Plants can provide food, shelter, clothing, or medicine. What is one kind of plant that is important to you or the people in your country? Use specific reasons and details to explain your choice.
------------------------
Plants provide us with food, shelter, clothing, medicines, and even the air we breathe! In this essay I will elaborate some of the ways that people rely on plants.
Plants provide healthy ecosystems that perform functions, like purifying air and water. Green plants harness energy from sunlight through the process of photosynthesis. With every breath we take, we get the oxygen that is by-product of that reaction. Plants also play a role in the water cycle.
Furthermore, plants provide the food. Even the carnivorous animals, like lions, need plants, because the preys they consume are plant eaters. Wheat, Rice, Pulses and all crops including vegetables like cabbage, potatoes, carrots, peas etc are the byproducts of plants that are consumed by human as principal food.
Besides, plants also provide protection and shelter. The wood from trees is used in the construction of many of our homes. Cotton and other plants provide us with the materials we used to make many of the clothes we wear.
In addition, plants are used for making medicines. Particularly Indian Ayurvedic medical science makes all medicines from plants and herbs. Aloe-vera is a plant that is used in cosmetic products and medicines for skin troubles.
Over and above, Bio-diesel is a diesel-equivalent that is processed fuel derived from biological sources (such as vegetable oils). This can be used in unmodified diesel-engine vehicles.
Before we conclude, Corn supplies hidden ingredients in products ranging from soap, glue, and pencil erasers to bath powder, nail polish remover, and plastics. Ingredients in many cosmetics and body lotions, such as aloe and jojoba, are also derived from plants. In nutshell, plants can provide us food, shelter, clothes, medicines and many more.

“Plan Free Time Activities”
Some people prefer to plan activities for their free time very carefully. Others choose not to make any plans at all for their free time. Compare the benefits of planning free-time activities with the benefits of not making plans. Which do you prefer - planning or not planning for your leisure time? Use specific reasons and examples to explain your choice.
-----------------------------------------
I prefer planning the activities regardless they are related to business or free time. Planning is a fundamentally intelligent behavior. A psychological process of thinking about the activities required to be performed in a given time frame.
Planning is an anticipatory decision making process that helps in coping with the available time and money. It is selection of missions, objectives and translation of knowledge into action. A planned performance brings better results compared to unplanned one. “He, Who Fails To Plan, Plans To Fail”. Planning is deciding in advance what to do, how to do it, when to do it. It bridges the gap from where the organization is to where it wants to be. The planning function involves establishing goals and arranging them in logical order. A plan can play a vital role in helping to avoid mistakes or recognize hidden opportunities. Preparing a satisfactory plan is essential. The planning process enables one to understand more clearly what one want to achieve, and how and when one can do it.
In a well-prepared plan the doer knows what he or she has thought of, what is the time available for the activities, what are the funds available. Depending on all those factors one can decide what to do, when to do, how to do and last but not least when to finish it up with all the available resources. This will be most enjoyable if it is for free time activities.
In conclusion, even from our “Kinder Garden” days we are taught to have a “Time Table” and strictly follow that. A time table is a plan for performing our activities. Hence we should do all our activities whether free time or business in a well planned manner.

“Physical Exercise Every School Day”
Some people say that physical exercise should be a required part of every school day. Other people believe that students should spend the whole school day on academic studies. Which opinion do you agree with? Use specific reasons and details to support your answer.
----------------------------------------
I agree that physical exercise must be a part of every day, not only during school career, but physical exercises must be the part of everyday schedule for the entire life. Physical exercises one can do by performing gym exercises or playing games and sports. Simplest and the best exercise is early morning walk in natural setting. In this essay we will see all about physical exercises and its importance to students as well as adults.
Games are means of entertainment and physical exercise for students as well as adults. Playing games improves physical and mental health. Furthermore playing games has very good effect on the mental as well as physical health of the individual regardless of age. Regular exercises keeps us physically fit always hence it is most vital aspect of our lives. Remember “Health is Wealth”.
Studying for long periods during school hours may become very tiresome, monotonous and boring for the students. In order to refresh students they must be given time to play games and sports or the physical exercises during school hours on daily basis. There must be a scheduled games period in daily time-table of school. Furthermore, in this computer systems era, education is also highly demanding, students are overloaded with books and reading materials. Many of the students have to remain glued to their computers for long hours and adults too are awfully busy in business activities and other family and social obligations. There is a considerable lack of physical exercise in our lives. Sedentary lifestyle gives rise to problems of obesity; overweight; and muscular pains. If those people include exercises or games as a part of their daily schedule; those health problems shall be minimized.
In nutshell daily exercises is important for students and adults too.

“Pets”
Many people have a close relationship with their pets. These people treat their birds, cats, or other animals as members of their family. In your opinion, are such relationships good? Why or why not? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
-----------------------------------------
Pets are an important part of our lives. Most popular pets world wide are dog, cat and parrot. Animal lovers treat them in par with the dearest family member. I am also a dog lover and I have a dog named Hardy, nine years old Spitz. I love my dog.
I have read of a lady who suffered breast cancer. When her Oncologist most reluctantly gave to understand that she may live for three more months, she was shocked. She went and bought many pets of her choice and started playing with them in her back yard. Unaware of the time, after half a year when she went for another checkup, to the utter surprise of the Oncologist and her, she showed no sign of breast cancer. Cancer was gone.
Pets help reducing mental tension and anxiety. It is recommended in management books also to keep pet that retards mental tension and undue worry and anxiety among top brass that can cause them peptic ulcer. Dogs take care of your house, farm, and property. Dogs in particular are very possessive. They help you to overcome the loneliness and give good company.
Similarly dogs do help handicap people like blind, amputees or polio sufferers by guiding them the way and even helping them move by pulling their wheel chairs. It would not be out of place to mention here that dogs do take care of sheep and cattle and those dogs are known as German Shepherds.
In nutshell pets are most loyal, absolutely undemanding and still they give unconditional love that is most superior to all. They are an important part of our own daily lives and contribute often unmeasured benefits to our mental health. We must love our pets.

“Personal Happiness & Relationships”
In achieving personal happiness, our relationships with other people (family, friends, and colleagues) are most important than anything else. Issues such as work and wealth take second place.
Do you agree or disagree? ---- Write minimum 250 Words.
--------------------------------------------------------
I fully agree with the statement that for achieving personal happiness our relationships are the paramount importance. Every one strives for happiness and I am no exception.
Family members are the ones with whom we spend major portion of our lives and so they do. They are our number one supporters in this world. We love them the most and vice versa. They are closest in relation to us. We must have very strong relationship with our family members.
Friends occupy positions of extreme importance in our lives. Friends can have great influence over many areas of our emerging identity. Our choice of music, movies, clothes, boyfriends or girlfriends, classes, jobs, and so on. In some case, it doesn’t stop here; it also covers the personal standards of behavior, our performance, morals and values. This makes it especially important for us to maintain good friendship.
Furthermore, identical to friends, colleagues also have a great influence on our lives even if they don't realize it, just by spending time with us. We learn from them, and vice versa. It's only human nature to listen to and learn from other people. Colleagues can have a positive influence on each other. Colleagues build a sense of trust, respect, and mutual support and they are no different than friends.
In conclusion, key to building strong relationships with family, friends and colleagues, our interpersonal communication is a paramount importance and “Top Priority”. However all other issues like business work and wealth get second priority. Interpersonal communication skills gives greater self confidence; one can win the heart of his or her dream partner, or save the marriage, one can manage the staff and deal with people outside of the organization and achieve personal happiness.

“People Work for Money”
People work because they need money to live. What are some other reasons that people work? Discuss one or more of these reasons. Use specific examples and details to support your answer.
--------------------------------------------
The main reason for working with majority of population is earning money. However some exceptional individual may have some different reasons for working.
The reasons for working are as individual as the person. Nevertheless, we all work because we obtain something that we need from work. Reward thus obtained from the work impacts morale, motivation, and the quality of life. Some people work for personal fulfillment; others work for love of what they do. Others work to accomplish goals and to feel as if they are contributing to something larger than themselves. The bottom line is that we all work for money and for reasons too individual to assign similarities to all workers. Frederick Irving Herzberg a noted psychologist, who became one of the most influential names in business management, considers that 'feelings of self-improvement, achievement, and the desire for the acceptance of greater responsibility' are more important than money to the people.
In contrast, very interestingly, Directors have all the job satisfaction they need or want. They carry considerable responsibility and success often depends on individual effort. They have nicely and often luxuriously furnished offices, dine in the directors' dining room, have the benefit of a company car and last but not least work with pleasant colleagues in a pleasant way. It is because they have all the job satisfaction, what they want is money that is more important to them.
In a nutshell different people have different motivation and objectives behind work. Hence it cannot be generalized that people work only for money.

Prior to 14th century mankind used to dwell in jungles with no proper food, clothes or medicines. People never knew to protect themselves from dangerous animals and poisonous reptiles.
