(a) Air pollution
(b) My favorite national leader
(c) Newspaper
Answer:
(a) Air pollution
Air pollution is one of the grave hazards the world is facing these days. Air pollution is an undesirable contamination of harmful gases like carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, lead and sulpher dioxide, dust and odour in excess amounts. It is very harmful to the health of all living beings. The main reason for the increasing pollution of our atmosphere is industralization, deforestation and exessive use of automobiles. The smoke from vehicles and volatile organic componds cause air pollution.
Diseases like asthma, skin disorders, chest infection, and some times cancer are On the raise due to air pollution. Unless we try to reduce polluting our air, we will continue to suffer health hazards. Many Governments have woken up and trying to impose strict laws for controlling air pollution. We should all make a habit of using public transport instead of using private vehicles. All of us should contribute to make this earth, pollution free.
(b) My favourite national leader
My favourite National ieadei is Mahatma Gandhiji. He is called the ‘Father of the nation’ because he had sacrificed his entire life to get India’s Independence from the British rule.- He was bora on October 2,1869 at Porbandar. After his early education in India he went to England to study to become a Barrister. Later he started practicing law in South-Africa. He involved himself in South- Africa’s struggle against Racism. Later he returned to India. He left his law practice and dedicated his life to the freedom strugle.
He believed in truth and non-violence. He loved all humanity. He struggled to uplift the lives of the downtrodden and under privilized. Indians lovingly called him Bapu. He won freedom for India and India gained freedom on 15th August 1947. He was against the partition of India. He went on a hunger strike for 21 days. But due to communal violence he agreed to the partition of India and Pakistan.
On his way to a prayer meeting at Birla mandir in New Delhi, he was shot to death by a madman called Nathuram Godse, on January, 30th, 1948. He was, buried at Rajghat. Millions of people visit his Samadhi at Rajghat to pay homage to the great human being who dedicated his entire life for mother India.
(c) Newspaper
Newspapers play the role of a ‘mirror to the world’. It is the cheapest medium of mass communication and to spread awareness among masses. Newspaper,makes us aware of the current international, national and regional events. On a daily basis students read newspaper to keep themselves abreast of the recent developments in various fields.
It is an important tool in the learning process for students. It has played an important role in the exercise of freedom of expression. I always read the newspaper before leaving for school to know about the current happenings of the world and to be an informed citizen.
