Writing Skills
Q.A) Write a paragraph on “Effects of Land Pollution on Human Health”
Answer:
Land pollution is considered kinds of one of the disastrous form of pollution that has adverse effects on the health of the living beings. It can be defined as “the destruction of the earth’s surface by such activities of man that may exploit land resources.” Even knowing the harmful consequences of land pollution, we are not paying that much attention to the issue which is indeed required by us on an urgent basis to save the planet Earth and its residents.
Any sensible individual can simply correlate land pollution with human health. A list of syndromes is associated with the particular issue such as problems related to human respiratory system, it can be responsible for skin diseases, and it can be a great source of causing various kinds of cancers. The lethal resources that pollute the soil can get into the human body directly by coming into contact with the skin, breathing in polluted dust or particles, being washed into water resources like reservoirs and rivers and eating fruits and vegetables that have been grown in polluted soil.
All of us are aware of the reality that the damage being done to the motherland is irreversible but if we put our heartfelt efforts to show our reverence towards it, we should stop land pollution from our homes, this will definitely work on a large-scale saving of the earth.
Q.B) Write an application to the principal of your school for arranging separate bins for dry waste (plastic, glass, paper).
Answer:
The Principal,
Government School,
A.B.C.
Subject: Application for Arranging Separate Bins for Dry Waste
Respected Madam,
It is stated that I want to put forward a proposal with respect to the waste disposal issue. Yesterday in science period we had a discussion on the most alarming and thought-provoking matter of the present time i.e. 3 R’s (Recycling, Reuse, Reduce) and Solid waste disposal.
After that we all realized in order to have a safe, clean and fine-looking environment, it is imperative that we should have bins at every nook and corner of the locality. In this way, people would be aware of their responsibility of throwing garbage in the bins. With respect to school, we should fix separate bins for different types of materials like plastic, wood, paper, glass etc. As a matter of fact, some materials can be reused and recycled. So, if we divide the garbage into sections, it would be easier to reuse and recycle the materials. Through this action, an awareness program can also be initiated among the students of all the grades about the proper waste disposal activity.
I hope you would act upon the proposal soon and install separate bins for dry waste in the school on an urgent basis.
Yours obediently,
X.Y.Z.

Examination Hall
City A.B.C
December 7, 2015
The Executive Officer
Environmental Protection Agency
Islamabad.
Subject: Irregular Collection of Solid Waste
Dear Sir
It is to inform you that being the resident of one of the aristocratic area of Islamabad for the past fifteen years; I am confronting an immense problem related to the irregular collection of solid waste.
Some months back it was not an issue; the other residents and I were quite relieved to see your team performing a marvelous job in collecting and disposing of the solid waste on time. But then, I do not know why the collection team started showing irresponsible behavior in collecting solid waste from our area. Irregular collection of solid waste forced the residents to throw garbage out of their homes which in turn creates a filthy ambiance, stinking air, and a perfect habitat for mosquitoes and other harmful bacteria.
Kindly ensure timely and regular collection of solid waste from our area so again we can have a clean and healthy environment to live in. Hoping for a favorable response soon.
Yours Sincerely
X.Y.Z.
