News Break

Now why so loving, darling,

And why the sudden kiss?
You’d help me with some little jobs?
For goodness sake, what’s this?

Your face is clean for once, dear,

Your clothes without a crease.
You saved your luncheon money?
Will wonders never cease?

No dropping of your school books,

No shrieking, childish treble.
Today you are a lamb, love,
Where yesterday a rebel.

But surely you’re some stranger,

No rage or hullabaloo.
Come closer, let me look, dear,
Can this be REALLY you?

Now were you struck by lightning

Or were you stunned at sport?
Ah … now I see the reason.
You’ve brought your school report!

Answer option :

On the whole, if the country, if the country is beautiful, tourists will be attracted and visit
often. This helps our country to have a better state of economy.
Good morning, teachers and members of the Parents Teachers Association. I am very
honoured to be chosen to give a speech on the title “Love The Environment” on this special
day.
Rivers are beautiful gifts of nature. If the rivers run free and not treated as a spot for
disposing rubbish, many sea creatures can be protected. Many birds can also live to their
fullest if they are not threatened with pollution. The trees should not be cut by the loggers as
they wish. The acts, of destroying nature can contribute to ecology imbalance.
We all know that our nature consists of water, land and air. We need clean air, land and water
to live healthily. We, the human beings are the agents of cleanliness. We must not throw
rubbish or scatter dirt everywhere. If we do not practise this, we are responsible for the
spreading of many diseases.
Furthermore, we can also live in harmony and happily enjoy the everlasting beauty of nature.
Thank you
