Questions 1:
Cruelty to animals is growing day by day due to human greed. This is not good for
the ecosystem. Animals too are a part of our life. You have been asked to write an
article „Live and Let Live‟ in order to create awareness. You are Rohit.

Live and Let Live

—Rohit

God created their world not for the benefit of mankind alone. No doubt man today is
the master of the earth. He has tamed even tigers and elephants and king Cobras.
But his brain-superiority does not give him the right to hunt down all kinds and
species of animals.
Animals normally live in forests. They don‟t attack us unless we provoke them or
encroach in their territory. They are as a rule afraid of us. They serve some useful
purposes. So killing them for pleasure or for their skin and bones is a sin and a
crime.
We need to learn to live together not only with our fellow beings but also with all the
creatures created by God. In other words, we should live ourselves as well let others
also live in peace. War, hunting and violence are against the will of God and the law
of the land. Coexistence should be our motto.

Questions 2:
Water is one of the most precious gifts of nature. But it is unfortunate that we don‟t
understand its worth and over-exploit this resource for our selfish purposes. It is a
matter of serious attention that water must be conserved at all costs. Write an article
for your school magazine, urging the fellow students to save water. You are

 Save Water, Save Life
—Mohit

Water is that Amrita which daily sustains our life on the earth. We need water for
daily use at home and for agriculture. Drinking water is however limited. We get it
mainly from the clouds and glaciers. If this resource is used wisely, then there will be
no problem. But unfortunately it is being over-exploited. Our ever-increasing
population has created scarcity of water. It is predicted that by 2025, nearly two
billion people will live in absolute water scarcity. This is a signal to be cautious
enough in the use of water. Every drop of water is precious and it must not go in
vain. Water shortage is a grim reality for the cities as well as villages. We need to
wake up to it now than be sorry later. We must think about the ways to conserve this
precious resource. We must conserve water in ponds and tanks. We should be
rational towards using it. We should try our best to use water cautiously for our sake.
If we continue to use it recklessely, we will have to face dire consequences. By
saving water we will save ourselves.

Questions 3:
The increase of the population of our country has led to the shrinking of forest cover.
The cutting of the forest causes what is called “The Green House Effect”. It results in
the heating of the earth‟s surface which has serious consequences. Write an article
on the topic „The Importance of Tree Plantation‟.

Importance of Tree Plantation

—Monika

Trees are important for us. They give us innumerable things. They purify air without
which we cannot imagine to exist. But man has thoughtlessly cut down forests and
other trees for his selfish needs. This has resulted in the imbalance of environment.
Lack of trees makes air impure. Hence, it is high time to understand the worth of our
forests and avoid cutting them. We should also encourage tree plantation. „Grow
more trees‟ should be our motto. We can save our life from dangerous consequence
by planting more and more trees. It is also necessary to spread awareness among
common people. People should be motivated to realise the importance of tree
plantation. Let us take a pledge to plant trees in more and more numbers and
encourage others for this noble cause.
