QUESTION OF ARTICLE WRITING

Q1 By 2050, India will be amongst the countries which will face acute water shortage. You are highly
alarmed and terrified of the future world without water. So write an article on ‘Save Water – Are we doing
enough?’ for the local daily, in 150 words.
Ans
Save Water- Are we doing enough?
By XYZ
“Water-the elixir of life’. As water scarcity is prevalent all around in the metro cities, the situation is alarming.
Water is essential for life, i.e., plant life, animal life as well as human life. Man’s body is 70% water. It is also
needed for many human activities, such as cooking and washing.
What would the future be without water? Are we doing enough to save it? Perhaps not. Human callousness
towards the misuse of water is taking him to a dungeon of its scarcity. Water pollution is also a contibuting factor
because the high level of contamination renders it unfit for human consumption.
The need of the hour is to use it judiciously. One should utilize used water for plants. Everyone should stop
washing cars with running water. A pledge should be taken to conserve this universal solvent. The motto of
‘Save Water -Save Life’ should be understood.
Q2 Teenagers are full of energy as well as ideas. Write an article, in 150 words, on
How to Channelise the Energy of the Teenagers?”. You are Tejinder/Simran. You may use the following
clues:
Teenagers curious-full of questions-question elders-sometimes even wrongly- generation gap-may go
astray-effect on society-how to channelise-productive hobbies-social work-sports-part-time, etc.
Ans
How to Channelise the Energy of Teenagers?
By Tejinder
The energy and curiosity of teenaged individuals is high and needs to be carefully directed. At times, these
young adults question their elders, sometimes even wrongly, and try to make their own decisions. Influence of
cinema and media promotes rash behaviour to be heroic.
In channelising a teenager’s energy, the parents and the mentor in schools play the most important roles.
Guidance about right and wrong things, knowledge of their culture and stories of courage and good manners,
engagement in positive and social activities apart from academics can be encouraged. Motivate them to take
part in productive hobbies, social work, part-time jobs and sports of their interest. Art, culture and literature are
also avenues for using the youth energy. Most important of all, educational institutions should be a place where
they have the freedom to express, develop confidence and skills, and imbibe good behaviour and discipline.
The dynamic energy of the youth needs to be channelised positively and not politically or by media.
Q3 You are an active member of the Animals Lovers’ Club of your school which works for preventing
cruelty to animals. Write an article, in 150 words, for your school magazine emphasising the need to co-
exist peacefully with animals. You are Zaheeda / Zahir of P.K. Senior Secondary School, Hyderabad.
Ans
Stop Cruelty Towards Animals
By Zaheeda
Cruelty towards animals, both tamed and untamed, is prevalent all over the world. Those who rear animals for
commercial purposes, confine them, make them starve and hit them too. The living conditions of these animals
are pathetic and they are kept in confinement.
It is important that stringent laws are made and enforced, to protect all animals. To better protect communities,
work should be done to increase public awareness of these crimes.
The simplest action is for people to take care of their own pets and educate others on proper animal care.
Another easy way to help is by donating to or volunteering at a local animal shelter. By writing letters, you can
remind your local lawmakers that animal abuse is a real problem that needs to be addressed.
It is our duty to be the voice for creatures who cannot speak up for themselves. As a nation, we need to make it
our priority to come together and ensure the safety of our beloved animals with whom we share the mother
earth.
Q4 India is a tourist’s dream destination. Give your views on the tourism potential of India in an article,
in 150 words. You are Navtej/Navita.
places of worship – religious tourism – foreigners – places of historical interest- the rich hill stations
during summers – the sun-kissed beaches in winters – leisure tourism – medical tourism – world class
hospitals.
Ans
India- A Dream Destination
By Navita
India is a land of diversity-Diversity of culture, religion, language, food, occupation. Besides this, exquisite
monuments and temples together with archaeological finds for the tourists make India a travelers delight. Being
the birthplace of many religions like Buddhism, Jainism and Hinduism, India is also an ideal place for religious
tourism. Places like Bodhgaya, Shirdi, and Rishikesh are thriving because of religious tourism.
India has an array of destinations to offer- beautiful beaches, forests and wildlife, snow capped peaks, rivers and
mountain peaks for adventure tourism, technological parks and science museums for science tourism, centres of
pilgrimage for spiritual tourism, heritage trains and hotels for heritage tourism. A new growth sector is medical
tourism. It is currently growing steadily with world class hospitals. Yoga, ayurveda and natural health resorts also
attract tourists.
Indian tourism has vast potential for generating employment and earning large sums of foreign exchange
besides giving a boost to the country’s overall economic and social development. Much has been achieved by
way of increasing trains and railway connectivity to important tourist destinations, four-lane roads connecting
important tourist centres and increasing availability of accommodation by adding heritage hotels to the hotel
industry and encouraging paying guest accommodation.
Q5 Write an article, in 150 words, on how we can make India a carefree and enjoyable place for women
when they can go wherever they like to without any fear of being stared at, molested or discriminated
against. You are Navtej/Navita.
Ans
Women safety in India
By Navita
Since time immemorial, women are the vulnerable section and their safety and security has been a matter of
concern. With the evolving times, they have started moving out of the houses and so, the need to be proactive
and to avoid mishaps has become vital. When we turn the pages of a newspaper, we come across many
headlines reporting cases of molestation, harassment, trafficking, ill treatment of women in houses, violence
against women in remote areas, etc. Although the times have changed, the change has not yet affected the
mindset of our people.
We have several laws for protection of women but we need to create social awareness about these issues.
Being biologically weak, women must accept and understand the creation of nature. We must respect our
limitations and make ourselves strong accordingly. Making the women capable of self-defence, financially free
and self-reliant is the need of the hour. Only when these measures are taken, the world can become a carefree
and enjoyable place for women.

1. Write a description, in not more than 100 words, of a potted plant that you and your sibling recently
chose to gift your parent. (CBSE English Communicative SQP 2023-24)
Ans-
I decided on an easy-to-care potted plant to give to my parents. The plant is referred to as the Chinese Money
Plant. It has round, flat, shiny, dark green leaves growing up and out from the crown, each ending in a single
saucer shaped leaf of about two inches in diameter.
The plant is around forty cm tall and is planted in a clay pot. The pot had a simple yellow and red abstract design
that complements the plant well. The soil in the container appears to be rich in organic content, wet, and well-
draining.
Overall, we are delighted to gift this beautiful plant to our parents since we are positive that it will cheer them up
and provide a little greenery to the home.

Har Ghar Tiranga campaign appealed to people to hoist the national flag at their homes to mark 75 years of
Indian Independence in 2022. On that day, I woke up early in the morning, bathed and hoisted the Indian
National Flag along with my parents in our balcony. After hoisting the flag, we took selfies and uploaded them on
the platform. We then watched our beloved Prime Minister hoist the National flag at the Red Fort. My parents
educated me on the significance of our flag and remembered the freedom fighters who selflessly fought for our
nation’s freedom. Bringing the tricolour home truly invoked the feeling of patriotism in my heart.
