Water pollution is a serious issue caused by various human and natural sources. Excess fertilizer and other pollutants are causing large algae blooms in lakes. The main sources of pollution are point sources like factories and non-point sources like agricultural runoff. While industries and agriculture are major contributors, domestic waste and individual behaviors also significantly impact water quality. Proper wastewater treatment can remove many pollutants but emerging contaminants like pharmaceuticals remain a concern. Preventing pollution requires conservation, responsible chemical use, and maintaining stormwater infrastructure. Addressing water issues will require awareness, education, sustainable practices, and global cooperation.
Screen printing and digital printing are two common textile printing methods. Screen printing uses a woven mesh screen to support an ink-blocking stencil and applies ink through the open areas of the screen onto the fabric below. Digital printing uses inkjet printing technology to place micro-sized ink droplets onto fabric directly from a computer design file. Both methods allow for localized color application and flexible designs, while digital printing enables very small minimum runs due to not requiring prepared screens. Key factors in choosing a printing method include design requirements, cost, minimum order quantities, and the desired finish.
Digital textile printing involves printing designs directly onto fabric from a computer without additional steps. It can print any design onto fabrics like cotton, polyester, and silk. The fabrics must be pre-treated to hold the ink better and achieve high quality. Common inks used are acid, disperse, and reactive inks for different fiber types. The printing process involves pre-treatment, design modification, printing with a digital textile printer, and finishing steps like steaming.

Tie dye is a technique for dyeing fabrics that results in interesting colorful patterns by crumpling, pleating, or folding fabric and tying it with string. Common fabrics used are cotton t-shirts, silk scarves, bed sheets, and clothing. The document describes several tie dye techniques including making stripes by rolling the fabric and tying loops, spirals by folding the fabric around a central point, dots by tying small pinched sections, floral dots by grouping pinched sections, and the accordion fold technique. The easiest method is crumpling the fabric randomly and wrapping strings all over it without following a pattern.

10. 7. Educational tour (museum)
· Educational tours are routine part of school curricula these days.
· I too went with my school to an educational tour
· It was to Shaheed Bhagat Singh Museum at Khatkarkalan, Banga
· I was in 10th class at that time.
· I remember how much we enjoyed.
· We learnt a lot about our freedom struggle also
· The museum displays memorable belongings of the martyrs of Punjab
· The museum was inaugurated on the 23rd March, 1981, on the 50th martyrdom day of S.
Bhagat Singh, Rajguru and Sukhdev
· The museum reminds us the toil, sweat and the sacrifice which Bhagat Singh gave for the
country’s freedom

11. 8. Family apart from your family
A Family you like
· A family is a basic building block of society
· I know a lot of families and I am well connected to the families of my aunts and uncles. So,
I belong to an extended family.
· The family I am going to describe here is of my aunt Jyoti.
· She is my father’s sister.
· My Uncle’s name is Jagtar and they have two children Deepa and Roop.
· They live in Phagwara in Hargobind Nagar.
· I like their family a lot because even though my uncle and aunt are very well off, as they
12. are both doctors, they are very down-to-earth.
· Even their children have no airs about them.
· They are liked by all people in my family.
· Both aunty and uncle are very magnanimous and always willing to help others with their
time and money.
· Deepa is doing here masters in biotechnology and Roop is doing mechanical engineering.
· Aunt and uncle are known for their hospitality.
· At least once a week their invite us all over for lunch or dinner.
· We also invite them over quite often.
· Whenever somebody in the family is not well you can depend on aunt for help
· Their home has warmth in it which cannot be described in words.
· All the time aunt and uncle seem to have minor quarrels with each but they take it in the
lighter vein and in fact are very amusing.
· In fact you enjoy being with them.
· The way aunt and uncle run their family and their nursing home and still have time for all
of us is amazing.
· They are indeed an ideal family.
13. 9. Polluted City
· Well ma’am pollution is a big problem these days
· There is hardly a place which is absolutely pollution free
· Here I am going to talk about a city Ludhiana which is very very polluted
· It has all sorts of pollution – air pollution, water pollution and noise pollution
· I went there last week
· In fact I go there quite often as my relatives live there
· Ludhiana is the industrial hub of Punjab
· Industries dump their effluents in the surrounding area and this causes water pollution
· The population of Ludhiana is far more for its size and this has given rise to slum areas in
the outskirts
· The people in these slum areas are mainly labourers from other states
· They too litter the place.
· There are many vehicles also which cause air pollution
· Whenever I come back from Ludhiana, I heave a sigh of relief
· Phagwara is relatively pollution free
· There is so much air pollution in Ludhiana that my eyes start watering.
14. 10. Law which is good
· There are various laws imposed by the govt from time to time.
· All these laws are for the benefit of the society in general.
· Without these laws we would be living in utter chaos.
· The law I am going to talk about here is ‘Ban on smoking in public places’.
15. · This law was made effective from 2nd October 2008
· It is the birth date of father of the nation Mahatma Gandhi
· In this law, smoking is strictly prohibited in public places , such as hospitals, courts, bus
stops, cinema halls and so on
· If any person is caught smoking in public places, he can be fined Rs. 200
· Smoking is very bad for health
· It is bad for the smoker and also for the passive smoker
· There are many diseases caused by smoking like
- Lung cancer
- Chest infections like Coughs (bronchitis)
· If a pregnant woman does passive smoking then the child can be born with defects
16. 11. Law which is good
· There are various laws imposed by the govt from time to time.
· All these laws are for the benefit of the society in general.
· Without these laws we would be living in utter chaos.
· The law I am going to talk about here is PNDT act i.e. Pre Natal Diagnostic technique Act.
· This was first enforced in 1994 and then amended in 2002.
· In this there is a fine of Rs 1 lack, imprisonment and cancellation of the registration of the
Doctor who is caught doing the test.
· It is a disgrace for the Indian society which considers the birth of a girl child as a bad
investment in future.
· She is considered a consumer rather than a producer and this narrow view point has led to
practices like female foeticide.
· The situation is worst in Punjab.
· In many parts there are only 700 girls per 1000 boys.
· This decline in sex ratio might lead to degradation of moral values of society resulting in
17. - Polyandry
- violence against women
- red trafficking.
· This low is being strictly implemented but still there is a fear that there is a fear that these
practices are going on in the back street.
· I feel that law alone is not sufficient .
· Other measures like-
- Providing old-age-pension to parents who have no son.
- Free and compulsory education for girls.
- Job reservation for women
- and equal share in property would also help.
· In the end I would like to say that all of us have to work together to form a gender
balanced society.
18. 12. A time when you helped someone
· Man is a social animal – a part of society.
· In a society everyone needs help of someone or the other
· I have also given and received help many times
· Here I am going to talk about a time when I helped a needy classfellow
· Her name is Suman
· I remember I was in 10th class
· She did not have money to buy books
· Her father suffered a heavy loss in business and was hospitalised because of depression
· I used to receive hundred rupees per month as pocket money
· I used to spend it all on chocolates
· I am very fond of chocolates
· I gave all the money to her
· I remember how her face lit up
· She bought the books
· Since then we’ve been the best of friends
· At that moment I found a great happiness
· I had never experienced such a feeling before
· I realised that some things can give more joy than eating chocolates
· I remembered the saying
- To have enough to share
- To know the joy of giving
- To thrill with all the sweets of life
- Is living

21. 14. Favourite movie ( BAGHBAN)
· I have seen many movies but the movie I like the most is Baghban.
· IT is directed by Ravi Chopra.
· The lead roles are played by Amitabh Bachan and Hema Malini.
· The movie shows the selfish attitude of today children and how they take their parents for
granted.
· After Amitabh Bachan retires his four sons are very reluctant to look after them.
· Amitabh and Hema are supported by an adopted son who really loves and respects them.
· Fortunately Amitabh’s book Baghban turns out to be a bestseller and he becomes rich
overnight.
· Now his selfish children again swarm around him like bees around honey .
· This movie gives the message that when parents look after their children, they should save
money for their rainy days that is their old age.
· After seeing this movie my respect for my parents grew and I began to look at things from
a different perspective.
22. 15. Story of A Film (‘Pinjar’)
· I have seen many films in my lifetime but here I am going to talk about Pinjar, which is
based on a novel written by Amrita Pritam

· Puro falls in love with Rashid because of his goodness
· Rashid gives her the option to go to her family in India but she refuses
· The film ends on a happy note

· The reason why I admire him is that his life shows how & ordinary boy from a deprived
class (poor family) could reach the highest level of the nation.
· He became not only the best rocket engineer but also the first citizen of the nation.
· It is true that he described his posting as the president as a piece of luck but his
achievement as a rocket engineer were absolutely because of sheer hard work.
· He is role model for one & all.
· The success of Dr Kalam depended on the fact that he was willing to grow daily.
· He learned everything that come to him &was looking for thing to learn.
· The real success of Dr.Kalam is in his application of the discipline, what he learned, in other
fields also.
· That is why he could contribute to artificial limbs of lesser weight.
· In him we find a person with insatiable quest for knowledge & with great love for suffering
fellow beings.
· I like everything about the book. There is nothing that I don’t like
· Another book he wrote is “The Ignited Mind”
19. Photograph
· I have a collection of many photographs in my album.
· Here I’m going to describe one in which my cousin and I are standing with our
29. grandparents in our farmhouse.
· There is a small round table on which there is a cake.
· I remember vividly, it was the golden jubilee celebration of my grandparents. My aunt
baked and iced the cake at home.
· She’s an expert cook. She only clicked the photo.
· That’s why she is not there in the picture.
· But her presence can be felt through the cake.
· Only the four of us were there in the picture.
· Last year when I celebrated my parents silver jubilee, I wished in my heart that I celebrate
their golden jubilee too.
· The tablecloth which is spread on the table was embroidered by my grandma. She had a
gifted hand in needle and thread work.
· Both my grandparents are no more in this world now.
· I really treasure this photograph as this brings back nostalgic memories of my childhood.
· Now I have a digital camera in which I capture precious moments.
· Maybe one day my children will value them.
· I like painting and drawing too but can’t find enough time for these arts out of my busy
schedule.
