Water

-


 Water is a liquid substance.  It is a combination of oxygen and hydrogen.  It is a principal element of our environment.  No living being can live without water.  So, water is called life.  It has no color, shape, smell and taste.  Water takes the color and shape of its container.  It always flows downwards.  We get water from rains, tube - wells, ponds, lakes, canals, seas, rivers and oceans The main source of water is the rain.  We bathe and wash our clothes in water.  Water is very essential for our agriculture, mills and factories.  Besides, trees and plants cannot grow without water. But impure water is very harmful to health and environment.  So we should not pollute water for our greater interest.  We should always drink safe water for our sound health.

A School Library

  The library occupies an important role in a school. No ideal school can run without a good library. The few books which we read as texts in our classes are not sufficient for our mental food. To widen our knowledge and to broaden our outlook, we must read many other useful books. A school library helps us here. In the library we come across 'the mightly minds of old' Moreover, by reading journals and periodicals we can know how the world is moving around us. Books also provide us with joy. They comfort us in sorrow and cheer us up in distress. They are our never-failing friends. A will-stocked and properly organised library is therefore an essential part of a school. In the words of Carlyle-"A true university of these days is a library of books."

     A village market  is held in open space in the centre of the surrounding villages. The paths of the villages lead to the market- lace. There is a daily market there. Of course, there is a difference hetween a 'Hat' and a Market'. A 'Hat' is not held like a 'market It is held only once or twice a week and it is more crowded than a market. However, there are various kinds of shops in the village market. The villagers get rice, dal, oil, vegetables, fish, meat and all other necessaries of their dily life from the market. Farmers from far and near come there with their products to sell them off. They sometimes rejoice at their profit and despond over their loss. A village market is the main centre of economic activity of the villages. The traders of the village carry on good business there. Thus the village market bears a vital importance in the life of the villagers.

A Railway Station

  There is always a buzzing sound at Howrah Station. The passengers stand in a queue to collect their tickets in front of the ticket counters. The station is always crowded with passengers, hawkers and the porters. There are stalls of pedlars, book-sellers and waiting rooms in such large stations. Vendors shout their trade cries. Who has not heard the trade-cry 'chagaram' or "Thanda Pani' in the railway station? When a train reaches the station, the passengers hurry to get off the train. At the same time passengers waiting for the train want to get into the train. As a result, a collision of two groups of passengers takes place. Sometimes it requires some gymnastic skills to get into the train. Ultimately when the time of departure of a train arrives, the signal nods and the train leaves the station. The whistling sound of the departing train creates a sense of vacuum in the minds of the passengers.
