I request the district authorities to take proper action as the situation is just worsening. Yours truly Karan Singh Karan Singh

Write a paragraph in 120-150 words on the topic ‘All That Glitters Is Not Gold’.

It is an old saying that appearances are often deceptive. We should not judge a person or a thing by appearance only. Appearance is a mere way to present oneself attractive in front of others. It is a superficial way of looking at a person or an object. But when you examine things from close quarters, they tend to look different and even disappointing. Every shining metal is not pure gold. It is gold if the inner metal is also gold. Similarly, every well dressed man is not a gentleman. All saffron clad men are not saints. The point here is: we should try to find out the exact nature of things without getting tempted by outward show. External beauty only mislead one’s opinion. We should try to judge a person or a thing by their deeds and inner worth and not by one’s words or external beauty. Education and knowledge can improve our awareness. It will help us to understand a person or a particular thing better.

Write a paragraph in 120-150 words on the topic ‘United We Stand, Divided We Fall’.

The simple explanation of this proverb can be: unity is strength and division leads to downfall. If we work together we can be successful and if we fight with each other we will fail. If we turn the pages of Indian history, we can see how the Mughals exploited our disunity and enslaved us. Even the European Traders entered India and gradually succeeded in turning India into a British territory by making use of their ‘Divide and Rule’ policy between Hindus and Muslims. Internal differences always weaken a team. The members of the team can score no goal. Therefore, all the members must co-operate for common good. Selfish leaders often try to divide people in order to gain power. The results are always disastrous for the economic growth of the country. We must realise and remain united in the hour of need. We must remember that victory is never an individual effort, it is a collective achievement.

Write a paragraph in 120-150 words on the topic ‘My Favourite Hobby ’.

Watching television is inadvertently became a part of our daily life. And it is one of my favourite hobbies too. Television connects us with the outside world. There are different programmes to suit everyone’s taste. We can choose from a plethora of programmes from entertainment, movies, sports, news to kids’ section. Besides, many service providers now-a-days deliver education based programmes to the viewers. Watching TV has its own benefits. It increases our knowledge; give us information to improve our lives and provides a platform to widen our horizon. My favourite programme on TV is documentary films on wild life which comes on Planet Animal, Discovery Channel and National Geographic. It’s so fascinating to explore the unknown world and get a bird’s eye view of the wild life and landscape that surrounds us. These programmes inspire people to care about the planet. If we tune in to the right channel and programme, TV will always prove to be a great aid.

Write a paragraph in 120-150 words on the topic ‘My Last Summer Holiday’.

Summer vacations are always filled with fun and frolic. We eagerly wait for it every year to move to an ideal destination. My parents always plan our vacation in advance. This time they’d planned a two-week holiday trip to Assam and intended to show me the ancestral home of my grandfather. I considered it as a great plan as I’ve heard a lot about the village and its scenic beauty. So the next day when my school got closed, we packed our bags and marched towards our destination. It’s a 2hrs flight from Delhi to Guwahati. We visited the state zoo, museum, kalakshetra and the famous temples that are a part of this beautiful city. We also visited Umananda- an ancient Shiva temple, located on a small island in the midst of the river Brahmaputra. We’d taken a boat ride to reach there. It was really fun. The most exciting part of my trip was the visit to my grandpa’s village. I’ve never seen such rich paddy fields. The caretaker of the house arranged lovely meals. We did a lot of fishing there. The days have passed-by and it was time to bid adieu to everyone who made this vacation so special and memorable. I look forward for summer holidays every year.

Write a paragraph in 120-150 words on the topic ‘My Best Friend’.

Do you have a best friend? Surely I have. Her name is Sangita. She was my schoolmate. We have known each other since we’re seven years old. If I were to describe how she looks, I would say she is pretty, witty and full of life. She is the one who makes me feel better whenever I’m upset. Since our interest lies in the same hobbies, we spend a lot of time together. Sangita is a very good dancer too. She had won many accolades when we were in school. We’d shared our happiness, sorrow and even secrets. She would come up with a solution whenever I approached her with any problem. Even though we choose different fields and got busy with life, still we take out time to catch up. I’ve come across so many friends, but she is someone on whom I’m very dependable. It’s hard to find someone like her. I hope our friendship will continue forever.
