Sir,
Subject: The harmful effects of tourism on Corbett National Park
Through the columns of your esteemed daily, I would like to draw the attention of the concerned authority to the rampant abuse of available facilities in the Corbett National Park by tourists and the consequent endangerment to the environment.
The tourists not only litter the place with non-biodegradable plastic packets and wrappers but also use wood from the forests for cooking purposes. The excessive trampling of the soil has been reported to have a harmful effect on the natural ecosystem. The tranquillity of the habitat, which is so crucial to the resident fauna, is habitually disturbed by tourists playing loud music in their safari jeeps and during their camps.
The Corbett National Park is the oldest in the country, established in 1936, to protect the endangered Bengal tiger. The public should be made aware of the fact that eco-tourism should not be facilitated at the cost of harming the environment. It is my request that this issue is immediately taken up by your esteemed publication to generate further awareness.
Yours sincerely,

On Teacher's Day, you read in a' newspaper that privately owned and managed schools in small towns or even in the suburbs of metropolitan cities exploit their teachers by paying them just' a fraction' of their authorised salaries. This affects their performance in the classroom and thus the lives of their students. Write a letter in 120-150 words to the editor of a national daily raising your voice against such exploitation. Suggest ways to solve this problem. You are Navtej/Navita, 112 Taj Road, Agra.

Sir,
Subject: Depreciation of faculties in small and private schools in town and sub-urban areas.
Through the columns of your esteemed newspaper, I would like to bring into public concern the devaluation of the teachers who are employed in private schools in towns and suburban areas. This issue was brought to light in another national daily that mentioned that the teachers employed in such schools are paid a fraction of their authorised salaries.
The performance of the teachers in such schools is profoundly affected. Such mismanagement demotivates the teachers and they start taking their responsibilities towards the school leniently. Also, the authorities in these schools don’t focus on the hiring of the teachers who are actually suitable for the role. As they don’t offer a good salary, they don’t get job applicants who are suitably qualified for it. Moreover, the school authorities don’t pay these teachers the pay scale they were promised at the time of appointment. All these factors lead to frequent resignations and constant replacement and substitution in the faculty. The frequent replacement of the faculty, in turn, leads to unsystematic teaching methods resulting in deteriorating students' performances.
It must be noted the greatest wealth and strength of any nation is its youth. Such education system has a detrimental effect on our youth’s future. And, we cannot build a future for our students if we do not give due credit to our teachers. Therefore, I request your esteemed publication to take up this matter in order to generate public awareness towards the same.
Yours sincerely

The government has banned the use of animals in the laboratories for the purpose of dissection. Write a debate in 150 - 200 words either for or against this decision.
Good morning everyone. Today I am going express my views against the motion for banning the use of animals for dissection.
Dissection of animals in the school laboratories provides a practical experience with the theoretical knowledge that students gain from books. They procure an opportunity to actually put their learning into practice. It should not be looked at as a wrongful practice because such an activity is meant to develop the students’ knowledge of the elements and functions of the living being. The dissection of animals has a scientific purpose; it is a mode of hands-on education for students such that they learn outside of the pages of the textbook and actually look at what they are being taught. We should give more credit to the sensitivity and intelligence of our students so as not to believe that a dissection class will make them more prone to animal violence. Students should be taught the value of animal life by making them understand how an animal has the same kind of organs as human beings that perform similar functions. The governing philosophy behind teaching students to dissect animals should be that life, whether human or animal, is the same; each living being is tied to each other by their inner similarity. Thus, a ban on dissection of animals in school laboratories would not be the best course of action in such a case. I hope my views on this topic were substantial enough to throw a light on this topic.
Thank you.

Midday meal scheme in the schools introduced by the government serves several purposes. Millions of children from the deprived sections of society get nutritious food leading to good health, are attracted to the schools, kept from going astray and developed into good citizens. The scheme may have some drawbacks too. Write an article in 150 – 200 words on all aspects of the scheme. You are Navtej/Navita
Midday Meal
By Navtej
The midday meal scheme in schools was initiated with the dual objective of improving the nutritional status of children in classes one through five in government schools and government-aided schools along with encouraging children from socially and economically disadvantaged backgrounds to attend school regularly. It is a measure taken by the government to ensure that by meeting the nutritional requirements of the students, they would also be helping them in concentrating in school activities.
The aim is also to keep children in schools, enable them to devote time to their education rather than leave the school to labour for food or get involved in criminal activities. The scheme estimates that a cooked midday meal provides a child with a minimum of 300 calories and 8−12 grams of protein to all children. This scheme was revised to cover children in the upper primary section, from the year 2007.
The programme is carried out with the help of the local authorities. However, certain issues have cropped up. There have been a lot of cases of food poisoning resulting from the partaking of these midday meals. In some schools, funds meant for such purposes have been funnelled off into the pockets of those in charge of distributing the grains.
The government must inquire into all aspects of the schemes, check the supply chain of food grains, impose strict measures for the observance of cleanliness in the school kitchens and ensure that the intention, with which the scheme was started, i.e. to help the students, continues to be the cornerstone of the scheme.
Morning assembly in the schools gives a cool and calm start to the otherwise hectic schedule of the day. It can be a means of passing important information to the students. What are your views on this significant event of the day? Write an article in 150 – 200 words on 'Importance of Morning Assembly'. You are Navtej/Navita.
Importance of Morning Assembly
By Navita
The morning assembly in schools starts the day on a cool and calm note, a short breather before the hectic school day begins with classes, courses and extra-curricular activities, swamping our time. It offers a moment of reflection before the working day begins, the school community meets together and the assembly becomes a medium of communicating matters of significance to each other.
The morning assembly is a time when the whole school assembles in the field or school auditorium, prays together, shares information and begins the day jointly on a note of quiet reflection, which is so crucial in preparing for the hectic day ahead. The most important thing is that the assembly imparts a clear sense of vision that there are moments of peace, even if the day seems like there is too much on our plates.

Terrorism- A Threat to Humanity
By Meena
Terrorism has become a big national and international problem all over the world. It is a global issue which has affected almost all the nations throughout the world directly or indirectly. Opposing terrorism has been tried by many countries however; terrorists are still getting support by someone. Terrorism is a violent act of terrifying the common public anytime in the day or night. Terrorists have many objectives such as spreading threat of violence in the society, fulfilling political purposes, etc. They make civilians of the country their primary target.
Some of the examples of terrorism are bombing of US Embassy, atom bomb attack on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, etc. The main goal of the terrorists is fulfillment of their demands by the government of a specific country. They contact online social media or newspaper, magazine, etc. to spread their voices to the public and government. Sometimes, terrorists attack is done to fulfill the religious and ideological goal.
India is a tourists' paradise. But we have not really exploited our tourism possibilities. Write an article in 125‒150words on 'Tourism in India'. You are Ravi/Rani.
Tourism in India
By Ravi
India has fascinated people from all over the world with her secularism and her culture. There are historical monuments, beaches, places of religious interests, hill resorts, etc. that attract tourists. Every region is identified with its handicraft, fairs, folk dances, music and its people. India is known for its rich flora and fauna, beautiful landscapes, glorious past and varied cultural trends. All this makes India a major attraction for tourists from all over the world.
Notwithstanding, there are certain reasons on account of which India has been constantly suffering setbacks in its tourism industry. It is adversely affected by terrorism, tours and pollution. Moreover, travelling is a nightmare in India. To complement it, the existence of unhygienic accommodations at a reasonable cost adds to the distraction of tourists visiting India.
The government of India needs to put concerted efforts in place to revamp tourism in the country. Utmost emphasis should be placed on infrastructure development and in beefing up the security. Such efforts will certainly make India a leader in the world of tourism.

I am fine here and hope that all of you are doing well too. I am writing to inform you about the latest process of CCE being used by the CBSE for the Secondary School Examination in its affiliated schools.
CCE aims at improving students' performance by identifying his/her learning difficulties at regular time intervals, right from the beginning of the academic session. It employs suitable remedial measures for enhancing their learning performance. It also encourages learning through employment of a variety of teaching aids and techniques.
The prime attraction of the CCE scheme is that there will be no Class X Board Examination w.e.f. 2011 for the students studying in CBSE’s Senior Secondary schools and who do not wish to move out of the CBSE system after Class X.
All my classmates are extremely happy and positive about this new scheme.
Hope to see you soon. I shall share the rest of the details when I meet you.

Obesity among School Children
By Mohini
Obesity is a state of being overweight and is more than just a cosmetic problem. It is a serious health hazard which is a result of lifestyle disorder. Obesity is a widespread and growing problem in the world with significant medical, psychosocial and economic consequences. The prevalence of obesity has increased substantially over the last few decades and indications are that this trend will continue.
It is astonishing to see obesity not just among men and women, but also among the school-going children. The major cause for this is wrong eating habits. Children are very fond of junk food, such as burgers and noodles, which is one of the major causes of obesity. Also, due to time constraints and hectic schedules, it becomes very hard for them to take out time for any physical activity. Often parents too tend to overlook the issue and unknowingly add into the bargain through their lack of attention.
It is important to note that excess fat can lead to severe chronic diseases and illnesses. Efforts are required to educate and inform people about this problem. Also, the government should organise free health check-up camps at schools to help children keep a check on health related problems.You are Raman/Ruchika.

Life without Modern Gadgets
By Raman
In today’s life we try to maximize our tasks within an allotted time. Without the use of modern gadgets it is not possible to accomplish our daily tasks and we are also not able to do our work with efficiency. We cannot even dare to imagine our life without laptop, smart phones, cell phones, notebooks, microwaves and so on. Obviously many questions will peer into the mind like how will I keep in touch with my friends and colleagues? How will I text my relatives and friends? Today’s gadgets are the only way we can make our life comfortable and easier.
The advent of technological and scientific development has certainly helped humans to lead a life of comfort, luxury and style. Modern science has developed some revolutionary gadgets. Our markets are flooded with modern gadgets like cell phones, tablets, notepads, etc. and every person has some reason to get his hands over such advanced gadgets. Gadgets have made our life pleasurable like the use of AC during the summer season followed by a room heater during the cold chilly winter seasons. Fans, dryers, washers, sewing machine, air purifiers are all gadgets. Wherever you look you will able to see a gadget. Even for taking care of our hair we need gadgets like hair dryer, hair straightener and so on.
Man has enslaved himself to such inventions and it is impossible to imagine life without the same. These gadgets, once considered a luxury, have turned into necessity these days. In order to stay in contact with one's family and friends; to stay up-to-date on the happenings of the world, one needs these gadgets. Without these, one would be lost.
Through ultra-modern gadgets and such astonishing inventions, man has been able to give a definite shape to his imagination. As the result of these inventions, our lives have changed beyond recognition.

Thus, yoga is a practical philosophy involving every aspect of a person’s being. It teaches the evolution of the individual by the development of self-discipline and self-awareness.

Dear Sir,
Subject: The pernicious repercussions of tourism on Corbett National Park
Through the columns of your esteemed daily, I would like to draw the attention of the concerned authority to the flagrant use of facilities by tourists and its ruinous impact on the environment in Corbett National Park.
The use of non-biodegradable plastic packets and wrappers not only litters the place but also pollutes the environment. Apart from that, the tourists use the natural resources available in the Park to the extent that disturbs the ecosystem. The improper use of trees of the forest for the fuel, litter and the pollution made by the tourists affects the serenity of the habitat. Moreover, the tourism intrudes the habitat of the fauna.
The Corbett National Park is one of the best natural destinations where the richest concentrations of animals come into sight. There must be strict regulations to create awareness in the public about the fact that tourism should not upset the ecosystem. I request you to kindly take up this issue immediately by your esteemed publication to generate further awareness.
Yours sincerely,

Dear Sir,
Subject: Depreciation of faculties in small and private schools in town and sub-urban areas.
Through the columns of your esteemed newspaper, I would like to bring into public concern the devaluation of the teachers who are employed in private schools in towns and suburban areas. This issue was brought to light in another national daily that mentioned that the teachers employed in such schools are paid a fraction of their authorized salaries.
The performance of the teachers in such schools is profoundly affected. Such mismanagement demotivates the teachers and they start taking their responsibilities towards the school leniently. Also, the authorities in these schools don’t focus on hiring of the teachers who are actually suitable for the role. As they don’t offer a good salary, they don’t get job applicants who are suitably qualified for it. Moreover, the school authorities don’t pay these teachers the pay scale they were promised at the time of appointment. All these factors lead to frequent resignations and constant replacement and substitution in the faculty. The frequent replacement of the faculty in turn leads to unsystematic teaching methods resulting in deteriorating students' performances.
It must be noted the greatest wealth and strength of any nation is its youth. Such education system has a detrimental effect on our youth’s future. And, we cannot build a future for our students if we do not give due credit to our teachers. Therefore, I request your esteemed publication to take up this matter in order to generate public awareness towards the same.
The government has banned the use of animals in the laboratories for the purpose of dissection. Write a debate in 150 – 200 words either for or against this decision.
Good morning everyone. Today I am going express my views against the motion for banning the use of animals for dissection.
Dissection of animals in the school laboratories provide a practical experience for the theoretical knowledge that students gain from books. They procure an opportunity to actually put their learning into practice. It should not be looked at as a wrongful practice because such an activity is meant to develop the student’s knowledge of the elements and functions of the living being. The dissection of animals has a scientific purpose; it is a mode of hands-on education for students such that they learn outside of the pages of the textbook and actually look at what they are being taught. We should give more credit to the sensitivity and intelligence of our students so as not to believe that a dissection class will make them more prone to animal violence. Students should be taught the value of animal life by making them understand how an animal has the same kind of organs as human beings that perform similar functions. The governing philosophy behind teaching students to dissect animals should be that life, whether human or animal, is the same; each living being is tied to each other by their inner similarity. Thus, a ban on dissection of animals in school laboratories would not be the best course of action in such a case. I hope my views on this topic were substantial enough to throw a light on this topic.
Thank you.
Some people feel that electronic media (TV news) will bring about the end of print media (newspapers). What are your views on the issue? Write a debate in 150 – 200 words either for or against this view.
Good morning everyone. Today, I take the opportunity to express my argument against the motion on the belief that electronic media (TV news) will bring about the end of print media (newspapers).
TV news that strives towards authentic and fast reportage is always at the risk of fabricating its content to continue being in circulation. The governing principle for the 24-hours news format is that whether or not news constitutes the element of worthiness, it should be covered on the channel. If there is nothing worth reporting then the content can be made sensational just to gain currency. It tends to become repetitive and dull, scandals are allowed to become news and popularity becomes the main objective. The ambition of TV news to be the sole guardian of objective truth in the field of journalism can be considered to be a tall claim as more often than not it becomes a site for promotion of commercial products and sensational content in the garb of news. Print media is a time-tested medium of information dissemination, the time taken to publish engenders that the content of the report has been analysed and verified to offer a composite picture to the reader. Editorial commentary ensures an informed view on the issues at hand. Newspapers are far from extinction; they are still a tried and time-tested mode of receiving the world at our doorstep. Thus, electronic media can never overrule print media.
Thank you.
Ragging has raised its ugly head again. A recent incident at a prestigious school has shown that this evil has not yet come to an end. Write an article in 150 - 200 words on ' Ragging, an Evil. You are Navtej/Navita.
Ragging an Evil
by Navita
Ragging is a practice that signifies the hailing of a fresher in a barbaric form. It is a damaging form of interaction of the seniors in college or school with the juniors, newcomers or first years. It can be discerned that this habitude has been pursued since 7th or 8th century A.D when it had a different form. Greece, which is a known country for sports, seeded this phenomenon of subjecting the new entrants to the sport community to all kinds of humiliations and teasing to inculcate a team spirit in them. Gradually, this system sustained multiple modifications and was later followed by the military. Unfortunately, it made its way into the education system. It involves a number of uncivilized activities such as insulting, running errands for seniors, and many other complex activities. The best educational institutions in India especially the medical colleges have a history that is stained with traumatic cases of brutal ragging. Ragging was practiced to enforce traditions and discipline fresher into respecting their seniors and the academic hierarchy at such institutions. With time, Ragging has become unpopular due to numerous cases in which the victims are reported to be severely injured. Nowadays, any act that violates a student's self-respect is considered to be ragging. Many strict laws are already framed to counter the same. However, it is observed that this system is still popular in places where the authorities don’t enforce the laws rigidly. Recently, an eleven-year girl died in a tragic incident in Kolkata. She became the victim of the severe traumatic conditions that were coerced upon her by her seniors. She was locked in the bathroom when she failed to get the money that her seniors had asked her to bring. Such practices need to be eradicated from the educational system because they impede the processes of growth and learning at the institutions which are centres of wholesome development. Spreading awareness amidst the student community and the enforcement of lawful action against the supporters of such practices are the only viable solutions to the problem to stop the harmful practice of ragging.

Tourism Potential of India
by Navtej
India’s rich geographical, cultural and linguistic diversity has always attracted people around the world to come and explore every part of India. It is discernible that India has a great potential for tourism which is still to be explored. Each century has brought a new culture on to Indian soil leading to a diversified commingling that has shaped modern India. There are so many places of historical interest, heirlooms left over from the various centuries. From the mosques to the temples and churches, India is a living testament to its vast and varied religious heritage. Being a secular country, every religion in India has full liberty to celebrate its special festivals in which the entire country participates as a whole. For those looking to just get away from the madding crowd, hill stations during summers, the sun-kissed beaches in winter and leisure tourism are the go-to options. Over the years, medical tourism has also emerged as an extremely viable option, considering world-class facilities are made available at half the prices here, enabling more and more people to come to India for their healthcare. The options enumerated so far are just some instances of India’s diversified touristic potential. There is so much more waiting to be explored in what can truly be the dream destination for tourists.

The impact of reality shows on the younger generation (By XYZ) 27th February 2011
Recently our school conducted a debate on 'The impact of reality shows on the younger generation' in which 40 students participated. All the participants were well-prepared. As the topic was very sensitive and thought to provoke, so it became very interesting and listen to the various opinions, particularly of those who are just entering the left of a real world. All the participants were very enthusiastic in presenting their opinions, however, one of our students, Priya Chopra, head girl of our school, was outstanding, and she bagged the prize of the best speaker. She just, by her fearless and bold opinions, shook the conscience of the audience. She said, “Your private life being a reason of mirth and entertainment for millions is not something to be proud of. As youngsters, we have a responsibility to the country. Being part of a multi- lingual, multi-faceted culture and history is our greatest blessing. We need to preserve these values and imbibe only the virtues of other cultures.” Mr. Nilanjan, HOD, Extracurricular activities concluded the debate with the hope that the media realise their role in this mission and telecast only shows that upheld the dignity and integrity of our culture. |

Sir,
Through the columns of your popular daily, I would like to draw the attention of the municipal authorities to the inconvenience being faced by the residents of this locality due to inadequate parking facilities in the street.
Sir, this is the most congested area of the city, full of hustle and bustle at all hours. Customers from the nearby localities come to shop on this street. But unfortunately, there is no parking facility. The people park their scooters and cars in front of the shops. This makes the street narrower. The pedestrians find it difficult to walk in the street.
I would like to suggest that the open space near the crossing should be converted into a car/ scooter park. The police constables on duty should instruct the people to park their scooters/cars at the parking space. The people, especially the residents of nearby localities, should co-operate with the administration to solve this problem.
Yours truly

Pollution and Traffic Jams caused by a large number of vehicles
By Madhuri
The number of vehicles has increased considerably in the city in the past five years, which is one of the sources of pollution. Due to increase in a number of vehicles over the years, the city roads witness frequent traffic congestions, but above all, the vehicles emitting pollutants are affecting environment badly. The air pollution consists of many pollutants, among other particulate matter. These particles are able to penetrate deeply into the respiratory tract and therefore constitute a risk for health by increasing mortality from respiratory infections and diseases, lung cancer, and selected cardiovascular diseases. Moreover, the high volume of vehicles and the inadequate infrastructure are leading to increasing traffic jam.
To solve this problem, the government should encourage people to use public transport or vehicles with small size such as bicycles or make the tax on private vehicles.

Sir/ Madam,
Through the columns of your esteemed newspaper, I would like to draw the attention of all the readers towards the increasing incidents of eve-teasing in our Indian society and how women are not safe in this society, whether it is a small girl or a teenager or a working women or an aged lady, such incidents are increasing tremendously creating huge sense of fear in the minds of people.
We talk about women empowerment all the time on a regular basis and ask the nation to be a part of it. But even after so many campaigns people are not learning the sensitivity of the gender. Women are still considered as a weak section of the society and still not given equal opportunity and the freedom and respect they deserve. We forget that this section of the society makes half of the population of the nation, and if they feel unsafe in the society, it would not take much time for the society to lose its existence.
India is now developing and so should its society develop. The fight for equal women right is not an individual fight but a fight as a whole. I hope that you publish my words in your newspaper as it would be for the betterment of the society and nation as whole.

Sports should be an important part of school’s daily routine. Write an article in 150-200 words in ‘Importance of Outdoor Games’. You are Sreeja/Thomas.
Games like cricket, hokey, tennis, football and badminton are outdoor games that are played in open grounds. They are games that involve physical activity and also a spirit of healthy competition. Outdoor games are important to relax ourselves and to increase stamina.
Due to today’s lifestyle, children of low ages are suffering from various diseases like obesity, diabetes etc. and therefore outdoor activities have become an important part of their curriculum. Outdoor games also have a long term benefit on health as it boosts the immune system. These help in the growth of the kids and help them to stay fit in a longer run.
Such games also help students to develop mentally as these games teach students leadership qualities and team work. They boosts up their confidence level and self-esteem. They learn to interact which help them to enhance their communication skills. In this world of gadgets and technologies in is very important for children to leave theirs phones, laptops, television and engage themselves in outdoor activities for their betterment.

Honoring the Gem amongst Us- Ms. Geetha
I feel honored and privileged to have been given the opportunity to stand before you all and say a few words of appreciation for our beloved Ms. Geetha (PGT, English). What a person she is! She has not only been inspiring us to evolve as students and better human beings but has also, given us the courage to believe in our dreams and try to fulfill them.
Good morning to one and all present here. I Ragini Joshi, on behalf of the students of Bachelors in English am going to present a speech in the honor of the author of a national award winning book, Sky Is Not Far. The book is a collection of short stories written by her. As the title itself suggests, the book is a set of stories which are not just tales but are an account of inspirational journeys, undertook by common people and how they achieved their not so common goals in life.
Ms. Geetha, through her stories, not just the ones she has written in the book, but the ones she told us in class, has inspired each one of us and made us believe that sky is the limit and of course, it is not so far. I am proud to say that I have been one of the students in her class, who has looked up to her and is a huge fan of her master pieces.
Thank you ma’am for mentoring us and making us believe that though life may not be a bed of roses, there is nothing which is impossible to achieve.
Thank You
‘Private cars should be banned in the congested commercial areas of the cities.’ Write a debate in 150-200 words either for or against the motion.
Respected judges and teachers.
Today I stand before you to present my views for the motion on the topic ‘Private cars should be banned in the congested commercial areas of the cities’. I believe that private cars should be banned in the congested commercial areas of the cities.
There is no end to the number of vehicles being driven around the city each day. Traffic jams has become a common problem and it has only increased in the last ten years. In my opinion, allowing private cars to congested commercial areas only adds to the problem. Long traffic jams not only means consumption of extra fuel but it also means that more number of people would suffer from respiratory diseases due to pollution. If people take public transport to work or hire a cab which runs on CNG and comes with an option of pooling on a regular basis, the problem of constantly rising pollution and heavy traffic jams can be reduced to a huge extent.
The earth belongs to all of us and it is our duty to keep it clean for our future generations. Thus, the first step towards protecting our environment should be to stop the excess use of petroleum and think of a more sustainable method for this problem.
Thank you for listening to my views patiently.
