3. Any Indian festival:
India is a land of festivals. We mainly celebrate festivals for fun and joy. We celebrate Holi, Diwali, Dusshera, Raksha Bandhan and many other festivals. Diwali is my favorite festival. It is the festival of lights. It is so called because people light candles and lamps. It is celebrated because Lord Ram had come Lack from banishment after killing Ravana. People of Ayodhya and illuminated the city.
Before this day we clean and whitewash our houses. We worship Goddess Laxmi on this day. We decorate our houses. Children play with fire crackers. We exchange sweets with our relatives and friends. Some people enjoy in their own way by drinking and gambling. Sometimes children get hurt by crackers. So we should take proper care while celebrating Diwali.
कठिन शब्द –
- festival = त्योहार
- light = जलान
- worship = पूजा करना
- banishment = अज्ञातवास।
- whitewash = सफेदी करना
- decorate = सजाना
- crackers = पटाखे
- celebrate = मनाना।
4. Wonders of Science:
Today Science is the life of human beings. It is the age of science. All our luxuries, comforts are the gifts of science.
Electricity is the most useful gift of science. It gives us light. Heaters, fans, coolers, refrigerators, computers etc. all work on electricity. It also runs machines and trains. Many new methods in the field of surgery and medicines have been possible because of science. We have conquered death and disease to a great extent.
Plastic surgery can transform the face. Science has made man reach the moon. Fast means of transport and communication help us to reach distant places in a short time. On the other hand science is a bad master. Atom bombs, hydrogen bombs and missiles are the products of science. If science is used as a servant, it is useful but if it becomes our master, it is very dangerous.”
कठिन शब्द –
- luxuries = भोगविलास
- Surgery = शल्यशास्त्र
- conquered = जीतना
- transform = बदलना।
