसे एक clear beginning, middle और एक end के क्रम में लिखा जाता है। उचित vocabulary का चयन, language व style का भली प्रकार से use किया जाता है।

Key Points of Creative Writing Creative writing को अच्छी प्रकार से समझने के लिए निम्न Key Points को जानना चाहिए

‘Essay Writing’

The word essay’ का अर्थ है, “to make an attempt.” इसलिए essay एक attempt (प्रयास) या try है जो विद्यार्थियों द्वारा एक विषय पर सरल और सही शब्दों में क्रमबद्ध अपने विचारों की अभिव्यक्ति की दृष्टि से किया जाता है।

Essay writing एक art है जिसकी सहायता से लेखक क्रमबद्ध ढंग से (UPBoardSolutions.com) लिखकर अपने विचारों की अभिव्यक्ति मौलिक रूप में कर सकते हैं। परीक्षा में अच्छे अंक प्राप्त करने के लिए विद्यार्थियों में इस कला का विकास होना आवश्यक है।

Main Elements of Essay Writing Essay writing के दो आवश्यक तत्त्व thought (विचार) और language (भाषा) हैं। Essay writing को प्रारम्भ करने वाले को दोनों ही चीजों में कठिनाई आती है। जब एक विषय पर उसे Essay लिखने के लिए कहा जाता है तो वह हक्का-बक्का रह जाती है और विषय पर उसे कोई thoughts नहीं आते। साथ ही उसका शब्द-ज्ञान इतना सीमित होता है कि वह अपने विचारों और भावों को व्यक्त नहीं कर सकता।

Classification of Essays Essays को मुख्य चार श्रेणियों में बाँटा जा सकता है-

How to Write an Essay Examination essays, ordinary essays से भिन्न होते हैं। पहले प्रकार के essay समय की कमी और भावनात्मक दबाव में लिखे जाते हैं। किन्तु दोनों ही स्थितियों में लिखने वाले को दिए गए essay की outline (रूपरेखा) तैयार करनी होती है और essay को उचित प्रकार से लिखने से पहले outline को revise करना होता है।

Reading : विषय से सम्बन्धित जानकारी के अभाव में एक good essay लिखना कठिन होता है। विषय से सम्बन्धित जानकारी अधिकाधिक reading से मिलती हैं। इसलिए विद्यार्थियों को चाहिए कि वे अच्छी पुस्तकों व समाचार पत्रों को पढ़े और स्वयं को mentally alert और well equipped रखें। Bacon said, “ Reading maketh a full man”.

इसलिए यदि आप अच्छा essay लिखना चाहते हैं तो आपको reading की आदत डालनी चाहिए। Reading का अर्थ केवल stories books पढ़ना ही नहीं है अपितु history, travel, biography और science की अच्छी पुस्तकें पढ़ना भी है। ऐसा करने से आप एक ‘Fullman’ बन जाते हो और एक ‘Fullman’ के पास अधिकतर विषयों पर कहने के लिए बहुत कुछ होता है।

Observation : समस्त ज्ञान केवल books को पढ़ने से ही नहीं मिलता। हम अपने चारों ओर के जीवन से भी बहुत कुछ सीख सकते हैं। इसके लिए हमें अपनी आँखों और कानों को खुला रखना चाहिए और स्वयं के अनुभव से सीखना चाहिए।

Conversation : Books को men and women लिखते हैं और यदि हम उनके लिखे से सीख सकते हैं तो हम उनके कहे से भी बहुत कुछ सीख सकते हैं। हमें लोगों के वार्तालाप को सुनना चहिए और उनकी जानकारी के विषय पर उनसे बातचीत करनी चाहिए। अपने मित्रों के साथ अपनी पसन्द के विषयों पर बातचीत करनी चाहिए। इस प्रकार से भी आप बहुत कुछ सीख सकते हैं। लेखक पढ़कर, निरीक्षण कर व.लोगों से बातचीत करके अपने मस्तिष्क को विचारों और ज्ञान से समृद्ध करता है।

Parts of an Essay हमें एक essay को तीन parts में divide कर सकते हैं-The Introduction, the Body of the Essay, and the Conclusion.

Some Practical Hints for Essay Writing

Note : Introduction, body व conclusion ये तीनों केवल guide points हैं। इन्हें अपने essay में लिखना अनिवार्य नहीं है। विद्यार्थियों के अवलोकनार्थ सभी प्रकार के essay के specimen नीचे दिए जा रहे हैं।

1.Specimen of a Narrative Essay: ‘A Street Quarrel’

It was Sunday afternoon. I was reading a novel of Munshi Prem Chand. I was completely lost in reading the novel. All of a sudden, shouting’s and wailing’s started in the neighhourbood, and people came running out of their houses.

I jumped up from my chair, placed the book aside and went out.At first I could not make out as to what had actually happened. Many men and women of our neighborhood were trying to talk at one and the same time. At last I pulled aside a neighbor and asked him the cause of this turmoil.He told me that two of our neighbors Kishore and Sunder had come to blows. (UPBoardSolutions.com) The trouble had started with children. A dozen of them were playing cricket in the street. There was an argument between the children. One of them beat up the other. The beaten child went weeping to his mother who stormed into the house of aggressor. Their husbands also joined the fray. Kishore had his nose broken while Sunder’s wife lost two teeth. In the free-for-all two neighbors also got hurt. The crowd watched the fight without trying to intervene.

As soon as the police arrived at the scene, the crowd melted away. Nobody was prepared to tell the whole story to the police. I had to volunteer myself to tell the facts to the best of my knowledge.

The police arrested four persons for disturbing the peace. They were marched to the police station and locked up for the night. The peace talks started as soon as the police went away. By next noon the arrested persons were back home shaking hands and promising to be good neighbor once again.

2. Specimen of a Descriptive Essay: An Indian Farmer

Farming is one of oldest professions in India. Farmers, even today, are about sixty per cent of the total population of our country. They are the back-bone of nation. They not only provide food for the people but also send their children to army to defend our borders against foreign aggression.

The Indian farmer has not, however changed much with the change of times. Except the big and well-to-do farmers, the average farmer continues to use old methods and implements of farming. The same types of plough or pair of oxen, used two thousand years ago, continue to be in use today. Tractors, tube wells, and fertilizers are used only by a very few farmers—not exceeding twenty five per cent in any case. As a result poverty continues, and we are not able to feed the total population when the monsoon fails. We have to import food grains worth crores.

The life of an Indian farmer continues to be hard. He rises early. He works on the field in extreme heat and cold. There is hardly any change of routine in his life. Nor is there any change possible in the near future. Among the more well to do, however, some change for the better is noticeable. By mechanizing farming they have reduced human labor. The average (UPBoardSolutions.com) yield has increased and that means more wealth. Wealth has succeeded in raising the political and social status of the farmers. Their standard of living has risen. Their children are now much better fed, clothed and educated.

3. A Specimen of Reflective Essay: Patriotism

Patriotism means the love for one’s own country. The love for one’s country is higher than all other types of love. A patriot commands for greater respect than a man having wealth of power. There is no selfishness in his love. He is always ready to sacrifice everything for his country.

Patriots occupy a very high place in the history of a nation. Their lives and achievements make a nation strong. They inspire the coming generations too. Men like Robert Bruce, Garibaldi, Gandhi ji, Nehru, Patel and Subhash are known all over the world. They are honored and respected by all.

How should we honor our patriots? They cannot be truly honored by building memorials and delivering lectures alone. The correct way is to understand their teaching and follow them earnestly in our lives. The interest of the country should be placed above every other interest.

It is not wealth that makes a country great. Patriotism of her citizens alone can determine her fate. This world has seen many big empires like the Chinese, the Persian, the Mauriyan and the British. These have risen and (UPBoardSolutions.com) fallen. These nations rose when selfishness replaced patriotism. We Indians should, therefore, keep this flame of patriotism burning brightly in our hearts.

4. A Specimen of Imaginative Essays: If I were the Prime Minister of India

My heart aches when I see the conditions in India, Poverty, disease, corruption, ignorance surround our people. Even after sixty five years of freedom we are still in much the same condition. I do not know what I do. I am pained by all these things. Being a child I do not as yet know the solutions of our many problems. I feel that the government of a country can do a lot to improve the lot of its people. So I want to be at the head of the government. I wish I were the Prime Minister of India! What would I do then?

The job of a Prime Minister is really tough. I would, therefore rise above the narrow bonds of self-interest. I would adhere to certain principles in my planning. There would be little scope for corruption, favoritism and nepotism. I would work for the country rather than for any party. The basic problem of our country is our dependence on other nations even (UPBoardSolutions.com) for essential commodities. The first thing that I would therefore do will be to increase production and arrange for proper distribution of essential things. The production, it is generally believed, these days increases, not on the farms or in the factories but on the paper alone. We bring revolutions sometimes green, sometimes white, but they are no better than dreams. They vanish at the first touch of reality.

I shall do my best to restore merit to its proper place. If the evils of bribery and black market are eradicated most of the problems will be automatically solved but I believe that heavy punishments to law breakers are still the need of the hour. Lethargy is our national weakness. Our people, young and old, do not want to work. They only want to enjoy holidays. They have forgotten the golden maxim ‘work is worship’. I shall take steps to ensure that everybody does his due share of work. Work will be provided for the unemployed. Promotions and awards will be based on individual merit without any fear or favor. For this purpose, only honest and devoted workers will be given the key posts.

Lastly the present system of education will be overhauled. Education will be made more practical and more related to jobs than now. ‘It will be linked with practical life. My approach to all problems will be practical. I pray to God to grant me my wish!

‘Story Writing’

Story Writing सभी साहित्यिक रचनाओं में से सबसे पुराना है। यहाँ तक की जब मानव गुफाओं में रहता था तो उसने अवश्य ही लम्बी सर्दियों की रातें बिताने के लिए अपने बच्चों और औरतों को stories सुनाई होगी।

बाद में जब सभ्यता का विकास हुआ तो कहानियों को एक moral को उजागर करने अथवा एक रूचिकर घटना अथवा अनुभव को बताने के लिए लिखा जाने लगा। पंचतन्त्र की कहानियाँ ऐसी कहानियों के उदाहरण हैं जो जीवन के मौलिक अनुभवों पर आधारित हैं और जिनमें बुद्धि और व्यवहारिक कुशाग्रता का समावेश है। कहानी को प्रभावशाली बनाने के लिए निम्न सुझावों को ध्यान में रखना आवश्यक है–

उपरोक्त बातों को ध्यान में रखकर आप एक अच्छी कहानी लिख सकते हैं। विद्यार्थियों के अवलोकनार्थ कुछ कहानियों की Outlines को उनके develop रूप में नीचे दिया जा रहा है (1) Outline : A lion lies sleeping in a forest—a mouse run across his body—the lion catches it in his paw—the mouse prays for life—the lion spares it—later the lion is caught in a hunter net—the mouse nibbles at the net and the lion escapes.

(Complete Story)

The Lion and the Mouse

Once a lion was sleeping in a thick forest. Nearby there was a small hole where a mouse lived. He was a naughty but gentle mouse. It came out of the hole and began to move softly round the sleeping lion. Suddenly it went up the sleeping lion. It started running on his back and head.

The lion woke up with a stare and got angry. He caught it in his paw. He threatened to kill it, he said, “You idiot : you’ll pay for it with your life.” The mouse trembled in fear. It humbly said, “Sir, I am only an humble (UPBoardSolutions.com) mouse. If you kill me, it well do you no good. If you spare my life, I may be of some help to you some day. Please forgive me, sir.” The lion laughed at his words. He let it go.

Many months passed. A hunter came to the forest. He cast a strong net. The lion was caught in the net. He roared again, and again, but could not get out of the net.

The mouse heard the lion’s roar. It came running out of its hole. Silently it began to cut the ropes. It freed the lion very soon. He patted the humble mouse in gratefulness, and went away to the dark forest.

Moral : Do good, have god. (2) Outline : Robert Bruce, King of Scotland—defeated again and again—the English win–the king is sad and gloomy inside a cave—sees a spider climbing each time it reaches near the roof, it falls down—tries again and again-gets success—the king learns a lesson-tries and wins.

King Bruce and the Spider

Many centuries ago there lived a king in Scotland. He was noble and full of love for his country. He wanted to free Scotland from the yoke of England. England and Scotland were, therefore, constantly at war.

Robert Bruce gathered a big army and fought against the English six times. But every time he was defeated by the English army. He had a narrow escape. His sixth defeat broke his heart. He hid himself in a dark and deep cave. (UPBoardSolutions.com) Even the sun’s rays could not reach there. He decided never to fight again. He wished to spend the rest of his days in the dark cave.

One day, the king was sadly pondering over his defeats. His eyes fell upon a spider. It was trying to reach the high ceiling. It fell down to the floor. After a short while it tried again. But it fell down once again. Every time it fell, it started climbing all over again. It tried seven times. King Bruce watched the spider with keen eyes. The spider made the last attempt to reach its goal. And this time it was successful. The king felt ashamed of himself. He rose with a new determination. The spider had taught him a lesson “Never say die”, but “Try, try again”. He gathered a large army once again. He gave a good beating to the English this time. He freed his country at last.

Moral : “Try, try, again and win.” (3) Outline : Dispute between the Sun and the wind who is stronger? Wind blows traveler clasps his coat tighter–sun shines-traveler takes off coat-conclusion.

The Sun and the Wind

Once a dispute arose between the Sun and the wind. The Sun said, “I am the king of the sky, I melt the snow on the hills. I dry up the rivers. I bring rain to the thirsty earth.” The wind laughed loudly and replied, “I am far stronger than you are. I uproot trees. I can destroy big buildings in the twinkling of an eye.” When they were quarreling, a lonely person was walking slowly on a road. He had a thick woolen coat on. The sun smiled and said to the wind, “Let us try our strength on-this man. Whosoever makes (UPBoardSolutions.com) him take off his coat, will be the winner. You can try your strength on him first.” The wind agreed at once. It attacked the man with its full strength. The man closed his coat still tighter. When the wind blew faster, the man sat down under a rock. The wind failed in its attempt.

Now the Sun came gently out of the clouds. The traveler got up and started walking. The Sun became brighter and warmer. The traveler felt hot. He took off his coat and put it on his shoulder. The Sun thus won the dispute.

Moral : “Gentleness is more powerful than Force.” (4) Outline : A slave runs from a cruel master-meets a lion in a forest-pulls out a thorn from its paw-the slave is caught–ordered to be thrown before a hungry lion–the lion licks his hands–set free.

The Slave and the Lion

Once there lived a slave in the city of Rome. His master was very cruel. He beat him mercilessly every day. The slave could not bear it and ran away. He knew that if he was caught he would be killed. He preferred death to his master’s cruelty.

When he was passing through the forest he came across a lion. It was rolling on earth in pain and striking its paw on the ground again and again. The slave went up to the lion and took out the thorn. The lion felt a great relief. It licked the hands of the slave and then went away. The servants of the slave’s master caught him after some time. He was taken back to the city of Rome. He was tried in a court. The judge ordered that he should be thrown before a hungry lion.

On the fixed day a crowd of people came out to see the spectacle. The slave was taken to the lion. The lion’s cage was opened. With a loud roar the lion sprang on the slave. It raised its paw to strike him down, but the paw (UPBoardSolutions.com) never struck. The lion went down on its knees. It began to lick the slave’s hands. The crowd was surprised at this. It was the same lion as the slave had helped. The slave was called to explain the mystery. He told the whole story. He was at once set free.

Moral : “Kindness never goes unrewarded.” (5) Outline : An ass carrying salt passes through a stream falls down—salt dissolves—burden becomes lighter— makes it a habit—the master sees through bring load of cotton—lies down in stream burden increases.

The Ass and His Load of Salt

Once there lived a shopkeeper in a village. He had a clever ass. One day he was bringing salt on the donkey. They had to cross a stream on the way. When the ass entered the stream, it fell down and the salt was dissolved in water. When the ass got up, it felt lighter. It was very happy.

The next day the shopkeeper again brought salt. This time the ass fell down knowingly and much of the salt was dissolved in water. The shopkeeper got angry at this: He decided to teach the ass a lesson.

The next day he loaded the ass with cotton. As usual the ass fell down in mid-stream. It had hoped that its burden would be reduced. But to the surprise of the ass, the burden had much increased this time. It could hardly move, but the master beat it with his stick to make it run faster. The ass came to the conclusion that over-cleverness does not always pay.

Moral : “Over-cleverness does not pay.” (6) Outline : A wolf drinking water—a young lamb also drinking water at a lower level of the brook wolf hungry-wants to eat the lamb—accuses him of abusing, of making the water muddy-kills the lamb.

The Wolf and the Lamb

Once there lived a wolf in a forest. It was very clever and bad tempered. It went to a brook to drink water. When it was drinking water, it saw a young lamb also drinking water at a short distance. It wanted to kill the lamb. It said to the young lamb. “You naughty chap, you abused me last year. For this I am going to eat you up now.” The lamb humbly replied, “Sir, I was (UPBoardSolutions.com) not even born last year, I am only eight months old. How could I insult your majesty?” The wolf spoke angrily, “Why are you making the water dirty?” The lamb said humbly, “Sir, the water is flowing from you to me. How can I make the water dirty?” The wolf jumped at the poor lamb saying, “You rascal! You do not know how to behave.” It tore the lamb into pieces and ate it up in no time.

Moral : “Might is right.”

1. Write a letter to the Health Officer of your city, bringing to his notice the insanitary conditions in the city.

221–G.T Road, Karnal. August 18, 2016 To, The Health Officer Municipal Committee, Karnal. Dear Sir, I regret to bring to your notice that the sanitation of our city is deteriorating at an alarming pace. The drains in the streets are uncovered. These are not cleaned and flushed with water daily. The result is that (UPBoardSolutions.com) foul smell is always coming out of these. Flies and mosquitoes are breeding fast. It is not surprising that many people are down with malaria and dysentery. Heaps of refuse are lying near the vegetable market and in the main bazar. The sweepers are nowhere to be seen. The Sanitary Inspector is seen once in a blue moon, and pleads his inability to do anything in the matter. The rainy season has already set in. You are requested to give a shake up to the sanitation department and get things moving. Otherwise we may soon be overtaken by an epidemic. Yours faithfully Ram Prakash.

2. Write a letter to the Editor, The Times of India, New Delhi, bringing to the notice of the authorities the bad lighting and insanitary conditions in your town.

TO, The Editor, The Times of India, New Delhi,

Sir, Kindly allow me to use your columns to ventilate the sufferings and grievances of the public of Khatauli town. For quite a long time the sanitation of this growing town has been in a very bad shape. The drains are uncovered and give out foul smell. There is no regular arrangement for clearing the drains. In some streets the drains are used as public latrines. There are big pools of water on both sides of the road which breed mosquitoes which in turn breed malaria. The lighting along the main road is inadequate and has been the cause of a few serious accidents. In the side-streets there is hardly any lighting worth the name. Requests to the Municipal authorities in this connection (UPBoardSolutions.com) have had no effect. I, therefore, appeal to the Govt. to take notice of these shortcomings before an epidemic breaks out. Yours truly, Om Prakash 51-Delhi Road Khatauli April 1, 2016

Example 1 The men who were governing Athens summoned Socrates to appear before them and to stand his trial. His friends begged him to escape or to hide until the storm had blown over. But Socrates was not coward. He knew that he has done nothing wrong and that he had only taught what he believed to be just, true and honorable, and so he went to the Court. His clothes and shoes were dusty and travel-stained. But everyone knew that a noble heart beat under the shabby garments.

He made a powerful and dignified speech. He told the Athenians that they would gain nothing by taking away the last few years of his life, but that he was willing to die many deaths for what he believed to be right.

Answer the following questions :

Example 2 One of the most remarkable things ever invented is wireless telegraphy, by means of which messages can be sent to all parts of the world without the aid · of wires. The man whom we must thank for this is Guglielmo Marconi. He was born in Italy in 1874, of an Italian father and an Irish mother. Even when he was a boy, Marconi loved to make experiments. One of these was to make a new kind of ink from the juice of some wild berries which grew near his home. At the time when Marconi was a school boy the important discovery was made that space in the universe is filled with a light substance called ether. This is made up of particles, so tiny that it can make its way through all matter, liquid, solid, or gas. When the rays of the sun pass through this ether, waves are created. These waves travel very speedily in every direction, lighting up everything upon which they fall.

Example 3 Man is made up of many qualities, both good and bad, and among the latter is anger. The nature of every human being is such that anything that gives offence to his sentiment, or goes against his principles, excites his anger. The evils which result from anger are many. Under its influence a man loses his power of reasoning and judgement. Not being able to retain control over himself when angry, he does not know what he is doing or saying. Under its influence a man puts off his balance that he forgets his duty towards his superiors and may even go to the extent of saying things which are extremely insulting to them. When anger gets the better of man, he is capable of committing the worst crimes, and there is nothing to be surprised if under its evil influence, he commits murder.

Example 4 Holidays are meant for rest and recreation. The great strain put upon the brain of students by having to remain constantly engaged in studies during several months in the year makes it necessary for the brain to have some rest. This rest is afforded by the vacations. The holidays should, therefore, be utilize in such a manner as to give some rest to the body and mind, for which they are primarily intended. Recreations like walking in open air, rowing and playing some good game should be the daily pursuits. (UPBoardSolutions.com) Paying visits to friends and relatives and thereby having an opportunity to see new places, is another pleasant occupation. Those who can afford, may quite profitably spend their time in visiting places of interest. Travelling broadens the mental outlook and increases knowledge.

Ill Effects on Students of too much of Television By Pratibha

It is strange but true that students nowadays are increasingly getting addicted to television. A vast variety of programmes such as comedy shows, serials, movies, plays, songs, and videos are being telecast through more than five hundred odd channels.

Television sets, cable charges, set-top boxes have become cheaper. Television programmes are beamed through mobile phones too, thereby making them affordable for the students. Students, as a result, have got addicted to television and have started neglecting their studies. Their performance has also started dropping. The result is a drastic drop in the students’ physical and mental health.

This alarming trend indeed calls for remedial action.

3.4.2 In recent years, vegetarianism is becoming increasingly popular. People are turning vegetarian because they believe that the killing of animals is both unnecessary and cruel. They also believe that using available land to raise vegetables and grain instead of cattle and other animals makes good economic and ecological sense. More recently, people have adopted vegetarian diets based on scientific studies showing that diets high in fatty animal foods may contribute to the early occurrence of disease, including coronary artery disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, and cancer. Based on the information given above, your own ideas and tips from the unit Health and Medicine in your Main Course Book, write an article for your school magazine on Vegetarianism in about 120 words.

Q.2. You are Parul/Rahul of Class X. Write an article in 100-150 words on ‘Ill effects on students of too much of television.’ You can use the following clues:

Answer:

Ill Effects on Students of Too Much of Television by Rahul

Due to a great variety of programmes easily available currently on the various television channels, students are getting increasingly addicted to viewing too much television. As a result, they neglect their studies, resulting in a drop in academic performance.

Many students have been known to fail their final examinations by watching every episode of their favourite serials even during exam time. Further, due to this sedentary activity which does not involve any exercise, their physical health is affected adversely. It can cause obesity and inadequate development of the muscles in the body. In addition, their mental development gets limited, as it is well said, “A healthy mind resides in a healthy body”.

So, students should limit their viewing of television programmes to only one or two hours in a day. The balance time should be devoted to games and sports outside the home to ensure proper physical development. Any spare time may be spent in intellectual activities like reading books, playing chess or Scrabble etc.

Q.3. The English language has acquired a privileged position in India. It has caused the neglect of other Indian languages, including Hindi. Is there a need to pause and reflect on the situation? Write an article, in about 100-150 words, expressing your views on the same. Sign yourself as Priyanka.

Is English Surpassing Indian languages? by Priyanka

English and Hindi, are two official languages in India. North Indians are fluent in English, Hindi and other regional languages, whereas South Indians do not speak Hindi language at all but are good in English. The fact that India is a multi-linguistic nation, supports the prominence of English. More than half the country, by virtue of their education, is proficient in English. English language is surpassing Hindi and other languages also because of an inferiority complex influenced by our colonial past.

English has acquired this privileged position because of its contribution in shaping India’s development and changing its fortunes radically.

To calm the nerves of the nation, we should promote the use of our mother tongue rather than putting an end to the primacy of English language in India.

Q.4. You’re Rekha. Look at the picture given below. Taking hints from the visual and adding some of your own ideas, write an article 100-150 words on the theme ‘We Are What We Eat’.

We Are What We Eat by Rekha

It is rightly said that “We Are What We Eat”. Our health is the reflection of our diet and it is believed that a healthy mind exists in a healthy body.

We should take extra care about the food we eat. To stay healthy, we should take extra care about the food we eat. To stay healthy, we should include green vegetables, fresh fruits, fresh milk and home-cooked food in our diet. A glass of warm water with honey and lemon should be consumed early in the morning.

But all this is useless if we continue to eat outside. Fast food should be avoided at every cost as it is the root cause of various health problems and offers no nutritional value. Eating healthy food will make us healthy not only on the inside of our body, but also on the outside.

Q.5. You are Sugandha. Your school has an efficient system of rainwater harvesting. Write an article for your school magazine in about 100-150 words highlighting the advantages of the system using the inputs given below.

Rainwater Harvesting by Sugandha

Water conservation has become an essential and inevitable practice all over the world, even in areas where water is abundant.

Rainwater harvesting is the accumulation and deposition of rainwater on-site for reuse rather than allowing it to run off. With an efficient system, one can be sure of water reserves at times of water shortage. The overall cost of the system is less than a water purifier. It reduces the demand for groundwater, thus reducing the water bills, as the saved water can be used for irrigation, toilet flushing and for other needs. It can also be used as drinking water if adequately treated.

A switch to this eco-friendly system is a step towards a greener and more sensible world.

Q.6. You are Vivek. You feel that practical education easily fits into all aspects of teaching nowadays. Write an article titled ‘Practical Education: A Better Step Towards Learning’, in about 100-150 words expressing how practical education is better than theoretical education using inputs given below.

Practical Education: A Better Step Towards Learning by Vivek

Education is the key to develop a generation of responsible citizens. It is the foundation of a strong intellect. Our primary education has a great impact on our future. Theoretical education is the commonly used way of imparting knowledge in our country. It usually employs teaching in a plain manner without any interactive exercises, whereas, the new practical aspect of imparting education involves inputs from students in interactive sessions. Exercises and experiments are common features of practical education.

Most of the activities involve team projects or programmes where students are required to work in groups or teams, where students are required to work in groups or teams, which introduces them to the industrial qualities of leadership and team spirit as well.

Practically sound students not only have an enhanced ability of grasping things but also have the potential to shape their future in a better way.

Q.7. You are Sonali, member of the School Heritage Club. You are shocked to see poor living conditions of villagers in a remote village in your district. Write an article in about 150 words for a local newspaper discussing the problem and measures that can improve the unhygienic and unhealthy conditions of villages.

The Plight of Villagers by Sonali

Villagers in India are a living story of economic deprivation, places devoid of basic facilities such as in-house toilets, adequate drinking water, dispensaries etc. The lack of these facilities in rural areas poses a threat to the health of India as a whole.

Although access to sanitation in improving, the increase is still not equitable. Also, the health burden due to poor water quality is enormous. Water quality problems are also a result of open defecation due to lack of in-house toilets. The lives of villagers are nothing short of a living hell.

Government policies and programmes have undergone a series of transitions, but modification of these is again the need of the hour. Investment in improving sanitation, awareness campaigns, setting up dispensaries, water quality monitoring and infrastructure review can be drivers towards the path of a healthy India.

Q.8. You are Poonam Negi. With the help of the visual input given below, write an article in about 150 words on the topic ‘Renewable Energy: Promise for the Future’.

Renewable Energy: Promise for the Future by Poonam Negi

Renewable energy is an inexhaustible source of energy, and India has a great potential for generating as well as using this source.

Use of biomass is already prevalent in the villages of India. Hydroelectric power plants and wind power plants producing electricity can diminish the electricity woes of the villages. Solar cookers, heaters and other products can bring down the energy consumption of cities. Moreover, these are environment friendly and have no waste products. These alternate sources of energy can help India save a lot of money spent in foreign exchange to buy petroleum products.

Although India has initiated steps to harness these resources, there is a long way to go for a promising future for the planet.

Q.9. You are Kartik of class X. You have noticed the rise in number of students flying abroad for higher education. Write an article in about 100-150 words expressing your concern over this issue and suggest ways to control it.

Going Abroad for Good Quality Education by Kartik

The status of internationally mobile Indian students is changing. With newer and a wider number of courses being offered abroad, the preferences of students for professional/higher education is changing.

An important reason for many Indians’ choosing to study abroad is lack of good institutions in India. Students turned professionals seek recognition on a global platform and feel the sole way to achieve it is high quality education. Scanning of job opportunities, scope and growth analysis through an eagle eye acts as magnets to our native talent.

India will have an upper hand only when the polished talent shines in the motherland, which is now a rarity. To control this drain of talent, quality educational institutions should be set up in order to restrict the outgo of students. Good quality foreign institutions should be encouraged to set up their institutions in India. Along with this, removal of government constraints like reservations of seats in educational institutions and public companies may also prove to be a good measure to combat the problem.

Q.10. We have travelled the stone age to the age of computers. There has been an explosion of technology in the field of science. Write an article in about 100-150 words on the topic, ‘The Future of Information Technology’. You’re Monika/Mohan.

The Future of Information Technology by Monika

Information technology (IT), in the first instance, beings to us the latest developments in science and technology. With advancement in technology, we can communicate with anyone, anywhere in the world in a matter of a few seconds. Due to IT, we are having very fast and cheap worldwide connectivity. There are more sophisticated machines to help us disseminate knowledge. Cell phones enable us to send or receive messages, listen to songs, watch movies and other videos, do net-surfing, send e-mails, create presentations and do many other things. Computers provide us with all information and act as our brains. The internet has become more expensive and intensive. Nanochips are now introduced in our bodies to monitor and control body functions.

The world can, thus, hope for a truly bright and glorious future for IT. It also holds the key to the solution of our most pressing problems like poverty, ignorance and backwardness

This is a cause of complete concern across the globe today. The global warming has accelerated the rise of temperature on earth which is said to have risen by 40 C. The sea level is also rising. The glaciers are also melting away. There has been very less rainfall in the recent years resulting in the scarcity of food around the world. The death rate due to starvation has increased immensely. We, the human beings are solely responsible for this calamity. We pollute our planet in many ways. Deforestation, industrial pollution, toxic wastes, vehicular pollution and lack of greenery are the chief causes of imbalance in the ecosystem.

The urgent need of the hour is that each one of us takes step to save the planet in every possible way. We should protect our forests, save fuel, plant trees, take care of toxic pollutants, conserve water and change our life style.

Awareness programmes must be launched by the students and NGOs to make people aware of environmental problems. The public should avoid the use of polythene bags. All of us must strive hard to save our beautiful planet for the future generations.

Video games, Internet, Cell Phones and other high-tech gear are just part of growing up in a digital world. But parents are concerned about the amount of time their children spend with these and worry that it might be distracting and cramping academic and social development.

High – Tech Device- Boon or Bane

The present day high-tech gear is just part of growing up in a digital world. Nevertheless one cannot deny that all these gadgets have become a part and parcel of our daily lives. Besides we have become highly dependent on these devices. This is more so in the case of children. Their lives are completely ruled by these devices.

They have also opened innumerable avenues for the growth of knowledge and have given a definite form to the wild imagination of man. They have indeed revolutionised every sphere of life. But on the other hand the excessive interest of children in these gadgets, has made parents concerned and worried. Children spend a great deal of time on these gadgets like video games, internet, cell phones etc the parents feel that excessive use of these gadgets will definitely be destructive for the children. This could also cramp their academic and social development. If children are not checked, they would continue to waste time on these gadgets.

They will recline into their own high-tech shell. Thereupon it will become very difficult for parents to bring them out of this world. If these high- tech devices are used in moderation they can fulfill the purpose for which they have been invented.

Question 1. In today’s age of stress and anxiety, the children need to understand the importance of sleep, meditation and yoga over social networking and the use of the cell phone. Write an article of 120 words on ‘Concentration and Composure’, the need of the hour. You can take hints from the unit ‘Health and Medicine’ of the Main Course Book. (Board Term-12013, Set 5007) (5 marks) Answer: Title: Concentration and Composure, the Need of the Hour Modem time is the time of advancement in all fields which demands an extra effort on the part of everyone. Advancement in science has resulted in developing a new interest in social networking as well as overuse of cell phone by children. They keep awake till late night because of these gadgets which affects their sleep pattern. As a result they don’t feel comfortable in the morning and their alertness and concentration is also affected. This leads to loss of energy also. People should realize the importance of sleep which is a boon to us. Sleep deficiency results in many health related problems like diabetes, obesity, depression also. Hence, the children must be made to understand that they must have proper sleep so as to energise themselves. Meditation and yoga can help them a lot in overcoming sleeplessness. All the body activities will return to their normal self and they will feel refreshed. Yoga and meditation are the best therapies and are an answer to present day lifestyle diseases. These will keep them stress-free which further helps in keeping good health and improves concentration power. Therefore, children must switch over to yoga, meditation to overcome the stress and keep their composure.

Question 2. You are Rekha/Rohit. You have seen the following news item in a newspaper. Video games, Internet, cell phones and other high-tech gear are just part of growing up in a digital world.

(Board Term-12012, Set EC2,040) (5 marks) Answer: Title: High Tech Devices – A Boon or Bane In the fast changing scenario, the high tech devices have flooded the market. All the credit goes to science which helps us in advancing in any field. Modem age is better known as the Science Age. Some people are misusing technology and are not taking advantage of the wonders of science. Today, youngsters can be seen busy with chatting, surfing, playing video-games and what not. These have become a part of growing up in the digital world. But all this is leading our children towards the wrong path. They have got distracted and it has cramped their social as well as academic development. They must realise that these high-tech devices are very useful to us. They have to be made aware that judicious use of these devices benefits us. We can get each and every information about various things which otherwise are unknown to us. It has made the world small and within the reach of a button. Science should be used for the prosperity of people and not as a destructive force.

Question 3. On the occasion of World Health Day, write an article in about 150 words for the school news-letter on the topic, ‘Importance of Physical Health in Our Lives’, using the clues given below. (Board Term-12012, Set EC2,039) (5 marks) Hints:

Answer: Importance of Physical Health in our Lives Healthy mind lives in a healthy body. This is a proverb which everyone must have heard or read. But very few pay attention to it. A study was conducted on obesity and many related diseases were found amongst teenagers. Obesity specifically refers to an excess amount of body fat. This is due to the sedentary lifestyle found between the age of 12-14. These adolescents are generally found sitting and watching T.V. programmes. They do not go outside for any physical game. They are found using public transport to school instead of going by bicycle or walking. Today, children are fond of eating junk food and drinking aerated drinks which contain too much calories and are harmful for growing children. Such children later become prone to many diseases like diabetes, heart diseases, high blood pressure and stroke. It is a health hazard. It is also linked to higher rates of certain types of cancer. Not only this, obesity makes us feel unattractive. The demands of modem times have increased so much that people do not have time for physical activity. They ignore health and face the risk of many diseases.

But it is well said that discipline is the key to resolving these concerns. There are many methods of treatment but the benefits of exercise are much more than any other way of losing weight. Not only does exercise help you to lose weight but it improves your fitness and flexibility and improves skin textures. Exercises are also free from the harmful side effect of crash dieting, slimming capsules and the heat treatment used by slimming centres.

Question 4. Recently there was a news item in Times of India related to RTE where the Supreme Court directed every school, including the private ones to immediately give free education to students of socially and economically backward classes. This Act has no doubt heralded a new era in the country’s formal education. Still you feel, it’s a big challenge for the nation. Based on the input and your ideas gathered from ‘Unit 2-Education’, write an article on ‘New Hope with the Right to Education’ in about 150 words. (Board Term-1,2012 Set EC2,055) (5 marks) Answer: New Hope with the Right to Education (RTE) A new Act – Right to Education was passed by the parliament recently and it has been implemented also. The implementation has ensured education for all children within the age-group of 4-14 years. It has heralded a new era in the country’s formal education. Everyone knows that a country with illiterate citizens can’t reap the benefits of progress. Everything including the economy can get crippled by poverty, unemployment and exploitation which are the so called fruits of illiteracy. All the citizens of India should join hands to make this Act a success. The foremost thing to be done is the discouraging of child-labour. We must ensure that all children go to school and not work in any field-domestic or industrial. Even the girl child has a right to get educated and we must ensure literacy for the girl child also. This Act has definitely enlightened a new hope of a progressive and literate India which is a dream of every Indian.

Question 5. You are Keerti/Kunal. Write an article in about 150 words on the importance of afforestation and maintaining a green cover in the country to prevent pollution and global warming. (5 marks) Answer: Importance of Afforestation Forests are a gift of nature to mankind. Since ancient times man has been dependent on forests for wood, fuel, food, etc. But these days man has started cutting trees for his selfish purposes. He has become apathetic towards them. The time has come when tree plantation has become one of the major issues that we should not only be aware of but also practise at an individual level. Considering the numerous advantages of trees and plants to the environment it becomes imperative for us to preserve greenery which is vital for sustaining the ecological balance on our planet. The importance of tree plantation dates back to olden times when kings, rulers and monarchs of ancient India laid a lot of stress on planting trees. They ensured that their places had beautiful gardens in full bloom. In modem times this tradition of planting trees has been taken over by the local government of our cities whose whole hearted endeavour has been to plant as many trees as possible along roadsides and parks. We must realise that trees regulate our climate and keep global wanning under check. They prevent soil-erosion and help in filtration of water also. But due to the malpractice of deforestation, the earth has became dry and infertile. All the non-renewable resources have been exhausted. To prevent all this and to maintain a green cover we must adopt trees and check their extinction. Trees are life. Save them, Preserve them, Plant them. Thanking you Keerti

Question 6. Education should not allow any discrimination. All children have an equal right to education. Yet we find that in many families, girls are not given the education they desire. Taking help from the unit on Education, the following points and your own-ideas, write an article in about 150 words on the topic. “The Importance of Educating the Girl Child”. (Board Term-12012, Set EC2,063) (5 marks)

Answer: Importance of Educating the Girl Child A child’s first teacher is the mother but in our country no importance is given to the education of a girl child. It seems a wastage of money to most of the parents. We must understand that if we educate a man, we educate an individual but if we educate a woman, we educate the entire family. Education is beneficial for the female herself and her family. An educated girl can take decision with an open mind and can fight against all social evils like child marriage, female infanticide, dowry, domestic violence. It is a fact that educated mothers will always impart education to their daughters because they know that there is no difference in the learning ability or interest between a boy and a girl. Educating a girl child means improving their standard of work along with the gender discrimination at work. They can be imparted vocational training also to make them self-sufficient and financially secured. So, for the wholesome progress of our society and the upliftment of our society, it is a must to educate the girl child.

Question 7. Given below is an extract from an article in a magazine : Fast Food and its Nutritional Value To say fast food has a ‘nutritional value’ is an oxymoron. There is absolutely nothing nutritional about fast food. Fast food simply feeds hunger and/or your immediate craving. Fast food does not feed your body in the form of usable lasting energy or building materials, the essence your body thrives on for life itself. Write an article to be published in your school magazine expressing your concern over the health hazards caused by fast food in about 150 words. (Board Term-12012, Set EC2,038) (5 marks) Answer: Health Hazards of Fast Food In modem times, fast food is rapidly replacing the nutritious food cooked in kitchen. The reason for this is that it is quick and easy to prepare. Fast food is affordable and palatable as it is commercially served at low rates. A variety of fast food like pizza, burger, pre-sweetened cereals, chips, noodles, processed foods are easily available in the market. These types of food haven’t got any nutrition. Rather they are high in cholestrol, sugar, sodium and low in fibre, anti-oxidants, vitamins and minerals. These foods are hazardous for health. They give rise to blood- pressure, result in hypertension and cardiac disorders. Sometimes, they develop chronic degenerative disorders also. They simply feed hunger along with our immediate craving. They do not form our body in the form of usable lasting energy or building materials which is done by nutritious food like fruits, vegetables, chapatis, pulses, etc. Everyone should realise the importance of healthy and nutritious food and should say no to fast food. Parents should ensure that their children eat healthy, home-made food. Children should also break the shackles of unhealthy food and follow a diet-chart suggested by their parents.

Exercises are also devoid of the negative side effects associated with crash dieting, slimming tablets, and slimming center heat therapy.

But, in recent years, man has begun to tear down trees for his own selfish gain. He has become uninterested in them. Tree planting has now become one of the most important topics that we should not only be aware of but actively practice on a personal level. Given the multiple environmental benefits of trees and plants, it becomes critical for us to preserve greenery, which is essential for maintaining the ecological balance in our world. They made certain that their establishments had lovely gardens in full bloom. We must understand that trees help to manage our climate and keep global warming at bay. They help to avoid soil erosion as well as water filtration. The ground, however, has become dry and unproductive as a result of deforestation. To avoid all of this and maintain a green cover, we must adopt trees and stop them from becoming extinct. Trees are the source of life. Save, preserve, and replant them. Thanking you Keerti

(Board Term-12012, Set EC2,063) (5 marks)

Answer: Importance of Educating the Girl Child To the majority of parents, it appears to be a waste of money. We must realise that when we educate a man, we are educating an individual, and when we teach a woman, we are educating a family. Education is advantageous to both the female and her family. A well-educated girl can make informed decisions and combat social ills such as child marriage, female infanticide, dowry, and domestic violence. It is a truth that educated mothers would always educate their girls since they understand that a boy and a girl have the same learning abilities and interests. Educating a girl child entails raising her job standards and combating workplace gender discrimination. So, for the wholesome progress of our society and the upliftment of our society, it is a must to educate the girl child.

Pizza, hamburgers, pre-sweetened cereals, chips, noodles, and processed goods are all readily available in the market. These foods are devoid of any nutritional value. Rather, they are high in cholesterol, sugar, and sodium, while being lacking in fiber, antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals. These foods are potentially harmful to one’s health. They raise blood pressure, which can lead to hypertension and heart problems. It can also develop chronic degenerative diseases. They merely satisfy our appetite as well as our current need. Everyone should realise the importance of healthy and nutritious food and should say no to fast food. Parents should ensure that their children eat healthy, homemade food. Children should also break the shackles of unhealthy food and follow a diet chart suggested by their parents.
