Q. Write a newspaper article on Global Warming. Make a catchy title of your own.

Global Warming, a Threat to Humanity

Global warming is the unusually rapid increase in average surface temperature of the earth and
its oceans. The average temperature of the earth has risen between 0.4 and 0.8 °C over the past
100 years.

The increased volumes of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases released by the burning of
fossil fuels, land clearing, agriculture and other human activities, are believed to be the primary
sources of the global warming that has occurred over the past 50 years. The temperatures could
further increase between 1.4 and 5.8 °C by the year 2100.

There exists a real risk of a global catastrophe if global warming is left unchecked. It includes
oceanic acidification leading to the mass death of coral and plankton, the basis of the Earth’s
food chain and the total collapse of the tropical rainforests.

At the end there is a solution to every problem. Individual and collective efforts are required to
address the problem. All types of media should play their role in this regard.

Q. Write an article to a newspaper about food that are said to be good for the brain.

Smart way to better brain health

We all use food to soothe our moods and clear our heads without seeming to think much about
it. Some important and urgent best practices that we need to get into people’s kitchens are
available everywhere but people have to find these foods for themselves.
Fatty fish (salmon, mackerel, bluefish, sardines, anchovies) contains a blend of nutrients that are
perfect for the brain. Research shows that consuming fish only once a week is associated with a
70% reduced risk of Alzheimer’s in old age. Of all the nutrients present in fish, the omega-3s
seem to be particularly protective against dementia.
Dark leafy greens spinach and cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, and cabbage) are all
full of vitamins, minerals, fiber and disease-fighting nutrients that are crucial for a healthy
nervous system. Large-scale studies show that people who consume one or two servings of these
vegetables every day experience fewer memory problems and cognitive decline than people who
rarely eat greens.
In the end, a brain-healthy diet enhances your capacity for keeping a healthy, sharp and active
brain over a lifetime – while reducing the risk of developing age-related cognitive problems.
