Dear Editor

I am Radha G, member of NGO AWAAZ. I am writing to you in order to highlight the deteriorating condition of river Yamuna.
The city of Delhi is getting contaminated water from river Yamuna. The residents are to be blamed for this. They pollute the river with garbage, sewage and filth. The river water is full of bacteria, plastic, chemicals and other waste materials. It is unfit for consumption.
The people have been demanding a Water Treatment plant. The authorities have not yet responded to the repeated requests.
I request you to highlight the problem in your newspaper and arouse public interest. We all need to get together in order to get the plant set up in the area.

Thank You
Yours sincerely

A journey by boat is always very pleasant. It has a charm of its own. Rowing a boat provides a lot of fun. Last summer I had the opportunity to go to Mauritius for about a week. We stayed in a hotel, which was within walking distance from the sea.


On the full moon day, my father hired a boat for two hours. The boat was quite spacious though not very big. All of us—my father, mother, sister, younger brother and myself, got into the boat.

It was dusk. The sun had just set. The scenery was very beautiful. There were not many boats in the sea. I wanted to row but my father was afraid to let me do that. The boatman came to my help. He said that he would take care that I did not cause any harm to the boat or to myself. In the end, my father .
I sat in the place of the boatman and had the joy of rowing for almost ten minutes. Imagine my thrill and pride when I was able to row the boat and keep it on course. Of course, its speed was reduced. My brother envied me.

Soon the moon was shining brightly. The tall coconut trees silhouetted against the sky made a beautiful scene. The lights of the nearby houses and of the bridge threw beams of silver in the sea. The sky was studded with stars. The view was breathtakingly beautiful.

Time flew and very soon the two hours were over. The boatman brought us back to the shore. We enjoyed every single minute of the boat ride. It was really wonderful. The memory still mesmerizes me.

Trees are our best friends. Right from our childhood we r taught about different uses of trees. We all are aware of the uses of trees. It gives us food,shelter,oxygen to breath, helps in many natural phenomenons etc. But in greed and selfishness man has started deforestation for the development of human settlements. Forests are getting cleared. Soil is becoming barren. Trees take in carbon dioxide and give oxygen. Due to the decreasing number of trees carbon dioxide in air is getting increased and temperature on earth is rising. Greenery is getting vanished. The decreasing number of trees is effecting the ozone layer. Today, afforestation is must to prevent global warming. That's a way for rain to occur timely. We can prevent the rising pollution abd temperature through afforestation. So let's plant trees and save trees and maintain the green cover of our country.

Robert Frost's 'Dust of Snow' is a very short poem full of imagery. The way poet has potrayed the winter months , the hemlock tree and the crow made an image of that in the minds of people. He used hemlock tree which symbolises death and sorrow . 

The poem The Dust of Snow exposes the irrelevancy of superstition which are popular among us. It is commonly believed that crow is the sign of bad omen. It bring doom and mishap. Similarly, dust refers to death (in Christian and Islamic culture) and Hemlock tree (a poisonous tree) on the other hand was used by Socrates to commit suicide.

However ironically, all these things of bad omen make the poet’s day cheerful. So, the poem depicts that we should always hope for the best and never take anything as bad omen.

Mijbil was an otter which is a rare animal to be found. It was a rare specie which was unknown to science. The author received the otter as a gift from one of his friends in Iraq. The author was very fond of the otter and he named him Mijbil.

Ivan Vassiliyitch Lomov is a prententious, proud, self-serving, argumentative, impetuous, hysterical hypochondriac. A wealthy landowner, he comes to his neighbor with the overt intentions of marriage, but he really wishes to expand his own land boundaries. In his farce, Chekhov ridicules the Russian landowners for whom marriage was more a land deal than a love match. Having long been the neighbor of Stepan Stepanovitch Tschubukov, Lomov comes to him in formal attire and speaks with stilted language when his neighbor warmly urges him to sit down, "No, I have no engagement except with you, Stepan Stepanovitch."

Natalya is a good looking and educated girl of 25 years. She also a good housekeeper. However she is short-tempered and cantankerous. She is desperate to fall in love and her father calls her a love-sick cat. According to Lomov, she doesn't seem educated as she is abusive and cannot control her speech. She quarrels with Lomov over Meadows as she says that she does not like unfairness but when she comes to know that Lomov had come to propose to her she changes her attitude and regrets losing an opportunity of love. She is therefore an opportunist. When Lomov returns on being called by her father she begins all over again to fight with him on the issue of their respective dogs. This tells the reader that she has the compulsive habit of quarreling. She seems to be also a dominating nature as she puts down Lomov with her zestful arguing and agitation

Summary of Glimpses of India-A Baker from Goa

Summary of the Chapter

This lesson is a pen portrait of a traditional Goan village beaker that still has unimportant place in his vicinity. Goa is the place which has the varied culture of French, English and Portuguese. Here in this lesson the description of a village hacker reminds us of the Old Portuguese days.

The beaker comes with the jhang-jhang sound—a sound of his bamboo stuff. His one hand supports the basket of his head and the other hand the bamboo on the ground. The baker places the basket and the imploring children surround him to look into the basket what verities of eatables he carries. They buy the loves and even eat without brushing.

The sells are so importantly intertwined with the social custom with Goan people that their presence is inevitable. Marriage gifts are meaningless without the sweet bread called “bol”. Cakes and bolinhas are a must for festival. Their peculiar dress is known as “kabai” as they themselves are known as “pader”. They have a joyful life as they earn profitably well. Their plum physique is the testimony to this.
