You are Rishabh/Raina a concerned citizen of Delhi. Traffic snarls due to water¬logging create a lot of problems on Delhi roads. Write a speech in 150-200 words to be delivered in the RWA meeting on this issue |
|
Answer» Good morning, respected Principal, teachers and my dear friends! Today I, Rishabh, take this opportunity to speak about a common problem of traffic jams on Delhi roads during rainy days. There is hardly anyone who has not experienced traffic snarls due to water-logging. Every year Delhi and Gurgaon brace up to crawl under massive traffic jams after fresh spell of showers in the national capital. Heavy downpour leads to water-logging with motorists stuck on roads. Commuters have a harrowing time as vehicular traffic crawls on roads. The commuters have to be patient and maintain lane discipline. In such a situation people are prone to frustration and road rage. Water-logging is the result of already clogged sewerage system which cannot take the additional water of the rain. It is the duty of the municipal corporation to clean drains ahead of time so that things do not come to such a pass. Yet the same sorry state of affairs is repeated year after year. As residents it is our duty to remind the authorities about this problem. Thank you |

This gives them mental and physical holiday. At the same time it satisfies their passion.

Human mind and senses become dull in its monotony. Naturally it seeks an outlet. Winning or losing is immaterial while pursuing a hobby. The pleasure is in the process of engagement in the hobby. Thus hobbies are healthy and contribute a lot to the building of one’s personality. They ought to be encouraged. Hobbies boost the mind and thinking faculty and are great stress busters. |

Elaborate any four elements of drama. |
|
Answer» (a) The Script/text: This is the starting point of the theatrical performance the element most often considered as the domain of the playwright in theatre. The playwright’s script is the text by which theatre is created. It can be simplistic, as in the 16th century, with the scenarios used by the acting troupes of the Commedia dell’ arte or it can be elaborate such as the works of William Shakespeare. The script, scenario or plan is what the director uses as a blue-print to build a production. (b) The Process: This is the coordination of the creative efforts usually headed up in theatre by the director. It is the pure process by which the playwright’s work is brought to realization by the director, actors, designers, technicians, dancers, musicians and any other collaborators that come together on the script or plan. (c) The Product: This is the end result of the process of work involved. The final product that results from all of the labours coming together to complete the finished work of script or plan in union with all of the collaborators in the process to create the final product. This is what the audience will witness as they sit in the theatre and view the work. (d) The Audience: Theatre requires an audience. All forms of arts, public is essential. The physical presence of an audience can change a performance, inspire actors and create expectations. Theatre is a living, breathing art form. The presence of live actors on the stage in front of live audiences sets it apart from modern day films and television. (e) Rehearsal Schedule: Always begin and end rehearsals on time. This not only shows that you are organized but it sets a schedule that the students can plan around. If students know exactly when rehearsals are going to be held, it helps them organize their time. It is important to have a copy of the rehearsal schedule available during auditions. Obviously, it is better for a student to back out of auditioning because of schedule and time conflicts, than to quit the show two or three weeks into rehearsals. A rehearsal schedule can take many shapes; however try to include as much information about each individual rehearsal as possible. |

You are Navtej/Navita. You are going to participate in the English debate competition in your school. The topic of the debate is ‘Should school proscribe uniform?’ Write this debate in 150-200 words. |
|
Answer» I, Navtej, am strongly against the motion. School uniforms should not be banned because they create equality among students. They should be more widely used and not banned because they take away the status quo. Removing labels from clothing is not more than creating just the problem of inequality. School uniforms solve many instances of bullying, parental stress, and childhood depression for starters. I believe all children deserve acceptance, and with school uniforms it gives them an advantage. Why should this advantage be taken away? Uniforms make students feel like they are part of the same school, and that they are proud to belong to the school. Students wouldn’t be discriminated because of the clothes they wear. Uniforms help pupils get into the correct, working state of mind, and it gives a good impression of the school. School uniforms simplify a school’s dress code. The school would only need to specify how the uniform should be worn. A school uniform also gives a professional atmosphere to schools. Also, it’s easier to spot a student who has cut class if he/she has a uniform on. With these arguments I rest my case. |
