A big city is always crowded and noisy. Life in a big city is busy and fast. People are always in a hurry. A big city is full of smoke, dust and noise. The peace which we find in a village or a small town is absent in a big city. The poor people lead a miserable life in big cities. There are slums where people live in bad conditions.

But a big I city has its attractions also. There are big buildings, cinema houses and markets. There are big and modem hospitals. A person suffering from disease can hope to get the best treatment.There are big

Even the prices of essential commodities like sugar, oils, cotton, tea, pulses, food grains, petrol etc. have greatly increased. The people of the fixed income groups like the salaried people, labourers etc., are the worst sufferers. They find it difficult to make both ends meet. Many things are going beyond the reach of poor people. One of the reason of rising prices is our growing population.

The population is growing rapidly every year. But the production of things does not increase at the same speed. There is increase in demand. So the prices also increase. The black-marketers and hoarders are also responsible for increasing the prices of essential things. We should check our growing population.

7. Weed To Ban Polybags [H.B.S.E. 2020 (Set-B)]
Polythene and plastic are spoiling people’s health from village to city. The city’s drainage system is often filled with polythene. Due to this, drains and streams are blocked. Its use has increased rapidly. By consuming tea or hot milk in plastic glasses, its chemical goes into people’s stomachs. This causes diarrhoea as well as other serious diseases. The increasing use of polythene is becoming dangerous not only for the present but also for the future. Earlier, when people went for a shopping, they used to carry a bag of cloth, but today they go empty handed and ask for polythene from the shopkeeper.

Remember that polythene deposited on the earth floor is depleting the ability of the ground to absorb water. Due to this the ground water level is falling rapidly. Due to not being destroyed in a natural way, it is slowly ending the fertilizer capacity of the earth. Burning plastic also causes damage. Its poisonous smoke is dangerous to health. Therefore, the government should ban the manufacturing and use of polythene as soon as possible.

Education in India is in a very poor state. Our government does not pay much attention to education.

I would open new schools and colleges even in remote villages. But mere opening of schools is not enough. The teachers should also be qualified. I would like to ban elections to students unions.

Sexism may be defined as an ideology based on the belief that one sex is superior to another.

Last year, I visited Mussourie. I and two of my friends went together. Mussourie is a beautiful hill station. It is surrounded by tall and majestic hills. From Dehradun, Mussourie is only one hour away by bus. The way to Mussourie from Dehradun is very steep. At night one can see the beautiful and shining city of Mussourie from Dehradun. In the same way, from Mussourie one can see below, the lights of Dehradun at night. There are a number of beauty spots in and around Mussourie.

We had a beautiful glimpse of the Himalayas from Lai Tibba hill. We enjoyed a ride in the rope-way trollies at gunhill. We visited Dhanllti also. The lake at Mussourie is small but beautiful.

The hobby of gardening gives me a chance to be near flowers and plants. Their presence gives me pleasure and satisfaction.

I do gardening in the backyard of my house. In one part of it, I have grown roses. These look very beautiful when they are in full bloom.

15. Corruption In Public Lite
Or
Need For Fight Against Corruption
Corruption has become very common these days. This evil is spread in all fields of life. Taking and giving of bribes is a common thing now. Nobody feels shame about it. In today’s life nothing can be done without bribes. In government offices, the clerks as well as officers openly demand bribes. We have become greedy. We are running after money all the time.

This desire for more and more money has made us corrupt. But there is an urgent need to fight against corruption. We should neither demand nor give bribes. This is not only a legal crime but also a crime against morality. The government has made anti-corruption laws. But only laws cannot do anything. We must change our own character. We must fight against corruption. We should boycott those persons who are corrupt. They should be put to shame. Only then we can check the growing corruption.

These days the cable T.V. has reached most of the homes. A number of movies are shown on these channels. Excessive T.V. watching harms the eye-sight also. But we cannot blame the T.V.

The standard of education in India is falling. Today the number of degree holders are increasing, but the level of knowledge is decreasing. In the past, people did not have many educational degrees, but they had real knowledge. But these days, we insist on bookish knowledge. A person who can cram more and then write it within three hours may get more marks. In our schools and colleges, we do not pay attention to the real knowledge. Our education system prepares a student for passing examinations only. But a student holding an M.A. degree may not know how to write a simple application. He may not be able to fill up the form for railway reservation. There are many reasons for the falling standard of education. There is shortage of schools at the primary and matriculation level. There is also need for good and trained teachers. The courses of education should also be framed in such a way as to give real knowledge to the students.

That teaches him discipline. Games and sports build a man’s character. A good player always plays with a spirit of sportsmanship.

No team can win unless all the players play with a team spirit. They play not for their individual glory, but for the glory of the team. So, they learn to help and co-operate with one another. And that training stands in good stead in life. Above all, sports teach us to accept even our defeat gracefully. They teach us that we should not feel discouraged by our failure. On the other hand, we should learn from our mistakes and try to do better the next time. For all these reasons, sports have a great value.

My father was a loving man. Often he took me for long walks outside the city. Whenever I was tired, he carried me on his shoulders. Sometimes I would stand on the bank of the pond and watch the swans swimming in it.

I remember that one of my uncles used to visit us. He was very kind and brought good gifts for me. In our city, there was a big mosque which had been deserted. Near the mosque, there was a vegetable market. When I started going to school, I made a number of friends. I still remember them.

49. Men And Women Are Born Equal But…
God has made men and women equal but in Indian society, we find that they are not treated as equal. Society does not give women the status of equality with men. In a family, we see the difference between a son and a daughter. When a son is born, the parents dance with joy. But the birth of a daughter is not celebrated. Many people are not willing to spend as much money on the education of their daughters as they spend on their sons. In the past women were treated only as slaves.

Even now women is called the weaker sex. It is thought that a woman cannot do all those things which a man can do. A woman’s field is limited to the household duties only. These days many women are coming forward and working shoulder-to-shoulder with men. But their status is still not equal to that of men.

50. The Advantage Of Learning A Foreign Language
Language is mainly a means of communication. Through language, we can understand others and express our thoughts to them. It is also a means of getting knowledge. If we do not know language we will not be able to get the knowledge which lies stored in the books of the world. So the more languages we know, the more knowledge we get. The writers and learned men of all countries have written in their own languages. These writings are full of knowledge and wisdom.

But we cannot get them if we do not know the language of that country. If we know only one language, our minds will be limited. They will not expand. So children should be taught at least one foreign language at school. This will give them the knowledge about other countries, their culture and thoughts. It will also be very useful for the overall development of the child’s personality.

Glossary :
communication = संचार,
express = व्यक्त करना,
expand = फैलना,
foreign = विदेशी,
personality = व्यक्तित्व ।
