  Essays   The Role of School Sports             There is an adage 'All work and no play makes Jack a dull man. A student who is good in sports as well as in academics, develops an overall personality which is reflected in his or her life. It gives him strength, a sense of discipline and how to associate with other players. School sports make school life more interesting.               Now-a-days all the colleges and schools have sports as a part of compulsory curriculum. So for this purpose schools have big playgrounds. They have big playgrounds to accommodate games like football, hockey and cricket. Some schools also provide their students games like basketball, volleyball, table tennis, lawn tennis and badminton. School sports play a very important role in teaching a student team spirit. They teach a student to play the game for the sake of playing and not for the sake of winning. So spirit of healthy competition and discipline is taught to the students.               Some schools even have gymnasium to develop a child's physique and mind. A student can apply the sportsman spirit in his everyday life also and learn to accept defeats with a smile. Sports also teach us that practice makes a man perfect and hardwork really pays in the end. School and college sports also help the student to choose careers in sports itself. So school sports should be encouraged and concerned authorities should see to it that schools make proper provision for this.   Planting Trees               Trees and forests play an important role in our lives. Trees give us wood which is used for fuel for furniture and different industries also depend on trees. Trees exhale oxygen and take in carbon di-oxide which is important for clean air. They also give shelter to animals and birds. In summers, they provide shade to tired human beings.               But now-a-days people have started cutting down trees for their selfish reasons. They are endangering our environment. If people continue to cut trees there would be no greenery left on earth. The trees prevent soil erosion, which is very important for agriculture.               In hilly region, there is less danger of floods if trees are there. The roots of trees also store water in them. They beautify our surroundings and purify our air. But if there are no trees left then the whole area would become a desert.     Paragraphs   Plastic Pollution            We are living in the age of pollution. The plastic bags used now-a-days are the biggest waste which can produce unavoidable pollution. If we put this waste under the mud or earth, it will destroy in 400 years. In this way the fertility of earth will be finished. If we burn this waste, the gases produced will increase the pollution level in the air. The problem will be ended only when we stop using these bags and bottles or recycle this waste. Hence we can eliminate plastic pollution.   Metro Rail in Delhi   Metro Rail in Delhi Metro Rail project is the biggest boon to Delhi transportation. Actually the daily passengers of Delhi were fully dependent on Bus Transport. This was not enough for the 60 lakh commuters in Delhi. Metro Runway is the modernised system for the Public transportation. One has to wait hardly six minutes to get the train for his destination. It is comfortable in comparison to the buses and other means of transportation. The system of ticketing is hassle free and nobody can travel without ticket.

Science is changing the face of everything. Science has given us so many things which makes our life easier and comfortable. But on the other side of it, it has some adverse effects on it. And the chief concern is Global Warming. Our globe is in danger, world is in danger, countries are in danger, cities are in danger and in short you can say we all are in danger. According to scientists, the end of Earth may be soon due to flood because the ice in the mountains is melting. Due to this the water level is increasing. Similarly weather is becoming very cold or very hot or a heavy rain which is again risk to human life.   If I were the Prime Minister   One of the most prestigious positions in India is of the Prime Minister of India.

The horse began to run but it fell into a hole and broke its leg. Reflecting on all that had happened, I thought: ?Evil begets evil. If I continue in my evil ways, I will surely be overtaken by evil. So I decided to change?. The minister went away convinced that the time was ripe to overthrow the king and seize the throne. Immersed in thought, he did not see the steps in front of him and fell, breaking his neck.   R:  ?No more cruelty, no more injustice, ?he promised, and he was as good as his word. He became known as the ?Gentle Monarch?. Months after his transformation, one of his ministers plucked up enough courage to ask him what had brought about his change of heart. And the king answered, ?As I was galloping through my forests I caught sight of a fox being chased by a hound.   S: The fox escaped into his hole but not before the hound had bitten into its leg and lamed it for life. Later I rode into a village and saw the same hound there. It was barking at a man. Even as I watched, the man picked up a huge stone and flung it at the dog, breaking its leg.
