Solution
Anne was very good at writing. Her Maths teacher, Mr. Keesing, was annoyed because she talked too much in class. To punish her, he gave her an essay titled “A Chatterbox.” Anne wrote that talking was a natural trait for girls and that she would try to control it, but she could not promise complete success. Instead of getting angry, Mr. Keesing laughed and gave her another essay, “An Incorrigible Chatterbox.”
Later, he asked her to write on “Quack, Quack, Quack,” said Mistress Chatterbox. Anne wrote a funny poem about a mother duck and a father swan who punished their ducklings for quacking too much. Mr. Keesing was impressed and read her poem in other classes. After that, he allowed Anne to talk and stopped giving her extra homework. This incident shows her creativity, humor, and strong writing skills.

To match the best cities across the world, the Government of India initiated ‘smart cities’ to drive economic growth and improve the quality of life of people. The agenda under smart city promises to resolve urban sustainability problems. Urban forests provide a range of important ecosystem services that are critical for the sustainability of cities. Urban forestry, which is defined more as ‘Management of Trees’ contributes to the physiological, sociological and economic well-being of the society. Mangroves, lakes, grasslands, and forests in and around our cities, act as sponges that absorb the air and noise pollution and they present themselves as our cultural and recreational hotspots. However, these spots are rapidly being reclaimed and replaced in the name of development. Presence of urban green has shown to increase the economic value of the place.
Urban forests contribute to reduce the cost of building storm water drain systems for municipalities and neutralizing urban heat island effect. Plants not only provide shade but also help in regulating the micro-climate. They help regulate energy budgets, improve air quality, and curtail noise pollution. Trees, herbs, shrubs, and grasses arrest sedimentation and prevent other pollutants from entering our water systems. This will give a chance for our urban lakes and rivers to recover and help improve aquatic ecosystems. Biodiversity also gets a boost through the urban forestsand helps create corridors connecting the forest areas. High biodiversity areas can also help to build resilient ecosystems. Availability of forests within our urban areas gives an opportunity for children to connect to the natural environment and learn about native species.
