Answer

The Changing Face of Our City
By Gauri

From my bedroom window I can hardly recognise the city I knew five years ago. Green trees have been replaced by concrete buildings, wide roads are crowded with vehicles, and smoke hangs over the houses. Plastic waste blocks drains and dirty water collects near the footpaths. Children and older people struggle to breathe in the polluted air. Development is useful, but careless development is dangerous. We must protect trees, use public transport, control factory smoke and keep our neighbourhoods clean. If citizens and authorities act now, our city can become healthy and beautiful again. Otherwise, progress will leave us with an unhealthy future.

Show answer

Answer

Children and T.V.
By a Student Writer

Television advertising has a strong effect on children. Bright pictures, catchy music and famous actors make products appear exciting and necessary. Children may then pressurise parents to buy unhealthy food, expensive toys or unsuitable clothes. Advertisements also create the idea that happiness depends on owning things. Television can be useful when children watch educational programmes with guidance, but unlimited advertising encourages passive habits and materialism. Parents should discuss advertisements with children and help them distinguish information from persuasion. Schools can teach media awareness. Balanced viewing, outdoor play, reading and family conversation will help children become thoughtful viewers rather than easy targets.
