सार्थक एवं पूर्ण विचार व्यक्त करने वाले शब्द समूह को वाक्य कहा जाता है। प्रत्येक भाषा का मूल ढांचा वाक्यों पर ही आधारित होता है। इसलिए यह अनिवार्य है कि वाक्य रचना में पद-क्रम और अन्वय का विशेष ध्यान रखा जाए। इनके प्रति सावधान न रहने से वाक्य रचना में कई प्रकार की भूलें हो जाती हैं। वाक्य रचना के लिए अभ्यास की परम आवश्यकता होती है।

(ग) कोई, प्रत्येक और हर एक के साथ एक वचन तथा सब कोई के साथ बहुवचन क्रिया आती है।
(घ) मुहावरों का रूप बदलना नहीं चाहिए।

Diwali is an important Indian festival. It generally falls in the month of November. It comes twenty days after Dussehra. Shri Ram came back to Ayodhya on this day. Shri Guru Hargobind was set free by the Mughal Emperor on this day. This festival is celebrated in every village and town. Houses and shops are painted in new colours. People light their homes with candles and electric lights. They buy sweets and toys. They distribute gifts among friends and relatives. Children enjoy fireworks at night. On this day, people worship goddess Lakshmi. Some people gamble on this day. It is an evil. It should be ended.

2. Good Manners

Outline : Good manners oil the machine of life ……… earn us respect ……… ‘please’and ‘thank you’settle bitter quarrels ……… should be observed respect elders ……… be polite to the younger ……… talk less and listen more ……… take turn in queue ……… civility of behaviour is a moral obligation ……… bad manners create bitterness.

Good manners oil the machine of life and keep it healthy. They are necessary in every walk of life. They are a double blessing. They give us inner joy and also keep others happy. They earn us respect also. So we should be courteous in our behaviour. We should respect our elders and be polite to younger ones. We should talk less and listen more. We should take turn in queue. We should never forget that civility of behaviour is a moral obligation. While bad manners create bitterness, good manners win us friends. Even simple words like ‘Please’ and ‘Thank you’ settle bitter quarrels. If we have good manners we can make journey of life successful not only for others, but also for ourselves.

3. My Motherland

Outline : India my motherland …… most people live in villages …… many big cities …… land of saints …… big country …… Himalayas …… Indian Ocean …… fertile land …… brave and wise people …… proud of my motherland.

India is my motherland. Most of the people here live in villages. There are many big cities also. Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata and Chennai are some of them. India is a land of saints. It is the land of Kalidas, Kabir and Guru Nanak. India is a very big country. In its north, there are the Himalayas. They are the highest mountains in the world. The Indian Ocean is in its south. India is a land of big forests, lakes, valleys and rivers. They add to its beauty. The soil of India is very fertile. It gives us many kinds of crops. India is a land of lions, tigers and elephants. And Indians are brave and wise people. They are peace-loving people. I am proud of my country and its people.

4. Fashion Among Students

Outline : Students …… most of the time in front of the mirror …… very particular about clothes …… hairstyles …… show off…… inwardly hollow …… no attention to inner development…… a foolish trend.

Most of the time of students is spent in front of the mirror. They want to decorate themselves in such a way as to attract every eye. In their desire to look modern and attractive, they go crazy for new fashions. They dress themselves in the latest styles. With every change in fashion, their hairstyles also change. To be in the latest fashion seems to be the only care of our young boys and girls. They care so much for their exteriors that they have no time to attend to their interiors. They frequent the beautician for facials but never visit the library for books, journals or periodicals. If ever they carry some book or journal in their hand, that, too, is never meant for reading but merely for the sake of fashion. I hate these modern clowns.

5. Discipline

Outline : Discipline necessary …… house…… classroom …… assembly …… office ……playground …… without discipline confusion, disorder and chaos…… no work or progress possible without discipline …… training of mind.

Discipline is necessary in all walks of life. Any house without discipline will surely go to the dogs. A teacher can’t teach if his students don’t keep discipline in the class. The head of a family won’t be able to run his family if its members don’t maintain discipline. The members of an assembly must observe discipline if they are to do any good job. No office can function without discipline. Even in a playground, the players have to obey the rules of the game. They have to play under discipline. Without discipline, there is bound to be confusion, disorder and chaos. No work or progress is possible without discipline. It is discipline which enables a nation to march on the way to progress. It must be kept in mind that discipline can’t be enforced by law alone. It is training of the mind. It has to come from within.

6. A Small Family Is a Happy Family

Outline : Small family enjoys life …… food and clothes of their choice …… expenses limited …… enough money …… enough time …… enjoy luxuries of life.

A small family enjoys life to the full. The couple may enjoy the food of their choice. They can wear clothes of their liking. They have only one or two children. So their expenses are limited. They can enjoy life in any way they like. They have enough money to spend on the education and clothes, etc. of their children. They have a lot of time to look after their children. They can work hard and buy their own house to live in. They can enjoy luxuries of life. It is rightly said that a small family is a happy family.

7. Fast Food — a Health Hazard

Outline : Present-day life affects eating habits …… taken to fast foods …… such foods lose value and taste …… oily and spicy …… cause various diseases …… should not be eaten.

The present-day fast life has affected our eating habits also. We have taken to foods that can be cooked fast and eaten fast. But such food loses much of its value and taste. Fast foods are generally prepared at wayside eating stalls and cheap restaurants. They are ill-cooked. They are very oily and spicy. They can cause a number of ailments in our body. They can- give us ulcers and even cancer. Habit of taking fast foods is suicidal. It is in our own interest to give it up. Fast foods are junk foods and junk should be thrown away rather than be eaten.

The vendor boys were moving in and out of the train. There was a great rush because of which there was a lot of jostling and elbowing. But after the train left, it was all quiet at the platform and the platform gave a deserted look.

9. The Scene at an Election Booth

Outline : The election day full of excitement …… my school …… polling centre …… lavish activity …… rush of voters …… cars, minibuses used to bring candidates from homes …… free drinks offered to voters …… polling officer enquired the names of voters verified identity cards …… after casting vote, ink mark put on, voter’s left forefinger …… booth closed at 4 p.m.

पत्र-लेखन के सम्बन्ध में कुछ आवश्यक जानकारी

2. नई विधि के अनुसार पत्र-प्रेषक का पता तथा पत्र लिखने की तिथि कई बार ऊपरी दाएं कोने में लिखने की बजाए बाएं कोने में लिख दिए जाते हैं, और प्राप्तकर्ता का नाम, पता तथा सम्बोधन करने के शब्द, आदि भी इसी के साथ नीचे लिख दिए जाते हैं तथा इनके लिखने में विराम-चिन्हों का प्रयोग भी लुप्त कर दिया जाता है। पत्र के अन्त में पत्र-प्रेषक अपना नाम या हस्ताक्षर भी बाईं तरफ़ ही डालता है। यह विधि यद्यपि कुछ अटपटी सी प्रतीत होती है, फिर भी बहुधा लोग इसे अपनाना बेहतर मानते हैं।

Your friend, Ashok, met me a few days ago. He told me that you have become a bookworm. You do not care at all about your health. You do not take part in games. It is not good on your part. Games are a part and parcel of education. Health is wealth. You can’t have a sound mind without a sound body. No doubt, you are good at studies, but you have a very poor health.
I advise you to be careful about your health. You should go out for a walk daily. Take part in games also. You must improve your health. One can’t enjoy one’s life without good health. If health is lost, everything is lost. Be a good boy. I hope you will act upon my advice.
With love
Yours affectionately

Dear Hitesh
You will be glad to know that I went to Agra during the last Christmas holidays. Our history teacher arranged this tour. There we visited the Taj. It has a majestic look. It is a large and beautiful building. It stands on a raised platform. In the middle of the platform, there is a splendid white dome. At its four corners, there are four stately towers. Underneath the white dome are the marble tombs of Mumtaz Mahal and Shah Jahan. The Taj was built by Shah Jahan in the sweet memory of his beloved wife. It is made of pure white marble. The beauty of the Taj beggars description. It looks like a fairy dressed in white. We stayed there for about two hours. I left the place most unwillingly. Its memory is still fresh in my mind.
With love
Yours affectionately

I beg to draw your attention to the insanitary condition of Gali Ram Nath in this city. Mainly poor people live in this area. Perhaps that is why no Sanitary Inspector
has ever visited it. There are very few proper drains here. The drains are not cleaned regularly. These are never flushed with water. No dustbins have been provided. People throw all their refuse here and there. Flies and mosquitoes buzz about. All this gives this area a very dirty look.
I hope you will take suitable measures to improve the sanitary condition of this area.

Environmental pollution is the biggest problem facing the modern man. Only recently has our government become aware of the gravity of this situation. More attention is being paid to afforestation. The unauthorised felling of trees is being checked. Scientists are developing methods to minimise the effect of smoke let out by our autos and chimneys. In fact, environmental awareness is a social necessity. It is not only the duty of the government, but also a social responsibility of the masses to keep the environment free from pollution.

About The Problem Of Begging

The Editor
The Indian Express
Delhi
Subject : The problem of begging Sir
The problem of beggars has assumed an alarming proportion in the city. Some beggars, no doubt, deserve our sympathy. They are handicapped. But the pity is that most of the beggars are able-bodied. Begging has become a profession for them. Some of them are criminals. They beg only to hide their crimes.
Begging should be abolished by law. Able-bodied beggars should be forced to work. If they go without work, they must also go without food. We should not encourage them by giving alms. People can thus play a big role in ending this evil.
Yours truly
Ramesh
