Analytical paragraphs
Q1. Positive effects of quitting smoking (who study)
 The concept chart from a recent who study highlights the numerous positive effects of quitting
smoking. within 20 minutes of quitting, heart rate and blood pressure normalize, reducing
immediate cardiovascular strain. After 12 hours, carbon monoxide levels in the blood drop to
normal, improving oxygen flow and overall respiratory health. Over the next 2-12 weeks,
circulation and lung function improve significantly, reducing the risk of heart disease and
enhancing physical endurance. Long-term benefits include a reduced risk of stroke and lung
cancer, with the latter dropping by half after 10 years of quitting. The study also emphasizes
mental health improvements, such as reduced stress and anxiety, better focus, and increased
energy levels. These findings underline the importance of quitting smoking for both short-term
and long-term health benefits. additionally, quitting smoking positively impacts the
environment and reduces secondhand smoke exposure for others. The who study serves as a
powerful motivator for smokers to adopt a healthier lifestyle, highlighting how quitting smoking
can lead to a longer, healthier, and more fulfilling life. it also encourages governments and
organizations to promote anti-smoking campaigns and provide support systems for individuals
trying to quit.

Q2. Division of household tasks by gender in great britain

 The chart illustrates the division of household tasks by gender in great britain, revealing a clear
disparity in domestic responsibilities. women spend significantly more time on tasks such as
cooking, cleaning, and childcare, while men focus on outdoor activities like gardening, diy
repairs, and car maintenance. For example, women dedicate nearly double the time to cleaning
compared to men, highlighting traditional gender roles in household management. Men, on the
other hand, contribute more to tasks like gardening and repairs, which are less frequent but
often require physical effort. The data also shows that women are more involved in daily chores,
while men’s contributions are sporadic and task-specific. this unequal distribution of household
work reflects societal norms that place a heavier burden on women for domestic duties.
however, modern trends suggest a gradual shift toward shared responsibilities, especially in
younger households. The chart underscores the need for equitable division of household tasks
to promote gender equality and reduce the workload imbalance. Encouraging shared
 responsibilities can lead to healthier relationships and a more balanced lifestyle for both
genders, fostering mutual respect and cooperation in managing household duties.

Q3. Factors for success (bar graph analysis)

 The bar graph highlights people's opinions on the most important factors for success,
showcasing a variety of perspectives. hard work is identified as the most critical factor, with the
highest percentage of respondents prioritizing it. Determination follows closely, emphasizing the
importance of persistence and resilience in achieving goals. Education ranks third, reflecting its
role in shaping opportunities and providing a foundation for success. Interestingly, luck and
networking are rated lower, indicating that most people believe success is driven by intrinsic
qualities rather than external factors. The graph also reveals generational differences in
priorities. Younger individuals place greater emphasis on education, viewing it as a stepping
stone to success, while older respondents prioritize hard work and determination, likely based
on their life experiences. The data suggests that while external factors like luck and networking
play a role, intrinsic qualities such as dedication, perseverance, and skill development are widely
regarded as key drivers of success. This analysis highlights the importance of fostering a strong
work ethic and determination while recognizing the value of education in achieving long-term
goals. Overall, the graph underscores the belief that success is primarily a result of effort and
persistence rather than chance.

These paragraphs are now expanded to meet the 200-word requirement while maintaining clarity and
relevance.

Q1. Letter to the editor complaining about school-bus drivers

C-156, janakpuri

New delhi

Date: [insert date]

The editor

The times of india

New delhi

Subject: complaint against rash driving and overcrowding of school buses

Dear sir/madam,

I am writing to express my concern regarding the reckless driving and overcrowding of school buses in
our area, which poses a serious risk to the lives of innocent school children. the drivers often indulge in
rash driving, ignoring traffic rules and endangering the safety of passengers. additionally, the buses are
frequently overcrowded, with children forced to stand or sit in unsafe conditions.

This negligence not only jeopardizes the safety of students but also creates anxiety among parents.
Despite repeated complaints to the authorities, no action has been taken to address this issue. I urge
you to highlight this problem in your esteemed newspaper to draw the attention of the concerned
authorities and ensure strict enforcement of safety regulations for school buses.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Yours sincerely,

Dipti/deepak

Q2. Letter to the editor advocating solar energy

146, mayur vihar

New delhi

Date: [insert date]

The editor

The hindustan times

New delhi

Subject: plea to switch to solar energy

Dear sir/madam,

I am writing to appeal to the public to adopt solar energy as a sustainable alternative to conventional
electricity. with rising electricity bills and the depletion of non-renewable resources, it is imperative to
switch to solar energy, which is both eco-friendly and cost-effective.

Solar energy not only reduces dependence on fossil fuels but also helps in combating climate change by
lowering carbon emissions. Installing solar panels in homes and offices can significantly cut electricity
costs and contribute to a greener future. Government subsidies and incentives for solar energy adoption
make it an accessible option for many households.

I request you to publish an article in your esteemed newspaper to raise awareness about the benefits of
solar energy and encourage people to make this transition for a sustainable future.

Thank you for your support.

Yours sincerely,

Divyansh

Q3. Letter to the editor about loudspeaker nuisance

17e, ravi dass road

Kochi

Date: [insert date]

The editor

The hindu

Kochi

Subject: nuisance caused by loudspeakers during examination days

Dear sir/madam,

I am writing to draw attention to the growing nuisance caused by loudspeakers during examination days
in our locality. despite strict regulations, loudspeakers are used at high volumes for religious events,
celebrations, and public announcements, disrupting the peace and concentration of students preparing
for their exams.

This constant noise pollution not only affects students but also disturbs the elderly and sick residents in
the area. Repeated requests to local authorities have yielded no results, and the problem persists. I urge
you to highlight this issue in your newspaper to prompt the authorities to enforce noise control
regulations and ensure a peaceful environment during examination periods.

Your support in addressing this matter will be greatly appreciated.

Yours sincerely,

Prabhu kumar/parvati

Q1. Brief report on "project tiger"

Project tiger: a conservation initiative Project tiger, launched in 1973 by the government of india, is one
of the most significant wildlife conservation programs aimed at protecting the dwindling tiger
population. The initiative was started under the leadership of the then prime minister, indira gandhi,
with the goal of ensuring a viable population of tigers in their natural habitats and preserving areas of
biological importance.

Key features of project tiger include:

 Habitat protection: establishing tiger reserves across india to safeguard their natural habitats.
 Anti-poaching measures: implementing strict anti-poaching laws and deploying forest guards to
prevent illegal hunting.
 Community involvement: encouraging local communities to participate in conservation efforts
and providing them with alternative livelihoods to reduce dependency on forest resources.
 Scientific monitoring: using advanced technology like camera traps and satellite tracking to
monitor tiger populations and their movements.
 Awareness campaigns: conducting educational programs to raise awareness about the
importance of tiger conservation.

As of recent reports, project tiger has been successful in increasing the tiger population in india, with the
country now home to over 70% of the world's tigers. This initiative highlights the importance of
collective efforts in preserving biodiversity and maintaining ecological balance.
 Q2. Rules of reported speech
Rules of reported speech:

Reported speech is used to convey what someone has said without quoting their exact words. Here are
the key rules:

Change in pronouns: pronouns in direct speech are adjusted according to the context of the reporting
sentence.

Example: he said, "i am tired." → he said that he was tired.

Change in tenses: the tense of the verb in direct speech often changes in reported speech, depending on
the reporting verb.

Present tense changes to past tense.

Past tense changes to past perfect.

Example: she said, "i like coffee." → she said that she liked coffee.

Change in time and place words: words indicating time and place are modified.

"today" → "that day"

"tomorrow" → "the next day"

"here" → "there"

Example: he said, "i will come tomorrow." → he said that he would come the next day.

No quotation marks: quotation marks are removed, and "that" is often used to introduce the reported
clause.

Example: she said, "i am happy." → she said that she was happy.
 Questions:

For "yes/no" questions, use "if" or "whether."

Example: he asked, "are you coming?" → he asked if i was coming.

For "wh-" questions, retain the question word.

Example: she asked, "where are you going?" → she asked where i was going.

Commands and requests: use "to" + verb for commands and requests.

Example: he said, "close the door." → he told me to close the door.

These rules help in effectively transforming direct speech into reported speech while maintaining clarity
and meaning.

Both tasks are presented creatively and concisely, adhering to the requirements.
