Speech on independence day

Welcome back friends,
Today I am going to share a speech on independence day...

Hello, Viewers and all my dear friends. I am Sofia Naaz. Today on 15th of august, we all have gathered to celebrate 75th independence day of our nation. Before starting my speech, I want to say some lines about it. As we celebrate independence day with much enthusiasm and happiness, along with it, I have indicated some brief about negativity in our society, this speech is based on that. So let’s start it...

        Today’s day is very special for all Indian citizens because we got independence from britishers. Let me give you some brief information about how we got independence. Before Britishers ruled us, India was also called as the golden bird, because of much wealth and facilities. Therefore, we were famous all around the world. That’s why Britishers came here and ruled us. They ruled our country from 1757 to 1947, which is around 200 years.

            But now we are free, as an Indian, We should thanks to the freedom fighters such as Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, Sardar Valabhai patel etc. Who sacrificed their life to make our India free and Independent on 15 august 1947.

            After the 75th years of freedom, we have achieved many things and can have achieved more but because of the drawbacks of our politicians and decision makers which can had grown our country’s development but get stuck in corruption and we  people only select our politician and goes with what he/she does. It is our responsibility to see if the politician is doing right or wrong and if not, we should raise our voice regarding that. Secondly, till now lot of negativity exists in us and our surroundings like being discriminated against on the basis of their religion, race, caste, place of birth or whether they are male or female etc. That’s why we can't have that much as per the other country's development. Finally i want to say, as a responsible citizen, we should understand our responsibilities and duties. We should do hard work and develop our country.

Jai hind

Thank you

There are two types of book review titles - Strong Titles and Weak Titles

Strong Titles : Strong titles are those titles which attracts readers to read this book. 

For Example: A nail-biter that will keep you up all night etc. 

Weak Titles : Weak titles are those titles which doesn't attract readers and are written in simple language.

For Example: Good, Easy to Read etc.

Firstly, you can follow the below steps for writing a review -  

1. Start with a couple of sentences describing what the book is about
2. Discuss what you particularly liked about the book 
3. Mention anything you liked about the book.  
4. Mention anything you disliked about the book

Shortcut doesn’t work every time

Welcome back friends,

So today I am going to share a story and the story title is "Shortcut doesn’t work every time". It is my self-written story. So lets start it.

Long time ago. There were two friends, Ramu and Shamu, they were nature-lovers.

                                   

One day, they were sitting in a park then suddenly Ramu said “See!!! how beautiful is our nature” Hearing this Shamu said "Yes you are right but trees, flowers along with leaves have a big role in making our nature beautiful and green. Why not we plant a tree ourselves? It will be beneficial for our nature and there would be greenery all around” and they both agreed. But after some days, Ramu thought“ If we plant a seed, it will take a long time to grow it in a tree and we only have to take greenery. Isn’t it? Because for greenery, we have to take care of the plant, give manure, water, sunlight and that would be quite a long process. So, I can plant an artificial tree because we only have to take greenery, so why to wait for the tree to come?”. So  Ramu took an artificial tree and kept it but Shamu planted a real tree. He did as he had promised.

As Shamu’s tree grew bigger and bigger, One day, it started giving fruits with greenery and fresh air.  Seeing that, Ramu was feeling so sad as he was thinking that he was a fool, if planted a real tree like Shamu, with the greenery, his tree would also give him fruits and fresh air.

Thinking of the greenery only, he forgot about the fresh air and fruits. That’s why he didn’t get any fruit and fresh air from his plant. 

Moral - We didn’t achieve our goal without hard work with patience as we always get success after the difficulties.

Example : If we think about the education of the children and kids, there are many organizations which provides them attractive education through apps. An online app can’t understand their needs and areas to improve from the feeling they have like a teacher can. School and teachers teaches them in a pure manner like with feelings and emotions whatever apps like robots doesn’t have. As per my understanding, I say online apps as “Artificial Learning” because it gives them everything in shortcut and doesn’t let them use their mind. (This is only my perception. It depends on you about how you think about that.)

How to Summarise a story

Welcome back friends,
So today I am going to share the strategy of summarizing a story. So let's start it.

The strategy of summarizing a story is called SWBST strategy. It is used to summarize a story in very short time and only covers important points.

S - Somebody
W - Wanted
B - But
S - So
T - Then

For example - 

The Thirsty Crow

It was a hot summer day. A thirsty crow flew into a village in search of water. The crow flew over the houses, fields, and trees. But he didn’t find any water. After a long time, Under one of the trees was a pot of water. He was happy that he found some water finally, he flew down to the tree and landed down to the ground. He quickly moved towards the pot and looked inside. There was very little water in the pot. The crow put his beak inside the pot but could not reach the water. The water level was too low, and the narrow opening curved its neck. The crow was disappointed. He was really thirsty and needed a drink of water badly. He could have given up and flown to another farm, looking for water. But he didn’t give up. Instead, he looked around and thought “What else can I do?” He saw that there were a lot of pebbles on the farm. And then he had an idea! He collected a pebble and put it into the pot. He collected many pebbles and put them all in the pot. As he added more and more stones, the water level came up to the top of the pot. The crow drank the water and flew back home happily.

S - Somebody

Once there was a thirsty crow.

W - Wanted
He was looking for water and found a pot of water under a tree. 

B - But
But the level of water was too low.

S - So
So he dropped some pebbles inside the pot and water level rose up.

T - Then
Then he drank the water and happily flew away.

The Thirsty Crow
(Summary)

Once there was a thirsty crow. He was looking for water and found a pot of water under a tree. But the level of water was too low. So he dropped some pebbles inside the pot and water level rose up. Then he drank the water and happily flew away.

This is how we can summarize a story.

The wolf and the lamb

 Hello friends, so today I am going to share a story named "The Wolf and The Lamb".

Once upon a time, a lamb was eating grass far from the flock of sheep. It wasn't aware of that a wolf was coming towards it. When the wolf came near it, sheep said "You can't eat me. First let my stomach digest the food completely. Then my meat will turn sweet. So let me dance so that my stomach can digest it completely." When the lamb was dancing, it came with an idea of joining the flock again. "Dear wolf, can you ring my bell so that I can dance faster." said the lamb. The wolf agreed and started to ring the bell. The shepherd heard the voice and came running to save the lamb. He caught the wolf and saved the life of the lamb.

Moral - Small creatures can think faster than you.

Yummy!!

Hello friends, so today I am going to share my own-made poem "Yummy!!"

The tea is hot,

Which is in the pot.

But the juice is cold,

Which could be hold.

Also I love toffee,

Which is made of coffee.

I can eat a small sweet cake,

By drinking a small glass of a lake.

Really I could eat,

A bag full of sweet corn wheat. 

Everyone say that I am a sweet beast,

Which has been released.

The proud rose

 Hello friends, So today I am going to share a story "The Proud Rose".

In a forest, there was a rose. As the rose was proud of himself as everyone like it, but he was very upset of his family members like the roots, stem, leaves and thorns as they make him look very bad. In every situation, his family members helped it like thorns saved it from a florist who wants to tear it, stem kept it straight even when a strong wind blow, roots holding the mud tightly when the flood came, roots took mineral and vitamins from the soil etc. but these all can't make a change in the rose proudness. So they all thought of teaching a lesson to it. One day, they all stopped working for it as leaves started not making food for it, roots stop taking minerals and vitamins from the soil, stem stop becoming straight and thorns started not keeping it safe. Slowly the rose felt that it is getting weak as nobody liked it now and its colour was now not like before as it turned into an autumn flower. Now he understood the importance of his family members and asked them for help but they ignored helping it. He promised that from now he will not make fun of them. Now they all again started helping it to become beautiful again. Now he doesn't feel that his family members are making him bad in looking and was happy to have a helpful family.

Moral - We should not think anyone that it doesn't have any importance and is useless.

Eating too much

I have written a funny poem, especially for children which name is "Eating Too Much" 

"My sister eats too much,
I only hear her crunch.
She has been so fat,
That she can't fit her head on the hat.

My parents tell her to regain it,
But she uses her wit.
Says that it is not good for health,
But got the reply that for her it is wealth.

Right now she's having fun,
by eating a bun.
She did not want to stop,
For going to shop.

I tell her to regain,
But she tells me that it is not main.
In her stomach, there's a big hall,
And I don't mind at all."

Everyone is a hero

Hello friends,

So today, I am going to tell about a story.

The story I am going to share is in my syllabus

Story - Everyone is a hero

Summary-

One day, a mathematician called a meeting of number 0 to 9, but Zero(0) was nowhere to be found. The numbers searched and was found behind a bush and he was brought to the meeting. Mathematician asked about it and Zero(0) said "Sir I am Zero, I have no value. I was so upset that I hid behind the bush." The mathematician thought for a while and told one (1) to stand near Zero(0). Then he asked one(1) that what's his value and one(1) said "one" and asked zero to tell the value together and zero said "ten". Then he told Zero (0) like that if we made groups of zeros like that, 1 could be made as tens, hundreds, thousands, and even millions. From that day, zero was never ashamed of his value.

Lesson - We work better when we work together and we should not think that we are useless.

Heart

Heart

So today, we are going to learn about Heart

So, our heart is made up of four chambers - Right atrium, Left atrium, Right ventricle and Left ventricle

It starts from the upper right atrium, when the deoxygenated blood enters to our heart. Then the blood goes through the tricuspid valve to right ventricle which pumps the blood to the left direction through the pulmonary valve and then, through the pulmonary artery, it goes to the lungs and that's the place where it mixes with the oxygen. Then the oxygenated blood travels back through the pulmonary vein into the left atrium and then, through the mitral valve, it comes to the left ventricle and then pumps out to the rest of the body. This is how the heart pumps blood.

Prefix and Suffix

 

 Hello Friends,

Welcome back to my blog

So today, I am going to share about "Prefix and Suffix"
 

Prefix : Prefix is a letter or a group of letters which we put at the beginning of a word to change its meaning. For example: suppose we have a word possible. It means that anything i can do but if i add "im-" prefix to it so it will became impossible and its meaning will be change as its meaning will became anything that I can’t do it.

Suffix: Suffix is a letter or a group of letters that we put at the end of a word to change the meaning of a word. For example suppose we have a word fear. It means afraid. If I add "-less" suffix to it so it will become fearless and its meaning will be changed as its means without fear.
