Answer:

Being Close to Nature

By-Aruna

Do you know how many flowering trees are there near your house? Are there any butterflies in this season? When do we see catterpillars? What about a garden? Do you have one at home? What colour flowers are there in the park near your home? But before that another question-do you have a park near your house?

If you have answered 'No' to most of these questions, don't get worried, you have just joined the league of many others. The league of those who are so busy with their lives, that they do not have time to even look around. Such is life now that everyone has rigid routines with no time to either interect with humans or nature. With the cut throat competition in today's world, people have only time for work. Life has become monotonous and stressful. People suffer from various diseases, mostly because they don't have time to be one with nature. The only remedy is to take time and be close to nature. It will help break away from the monotony of life. It will also rejuvenate and de-stress one. Half of the diseases are controlled when one breathes in fresh air. People also get to relax and thereby obtain peace and serenity. All in all, it strengthens immunity. So, we need to be close to nature for our own good.

Subject: Use of unfair means.

Sir,

Through the columns of your esteemed newspaper, I would like to draw the attention of the concerned authorities about the growing use of unfair means by students these days. We hear about many cases where unfair means is used during exams. Some students get chits, others use latest gadgets; and then there are others who use the old method- copying from others. Many were caught by the exam squads and got suspended, some for a year. But still the practice continues. So, what is it that is forcing these students to continue this illegal activity? The primary reason is the high expectations of parents and teacher. Then, there is Deer throat competition to be the best, doesn?t help. There were some students, who also copy due to the lack of preparation. Sometimes, fear of failure and poor vigilance also make students use unfair means during exams.

The need of the hour is to take immediate measures to help the students. The teachers and parents need to play an active role in sensitsing students about the importance of learning. They should instill life skills and values of integrity and honesty. We also need better vigilance so that students do not move to such plans. After all, they are the future of our nation.

Yours sincerely

Arun
