What is a Clause? (उपवाक्य क्या है?)
Clause (उपवाक्य) शब्दों के उस समूह को कहते हैं, जो एक बड़े वाक्य का भाग हो तथा जिसका अपना एक कर्ता (subject) तथा एक finite verb हो।

इन वाक्यों में I know, He said तथा He taught मुख्य वाक्य (Main clauses) हैं तथा Ashok is your friend; You love Manoj; The earth is round, and The sun rises in the east उपवाक्य (Subordinate clauses) हैं।

वाक्य तीन प्रकार के होते हैं

Simple sentences (साधारण वाक्य) – इसमें one subject + one verb (finite) + one phrase या clause होता है।
Complex sentence (जटिल वाक्य) – इसमें एक मुख्य वाक्य (Main or Principal clause) तथा एक उपवाक्य – आश्रित उपवाक्य (Subordinate clause) होता है।
Compound sentences (संयुक्त वाक्य) – इसमें एक Principal clause तथा एक Co – ordinate clause (समकक्षी) होता है।

Functions Of Noun Clause (Noun Clause के कार्य)

(1) Subject of the verb, जैसे –

What he said was true.
Whom Soni loves dies soon.
That he will succeed is certain.
What he said was very strange.
Why he came here is not clear.
When she left the town is a mystery.

Note – यदि कोई clause Principal clause से पहले आता है तो वह subject to the verb का कार्य करता है

(2) Object of the Verb

जैसे –

He said that he was a good boy.
I know that you will pass.
I know why he is absent.
Have you heard what has happened?
Lata said that she knew the answer.

Note – clause Principal clause at 31161 Bit Principal clause से बाद में ‘क्या’ लगाने पर उत्तर मिलता हो तो वह object to the verb का कार्य करता

(3) Object to the Preposition;

जैसे –

You should not rely on what he says.
Listen to what the teacher says.
I am not impressed by what he did.
Please attend to what the child says.

(4) A complement to the Verb

Note –

Noun clause सदैव हिन्दी के ‘कि’ शब्द से आरम्भ होता है।
यदि Noun clause Assertive वाक्य है, तो Conjunction ‘that’ लगाते हैं।
यदि Subordinate clause प्रश्नवाचक है, तो Conjunction that’ नहीं आता। प्रश्नसूचक शब्द (what, which, why) आदि से Noun clause को जोड़ते हैं।
Main clause Assertive तथा Noun clause प्रश्नवाचक है, तो वाक्य के अन्त में प्रश्नवाचक चिन्ह (?) नहीं लगाते हैं।
यदि Principal तथा Noun clause दोनों ही प्रश्नवाचक हैं, तो प्रश्नवाचक चिन्ह (?) वाक्य के अन्त में लगाते हैं।
यदि Principal clause Present Tense में हो, तो Noun clause किसी भी Tense में हो सकता है।
यदि यह पता न चले कि कोई clause Noun clause है या नहीं, तो Noun clause के स्थान पर something रखकर देखते हैं यदि पूरा अर्थ निकले तो clauses निश्चित रूप से Noun clause है। जैसे I knew that Harendra would come. यदि that Harendra would come के स्थान पर something रखो तो वाक्य बनेगा I knew something इसका अर्थ निकलता है, अतः यह Noun clause है।

2. Adjective Clause

Adjective clause एक उपवाक्य है, जो किसी अन्य उपवाक्य की संज्ञा या सर्वनाम के सम्बन्ध में विशेषण का कार्य करता है। यह प्रायः किसी Relative Pronoun या Relative Adverb द्वारा प्रारम्भ किया जाता है। किन्तु इसे Relative Pronoun या Relative Adverb के बिना भी बनाया जा सकता है।
Adjective clause सदैव Noun clause में आए हुए Noun या Pronoun की विशेषता बताता है, अतः इससे पहले Noun या Pronoun का आना अति आवश्यक है।
सामान्यतः यह Clause Relative Pronoun या Relative Adverb (who, whom, why, where, that) से आरम्भ होता है।
जब यह व्यक्ति को qualify करता है या विशेषता बताता है, तो यह Relative Pronoun who, whom तथा whose से आरम्भ होता है।
जब यह किसी thing (वस्तु या छोटे जानवर) को qualify (विशेषता) करता है, तो यह which से आरम्भ होता है।
जब यह व्यक्ति तथा वस्तु (Person as well as thing), सजीव तथा निर्जीव (Living as well as non – living, Person as well as animal), व्यक्ति व जानवर Male and female (स्त्रीलिंग एवं पुल्लिंग) दोनों को साथ – साथ qualify करे, तो Relative pronoun that का प्रयोग करते हैं जैसे –
- The boy and the girl that you beat are my own children.
- The boy and his cow, that crossed the field were turned out.
- The boy and his dog, that had entered the house are yours.
यदि Main clause में Superlative degree, या all, any, same, only, nothing, none, those, आदि शब्द आए हों या Principal clause में Interrogative Pronoun का प्रयोग हुआ हो, तो Adjective clause that से आरम्भ होता है, जैसे –
- Man is only animal that can talk.
- This is the best girl that won the prize. (Superlative degree)
- This is same book that I learned.
- What was the answer that he gave?
यदि पहले (Main clause) में same या such का प्रयोग हुआ हो तो Adjective clause ‘as’ से शुरू करते हैं।
जब Adjective clause समय प्रकट करे तो when से; स्थान के लिए where से; कारण के लिए why से तथा तरीका (Manner) के लिए how से आरम्भ करते हैं।
जब Adjective clause किसी व्यक्ति या वस्तु को Negative sense में qualify करता हो तो इसे But से आरम्भ करते हैं।

Note –
(1) कभी – कभी Relative Pronoun या Relative Adverb जो Adjective clause के आरम्भ में प्रयोग किए जाते हैं, हटाए भी जा सकते हैं,

जैसे –
(a) I am the monarch of all I survey.
(All के बाद that हटाया गया)
(b) Reap the things you sow.
(Things के बाद which हटाया गया)

(2) Adjective clauses के सभी connectives (Relative Pronoun) का हिन्दी प्रथम अक्षर ‘ज’ होता है;

Active and Passive Constructions

1. ACTIVE और PASSIVE में अन्तर
Verb की दो Voices होती हैं Active Voice और Passive Voice. Active voice में कर्ता प्रधान होता है और Passive voice में कर्म प्रधान होता है,

जैसे –
ActiveHari killed the snake. Passive – The snake was killed by Hari.
चूँकि वाक्य में कर्ता प्रधान शब्द होता है इसलिये पहले वाक्य में Hari, जो काम करने वाला है, प्रधान शब्द है और दूसरे वाक्य में snake, जो काम करने वाला नहीं है, अपितु कर्म है, प्रधान शब्द है।

दूसरे वाक्य में Hari प्रधान शब्द नहीं है। यह तथ्य इस बात से भी स्पष्ट हो जाता है कि इस शब्द को वाक्य से हटाने पर भी वाक्य पूर्ण बना रहेगा –
The snake was killed.

किन्तु पहले वाक्य में Hari नहीं हटाया जा सकता है।

Tense को हिन्दी में काल कहते हैं जिसका अर्थ है–समय। अत: Tense (काल) हमें यह बताता है कि सम्बन्धित क्रिया का कार्य किस समय सम्पन्न हुआ। इस प्रकार Tense क्रिया के समय का बोध कराता है। Tense (काल) को तीन भागों में विभाजित किया जाता है –

Present Tense (वर्तमान काल),
Past Tense (भूतकाल),
Future Tense (भविष्यत् काल)।

इनमें से प्रत्येक को पुनः चार भागों में विभाजित किया जाता है। इस प्रकार Tenses (काल) बारह होते हैं

Past Indefinite Tense (सामान्य भूतकाल)
Future Indefinite Tense (सामान्य भविष्यत् काल)
Present Continuous Tense (चालू वर्तमान काल)
Past Continuous Tense (चालू भूतकाल)
Future Continuous Tense (चालू भविष्यत् काल)
Present Perfect Tense (सम्पूर्ण वर्तमान काल)
Past Perfect Tense (सम्पूर्ण भूतकाल)
Future Perfect Tense (सम्पूर्ण भविष्यत् काल)

1. The Unemployment Problem [2009, 12, 18]

The Main Reason – Unemployment results when there are more job seekers and less jobs. What are the reasons of its origin and growth? Well, the major reason is our rapidly growing population. Since 1950 our population has grown two and a half times but our economic growth, which creates jobs, could not keep pace with it. Hence, unemployment, which was a problem even in 1950, has acquired gigantic1 proportions and requires some drastic2 measures otherwise it may go out of hand.

The Nature of the Problem – As unemployment is directly linked to population growth, its in-depth analysis may indicate the nature of the problem as well as help in identifying the measures needed to deal with it.

When we look at the pattern of population growth we find that it is growing faster in the rural areas resulting in (a) bigger landless families forcing migration towards town for employment mostly as unskilled workers, and (b) dividing land-holdings into unviable entities resulting in underemployment of youth who need self-employment opportunities.

In the urban areas, though it is not growing that fast, unemployment results from defective educational planning. Our educational system is producing far more matriculates as well as graduates in sciences and humanities who have very little employment potential. Graduates in commerce and agriculture and information technology have better employment potential and there isn’t much unemployment in this group.

Measures to Mitigate it – In the light of the above, the following measures may go a long way in mitigating3, if not eradicating, the problem. For the rural sector a two pronged attack’1′ is required. Projects for infrastructure development leading to industrial development creating jobs for the unskilled workers coming from the landless families. And for the other group, as they would have some money to invest, efforts should be made to promote cottage and village industries.

For the youth of the urban areas, our educational system should be reorganised so as to provide better employable youth. This would need creating more and better opportunities for technical and vocational education.

[1. विशाल। 2. कठोर। 3. कम करना। 4. दो तरफ हमला।]

2. Advantages and Disadvantages of Television
Or
TV as a Medium of Education
Or
Educational Value of Television [2012]

Introduction – On September 13, 1959, AIR set up an experimental television service in India. This was the beginning of the television era’ in our country. The experiment was a success. The TV centres have been set up all over the country, in all the States and in big numbers. There are now TV sets in the cities as well as in the villages. The credit goes to late Smt. Indira Gandhi for spreading TV service so widely.

Advantages – There are mhny advantages of the TV services. The most important ones may be mentioned here.

(a) Education – It can play an important role in furthering the cause of education. It can assist2 teachers to a great extent. What they teach in the classes can be reinforced on the TV. Even additional knowledge can be imparted. The students also retain easily the information received on it because of its visual aid. Television viewing does not demand the strain and discipline needed in reading books. Moreover, dull and dreary things become interesting when viewed and heard on the TV. Thus, Television can vitalize teaching a good deal. For, learning through the eye helps remembering things better.

(b) General knowledge – Besides the students, people in general can benefit from Television. Since it provides words with pictures and sound effects, its programmes are as interesting as cinema-films. It is definitely a better medium than the radio which reproduces only the sound. Thus, the TV can teach people without straining them. It broadcasts messages, it discusses their typical problems, it informs them about national and international happenings. In one word, it keeps the people well informed on all important matters. It also pushes them towards modernization.

(c) Entertainment – Television is perhaps the easiest and the cheapest means of entertainment. It considerably reduces the number of our visits to cinema houses, which is a costly affair. What is there in a cinema house that we cannot enjoy at home with a TV set? Sitting on a sofa we watch along with other members of our family a film, a dramatic play, a mushaira, kavisammelan, various kinds of witty and informative competitions, and so ’ on and so forth, who failed to enjoy the ‘Saas Bhi Kabhi Bahu Thi’ series?

Disadvantages – But it does not mean that the gift of television is all joy and profit. It is attended also by its own disadvantages.

(a) Bad effect on the eyesight – First and foremost long, continuous watching the TV is harmful to the eye, it weakens the eyesight. It is believed that watching the colour TV is more injurious. Watching the TV for long hours is bound to overstrain4 the eye.

(b) Waste of time – All the TV programmes are not good or profitable for the people. But once the TV is on, we do not care to switch it off whether we enjoy the running programme or not. Careless of our valuable time we keep on sitting in front of our TV set. We sometimes forget to do our most important work.

(c) Neglect of duty – TV watching also causes neglect of duty in the case of children and parents. At the cost of their study the students want to watch the TV. They delay going to bed. And when they go to bed late they naturally rise late, which is a bad habit. They do not like to miss day long matches, serials and many other purely entertaining shows. This is also true of the elder people. They find it easier to cancel their visit to a sick friend than to miss their favourite serial. If a visitor comes, nobody talks to him, he is forced to watch the film running on the TV.

Conclusion – These are some of the most important advantages and disadvantages. In fact the television is not bad in itself. The viewers need self-discipline5. They should make a judicious use of this great gift of science, like any other gift of science.

[1. युग। 2. मदद करना। 3. आधुनिकीकरण। 4. जोर देना। 5. आत्म अनुशसन।]

3. The Value of Games and Sports [2009,18]
Or
Importance of Games and Sports [2010,11,13,16]
Or
Advantages of Games and Sports [2017]

Introduction – Games and sports are an important part of education. They help in the development of the physique and mind of the student. A sound body possesses a sound mind. If we are weak and sick we cannot have fertile1 brain. Games and sports keep us healthy. They keep us active, make us smart.

Physical and Mental Education – Gandhiji said, “Physical training should have as much place in curriculum as mental training.” Mere bookish knowledge would not lead to proper development of a personality. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Mere studies would not suffice. Similarly, mere sports won’t do. The two should be blended in a suitable proportion2 so that the students can have the best of them. They should not only develop the mind but also the body. Both are essential for a wholesome personality.

Other Benefits – Games and sports do not merely keep us healthy and physically fit, they also inculcate in young people the duty, of loyalty. These qualities can be summed up in a word ‘sportsmanship’. The first and the foremost thing that games teach us is to take victory and defeat alike. In every game, there are two parties. One wins and the other loses. The winners need not be over-zealous and the loser ones should not get asperated. Both the parties should greet each other heartily after the game. Secondly, games and sports teach us discipline. Every player must obey his or her captain.

He has to play obeying all the rules of the games. He has also to abide by the decision of the referee or umpire. Thirdly, games broaden our outlook. The players need have no bias. They should treat other players alike. The players ought not to differentiate between one another on the basis of nationality, caste, creed or colour. The games promote international brotherhood and affection amongst the people of the world. Thus, they promote world peace too.

International Appeal – Games are beneficial not only to players; they are equally beneficial to the public at large. When a match is being played, spectators3 also enjoy it. They become one with the game and in a way take active part in it. Besides enjoying the game, they learn many things from them. Radio and TV have increased the number of people taking interest in games. Nowadays, people in any part of the world can enjoy listening to running commentaries of matches on radio or watching them on the Television.

Value in Student Life – Games and sports have great value in student’s life. The foundation4 for a virtuous life is laid in school. If at an early age a student develops the taste for studies and sports in a proper way, he can become an ideal citizen in his later life. The sports arena teaches many things to the students. It gives him discipline. It develops his sportsman spirit, mental outlook, cheerful nature, sense of humor and strong physique – all these are important traits5 of a successful life. If a student studies seriously and diligently and still takes part in sports and games he would make an ideal personality.

4. The Use of Computers in Modern Age [2016]
Or
Educational Value of Computers [2013]
Or
Advantages of Computers in Our Daily Life [2017]
Or
Role of Computers in School Education [2014]

Introduction – The computer is the gift of the 20th century. In 1947, India got independence and the world got the first computer called Electronic Delayed Storage and Calculation [EDSAC]. It was fully automatic. It could store data and instructions and execute the stored instructions. Though much progress has been made in the computer technology, we are yet only in the midst of the computer revolution.

Its popularity – Though the history of the computer is very recent; there is hardly any sphere of human acti vity where computers are not being used. The impact of the computer revolution is being felt everywhere and it is bringing many changes in our society.

What is a computer? – To a layman, a computer is an electronic machine with mystical powers, a superhuman that can perform any job and do anything that was impossible before. But, in fact, a computer is much like any other machine used by man. Like any other machine it has its limitations and, like any other machine, it is an obedient servant of man and can do wonders with the help of human intelligence and imagination.

The basic function of a computer – There are three basic functions that a computer can perform. They are :
(i) arithmetic operations – addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of values,
(ii) comparison operations – testing of relationships of two values, and
(iii) storage and retrieval operations – storing and reproducing of values when required. A computer performs these operations at a very high speed and for a very long time, maintaining high level of accuracy, without fatigue. These features make a computer unique and distinctly superior to other machines capable of performing such functions.

Basic components – A computer system has at least three basic components, namely
(a) input device,
(b) central processing unit [CPU], and
(c) output device.

The input device helps the user to give data and instructions to the CPU. The CPU performs the computation and thus is the real computer – the brain of the system. On the output device the computer prints the end results of the data processing.

Types of computers – Various types of computers are being used depending upon the purpose and data processing requirements. In terms of size, computers may be classified in three broad categories :
(i) Main frame, the biggest one with very large memory used only in big organizations,
(ii) Mini computer, the smaller one, and
(iii) Micro computer, the smallest one.

Computers can also be classified on the basis of the type of input they accept:
(i) Digital Computers which accept input in the form of digits,
(ii) Analog Computers which accept physical quantities as their input,

e.g., pressure of air and water, temperature, etc. Robot is a good example of this type.

Conclusion – The development of computer technology is, at present, in its fourth generation where it has witnessed many breakthroughs. It has made computers smaller, cheaper, more efficient, more friendly to the user and easier to maintain. However, this is not the end. Very serious efforts are being made to increase the storage capacity of computers at a substantially reduced cost. The fifth-generation computers, which are about to come in a very big way, shall have the artificial intelligence that shall approach quite close to human intelligence.

Science and Technology – Boon or Curse [2012,13,18]

Introduction – Science in itself is neither good nor bad. Its use determines1 its character. If it is used for constructive1 purposes, it is good; it is a good servant. If it is used for destructive1 purposes, it is bad; it is a bad master.

A good servant – Many are the gifts of science, which have made life, happy and comfortable. It has given us electricity, the wonder of wonders, cheap and quick transport and countless time and labor-saving devices. It has helped progress in medicine and surgery. It has helped the farmer grow more food. It has relieved human suffering in hundreds of ways. It has brought in the age of plenty and prosperity. These and many other things show that science is a good servant.

A warning – Nobody should question the importance of science. But we should not shut our eyes to the harm that science does or can do. We should always remember that science is meant for man, not man for science. Material progress should be accompanied4 by moral and spiritual progress.

A bad master – If foolish and power-hungry men control the knowledge of science, science becomes a bad master. In their hands science may cause suffering and destruction. It may help colonialism5 and imperialism6 It may keep backward nations in slavery. It may cause mass destruction through nuclear weapons or rockets. It may cause mass poisoning and germ warfare. Then science will no more be a good servant but a bad master.

Conclusion – The truth about science is that, like fire, science is a good servant but a bad master. We should be careful to put science to good uses only. We should remember that science exists7 for man; man does not exist for science.

6. A Great Indian Leader: Mahatma Gandhi [2009]
Or
The Man I admire most [2013]
Or
The Person I like most [2014]
Or
The Person Whom I Respect most [2017]

Introduction – “Some men are bom great, some achieve greatness and some have greatness thrust upon them.” Our beloved leader Mahatma Gandhi belongs to the second category1 of people, that is, he is one of those who achieved greatness by their own effort. He was not only the Father of Indian nation but one of the greatest figures of world history.

His early life – He was bom on October 2, 1869 at Porbandar. After his matriculation, he was sent to England to study law. After a brief practice in India he went to South Africa to plead a legal case.

In South Africa – He was greatly shocked to find Indians suffering from many disabilities in South Africa. The ill-treatment2 given to Indians there hurt his patriotic feelings. He himself was called a ‘Coolie Barrister’. He had read Thoreau and Tolstoy. From them he had learned the doctrine3 of civil disobedience and passive resistance. On these principles he started a peaceful campaign4 against the Government of South Africa. He was sent to jail.

His fights for India’s freedom – Sometime after his release he returned to India. He had tested the mighty force of his weapon of civil disobedience and passive resistance. He applied the same weapon against the injustice of the English rule in India. He was shocked and horrified5 by the massacre of Jallianwala Bagh. In 1920, he started the Non-cooperation Movement which shook India from end to end. His movement attracted worldwide attention. He became the leader of the Indian National Congress. Besides many top ranking IndiAnswer:the masses joined his movement. Under his influence, a silent but powerful revolution took place in mental, social and political life of the country. His efforts for Indian independence were crowned with success in 1947.

His guiding principles – Truth and non-violence were the guiding principles of his life. He himself practiced as-well-as taught these principles to his people and to the world. He also preached6 the noble doctrine that the means should be as clean and pure as the end. The right end did not justify the use of wrong means. This he preached and this he himself practiced.

The last phase – India became free, but India was partitioned1 to Gandhiji’s great sorrow. He was very much pained at the communal riots that followed Independence. He died a martyr’s death when he was shot dead by a fanatic young man.

Conclusion – Not only India but the whole world was made poorer by Gandhiji’s death. His death was rightly mourned all over the world. Long will he live in the history of the world.

7. The Population Problem in India [2009]
Or
The Most Pressing Problem of Our-Life
Or
Any Current Problem in India [2013,17]

Introduction – The problem of population in India means the problem of over-population in the country. This problem is not peculiar to our country; it is a world-wide problem. But since ours is one of the most populous countries, its problem is the gravest’ one. In order to solve the problem we must think over the cause of problem and find out remedy or remedies for it. But, first let us know the size of the problem.

The size of the problem – India has about 15 percent of the world’s total population. That is, every seventh person in the world is an Indian. In
1971, India’s population was 54-81 crores,butby 1981 it rose to 68-38 crores. The annual increase in India’s population is estimated to be one crore and thirty lakhs of people. These figures show the seriousness of the population problem in our country.

Causes of the problem – The-causes of the increase in population are not far1 to seek.2. High birth rate and low death rate are two main causes. The development of modem medical science has led to a marked decline3 in death rate, many of even those diseases which were considered incurable4 are cured now. The decrease in death rate should have been accompanied by a decrease in birth rate to keep the population under control. This has not been so. The birth rate remains continuously high. The result is constantly rising population. Early marriages and unrestricted growth of families are also among causes of population explosion5.

Harms of over-population – Over-population is a curse because it gives birth to host6 of problems which adversely affect the quality of our life. With every rise in population we need more clothing, more houses, more schools, more hospitals and more jobs. The tremendous8 economic progress made by our country after the achievement of freedom in 1947 has failed to improve’the economic condition of our people. India is still a poor country. To make the condition worse, number of ill-fed, ill-clothed9, illiterate and unemployed people is increasing every day. The ever-increasing population and inadequate employment opportunities are throwing a large section of people below the poverty line. Why is it so? The simple answer is that our production and opportunities of employment fall too short of our rapidly rising population.

The remedy – In order to meet the challenge of over-population we can do only two things. One is to increase food supply and the other thing is that we should check the increase in population besides doing what we can do to increase production of necessaries of life.

Check or reduction in population can be achieved through Family Welfare Planning. It is noteworthy11 that.India was one of the first countries to realize the importance of family planning for general economic development. It started the ‘planning’ as long ago as 1952. But it has not yet been able to achieve the desired result. It needs to be practical and free of all politics and religious biases. It should be imposed12 rigorously13 and on all people irrespective14 of caste and creed. Persuasion would, of course, accompany compulsion.

Conclusion – Our population problem is a matter of top national priority15 and deserves all attention and action. Unless we reduce or control population, we are all going to suffer badly by the turn16 of this century.

8. Environment: The Problem of Pollution [2009]
Or
Impact of Pollution on our day to day life [2010]
Or
Pollution and Our Existence [2015]
Or
Pollution Problem : A Great Challenge [2018]

Introduction – Environment1 means all the surrounding conditions which influence the growth and development of life. The environment is composed of gases and substances1 which exist in a certain proportion. When, for any reason, one of the constituents increases or decreases the balance of the whole atmosphere is disturbed. This imbalance of the constituents3 is called pollution of the environment. The pollution4 is chiefly of two kinds – air pollution and water pollution.

Air pollution – Air pollution means loss of balance of proportion of oxygen, carbon dioxide and other gases which are found in the air. To be precise, when carbon dioxide increases and oxygen decreases in the air, air pollution take place. We all know the oxygen in the air is constantly being used up and turned into carbon dioxide when animals breathe and things bum. But nature has its own way to replace the used-up oxygen. The green leaves of all trees and plants absorb5 the carbon dioxide from the air and break it up into carbon and oxygen. The carbon is used to make starch and oxygen is released into the .atmosphere. That is how trees help to replace the used-up oxygen and maintain equilibrium6 in the environment.

Causes of air pollution – But the equilibrium in the environment is being constantly destroyed by man himself. Since long man has been cutting down trees and plants in order to use them as fuel and wood for building. This has resulted in deforestation1 leading to unbalanced or unhealthy environment. Thus, deforestation is the first cause of air pollution.

Another cause is too much use of motor-cycles, scooters, tempos, cars, buses, steamers and aeroplanes. They all burn oil or coal and add to the carbon dioxide in the air.

Yet another cause is the modem industrialization which has given and is giving birth to innumerable mills and factories. Their chimneys incessantly pour out poisonous gas and smoke which spoils the environment.

The effect of air pollution – Air pollution affects our health very badly. While we breathe, poisonous gas and smoke also enter our lungs along with oxygen. They cause diseases of lungs and heart. They cause even such incurable diseases as cancer.

Remedies – In order to prevent air pollution, we should first check deforestation and plant as many trees as we can. Secondly, mills and factories should be built away from human population and their chimnies should open high up in the sky. Finally, the use of coal should be replaced by electricity and solar energy.

Water pollution and its cause – The second kind of pollution of the environment is water pollution. Water gets polluted when gases, n.inerals and other substances, which exist in it, lose their due proportion. The desired proportion is disturbed mostly when such things as soap, soda, D.D.T., kerosene oil, poisonous medicines, injurious chemicals, and other impurities are poured into wells, rivers and lakes.

The effect of water pollution – Like air pollution, water pollution is also a great danger to our health. When polluted water is drunk, it causes such diseases as jaundice, typhoid, cholera and cancer. It may cause birth of disabled children.

Remedies – The dirty water should be cleaned by mechanical and other devices before it is poured into rivers and lakes. Dirty injurious rubbish8 should not be thrown into water sources. We should purify our drinking water by boiling and filtering it.

Conclusion – The environment is our sacred and invaluable heritage. Our very existence depends on it. It is, therefore, the duty of every man to keep the environment clean, pure and safe. We should set up environment clubs, ecological10 development camps, and organize seminars and symposiums with a view to protecting and developing human environment.

9. Quality Education at Primary Level [2015]

Introduction – Education is a very important factor in the life of people. Most of the people in India are illiterate. After independence, the attention of the government and our leaders was drawn towards this and several steps were taken to educate people.

Primary Education – In our country the condition of Primary Education is poor. Children are not sent to the schools. They are asked to help the family in the work of earning money. Work on fields, factories, construction of buildings etc. is taken from them. Poverty is the reason for this. The number of schools is also not sufficient. Good teaches are not available.

Importance of Primary Education – Primary Education is very important in our education system. It is the nursery where the children are reared as plants. As a building needs firm foundation in the same way the life of individual depends on primary education. The course and syllabus of primary classes is also not proper. There is a great variety in the structure of Indian society. There is no uniformity. There are several languages. The social and cultural structures are also different. The course and syllabus of primary classes should meet the future requirements of the society. The quality and syllabus should be better.

Dropping Problem – Several students leave their education in the middle way. The reasons are failures, illnesses the parents reluctance and nonavailability of the teachers. For this awareness among the people is needed. The teachers should take interest. They should understand the problems of students and make the school an attractive place for students.

Right to Education – On 1 st April 2010 the right of children to Free and Compulsory Education Act has been passed. The act makes it obligatory on the state to guarantee education and pnsure compulsory to admission of children. This act provides some measures to make it successful.

Conclusion – Well educated children are the backbone of society. Child is the future citizen. And on citizens depends the prosperity, progress and well being of the country.

10. An Election Scene

Introduction – An election scene is a common sight in a democratic country like India, where members of Parliament, Legislative Assemblies and local bodies are elected from time to time. They are elected by adult persons who are given the right to vote in public elections. We have laws for conducting elections. For examples, canvassing, which plays an important role in elections, has to be stopped a day before the election; voters are required to go to the fixed polling stations to register their votes.

The Polling Station – A polling station [or a polling booth] is a place where people go to register their votes. At a polling station the voters of only a particular constituency1 can cast their votes. Often a placard2 is exhibited outside the polling station, the constituency for which that station is meant.

Inside the booth a polling officer and his assistants do their work. When a voter comes in, an assistant traces out his name in the electoral roll. When he is satisfied with the identification of the voter, he puts a mark of indelible3 ink on the little finger of the voter. The voter then receives a ballot paper. He puts his signature on its counterfoil. With this’ ballot paper he is asked to go to a closed comer where a stamp and an ink pad are available. The voter stamps the ballot paper against the name of his candidate. Then he folds the ballot paper as required and puts it into the ballot box through a hole on its top and walks out. Nowadays Electronic Voting Machines [E. V. M.] have been introduced. Here you have to push a button and your vote is cast.

Outside the polling station – The main part of an election is accomplished5 inside the polling station. But its live6 and picturesque1 part is seen outside the booth. At a distance of 100 metres from the booth, agents of various candidates contesting election put up their tents. They issue identity slips to those voters who come to them. A volunteer of the particular agent helps the voter reach or enter the polling booth.

This area outside the polling station presents an exciting and . fascinating scene almost like that of a village fair. There are of course, neither merry-go-rounds nor giant wheels nor shops to attract women and children. Instead, we have the tents of polling agents; but they are decorated with colourful buntings8 which give atmosphere of a festive look9. There is hustle and bustle all round here. People, especially women, can be seen in their best clothes, flocking together10 talking and gesticulating11. Some tents have long rows of voters standing in front of them to receive identity cards. But there are also other tents which present a deserted look. To complete the show; there are also policemen posted at all strategic points to guide the crowd and maintain law and order.

Disputes – Sometimes disputes also break out. For example, the identity of a voter is questioned and it is an occasion for quarrel. In such a case, which is called “challenging the vote”, the Presiding Officer hears both the parties of the dispute and decides whether the voter is to cast vote or not. Sometimes a person impersonates12 a voter and casts vote in his place.

If he is caught red-handed he is handed over to the police for action.

Scenes of rowdyism13 – Sometimes great rowdyisms are enacted. The supporters of two contestants sometimes come to blows and sometimes even to bullets when one group or another indulges in mischief. The supporters or goondas of a losing candidate try to temper with a ballot box or run away with it.

Conclusion – On the whole an Indian election scene is a peaceful one, which is indeed, a great thing because India is a vast country with a huge number of voters.

11. Important of Newspaper [2016]
Or
Newspaper [2009,11]
Or
Power of the Press

Introduction – Newspaper is a powerful mass media. It plays a very important role in a democractic country. It helps people to form their opinion which is the backbone of democracy. Newspaper have proved that pen is more powerful than sword. They are a good means of expressing one’s thought.

Changing Role of Newspaper – Gone are the days when newspaper was read just to know the news. Its role was very narrow and limited. But today news is only a part of the newspaper. It provides classified news. There are different pages for different categories of news. We have separate pages for local news, international news, sport news, commercial news etc.

Knowledge and Entertainment – Newspapers give us both knowledge and entertainment. They publish articles on science, medicine, health, cookery, fashion etc. They also entertain us through short stories, jokes, articles, quiz etc. They publish interesting comic series, picture quiz etc., for children.

Career Guidance – Most of the newspaper publish very important career guidelines once or twice a week. They inform us about the different academic and vocational courses and competitive examinations. They help us to choose a suitable course and career.

Advertisement – Newspaper publish classified advertisements such as situations vacant, educational, matrimonial, sale and purchase of vehicles, property advertisement. Most of them are very useful. Matrimonials provide a wide choice of matches. ‘Situations Vacant’ column helps us to get a job.

Demerits – Newspapers have some demerits as everything else has. Some advertisements are false. They misguide and deceive the reader. Sometimes biased articles are published. They cause communal riots, hatred and disunity.

Conclusion – Healthy censorship removes these demerits to a great extent. The conscious reader cannot be misguided and deceived by yellow journalism.

12. The Festival You Like Most [2014,16]

Introduction – Diwali is a very’ nice festival of the Hindus. It often comes in the month of October or November every year. It is celebrated in the memory of Ram’s return to Ayodhya from forests after 14 years. The people of Ayodhya welcomed Lord Ram heartily. They decorated their houses with flowers. They lighted earthen lamps before their houses. Diwali is a remembrance of that day.

Preparations – Days before the people start preparations for this festival. People clean their houses completely. They whitewash them. The merchants paint their shops and set them. The market gets a new look.

How Celebrated – People buy new clothes and new dresses. They buy many things for this festival. Children buy crackers. Ladies buy sarees and material for preparing sweets. People give presents to friends and relatives. They send greeting cards to their far off friends and relatives. Main days of celebration of Diwali are three ‘Dhan Teras’, ‘Roop Chaudas’ and ‘Diwali’ on Amavasya day. In the evening ladies and children bum candles and lamps. Many electric bulbs of several colours are also lighted. The rows of lamps look very beautiful.

Worship of Goddess Laxmi – On this day, people worship Goddess Laxmi. They pray her for health, wealth and happiness for the whole year. Children let off fireworks. People eat sweets. They distribute ‘Prasad’ of Diwali. The rich and the poor enjoy Diwali. All classes of the society are happy. Diwali also marks the end of the year.

Importance – Diwali is an all-India festival. People of all parts of India and all communities celebrate it. It is a festival of national importance. It promotes national unity also.

For All People – All age groups of people enjoy celebration of Diwali. Children, youth and the old, gents and ladies feel freshness at the coming of Diwali. The rich and the poor all celebrate it as per their capacity.

Conclusion – Diwali is a very nice festival. People forget their differences. There are some bad customs too. Some people gamble and drink wine. This is not good. Some persons get injured during burning of crackers due to carelessness. However, Diwali brings happiness to every home in India.

13. The Problem of Terrorism in India [2014]

Introduction – Terrorism is a great danger to human civilisation. The whole world is faced with this problem and India is no exception1 to it. India has been facing terrorists in Jammu and Kashmir for long. The North-Eastern states including Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, parts of Bihar and Orissa are also faced with the same problem.

Various terrorist organisations are active and have their own demands and objectives. These organisations have been trained in terror tactics and are supported by other organisations in foreign countries.

Causes : The chief causes of terrorism include acute nationalism as exhibited by Hitler who promoted nationalist feelings among his countrymen and a hatred for others. Second is economic disparity? The charm for leading a luxurious life and be a part of high profile section of the society somehow urges them to make money at any cost. The third and the most important is communal disharmony. When people are discriminated’ on account of caste, colour, creed etc. they rise in resentment and opposition.

Need for Peace: India is a peace loving country. She was always tried to counter terrorism and establish world peace. There is a need to enforce the rule of law and punish the, guilty. Unnecessary delay in judicial process should also be avoided. There are some examples of terrorists who were punished rightly but after much delay.

Conclusion : Nations should also try to curb6 arms race. Energy resources should be used for peaceful purposes and not threatening weaker nations. And lastly to have wisdom to realise our purposes and fight the evil out with the increase in knowledge, power and resources.

All type of cleanliness is very necessary for our good health whether it is personal cleanliness, surrounding cleanliness, environment cleanliness, pet animal cleanliness or work place cleanliness [like school, college, office, etc]. We all should be highly aware about how to maintain cleanliness in our daily lives. It is very simple to include cleanliness in our habit. We should never compromise with cleanliness, it is as necessary as food and water for us. It should be practiced from the childhood which can only be initiated by each parent as a first and foremost responsibility.

Or
Write an article on “Importance of Trees/Forests with the help of the following input:
Useful for Human lives/causes for rain/usefulness for all creatures/ other importance/Need and value/celebration of Van Mahotsava.
Answer:

Grow More Trees

Trees existed on Earth before man. They are the refuge for birds, animals and even many tribals. They give us wood for fuel and furniture.

Fruits like apple, banana, mango grow on trees. Besides, they provide many herbs haying medicinal value. They bring rains and help to maintain ecological balance. They absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen during photosynthesis. They provide shade to animals, birds, human beings and protect them from sun and rain. They holdjsoil firmly, reduce soil erosion and thus prevent flood and draught. There are different kinds of trees like neem, mango, walnut, oak, bamboo, sesame, teak, eucalyptus etc.

It is very unfortunate that man has indulged in deforestation for his greed. This has disturbed ecological balance and resulted in extinction of rare species of birds, animals, plants, herbs. Thus, the need of hour is adoption of afforestation programme like Van Mahotsava coupled with environmental awareness drive. Judicious and eco-friendly strategies of industrialisation, mining, construction and other development-oriented activities should be adopted.

Answer:

Corruption—A Fast-Growing Malady

The country is facing the biggest problem these days in the form of corruption. In fact corruption is not a new phenomenon. It existed in ancient times also. There are examples of corruption after that also. It is unfortunate that corruption increased during licence system. The facility for the people was misused by some people of vested interest. Permit raj met the same fate. Instead of extending facilities to the people, it became a tool of earning money with some people. The situation today is very grim. Corruption is growing very fast these days. No department on section of life is untouched by it. Even officials and politicians are making easy money. They are misusing their authority and making money from all sides. As a result of this, the officials and politicians have assets beyond their own source of income. They have shot into prosperity overnight-through illegal means. It is not difficult to take action against corrupt people. But the government lacks will power. Thus the evil of corruption is fastly growing and is unstoppable.

3. With the help of the words given below, produce a write-up on the Advantages of Small Family : [2011]
Population growth, Problems of a large family, One or two children, Better facilities, Enjoy life.
Answer:

Advantages of a Small Family

As per the recent demographic figures, India’s current population is 121 crores and it is estimated that by 2050 India will be most populated country. This clearly indicates that India is over populated. It affects the economy and living standard adversely. It causes poverty and unemployment. Contrary to the belief of uneducated multitude, large families are burden. On the earning hands of a family. It is the moral and social responsibility of parents to provide good life, food, health, education and other facilities to their children and an increase in the number of family members means an increase in the cost of living and responsibilities.

With high cost of living, rising prices and unemployment it is advisable to have small family with one or two children. China too was faced with a similar problem but she was alarmed in time and resorted to preventive measures. People should understand that in a small family they can give better opportunities, care and attention to each child. They can fulfil their duty towards their family properly and lead a blissful life. And all this can happen if people are educated enough to plan ‘a small and happy family-’

4. Man—good, bad qualities/anger—bad quality/causes of anger/ evils of anger/anger to be avoided.
Answer:

Dangers from Anger [2009]

Man is made up of many qualities, both good and bad, and among the latter is anger. The nature of every human being is such that anything that gives offence to his sentiments or goes against his principles, excites his anger. The evils which result from anger are many. Under its influence a man loses his power of reasoning and judgement. Not being able to retain control over himself when angry, he does not know what he is doing or saying. Under its influence a man puts off his balance so much that he forgets his duty towards his superiors and may even go to the extent of saying things which are extremely insulting to them.

5. 26th of January/students assembled/headmaster and other/National Anthem/speeches/games and sports/sweets [2009]
Answer:

Environment pollution is one of the major problems that our country is facing today—water pollution being a part of it. It has come as a result of rapid industrialisation. Industrial waste and sewage are freely discharged into rivers and lakes. Harmful chemicals and other unhygienic materials make their water unfit for drinking and other household purposes.

MP Board Class 12th General English Composition Based on Visual Input img 4
Answer:

Save Trees, Save Life

As we all know that trees are very useful for us. They provide food and act as a shelter for human beings and animals. They keep the environment clean and healthy by taking in harmful carbon dioxide gas and exhaling life-giving gas oxygen. Thus, they maintain the balance of these gases in nature. They also help in bringing rain, which fulfils our need of water. Hence we can say that trees are very essential for life. Yet, today trees are being cut numberlessly and mercilessly for personal and commercial benefits. Big forests are now cleared at one shot. This mass clearing of trees is called deforestation. The rate of deforestation, today is highly increasing without caring about how will life be possible on earth without them. We can imagine what will happen without oxygen and water. Thus, we must save trees from being cut if we want life on earth. Hence, we must always say—Save Trees, Save Life.

5. The picture below shows the various forms of child labour. Write in about 150 to 200 words describing the picture and give at least two suggestions how to educate these children continuously. [2015]
MP Board Class 12th General English Composition Based on Visual Input img 5
Answer:

Child Labour

Childhood is the best period of life. It is tragic that millions of children are forced to work instead of enjoying this period of life. It is ironic that while the youth is at large unemployed children are forced to work. Bare footed lean and thin children can be seen working at dhabas, industries, construction sites and even houses. Others can be seen selling newspapers, assisting motor mechanics & masons, working in factories and even begging. They are forced to work in unhealthy conditions for even fifteen to sixteen hours. They are ill fed and ill clad. They are beaten on trivial issues. They are ill-treated and underpaid. They are engaged in firecracker, match factories, chemical factories, carpet industry, silk industry and mining.

Moreover, they are bought and sold like commodities. Poverty and lack of education are the chief causes of it. Girls are more likely to be kept away from school, made to do the household work and. fall prey to child trafficking. The child labour act 1986, The Juvenile Justice of children Act 2000 and Right of children to Free and Compulsory Education Act 2009 besides the efforts of NGOs like Bachpan Bachao Andolan, Care India, Pratham are not sufficient to tackle this problem. It requires an effort from all the people. People should be made aware of the problems of the deprived and exploited children. The defaulters should be punished.

Reading Time

Read the following passage carefully :

Chitrakoot, ‘the hill of many wonders,’ nestles peacefully in the northern spurs of the Vindhyas, a place of tranquil forest glades and quiet rivers and streams where calm and repose are all pervading. This loveliest of nature’s gifts is also hallowed ground, blessed by the gods and sanctified by the faith of pilgrims.

For Chitrakoot’s spiritual legacy stretches back to legendary ages : it was in these deep forests that Rama and Sita spent eleven of their fourteen years of exile; here the great sage Atri and Sati Anusuya meditated; and here where the principal trinity of the Hindu pantheon, Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh, took their incarnations.

Sufferers and seekers, poets and visionaries, princes and noblemen have, through the ages, sought and found solace in Chitrakoot, drawn inspiration from its sublime natural beauty, gained spiritual strength from its serene temple and in turn, become part of the hallowed legend that is Chitrakoot.

Places to see

Ramghat : With the very first rays of dawn that gleam upon the river, Ramghat stirs into life as the devout of all ages take the ritual, purifying dip in the waters and invoke the blessings of the gods.

Writing Time

Write an essay in 300 words on any one of the following topics :
1. Pollution problem
2. Importance of Games and Sports
3. Corruption in every day life.
Answer:
1. Pollution Problem
The thin cover of air and water that surrounds earth protects and keeps life. It is known as biosphere. It contains oxygen, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, water-vapour etc. The green plants produce oxygen and supply us fresh air. Pure water is also supplied by nature that we require most.

Man has made a great progress with the help of science for supplying him several necessary things. He thinks that the sort of progress he is making is an unmixed blessing. He has seldom thought that the air, the water or the food could end. He has little thought that the progress of science and technology is seriously disturbing the life-system balance. It would lead to the breakdown of the life supporting system on the earth.

Nature has been suffering for the past several hundred years. Now, the problem has become serious. The great technological break-through arc doing a great damage to the environment. The highly developed countries were the first to experience the environmental diseases. The increased industrial activity has brought along air, water and noise pollution. These pollution’s are making living difficult and resulting into poor health and several diseases. These are also having negative influence on the working capacity of men in general.

One of the chief air pollutants is smoke from our factories and is harmful for our lungs. The ever rising number of vehicles spreading foul smoke is also polluting the air. Human waste, animal bathing, industry waste etc., are polluting water. Even major rivers have become very much polluted. Loud horns, loud-speakers, musical systems etc., are creating noise pollution. It is disturbing the peace of mind of men. Atomic tests are also polluting the atmosphere.

If we have not checked these pollution, it would become impossible for people to survive. The factories and mills must be erected outside the cities. Vehicles should be tuned to produce less smoke. Dirty things should not be allowed to mix in water. The vehicles should be compelled to produce little sound and there should be complete ban on nuclear tests.

The anti-pollution laws are being made. Our government and people have become aware of the problem. We must fully co-operate in making our environment neat and clean.

2. Importance of Games and Sports
“He who has health has hope, and. he who has hope has everything.” —Arabian Proverb

Games and sports are an important part of education. They help in the development of the physique and mind of the student. A sound body possesses a sound mind. If we are weak and sick we cannot have a fertile brain. Games and sports keep us healthy. They keep us active, make us smart.

Gandhiji said, “Physical training should have as much place in curriculum as mental training” Mere bookish knowledge would not lead to proper development of a personality. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. Mere studies would not suffice. Similarly mere sports won’t do. The two should be blended in a suitable proportion so that the students can have the best of them. They should not only develop the mind but also the body. Both are essential for a wholesome personality.

Games and sports do not merely keep us healthy and physically fit, they also inculcate in young people the duty of loyalty. These qualities can be summed up in a word ‘sportsmanship’. The first and the foremost thing that games teach us is to take victory and defeat alike. In every game, there are two parties. One wins and the other loses. The winners need not be over-zealous and the loser ones should not get asperated. Both the parties should greet each other heartily after the game.

Secondly, games and sports teach us discipline. Every player must obey his or her captain. He has to play obeying all the rules of the games. He has also to abide by the decision of the referee or umpire. Thirdly, games broaden our outlook. The players ought not to differentiate between one another on the basis of nationality, caste, creed or colour. The games promote international brotherhood and affection amongst the people of the world. Thus, they promote world peace too. The Reliance Cup 1987 organised jointly by Pakistan and India is an example.

Games are beneficial not only to players; they are equally beneficial to the public at large. When a match is being played, spectators also enjoy it. They become one with the game and in a way take active part in it. Besides enjoying the game, they learn many things from them. Radio and T.V. have increased the number of people taking interest in games. Now-a-days, people in any part of the world can enjoy listening to running commentaries of matches on radio or watching them on the Television.

Games and sports have great value in student’s life. The foundation for a virtuous life is laid in school. If at an early age a student develops the taste for studies and sports in a proper way, he can become an ideal citizen in his later life. The sports arena teaches many things to the students. It gives him discipline. It develops his sportsman spirit, mental outlook, cheerful nature, sense of humour and strong physique—all these are important traits of a successful life. If a student studies seriously and diligently and still takes part in sports and games he would make an ideal personality.

3. Corruption in Everyday Life

Corruption has become a way of life in India. It has entrenched itself deeply in the social, political, economic and religious life of the nation. To be true, right from the Prime Minister down to the ordinary clerk in the office, no one is free from the suspicion of being a corrupt person. Criminalisation of social and political life has only sanctified corruption in every walk of life. Rajiv Gandhi’s government was bundled out because of Before deal. Narsimha Rao has been implicated in a number of cases by the CBI. It seems corruption has percolated from the top to the bottom. In India, a parallel economy of black money operates. It is controlled and regulated by the dons of the underworld.

Simple living and high thinking used to be the high ideals of our leaders during the struggle for independence. But now the priorities have changed. Moreover, the greed for wealth, has corrupted their minds and morals. Top posts and jobs can be bought. The members of the State Legislatures and the Parliament are vulnerable to corrupt practices and bribery. Even the security of the nation is compromised by the self ‘ serving politicians and their agents and power-brokers. The need of the hour is an inspiring leadership equipped with a firm political will to fight out the growing cancer of corruption.
