Disaster Management
Management is directly
related to planning about future means, what will be the alternate options if
your present plan does not work. Similarly managing the situation for disaster.
Disasters are generally very destructive in nature. It results huge loss to
life and necessary commodities. If it is a case of flood the basic articles
like food, matches, drinking water, medicines become big issues because these
things get washed away with the flood. Crops, animals and houses also suffer a
big loss. To come to normal situation it takes several years. Earthquake or war
with a country pushes the country a decade behind. Earthquake destroys the
buildings, roads, powder plants and loss to life is large in numbers. People
overcome from financial loss but they can not overcome from emotional loss
occurred in these disasters. So, it is the responsibility of Government to take
action to ensure for the basic facilities in case of disasters. And also it is
the responsibility of a common man to take care of all these things.
Inflation
An indirect attack to
Indian economy- inflation slows down the growth rate of any economy. As
inflation is the flow of money decreases into the market. We know that inflation
is directly proportional to purchasing power of rupees. In the last few months inflation
cracked some new records. It touched around 12% (11.68%) which was really very
high and government was not able to control it. But slowly and gradually it came
down. The inflation is said to be good if it is between 4 to 6%. Inflation
calculation contains so many commodities which are used in day to day life. The
possible factors for the growth of inflation may be American economy, prices of
oil, National Stock Exchange of Europe, production-agriculture and also
political movement in the country. All these mentioned factors decide the
inflation.
Mobile: Need, Fashion
Necessity
The symbol of status is now
the means of communication, a common man is now carrying a mobile phone. Even a
low earning person like vegetable vendor, milk man, bangle seller, street
hawker, newspaper vendor is using mobile. Now-a-days handsets are so cheap that
you can purchase at Rs. 501 a new handset. Wherever you are at any time you can
contact anybody and share your thoughts. For businessman, it is nothing without
mobile. Similarly for a doctor, it can save life of someone who needs a doctor urgently.
Earlier mobile was used by only army and police personnel, but in the last few years,
government decided to make it available for all. So that masses could get
benefit from it. But few handsets which are full of facilities like MP3
ringtone, camera, bluetooth, etc., are symbols of status or way of fashion
also.

Paragraphs
A paragraph is a number of
sentences grouped together and relating to one topic, or a group of related
sentences that develop a single point.
A Car Accident
It is the mad craze for
speed that is responsible for many motor accidents. Only last year I witnessed
what might have been a fatal accident on the Kashmir road. I was motoring down
from Srinagar, and as I was nearing Kohala. I came upon the wreckage of two cars
on the road. The smash had been caused, by a car coming down, which swept round
a sharp corner at forty miles an hour and crashed into a car coming up. Happily
no one was killed; but several were badly injured, and the two cars were
wrecked. To drive at such a speed down a twisting mountain road is simply to
court disaster.
Republic Day
India became a Sovereign
Republic on 26th January 1950. On this day our new Constitution prepared by
Constitution Committee was introduced. On this day, the government was formed
by the people of India according to the new Constitution. This day reminds us
of the past and the dark period of the Britishers when we were not free. Many
freedom fighters sacrificed their lives for the freedom of India. The efforts
of the patriots forced the British rulers to quit India for ever. We celebrate
this day in a special manner. The President of India takes the salute of the
Jawans of Army, Navy and Air Fierce. The Government buildings are illuminated
at night.
Diwali Festival
India is called a land of
fairs and festivals. Of all these festivals, Diwali is the most important
religious festival of the Hindus. It is celebrated all over India with great
pomp and show. It generally falls in the end of October or in the beginning of
November. It is celebrated in honour of Rama's return to Ayodhya after fourteen
years of exile. Houses and shops are cleaned and whitewashed for this colourful
festival many days in advance. Sweets, toys and fireworks are in great demand.
Children enjoy themselves heartily They wear new clothes. There is great
feasting. Gifts are exchanged with friends and relatives. At night people
illuminate their houses with earthen lamps, candles or electric bulbs and
fireworks.

Zealand. His parents had 12 children, of whom Ernest was the fourth. His
education was in a state primary school from the age of 15 where children could
get grants of scholarships to secondary schools and to the universities.

career. He was not a bookworm. He was good in anything rough-and-tumble and a
keen football player. But he was good at Latin and he had a passion for 'music
and a mechanical bent of mind.
C: At Nelson College, a state boarding school, he was an
outstanding pupil, he sat for a scholarship to Canterbury College and this was

·
Example 2
Arrange A, B, C and D in order to logically to find out
the correct order of actions:
A: There are two ways of avoiding fear. One is by
persuading ourselves that we are immune from disaster, and the other is by the
practice of sheer courage. The latter is difficult, and for everybody it
becomes impossible at a certain point.
B: The former has, therefore, always been more popular.
Primitive magic has the purpose of securing safety, either by injuring enemies
or by protecting oneself by talismans, spells or incantations.
C: Without any essential change, belief in such ways of
avoiding danger survived throughout the many centuries of Babylonian
civilisation, spread from Babylon throughout the Empire of Alexander and was
acquired by the Romans in the course of their absorption of Hellenistic
culture.
D: From the Romans it descended to medieval Christendom
and Islam. Science has now lessened the belief in magic, but many people place
more faith in mascots than they are willing to avow, and sorcery, while
condemned by the Church, is still officially a possible sin.
