Hi friends,
 Knowledge explosion is one of the unique features of internet. But compiling that knowledge into composition, essays, paragraphs or articles in English is a little tricky. The flow of language is interrupted while compiling.  I have done a few for you. Students! Please take this as your reference and write your own essays.
Here are some of the essays:
Essays, compositions ,Articles
 Article : “How each one can contribute towards a pollution free environment”
                                          -Basuhi Ravi      
                                                        
Mahatma Gandhi quoted, ” There is enough in this world for man’s need but not for man’s greed”
But we humans have desolated the earth, vitiated  the air and befouled  the water to such an extent just for our mere greed. This is what in scientific terms is called pollution.
How many times we have made projects  and assignments on the topic            ” pollution,” how many articles we have written on the same and how many lectures and speeches we’ve listened to. Well , that ensures that our generation is quite aware and yet the detrimental environment conditions are just detoriating. The reason for this condition is that our knowledge about pollution and its prevention is just theoretical,” written in paper” and not at all of any practical and operative significance.
Thus this means that we need to put our ‘know how’ into practice. let us now list out a few ways in which we as individuals contribute something to prevent any further defilement to mother nature.
In order to reduce pollution we should restrict the use of personal vehicles as far as possible and even if we do drive, always maintain them properly keeping its emissions under control, switching it off at traffic junctions and use horns only when it is utterly necessary. Public transport and car pools also help to reduce pollution quantitatively. Other than this,the most obnoxious of all, I feel is throwing litter on the ground. Earth is not our dustbin. We should ensure that garbage is disposed properly and also segregate into biodegradable and non biodegradable if possible. The bane of 21st century urbanization is plastic. We should avoid them as far as possible. Even if it is used get them recycled. Another byproduct of industrialization is E-waste or electronic waste-that is truly very noxious to the environment. Thus electronic goods should be used judiciously and its waste used innovatively. Energy conservation is another aspect of prevention .It helps greatly to reduce pollution. So switch off unnecessary lights , electrical appliances and reduce the combustion of fossil fuels
 The last but the most important thing is to help grow trees to purify the defiled environment. Afforest to make the earth green and lively again !

Essay: If I were an angel………
         Our teacher gave us the topic ‘If I were an angel…’ to write an essay. I was in the bed thinking of the essay and about the content. then…..
         The television sound  interrupt my thinking. I went there to tell my sister to keep the volume down. There I saw in television….The gunmen in Mumbai were shooting so many innocent people without any reason.  I thought if I were in front of them…hey! What a surprise ….I was there in front of them with a magic wand in my hand and wings on the sides and dressed in white. Then I waved my magic wand to fill their mind full of love for others. It made the terrorists to stop violence and surrender themselves .Changing the minds of eight terrorists is not enough. So I waved my wand to remove the hatred feeling from all the terrorists of this world and fill their mind with love for their fellow beings. This would keep terrorism out of the world. I felt proud of myself for doing this.
          Then I was flying through the streets. There I saw a constable trying to get bribe from a two wheeler. I felt, bribery is a big problem in our country. The greed for money makes the people to get and give bribe.  From a traffic constable to a cabinet minister have this greedy. I waved my magic wand to remove the greediness for money from all Indians mind. For my surprise, the traffic policeman allowed the  two wheeler to go without getting any bribe.
          I started flying in the city. The sky was beautiful. Suddenly my dress became dirty. I couldn’t breathe easy. I found out the reason while looking down. I was flying over an industrial area. Pollution… I closed my eyes and waved my magic wand to stop pollution. At that time I felt some thing hitting me. I opened the eyes. That was my sister shouting at me as I was lying in her place.
          Oh… all that was a dream. If I were an angel, I will make my dream come true. 
Essay: drug abuse and addiction
“road accident! four killed! Driver under influence of alcohol”
 “Boy killed father for not giving money”
   These lines often hit the news paper headings. These are mainly due to drug abuses. Many people think this is not of their concern and their family members are more good enough to that they won’t come across these experiences in their life. But the truth is opposite. Any person at any can indulge in drug abuse so all should be aware of drug abuse and drug addiction. In this article I am going to discuss about a little bit of drug abuse.
                         Drug abuse refers to regular intake of substances which are hazardous to our health. These substances vary from prescribed medications, alcohol, cigarettes to narcotic drugs such as cocaine, hashish, heroin etc. The use of these substances also produces a craving or a physical addiction, which leads to regular intake of the drugs. These drugs can be swallowed, sniffed, inhaled, injected, absorbed through skin or dropped into the eyes.
Reasons for people start using drugs
                      There may be many reasons to start up drug abuse by a person many  times the company or friends that a person keeps, may be responsible for his habits. Most of the time teenagers pick up these habits under peer pressure. Other than these, emotional  reasons  such as not being loved, depression, low self esteem, to escape from stress, feeling neglected, stress in the family, bad parenting are some  of the reasons for starting up drug abuse. Once there is a start up, many persons change it into a habit, because of a euphoric feeling they get due to seduction, and become a drug addict. Even if they want to get rid of their habits, the withdrawl syndrome never allows them to do so.
Effect of drugs in our body
                 Any drug once inside the body alters the metabolism of it. These above mentioned drugs intoxicates our circulatory system and affects our central nervous system and the brain. The brain loses its control and produces anxiety depression, changes in mood, insensible decisions etc. The conditions produced by these drugs in our body are irreparable.
Ill effects of drug addiction
                 Malnutrition, memory loss ,health  detoriation, psychotic behavior, aggression, brain damage, lesser reflex actions etc. are some of the  ill effects of drug addiction. Apart from this, the drug addict indulges in criminal activities like burglary or prostitution to get money for drugs even they go to the extent of murdering the parent who is refusing to give money. If a pregnant woman is alcoholic then the child will be prone to many diseases. The over of drugs may even cause death.

Symptoms of drug abuse
             There are many symptoms physical as well as behavioral, which are common in drug addicts. by which we can easily identify whether a person is under the habit of drug abuse or not. Some of them are
§  Bloodshed eyes or pupils that are larger or smaller than usual.
§  Changes in apatite or sleep patterns
§  Slurred speech ,impaired coordination
§  Sudden weight loss or weight gain
§  Detoriation of physical health
§  Sudden change in friends and hobbies etc.
§  Unexplained need for money or financial problem. may borrow or steal to get it.
§  Engaging in secretive or suspicious behavior.
§  drop in attendance and performance at work or school
Prevention and cure
             Always prevention is better than cure. A little bit of attention and love from the side of the family members would the person from indulging in this kind of activities. Speaking   freely to the teenagers about every thing in the world reduce the risks of falling victim to this type of abuse.
          There are many ways to treat the person if he fall prey to this bad habit. But a physician supervised program is the most appropriate and safe.
         So parents and spouses always beware of drug abuse and prevent it.
