Q) You are the president of the Environmental Society and have recently decided to publish a leaflet informing students and adults alike of its importance.

In your leaflet, include the following:

-Why protecting the environment is important 

-Why people might not be concerned 

-How can they be involved 

Nature Speaks!

Life if the Environment Restored

Nature speaks is a society/NGO with an initiative to protect the underwhelming state of the environment, hoping to bring about a change and ‘restore’ the country/world.

Why protecting the environment is important:  Surely, without a good and healthy environment, there would be no life on this planet. With the rise in damage to the environment, things have started becoming difficult.

This has led to many issues, such as:

-rise in sea levels 

-melting of glaciers due to increase in temperature 

-high carbon dioxide emissions 

-habits being lost/destroyed 

-people as well as animals suffering and dying due to unsuitable weather.

What leads to these issues:

In short, poorly handling and not taking care of the environment has led to these mishaps. These are sadly (however, unsurprisingly) mostly fine by our own species- human beings.

They have achieved this unfortunate circumstance through several ways, some being: 

-cutting down forest (deforestation), for their own sake.

-burning of fossil fuels in the cars, leading to harmful smoke from the exhaust.

-increase of temperatures due to global warming

-littering

-pollution

-hunting of endangered species.

Why people might not be concerned:

It has been acknowledged by a survey that since the past five decades, there has been and immense decrease of interest for the environment by teenagers and even young adults.

They do not see an impact of this damage to the environment in their live, which has led them to become careless and unbothered. 

They keep littering regardless of being earned about it several times. In addition, plastic bags are more in use than ever, and these same bags are not disposed off properly by them. They have become more lazy and have a short attention span. Some also always get things they want, whenever they want and do not want to give up their convenience such as clearing land by cutting down trees and using plastic bags.

Even old people might not be concerned, since they are aware that they will not be greatly affected as they do not have much time left, hence, without thinking about their future generation, they don’t bring an impact or help bring change.

Alongside, teenagers are quite used to global warming, that it has become normal now and they do not end up seeing the downside of it.

How can they be involved?

As much as people may think that they cannot really contribute much, they surely can.

Several campaigns, NGO’s (Non-Governmental Organisations) and protests have started to bring about a change to this cause, including this society.

People can start their own campaign/NGO and work as a group by working in different departments for different causes. Many can contribute by simply cleaning up, cleaning nearby lakes, ponds, gardens, parks and other polluted areas; remember, even the smallest change can bring a huge difference. Individuals have been working on advanced technologies. You could do so as well by coming up with sustainable methods of projects and technology. The three ‘R’s’ ( reuse, reduce, recycle) is a very short phrase that has been taught to us since day one. As long as you are following these precious ‘R’s,’ you are good to go, and surely now that you have been contributing in this war against environmental damage, and being in the 9.85% of the population that follows this efficiently.

Other ways you can get involved are:

-start petitions

-plant at least one seed/tree

-reuse energy

-avoid throwing litter and polluting 

-protect the environment 

Reviews by outcomes:

“Being part of this society has opened my mind a lot, it has helped me realise a lot about this precious Earth, and through it, I have made good progress.”

“This motivated me to help in any way I can, so, I spent my savings on cleaning the ocean with the help of others.”

“After many read this, you can see clear differences in areas where this society’s members have worked. I am extremely proud of everyone and myself for being part of a good cause.”

Key Knowledge 

The End of the Use of the Ink Era!

An overview about the handwriting- their misconceptions; does handwriting really matter? Or is it not as impactful as people say it is?

By Ursila

If you are here, then you are probably already thinking about the importance of handwriting, and are wondering, “Can I test it out to find out its accuracy?” You might be thinking, “will this benefit me in any way?” Well to find out for sure, keep reading as you’re about to glide into something helpful. 

Now you see, handwriting is not only about making work “pleasing to look at”. It has existed for more than five hundred decades, and without this fine invention, we wouldn’t be where we are right now. Nowadays there are several reasons why there is concern about it, and how it is helpful, and how it has been affected. 

Handwriting’s Importance

You may not realize the significance of this art, but it has a major impact on everybody’s life.

It is an exercise for your brain and body. Writing immensely enhances one’s mental development.

Your mind’s vision and sensation gets trained as strokes of pens sends messages to the brain. This in turn can boost your grades as writing improves memory. They can remember things better if they use the unique art of handwriting. See, at least even if you lose those sheets of paper, you will still remember many points compared to someone who does not write. “A small price to pay for salvation.”

Alongside this benefit, taking down notes by hand polishes reading skills and helps people in expressing ideas or themselves more.

Handwriting – How it is therapy:

What many do not realize is how writing can be highly therapeutic. 

Ever noticed how whenever you might be upset or mad about something, you pick up an ink device and let your thoughts glide through- a piece of paper calms

you down? How about giving it a go in case you haven’t. 

This happens as writing strengthens the immune system and mind, helping in releasing stress and anxiety. 

Reasons for the concern about handwriting:

• Technology:

There is more use of advanced technology,

from children aged barely two years old to adults, everyone owns one of these devices.

Why write when you can type?

More technology means less need for writing with your hand. Due to the growing number and usage of phones/laptops, everyone has become out of practice from writing. 

• Less work:

Everyone wants to find an easy way out in everything. People tend to find writing by hand tiring and “too much work”. 

It is a complex skill to master and becomes frustrating for people. Hence, they find it easier to type instead, without realizing how it will impact them. 

With practice, anything can be easily mastered. 

• Communicating skills:

Communication is affected. In order to communicate with others or to communicate through expressing your ideas, writing is important. Without this practice, an individual’s communication skill weakens. 

How technology has affected written communication:

As this generation progresses, there is a constant rate of increase in the use of devices, such as laptops, phones, ipads, computers and many more.

Children lack many skills, including reading, writing, and communicating etc. as they constantly use such devices. They end up forgetting things easily, especially content related to studies. 

Keyboards are much easier to use and master. Individuals find it easier to type, and when it

comes to being in touch and speaking, they find it better through texting.

Come on, be honest most of you reading this prefer

texting as a source of communication as well.

Mortals do not write letters- whether it be for

business or a love letter- it is no longer written. People have lost their skills and greatly depend on technology, which may not be so reliable. 

Things written by hand can be stored for decades. However, technology advances every day, and soon your “latest ” phone becomes outdated and the battery life decreases, increasing the risk of losing important 

data. 

In conclusion, handwriting holds great importance, and 

one can gain all the benefits from it by writing and writing more, having enough practice to master this art.

The writer’s tone is friendly yet entertaining. ” but my korean is virtually non-existent” and “I hopped on the bus and tried to relax with a book, focusing on the book was difficult as I had never done this journey before”. So despite  his seeming kindness, he was no help for me” The structure of this passage is in the form of a narrative text and the language varies from informal to semi formal.

Paragraph Writing. By Raima Shamsi

The sound of the ringing bell clashed with the roar of the threatening cobalt waves. Overhead, the sky boomed with bleached shards of lightning, sending my panic-stricken cat darting inside. Particles of sand and minuscule chunks of seashells rushed along with the fierce wind, creating a border between the sand and the sea. I gazed over at the beach, squinted my eyes, and saw an auric earring glint next to carcasses of washed up fish. Wet sand clumped underneath my feet as I walked over to inspect it. The taste of iron filled my mouth as I tried to clean the blood that penetrated out of my skin as I pricked my finger with the razor edge of the small gold earring. 

Paragraph Writing. By Huda Fatima

Chaos unleashed as the bell rang and I went towards the door. Just as my brother Bill entered, our cat Achilles ran towards him, hitting the table console, and knocking over the jar of decorative seashells. Glass shattered everywhere. Taking advantage of our distress, Achilles tried escaping the house. He was trying to get past Bill, as Bill, perplexed, shut the door close. A cry of anguish escaped Achilles, for his tail got caught between the door. Bill let him free by immediately opening the door. Achilles rolled his eyes to the back of his head, and left us standing confused. A few calm, quiet seconds later, a loud “meow” was heard and more glass was shattered. Bill I ran towards the lounge and saw the horror which had discharged. The fish tank stood no longer in one piece, and Achilles had our pet goldfish Aphrodite in it’s mouth. I kneeled down towards the un-tethered cat to try to get Aphrodite out of his mouth. Just as my hand advanced towards him, he put his paw up to scratch me, but I was able to move my face away. Instead his tiny hand got stuck in my earring and he sliced my earlobe in half. 

Paragraph Writing by Vania Jafree

As I walked down the beach, looking at the starry night sky fade away as the bright shining sun came out, the cool, gentle breeze blew my hair around. The seashells that were hung up in a cafe nearby kept on bumping into each other making a calming clicking sound. I could hear the church bells ringing to show it was time for prayer, a scrawny little tabby cat perked up as soon as they rang and ran into the bushes. The low tide kept washing up pebbles and old seaweed, the cold water felt like I was walking on ice.

Q) Describe a time when performing in front of a crowd. By Mahum Ali Awan

With bated breath, I stood behind the thick red stage curtains that were shielding me from the bright flashes that would soon encompass me as soon as the barrier of fabric was pulled aside.

Hours of preparation could never gird my loins for what awaited me.

Ultimate humiliation. 

My stomach was in knots, making me wish I could keel over and puke my guts out. Unfortunately, I could not. 

I can duly confirm that a medical phenomenon took place in my abdomen, as I waited for my impending doom, when I felt my intestines twist and turn. Nausea arose, as the hefty drapes were pulled apart. I swallowed the lump in my throat, or rather, tried to swallow it but it seemed to have refused to go down. 

I focused on my surroundings in order to divert my attention from the unsettling thoughts in my head. 

The first to catch my eye was the nearly full theatre, which was not a good sight for my queasy middle. I looked down and focused hard on the floor sheets, which gave an unsuccessful impression of an authentic hardwood floor, which were peeling from the sides and caused a fellow cast mate of mine to trip over them. I suppressed a smile as I strained my eyes to admire the hues of brown on the ground.

Thump. Thump. Thump. 

The pulsations of the music synchronized with my racing heartbeat, creating an entirely new kind of tune. 

Beads of sweat slowly formed on my temples, a rather large one slid down from the middle of my forehead and went straight between my eyebrows, then it stopped slightly before speeding down the slope of my nose. 

My chest rose as I gulped down air in order to cool my overheated build and reduce the copious amount of perspiration that had collected on my face and neck. 

It was finally time for me to begin my performance, as indicated by the redolent looks given by the director, a mousy looking man who had a wispy mustache. 

I opened my mouth to speak, but nothing came out. I cleared my throat – once, twice, thrice – but it seemed my vocal cords had refused to cooperate. The director’s glare grew even more menacing just as my face began to burn and I turned to flee from the stage of my embarrassment.

Q) Describe your lucky charm. By Zymal Rizwan

Thirteen. It’s a simple number some people refer to as an unlucky number but that wasn’t the case for someone like Zymal. Thirteen was an important number to her; it was her lucky charm and it wasn’t something she hid; she rather talked about it obsessively. 

Zymal was someone who a lot of people knew she was a singer or artist as some might say, it was true she did create art. She always wrote her own songs which were never meaningless; they were detailed and written beautifully. Some might say that she was successful as she was talented which was true but she always gave credits to her lucky charm. She had many reasons why it was her lucky charm and why it was also her favourite number. 

She was born on the thirteenth,she turned thirteen on Friday the thirteenth,she wrote a song called thirteen and the song became a hit once it was out,her first album went gold in thirteen weeks,her first song to ever go number one on the charts had a thirteen second intro(which she says she didn’t do on purpose),and every time she had won an award at an award show she sat in the thirteenth row or thrown “M” which is the thirteenth letter. She somehow always found ways to relate thirteen in things she does. She also talks about the time when she first won an award after a performance the producer had come to her and told her she’s going on in thirteen seconds and later she won the award she was nominated for and her performance went well as well. 

Another thing she does that she gets called nerdy for is to make sure she has a good show. One of her pre show “rituals” was to have her mother draw on a thirteen on her hand before every show with makeup and she never used to go on stage without it. One time she said that her mom couldn’t be there and she didn’t want to draw the thirteen herself as she felt it ruined the “ritual” so she didn’t end up drawing it in that same concert she fell down while singing a song and fell down when climbing the stairs as well and she remembers the concert after that when her mom did draw it in her hand went smoothly.

She had always thought about how her thirteenth album would be but knew that time was way to far so when two thousand and thirteen came around she decided to release an album then she usually did country songs and was known as a country singer but for this album she decided to switch genres to see if it worked for her as pop music was making a huge impact in the music industry. She was nervous about releasing the album as it was her first experience with pop music but the outcome and feedback was incredibly positive and the album became the most awarded pop album in history. 

Even it only being her first pop album it made a huge impact in pop-culture music as many people recognised it as a unique work of art and she thought she had never made a better decision and once again found it crazy that the album was released in two thousand and thirteen. 

She found it weird why people considered thirteen as an unlucky number as it had always been the best lucky charm for her and would always dream about getting ten more cats so she could have thirteen cats in total.
