Paragraphs for class 10

 

                                                        Small Family happy family 

A small family is indeed a blessing in today’s world.The cost of living is really high. It becomes impossible to make both ends meet if one has a large family to support. All the countries of the world are facing the problem of rising population. But the problem is very acute and threatening in India because we have limited resources. Stress should be laid on family planning and the spread of education. Small family is an economic necessity also. Theconcept of small family will help to eradicate the problems like poverty and unemployment. A person having less children can make them better citizens by providing them proper diet and good education. The government as well as the public should make a determined effort towards family planning. Children should be born by choice and not by chance. Thus, the concept of small family should he adopted as a way of life.

 

                                                       

                                            A Scene at a polling booth

The Election Day this year was full of excitement. My school was one of the polling centres. There was feverish activity on the booth. The rush of voters was increasing gradually. There were cars. minihuses and rickshaws used by different candidates to bring voters from their homes. This was, of course, wrong but nobody seemed to mind. There were also stalls where free soft drinks were offered to the voters and sympathizers. The polling officer enquired from the voters their names and other particulars recorded in the electoral roll. He also verified every voter’s identity card before issuing the ballot paper. Before casting the vote, an indelible ink mark was put on every voter’s left forefinger. Polling was brisk especially in the atìernoon and the booths were closed exactly at 5 p.m. Luckily there was no unhappy incident. I returned home tired hut satisfied.

Dear Rani

 

I received your letter yesterday. Actually it had arrived earlier but I could not get it as I was out of town. Our History teacher had arranged for an educational tour to Agra and I, along with my classmates, enjoyed a three day trip to the place.

 We reached Agra before noon. Inspie of being tired, we could not wait till the next day and went to see The Taj in the evening. The bewitching sight narrated the history of it. It truly exhibits the emotion of love as one falls in love with The Taj itself at first sight. It is, no doubt, one of the seven wonders of the world. Then we went to see the Agra Fort. Here Shahjahan was captivated by his own son. The old emperor could have a full view of Taj Mahal from here. We learn from these tours what no books can teach. What I saw there will always remain fresh in my memory. With regards to Mania and Papa.

Let me share with you an unforgettable experience that I had yesterday. Grandmother organized a Free Medical Camp for poor patients in the local Vivek Model School in memory of our late grandfather. Ii was a grand success. Eleven top doctors of the city had kindly agreed to lend their service free of charge for the whole day. Diagnostic tests were performed on the spot and patients were given the reports within no time. The medicines prescribed by these competent doctors were distributed free of cost. By evening, more than 700 patients were examined and given different trea(ments.Our grand1ither valued health above everything else. This was what prompted grandmother to do something for thesuffering humanity. May God help her organize more such camps!

Dear Mohit

It is more than a month since I had a letter from you. I was feeling rather worried when I met your friend Rajan yesterday. He told me that you were wholly occupied with your books and that you don’t take care of your health. I  glad to learn that you were taking your studies seriously, but very sorry to note that you were doing so at the cost of your health. Have you heard the saying ‘A sound mind in a sound body”? Those who do brain work need a regular physical exercise. I advise you to take up some game- tennis or badminton. You will soon feel the benefit the exercise gives you. You will return to your studies with a fresh mind and a clear head. So don’t avoid games. They give you good health and teach you discipline. I hope you’ll take my advice seriously.

With best wishes..

DEMOCRACY class 10

                   

                     

                                             DEMOCRACY

The word comes from Latin translations of Aristotle’s demos, meaning ‘territory” or people” as a group. and km/ten, which means “rule”. But whatever its linguistic roots,democracy as we understand it today is a product of the Enlightenment, based on what Kant termed autonomy, again from the Greek, a law (nomos) that you impose on yourself. In short, “government of the people, by the people, for the people”. This is practically synonymous with sovereignty in the popular imagination, but sovereignty, as the German philosopher Carl Schmitt argued, is the power to suspend the law and to place oneself above the law, or, as Jacques Derrida wrote: The abuse of power is constitutive of the idea of sovereignty”. It is a tribute to the power of the democratic ideal that when governments deny democracy, they feel obliged to claim that it is for some greater good. Suspending elections, for instance, is presented as a hid “to protect democracy”. Today, many see democracy as a form of modern civilization. Beyond the mere freedom to vote, it incorporates accountability of government, civic freedoms, the rule of law, and so on. Some see democracy as a form of identity and a byword for market freedom, which is not just to be shared, but protected and spread as a counterweight to tyranny.

                                                           EATING DISORDERS

Anorexia (also known as anorexia nervosa) is the name for simply starving yourself because you are convinced you are overweight. If you are at least 15 percent under your normal body weight and you are losing weight through not eating, you may be suffering from this disorder. Bulimia (also known as bulimia nervosa) is characterized by excessive eating. and then ridding yourself of the food by vomiting, abusing laxatives or diuretics, taking enemas, or exercising obsessively. This behaviour of ridding yourself of the calories from consumed food is often called purging. Eating disorders are serious problems and need to he diagnosed and treated like any medical disease. If they continue to go untreated, these behaviours can result in future severe medical complications that can he life-threatening. ¡f you believe you may he suffering from an eating disorder or know someone who is, please get help. Once properly diagnosed by a mental health professional, such disorders are readily treatable and often cured within a few months time. A person with an eating disorder should not be blamed for having it ! The disorders are caused by a complex interaction of social, biological and psychological factors which bring about the harmful behaviours. The important thing is to stop as soon as you recognize these behaviours in yourself, or to get help to begin the road to recovery.

Sir

Kindly publish the following few lines about the need for environmental awareness. It is one of the biggest problems the modern man faces today. The air we breathe in, the water we drink, and the food we eat are all polluted. Smoke and other chemical wastes of the factories have poisoned the air and water. The result is the breakout of several deadly diseases like cancer. It is a collective responsibility of all Indians to save our environment. Unauthorized felling of the trees should be checked. New methods should be developed to minimize the
effect of the smoke let out by the autos and chimneys. In the end I want to say that,“When all the trees are cut down and all the rivers poisoned, only then man will know that money cannot be eaten.”

Dirty water stagnates in the pits and heaps of filth and dirt are

There is a milk dairy in the Street. They tie their cattle in the

street but do not remove dung for many days. The street is

always filled with bad smell. The sweeper also does not clean

the street for days together. If this state of affairs continues,

many of us may soon fall ill.

Sample Paragraphs class 10

  

                                                               An Indian Festival

India is known for festivals. One of these festivals is Diwali. It is the most auspicious Hindu festival. It is celebrated with great excitement. It is celebrated in the memory of Lord Rama’s return from exile. On this day, people clean their houses and shops. They put on their best dresses and decorate their houses with rows of earthen lamps or electric bulbs. They send greetings, sweets and presents to their relatives and friends. Goddess Lakshrni is worshipped for prosperity. Children explode crackers and let off fireworks. Sorne people indulge in gambling. The evil of gambling on such a sacred day must be put to an end.

                                                         Good Manners

Good manners oil the machine of life and keep the people in good relationship. They make life worth living and earn us respect and dignity. Even small courteous words like ‘please’ and ‘thank you’ can settle bitter quarrels and soften bad tempers. Good manners should be observed in every walk of life. We should respect our elders and be polite to the youngers. We should maintain discipline in the school by talking less and listening more. At public places we must learn to take our turn and wait patiently in queue. Civility of behaviour is a social as well as a moral obligation. On the other hand, bad manners create nothing but bitterness. An ill- mannered person is a misfit in a cheerful company.

                                                       My Motherland 

India is my motherland. She is also the motherland of many saints and sages like Rishi Valmiki, Guru Nanak, Gautam and Mahavira. She has given birth to warriors like Porus, Rana Pratap, Shivaji and Rani Jhansi. India is the oldest civilization in the world. It is not only the biggest democracy but also the torch bearer of the peace process of the world. Being a secular country, people belonging to different religions and having different cultural backgrounds live here. There is unity in diversity. In the field of science, it has made tremendous progress. India is now a nuclear power state. It is rich in heritage and natural resources and is inhabited by hard-working people. I am proud of my motherland.
