An Indian Festival Diwali

Introduction: Festivals are an important part of our life. All the festivals recharge us for daily

routine. Diwali is a great Indian festival. It is the festival of light; we celebrate Diwali in the

month of October or November on the Amavasya of Kartik month every year.

Reason of Celebration: It is believed that on this day Lord Ram returned to Ayodhya from

his fourteen years exile. People of Ayodhya gave him a warm welcome. They decorate their

houses with earthen lamps and distribute sweets. So we celebrate this day in his memory.

Page 16

Preparations: People clean and white wash their houses. The shops are painted and reset.

Decorative items make the market look very beautiful.

The Celebration: Diwali starts with Dhanteras. On this day, people buy new clothes, utensils

and crackers. They buy sweets, fruits, crackers and gifts to present their friends and relatives

On the day of Amavasya, people worship Goddess Lakshmi. They pray toher to shower her

blessings and wealth upon them. The Diwali night becomes the brightest night because of

electric series, earthen lamps, decorative lightings etc. Children burst crackers.

Advantages: Diwali is enjoyed by all the people of every caste and religion. It strengthens

the national unity. People in foreign countries also remember their mother and by celebrating

Diwali.

Disadvantages: Some people gamble and drink on this day. This certainly is a bad practice.

Likewise bursting crackers carelessly causes great damage and loss of property and

environment

Conclusion: Diwali is a festival of national importance. It brings happiness for both the rich

and the poor. We should be careful in planning the expenditure for it to make it memorable.

Practice: The teacher will ask the students to write other essays on the same pattern.

Pollution

Introduction

Pollution is the introduction of harmful materials into the environment.Pollution causes an

imbalance in the environment.Pollutants can be natural, such as volcanic ash. They can also

be created by human activities, such as trash or pollutants produced by factories. They

damage the quality of air, water, and land.

Types of Pollution:

The five major types of pollution are -

Air pollution: Air pollution is the presence of substances in the atmosphere that are

harmful to the health of humans and other living beings.

(2) Water pollution: When water bodies like rivers, lakes, ponds, seas, oceans etc. are

contaminated, it is called water pollution.

(3) Soil pollution:

Soil pollution is the presence of toxic chemicals in soil.

Radioactive pollution:

Radioactive Pollution is defined as the increase in the natural radiation levels causedby human activities.

(5)Noise pollution:

......

Noise pollution is disturbing or unwanted noise that interferes or harms humans or

wildlife.

Causes of Pollution:

Almost all of the common air pollutants can be produced by industrial processes. Some of

these are produced by combustion of fossil fuels that drive the industrial process, resulting in

particulates, ozone and nitrogen oxides.

Common forms of transportation like cars, planes and ships generally use the combustion

process. It releases pollutants into the air, such as particles and carbon monoxide, and also

releases substances that quickly form into nitrogen oxides and ozone, which are important air

pollutants.

Water is polluted by both natural as well as human activities. Volcanic eruptions, earthquakes,

Tsunamis, etc. are known to contaminate it. It affects the ecosystems that exist underwater.

Waste products from factories are released into water bodies. It pollutes them.

Radioactive pollution is caused by both-natural and human activities.

Natural sources include cosmic radiation, solar radiation etc. Man-made forms of radiation are

used in X-rays, cancer treatment, nuclear facilities and nuclear weapons.

Harmful Effects of Pollution:

Environment degradation: All types of pollution affect our environment badly. They are

responsible for its degradation

Effects on Human Health:

Pollution gives birth to many diseases. It weakens the immune system. Global Warming is the

result of pollution. The temperature of the earth is increasing. One day life will be difficult on

earth.Ozone layer protects our earth from harmful UV rays of the sun. It is depleting. Pollution

is responsible for this. Soil pollution makes the land infertile. It affects the production of crops.

Conclusion

All types of pollution are harmful. They come with serious consequences. Everyone must be

aware of it. We must join hands now. We must make this earth pollution-free. We should

recycle water. Carpooling, use of public transport, proper garbage disposal etc. can help. We

should use energy saving bulbs and appliances. We should plant more trees. It is our duty

towards this planet

According to WHO, health is a state of complete mental, spiritual, physical, and social well

being. If a person is in a good physical state and free from any diseases but is under constant

stress, greed, tension, anger, etc. then that person is not healthy.

Role of Nutritious Food and Pure Water

For good health, one needs to eat good food. For a healthy body, a mixed diet is the best

option. It should have a proper amount of minerals, vitamins, and calories required to run our

body. Pure water is also important. Water is very important for our health

Cleanliness

Cleanliness is one of the most important elements of good health. It is an important hygiene

habit to keep yourself and your surroundings clean. When there is dirt, there are germs. So, a

dirty man is attacked easily with diseases.

Importance of Personal Hygiene

We should keep our bodies clean. We should brush our teeth daily twice. We should take

bath daily. We should cut our nails regularly. We should wash our hands before and after

eating. We must cover our mouth while sneezing. We should not touch our eyes and nose

with dirty hands.

Conclusion

It is rightly said that health is wealth. A sound mind lives in a sound body. If a person is

healthy physically, mentally and emotionally, he is the happiest of all. We should practise

good health and hygiene habits.
