Solution

In a survey conducted in the National Capital across twenty school on the areas of interest of the children in the age group 13 to 15 years, some interesting data was thrown up. The survey indicated that music related activities were most sought after, with sixty percent (60%) of the children showing a general inclination towards it. Cricket turned out to be second popular activity with forty percent (40%) of the students being avid players of the game. Theatre occupied the interests of thirty-five percent (35%) of the respondents surveyed. Finally Art of Dance each seem to have captured the imagination of twenty five percent (25%) of the children. It is seen that each child in unique with a different set of interests. Of course the survey was limited to the National Capital and by any means it cannot be extrapolated as the interests of children across the country. A survey was conducted in more than twenty schools in New Delhi about the different activities that interest the children in the age group of 13 years to 15 years. It was amazing to know that it was not playing cricket in which maximum students showed their interest. Rather music interests the maximum number of school children. Then, with a great margin, cricket becomes their second choice. It may be due to the reason that during corona period, children had to shift their preference to solo and indoor activities. Once more, with a slight variation, kids tend to be interested in theatre. Unexpectedly, these aspiring artists have ranked dance and art as their last but not least preference. Above all, the poll made clear the 'healthy' reality that developing kids prefer actual activities to digital ones.

Read the following paragraph about ‘The causes of pollution and the possible solutions’ and tabulate the same information.

Pollution is the contamination into the natural environment that causes adverse change. Pollution levels are increasing day by day. There are various reasons for it. Air pollution is caused chiefly by industrial pollutants and by increased levels of RSPM due to higher flow of vehicular traffic. Water pollution is caused to a large extent by industrial effluents and the immersion of POP idols. Sound pollution levels have increased due to blaring loudspeakers during festival time and increased volume of traffic.

In order to solve the problems of air pollution, the chief method seems to be tree plantation. More and more citizens and NGO’s should take up green causes with civic authorities. We need to protect our forest and conserve our mangroves. In order to solve the problem of water pollution, we need to develop effective waste management techniques. Also eco-friendly idols should be used during festival time. An awareness in general populace is very necessary to solve the problem of sound pollution. Strict enforcement of decibel levels during occasions and festival time by the police is a must.

Use the following table for your answer.

Man and forest live in a close relationship. The forest fulfils most of man's needs. He collects resin, cane, timber, food and fruits from forests. The fallen branch gives him firewood. Trees purify the polluted air. But men have been unkind towards the forest for a few years. People must be made aware of the value of forests. Planting campaigns should be launched. The government of the world should enforce severe laws against wrongdoers. Vast areas of forest lands should be declared nature reserves. Scientists and engineers should be encouraged to find substitutes for wood like bamboo, hemp, etc.
