We now use mobile phone in our everyday life as a phone, voice recorder, diary, alarm clock, watch and for making and confirming appointments, dealing with clients etc. Mobile phones are not simple electronic gadget and it is difficult to define in one way about the usage of mobile phones.
Mobile phones are really convenient as you can call anyone and anywhere to ask anything, with the help of mobile phones we all stay connected with our friends and relatives who stay far away from us. They help us a lot as when we are in problem, we can contact our friends and family members. We can pass our time when bored by playing games on mobile. Our phones keep us informed about everything happening around us. You don't need a camera as you can click amazing pictures with mobiles.
Inspite of these advantages mobile phones are a big distraction and don't let us concentrate on our studies. It affects our health also that it affect our eyesight and the rays coming out of the mobile phones are really harmful.
As everything has advantages and disadvantages, mobile phones also have its own adva-ntages and disadvantages. It is up to us that how can we use these gadget and make it useful for us.

The 15th of August is one of the most important date in the history of our country. On this day in 1947 we became independent from British rule. So every year we celebrate this day as Independence Day.
The freedom fighters of our country gave up their lives to end the British rule in India. Every year, we remember the sacrifices of our freedom fighters and pay homage to them.
This day is celebrated every year with great joy. Early in the morning school boys assemble in their schools. The flag is hosted by a reputed person. All teachers and students salute the National flag. They all sing national anthem together. Sweets are distributed among the students.
This day reminds us about the sacrifices made by our leaders. This day is very important for us. We should live an honest life and respect our country. This will bring prosperity to the nation.
Or
Write a paragraph describing a sport/Game you like most.
Ans. Criket-I like most
My favorite sport is cricket. It was first started in the 16th century in England. It is an outdoor game which is played in broad area, using a bat and a ball. The batting and bowling teams are decided based on a coin toss. It is played between two teams having 11 players in each team. The team that scores the highest number of runs is the winning team. There are three popular formats of cricket. i.e., test match, one-day international (ODI) and T-20. Kapil Dev, Sachin Tendulkar, Virat Kohli are famous players of cricket. I enjoyed this game most because playing cricket not only entertains us, but also keeps our health good.
