1.Education System of India
As
per Aristotle “Education is an ornament in prosperity and a refuge in
adversity”
OR
As
per G.K. Chesterton “Education is simply the soul of a society as it passes
from one generation to another.”
OR
As
per Forbes “Education’s purpose is to fill an empty mind with an open mind.”
Providing
education to people is one of the prime responsibilities of every nation.
Therefore it is equally important for a nation to use the most effective
education system while educating people. Whether a country chooses formal or
informal education system for educating people, it will entirely depend on it’s
social, economic and financial status
There is no discrimination among the
people on the basis of religion, caste etc. However, the minorities are given
right to run their own educational institutions with financial aid from
Government and they are free to introduce their religion, language in their
institution. Education is compulsory and free upto primary standard.
Education is further
upgraded upto 10+2 system where the examinations are conducted by the Board at
10th and 12th grade. Thereafter, students are free to choose the
courses of their own at any stage, i.e. primary, secondary, senior secondary
level, 12th grade is called Senior Secondary school
Indian schools are not as well organized
as they are expected. Private/Public school charge high fee. While the
Education Department has a loose control over these Private/ Public Schools,
government has its own schools where they charge normal fee and the students
are from poor section of society. Overall the condition of government schools
is pathetic.
Under the educational
system Central Board of Secondary Education (C.B.S.E) is known for quality
control. C B.S.E. has its office in New Delhi.
Local educational institutions play an
important role in the area of education. As our country is poor and cannot
afford the heavy expenses of Educational institutions, local education body's
arc allowed to open their schools and Government recognizes these institutions
at par with the Government institutions. Minority institutions have their own
schools with their own expenses or Government grants in-aid. But they fill the
gap and help the Government to reduce its burden.
2.Facebook
Facebook is an online social
networking service. Facebook was founded on February 4, 2004 by Mark Zuckerberg with his college roommates. The
founders had initially limited the website's membership to Harvard students,
but later expanded it to colleges in the Boston area.
It gradually added support for
students aged 13 and over. Anyone who is above 13 years can become a registered user of the website.
Facebook now allows Users must
register before using the site, after which they may create a personal profile, add other users as friends, exchange messages, upload
photographs and receive automatic notifications. In September 2012,
Facebook had over one billion active users
Facebook
is both a consumer of and contributor to free and open source software. Facebook also contributes to other opensource projects such as Oracle's MySQL database
Voice
calls
Since April 2011, Facebook users have
had the ability to make live voice
calls via Facebook Chat, allowing users to chat with others from all
over the world
Video
calling
On July 6, 2011, Facebook launched its video calling services
Using a Skype.
It helps people to connect to many people at the same time,
3.Traffic in Delhi
Various points which you might
want to add in the required paragraph are:
Traffic
congestion is a condition on roads that
occurs as use increases, and is characterized by slower speeds, longer
trip times.
Cities like Beijing, Mexico and Johannesburg top the global poll of the worst traffic in the world.
However, it is a matter of
great interest that Delhi is the 5 th worst city in the world.
Traffic jams
have led to mental frustration
among people. Motorists are left
fuming which leads to road
rage. Thus, it explains the anger
and chaos on roads.
The infrastructure of a city
also plays a major role in deciding its traffic conditions. Delhi usually faces
a huge traffic congestion as and when it rains because the city does not have a
proper drainage system.
Every family member
here owns a car. Car pooling
or travelling by metro rail
should be encouraged.
Traffic wastes time and fuel,
and increases environmental
pollution.
4.Global warming
A warning for
mankind:
Several points which could be taken
into consideration while framing this answer are:
Global Warming is an increase in the
earth's atmospheric temperatures
widely due to an increase in the greenhouse
effect resulting especially from pollution.
Global warming is melting of ice because of the
increase in the extent of carbon
dioxide. If due to global warming all the ice melts into water, the water level on earth increases
and submerge the land.
Another major cause of global
warming is deforestation.
Sea levels are expected to rise. Less
fresh water will be available.
Species that depend on one another
may become extinct.
Natural calamities
and disaster would occur. Hurricanes and other storms are likely to become
stronger.
Heat waves would lead to death of
millions of people all around the world.
While the idea of swimming in a
warmer ocean is pleasant to most human beings, increasing ocean
temperatures could cause serious ecological damage.
We all as a citizen of the country
should join hands with the Government to control the pollution.
4.Computer
A computer is an electronic machine that is able to take input, make changes to the information, and
give output. Computers have existed for much of human history. Examples of early computers are the astrolabe and
the abacus.
Modern computers are very different from early computers. They are now very powerful machines that are able
to do billions of calculations every
second. Most people have used a personal computer in their home or at work. Computers are useful for
many different fields, Some of the examples are controlling traffic lights, vehicle computers,
security systems, Washing machines and Digital Televisions.
A person (called a user)
can control a computer by giving comands. Some ways of controlling a computer
are with a keyboard, mouse, buttons, touch screen. Some very new computers
can also be controlled with voice
commands or hand gestures.
Computers can be designed
to control factories, which
in the past were controlled by humans. They are also used in homes for listening to music, reading the news,
and writing.
A computer has both
hardware and software. Hardware is the physical parts the computer is made of -
for example keyboard, mouse, screen, tower, and the circuits inside it. Software
is the computer programs. The software uses the hardware and changes the
information as per the instructions and gives the output.
Many modern computers do
billions of calculations each second, they do not really "think".
They only follow the instructions in their software programs.
Computer programs are
designed or written by computer programmers. Today, most programmers
write programs using a programming language like C++, Java or BASIC.
These programming languages are more like the language you talk and write every
day. A program called a compiler translates
the user's instructions into binary code
and turns it into useful information
that a user can easily understand, and then the computer will understand the
instructions and do what is needed.
5.Cricket
My favorite
sport is Cricket. Cricket is a wonderful
game between the two teams. Each team has eleven players and two to
three substitutes. Out of eleven
players five to six players are bats men, and the rest are bowlers and fielders
and one wicket keeper. It is a team
game.
There are two
umpires between the two pitches and the third umpire sees the match through the video. The umpires
have to look at the bowlers and the batsmen playing and take proper decision to
declare the wickets, the wickets may be by catch,
run out or stamp out and as far as bowling is
concerned the umpires have to judge whether the bowls are wide, no ball
or a leg by etc., when the umpire
is not able to judge some of the wickets then umpire would signal to the third
umpire and the third umpire will declare after cross checking.
There are three forms of cricket test match, 50-50 and T-20.
One day match has 50 overs in the beginning of the first inning the skippers from both the teams are present for the toss. Winning skipper is given the choice to select bating /bowling. The first Inning is played for 50 overs or till all the Ten bats men are out and then after an hour’s break the second inning follows and the second bating team has to chase the score. In case the team is not able to complete the target then the first bating team is considered the winner.
The winning team is then awarded with the trophy and the Man of the Match award is given to selected player from the winning team. Player who has performed well throughout the game is awarded Man of the Match.
In this game the score depends on the runs the bats men takes, if the ball touches the boundary line then it is considered four runs and when the batsmen hits the ball out of the boundary line in full toss then it is considered six runs. The two bats men will run between the pitch.
Skipper role is to lead the team and guide the fielder. He also speaks to the umpires on behalf of the players. Skipper is also present in the team selection. Skipper has a key role.
Next player is Wicket Keeper, wicket keeper also plays a key role. He is placed behind the stamps. He should be very cautious and alert. In case if he misfields, the ball may directly go to the boundary and the bating team will get the score. He cannot change the fielding place like other players.
Bowlers also play key role to the team. There are fast bowlers, spin bowlers etc. If he bowls a loose ball the bats men will have advantage of hitting sixes and fours. They should try to take wickets at the earliest to avoid increase in the run rate. If the bowler bowls towards the back side of the batsmen or crosses the pitch, then it is considered a wide/ a no ball, in this case the batting team is given one ball and run extra.
Bats men also plays a key role in the team. In each team at least 5 to 6 bats men are there, or in some team all the ten to eleven players are good batsmen. They are ones who help the team get a better score which would be difficult to chase.

6.Indian Politics
SAMPLE 1
India is
the largest democracy in the world.
India has
the biggest number of people with franchise rights and the largest number of
political parties, which take part in election campaign. In the
1996 national elections, almost 600 million people voted and an average of 26
candidates competed for each of the 543 territorial constituency
seats.
Elections
are held at different levels. The two major election levels are at national
level, after which the national government is established
and at state level after which the state government
is established. Elections are also held for city, town and
village councils.
There are
different political issues in Indian politics. Some are national level and some
regional level. Some demand autonomous states within the Indian
Union, while the others demanded to be independent from India. India is
the largest democracy in the world, it is:
·
for the
people
·
of the
people
·
by the
people
SAMPLE
2
Politics in India
takes place within the framework
of a constitution.
India is a parliamentary democratic republic in which the President of India is head of state and the Prime Minister of India is the
head of government. India follows the dual
policy, i.e. double government which consists of the union at the centre and states at the periphery. The constitution defines the powers and limitations of both central
and state governments, it is written, rigid and supreme, i.e.
laws of the nation must conform to it. There is provision for Upper House, i.e. Rajya Sabha, which represent the states of the Indian federation
and a lower house i.e. Lok Sabha, that represents the
people of India as a whole. Indian constitution is headed by the Supreme Court to adhere and protect the constitution and to settle disputes between the centre and the states or between
the states, it can also nullify
any central or state laws if they are against the constitution.
The
governments are formed through elections held every five years. India had its first
general election in
1951, which was dominated by Indian National
Congress, and went on to dominate the successive elections.
In1977,
the first non-Congress government
was formed for the first time in independent India. The 1990s saw the end of Single Party domination and rise of
Coalition Governments.
8.
Accident I saw
Last Sunday I saw an accident. It is still
fresh in my mind. A child was trying to cross the
road. A car came from the opposite
direction. The driver tried to save the
child. But a bus, coming from the opposite direction ran into the car.The driver of the bus had only minor injuries. The car driver
was seriously injured. People
gathered there. Some
passengers of the bus also got injuries
light. Some of them were bleeding
profusely. Some went to inform the police, seriously
injured persons were sent to hospital. Injured persons were given first aid. The bus driver was arrested. It was a very bad
accident. I shall not be able to forget it for a long time.
9.
Crime against women
The crimes in which only women are
victims and which are directed specifically against them are characterized as
"crime against women". Broadly, crimes against women are classified
under two categories:
(1) Crimes under the Indian Penal Code (IPC), which include seven crimes: (i) rape, (ii) kidnapping and abduction, (iii) dowry deaths, (iv) torture
physical and mental (v) molestation, and (vi) sexual harassment, and (vii) importation of girls.
(2) Crimes under Special and Local Laws (SLL), which include seventeen
crimes, of which the important ones are: (i) immoral traffic, (ii) dowry
prohibition, (iii) committing
Sati, and so on.
Narrowly, the term 'violence' has been applied to
"physically striking an
individual and causing injury".
It may involve actual hitting,
verbal abuse or psychological stress and suffering".
'Violence' must be recognized as a human phenomenon in as much as
it consists of an act of one person which encroaches
upon the freedom of
another.
Crime against women is asking for
anything that, she does not want to give of her own free will and which causes her either physical injury or emotional trauma or both".
Thus,
rape, abduction, kidnapping, murder (all cases of criminal violence), dowry
death, wife battering, sexual abuse, and/or an elderly woman (all cases of
domestic violence) and eve-teasing, forcing wife/daughter-in-law to go for
feticide, forcing a young widow to commit sati, etc. (all cases of social
violence), are issues which affect a large section of society.
10. Information Technology (IT Industry)
This Industry is the backbone of a
country’s
Information technology (IT) is the application of computers and telecommunications
equipment to store, retrieve, transmit and manipulate
data, often in the
context of a business. The
term is commonly used as a synonym for computers and computer networks. Several industries are associated with information
technology, like software, electronics, Internet, telecom
equipment, e-commerce and computer services.
Humans have been storing, retrieving,
manipulating and communicating information but the term information
technology first appeared in1958
article published in the Harvard Business
Review.
This field broadly has two main
domains- Software and Infrastructure management services ( IMS ).
Software deals with computer programs and languages like Java, c++ and so
on, whereas IMS deals with
the maintenance of hardware
and the communication between two or
more computers. It is a globally
growing industry with lot of scope, as every industry
has upgraded itself. The future of this industry has ample opportunities for youngsters
11. Diwali
Diwali is a festival
of lights. It is one of the most loved festivals of the Hindus. It is generally
celebrated in the month of October or
November. It is celebrated because it was on this day that Lord Rama returned to his
kingdom after 14 years of exile
along with his wife Sita and
brother Laxman after killing
the demon, Ravana. About a
week before the festival, people start cleaning
and decorating their house with paper
cuttings and lights
everybody buys new clothes, exchange sweets and make
varieties of sweets on diwali. In the evening, people light up earthen lamps and candles to illuminate
their houses. Lord Ganesha
and Goddess Lakshmi, the
Goddess of wealth is worshipped on Diwali. Children light fire crackers and sparklers in their home.
Everyone enjoys this festival very much. It brings joy and happiness to all.
12. My last birthday
I will never forget
my last birthday. It was on
……………., when I was going to
be 18 years old. That day was
very special and the best birthday that, because there were many things that made
my last birthday important for me.
That day I woke up by 6:00 am, because my parents sang me a special song and they gave me some presents, and my parents gave my many hugs, then my cousin arrived to my house and she gave me a box of chocolates and a CD of my favorite singer, it was the most beautiful present and for this reason I was very happy that morning.
Well in the afternoon many of my friends called me and wished me and told me, you are old, now you can do many things that you could not do, for example you can drive, vote, etc...". These words made me very happy. But I was a little sad, because my best friend did not call me and I thought that she had forgotten my birthday.
I was with my parents at 6:00 pm when I received a message, that was from my best friend. She told me that she had a surprise for me and requested me to come to her house.
At night I reached her house, she opened the door, and all my friends were inside with many flowers and balloons, after all my friends gave me a big hug and they sang me a special and beautiful song that I liked and it was my favorite song. Finally, we ate cake, danced and enjoyed a lot.
For all these reasons I will always remember my last birthday.

13. Unemployment
Unemployment is one of the major
problem faced by many developed and developing countries. A person needs to be
employed in order to satisfy his needs. A person, who has the capacity to work
but refuses or fails to obtain work, can be referred to as unemployed.
Most urban unemployment in
developing countries like India takes the form of underemployment, in which the
people are obliged to undertake any available economic activity, however poorly
paid and unproductive. In India, finding employment in the urban setting can be
extremely challenging. Networks of relatives and friends are used to help seek
jobs. Millions of Indians are unemployed or underemployed. This is also one of
the reason of Brain Drain and increasing criminal activities.
Unemployment does have negative
effects on individuals and society. It is possible to lower the unemployment
through Government policies or individual actions.
Government policies are generally
seen as the best way to combat unemployment. Government can create jobs by
supporting education and vocational training. At the end I would like to say
government are one approach to solving unemployment, but individuals can help
themselves.
14. My Hometown
Recently I visited my hometown in
Uttrakhand, village Dhamund after few years of hectic stressful life in the
city. The village is in the Garhwal hills and is exactly in the middle of
Devprayag and Pauri. Amazing weather, amazing sights, panoramic views, pure
mineral water from nature's lap and plenty of Oxygen to energize one's soul and
heart. One just feels like relaxing, relaxing and relaxing...especially under
the shade of huge Pine, Peepal and Mango trees.
I love this place and long for spending all of my time here. Village is surrounded by scenic beauty and motor able distance of Rishikesh, Devprayag, Pauri, Shreekhal, Khirsu, new Pauri etc. Devprayag offers opportunity to take a dip in the holy sangam (merger point of river Alaknanda which flows quitely and Bhagirathi which rushes in transforming into river Ganges which passing through the Rishikesh and Haridwar). Pali Khal and Sabderkhal are the small town markets which sells everything needed for ones living. Brief walk from Pali Khal towards Pauri gives a breathtaking view of Himalyan range (in clear weather). The cold wind gushes and envelopes you making you feel heavenly. At Pali Khal you can experience the beautiful sunset everyday...golden sun kissed mountains! Shreekhal is also a place to be in....it is quite and serene offering a fantastic 360 degree view of high hills and tons of mint fresh air. The road from Pali Khal to Pauri or Shreekhal is newly laid offering a smooth ride like a butter surface.
The place is great if you are looking for peace, seclusion, panoramic view, great all heal weather, recuperation, zero stress....head to this part of Garhwal....unexploited, few people and more for less. Days are pleasant nights are cold....One never feels tired....good sleep, jungle walks, hill walks ascending descending into the mountain tops and foothills, fresh air and pollution free environment.....jungles and much more! Star gazing in the sheer darkness of night is a thrilling experience...one can see the twinkling in the hills also when all the village homes switch on their lights....it is likes stars have descended into the mountains. Nights are very quiet and very dark...sound waves travel fast and people can hear you even from a distance…slightest of noises can be easily heard. Sitting out in the night and seeing the meals being cooked in a pure organic way with gup-shup (gossiping) with your near and dear ones is a perfect way to unwind and experience the nature! This is a true lap of nature which comforts ones soul.
I am proud to belong to Uttrakhand.....I love the Devbhumi (place of God)

The name of my home town is Dhaka.
It is situated in Bangladesh. It is the largest city as well as the capital
city of Bangladesh.
The city was explored during the
twelfth century. People believe that Dhaka was named after the construction of
Goddess Dakeshwari’s temple. This temple was built by Raja Babal Sen. Dhaka is
covered under the monsoon climatic zone. It is the world’s leading producer of
jute and rice. It is a place for various industries such as food processing
industries (mainly rice milling) & textiles industries (mainly cotton, jute
and muslin).
Apart from that many other consumer
goods are also produced here. Dhaka is a land of a large Muslim community. The
city has more than seven hundred historic buildings and mosques. The University
of Dhaka (established in 1921) & various other museums and technical
schools are also located here.
Dhaka had various benefits in terms
of for higher & specialized education, commerce, trade & employment.
Dhaka attracts various people from different parts of Bangladesh. The fight for
independence and human rights for Bangladesh starts from this city itself
during in 1971.
In 1952 scholars of University of
Dhaka fought for the major language “Bengali”. Many of them ended up losing
their lives to fight with the government bodies. Based on these events every
year 21st Feb is celebrated as “International Mother
Language Day” in Bangladesh.
Dhaka is commonly known as the mega
city in the entire world. Because of its huge crowd Dhaka is considered as
highly populated city in comparison with the major metro cities in the world.
Few years ago the residents of Dhaka were ranked as the happiest people of the
world.
The city is known for
its people who are quiet social, friendly and believes in happy living. To meet
the growing needs of the local residents it is seen that day by day the numbers
of nursing homes are seen to be increasing tremendously throughout the city. We
enjoy all the festivals throughout the year with utmost joy. I welcome you to
visit my city ones. I am sure you will also start loving Dhaka soon after you
visit it.
