A survey was conducted by your school on how many children walk down to school, how many use their own transport, how many use the school bus and how many come in private vans. The findings are given below.
Based on the pie-chart given above write a paragraph analysing the information 'Preference of Private vans to school buses'. Think of reasons for this preference by some parents is it more convenient and safer. (100-120 words)
उत्तर
According to the study, private vans are just as popular as school buses for transporting kids to and from school. The private vans' ability to pick up and drop off customers at their homes is the primary justification for this. It's a luxury that very few kids can afford. To get to school, the remaining 30% choose to either take public transport or their own vehicle. 10% of the class still commutes on foot.
According to the pie chart, parents favour private vans and school buses for the ease of home pickup and the safety they offer since kids don't have to cross busy streets and roads to get to the pickup locations. The fact that buses have set routes they must follow and are prohibited from entering alleys or shortcut lanes is another factor contributing to parents' preference for private vans. Due to this, there are fewer locations where parents can pick up and drop off their children from school.

Orlando lived happily with the Duke and his friends, but he had not forgotten the lovely Rosalind.

'These trees shall be my books', he said, 'so that everyone who looks in the forest will be able to read how sweet and good Rosalind is.' Rosalind and Celia found some of these poems pinned on the trees.

The bird's body was placed in a pretty red box; they wished to bury it with royal honours. While it was alive and sang they forgot it. and let it suffer want in the cage: now. they cried over it and covered it with flowers. The piece of turf. with the little daisy in it, was thrown out on the dusty highway. Nobody thought of the flower which had felt so much for the bird and had so greatly desired to comfort it.

Mahatma Gandhi's thoughts on Satyagraha 'It is said of "passive resistance" that it is the weapon of the weak, but the power which is the subject of this article can be used only by the strong. This power is not passive resistance; indeed it calls for intense activity. The movement in South Africa was not passive but active ... .' 'Satyagraha is not a physical force. A satyagrahi does not inflict pain on the adversary; he does not seek his destruction ... In the use of satyagraha, there is no ill-will whatever. 'Satyagraha is pure soul-force. 'Truth is the very substance of the soul. That why is this force is called satyagraha. The soul is informed with knowledge. In it burns the flame of love ... Non-violence is the supreme dharma ... 'It is certain that India cannot rival Britain or Europe in force of arms. The British worship the war-god and they can all of them become, as they are becoming, bearers of arms. The hundreds of millions in India can never carry arms. They have made the religion of non-violence their own ...' |
