Internet - Good or Bad It is now easier than ever to access the Internet, whether you are using a computer or a phone or a tablet. There is no doubt that many young people are spending more and more time online, with both positive and negative consequences. One advantage of the Internet is that young people can do research for their schoolwork and homework. This often helps teenagers to widen their knowledge and improve their grades. Another positive aspect of the Internet is that people can practise foreign languages by chatting to friends from other countries. This is also a good way of keeping in touch with friends and family members around the world. On the other hand, there are also some negative consequences. Some young people become addicted to online gaming and this can mean that they waste too much time playing these games. This can have a negative effect on their schoolwork, the amount of exercise they get and their social lives. In addition, excessive Internet use can mean that some young people hardly talk to their families because they are always on the computer. To sum up, spending time on the Internet can have a negative impact on young people, but it is also has many advantages. Personally, I think the Internet is an incredible tool and the benefits of Internet access outweigh the dangers. However, we should be careful not to use the Internet excessively.

Sample newspaper articles Rampant pesticide use risks health Anita Singh July 19 KATHMANDU: Most of the commercially produced vegetables available in the market are found to be unsafe for consumption, thanks to an excessive use of chemicals during their cultivation. “We are consuming poison along with vegetables,” scientist Ram Babu Paneru at Nepal Agricultural Research Council told this daily. “The farmers have been using pesticides and insecticides excessively in the farms, posing a threat to human health. “Unprescribed use of chemicals is harmful for both the farmers and consumers,” he added. “It spoils the taste of vegetables and has environmental hazards.” Consumption of such chemicals affects the nervous system and can cause impotence, liver and kidney dysfunction. They can also cause disabilities in children and miscarriage in women, in addition to causing skin, heart and eye ailments. Book 9 302

Paneru found that the farmers used the chemicals at wrong intervals. “I was shocked to hear that they mix pesticides, insecticides and vitamins together before spraying in the fields,” he said. The vegetables must not be consumed for a number of days after pesticide application. Farmers were found to be immediately sending their products off to the markets. Dr. Shree Baba Pradhan, senior entomologist at NARC, blamed the government for the sorry state of affairs. “There are no effective policies on the implementation of the existing ones,” she said. “Consumers should be made aware about their rights and the agro-vets need to be provided training on pesticide application.” (Source: The Himalayan) What leads youths into drug addiction? HIMALAYAN NEWS SERVICE Kathmandu, June 6 There are no conclusive reasons to exactly figure out what leads today’s youth into drug addiction. Peer pressure, misunderstanding between family members, frustration, poverty etc are some of the reasons known to many of us.Youths below 25 years are prone to fall into the vicious trap of drug addiction. Eighteen-year-old Ram (name changed) from Kathmandu began taking drugs from the age of 16 while studying in Grade XII. His parents had issues at home and they quarrelled with each other frequently. This made his stay at home troublesome and he started taking drugs. “Due to misunderstanding between my parents I didn’t like to go home. So I began to stay with at my friend’s home and slowly became a drug addict,” said Ram. Abin KC, founder president of Maya Nepal Drug Alcohol Treatment Centre, Lalitpur, informed that people below 25 are prone to drug addiction. Mostly, frustration, lack of family support, unemployment and low self esteem lead adolescents to drug addiction, said KC. He further said only 30 per cent of such addicts return to their normal life whereas rest of the addicts continue using drugs. EXERCISE a.

Listening provides the aural input that serves as the basis for language acquisition and enables learners to interact in spoken communication. Listening Test Tips: When the monitor gives you a question paper, write your name, symbol number, name of your school and district on it.

Give your full attention on the tape while it is being played. Don’t look out the window or at what else is going on in the exam hall. Make sure your mind is focused. If you feel your mind wandering, change the position of your body and try to concentrate on the speaker’s words. When the tape is played for the second time, listen for the ideas that you need to solve the second question. This is called setting a purpose for listening.
