    Drugs have become very common in society. It is a social evil which makes the person hollow from inside. Drugs are of many kinds, but basically the harmful ones are the narcotic drugs. Person once used to it cannot come out of the habit. He or she becomes addicted to it and it becomes impossible to pass a day without taking the dose. The body becomes so accustomed to it that without it the person feels lifeless. These drugs along with harming the health also harm the pocket. They are very expensive. People try to get it by hook or by -crook and if they don't have money, they indulge in wrong activities like theft and selling off their own expensive things. These days youth is becoming addicted to it. They are harming not only themselves/ their families but also the society. A watchful eye should be kept on the people who sell it and strict actions should be taken against them. People addicted to drugs should .be sent to rehabilitation centres before it becomes loo late.

    Good Morning
    Respected Principal/ teachers and my dear friends. Today, I, Garvit am going to express my views on the topic 'Machines are good slaves but a bad master".
    We are living in the age of machines. We cannot imagine our lives without fans, vehicles, electrical appliances etc. but it is sad that we are becoming its slaves, because we are becoming addicted to the comforts these things provide us. They are simple machines; when they stop working we become helpless.
    Today even to cover a small distance we need a vehicle; we don't want to walk. If there is no electricity we behave as though we cannot live without it. Most of our household works come to a stop. But it is really sad that we don't think that due to these habits we are putting ourselves into trouble. We are being attacked by many diseases as we don't do any physical exercise. These diseases are obesity, diabetes, heart attack etc. at a very young age and many of these diseases are fatal.
    Therefore, we all should use machines judiciously. You should be its master. It should work as your slave. Thank You.
