National Integration is the sense of collective identity among the citizens of a country. It means that despite being from different cultures and religions, people of a nation recognize that they are all one and stand together. Our ancestors fought for the independence of the country for this only.

• National Integration is very important for a country and its people.
• The unity in diversity helps the country move forward as one.
• It creates a sense of belonging and togetherness which helps in building a stronger society.
• Under troubled times, the people can stand together and help each other as they identify each other as of the same country.
• It is not limited to national spirit. Diverse people work together to create innovative solutions for their collective success in the future.
• It leads to healthy economic development as people from different corners of the country come together to build a healthy economy.

National Integration is the real strength of any country. Despite our different religions, castes, and languages we all have one common identity which is our country.

Junk food is bad for health. Unhealthy Food that contains excessive calories and almost negligible nutrient value is called junk food. Fast foods like burgers, pizza, cold drinks, etc. are categorized as junk food as they contain a high amount of fat but lack in nutrients.

A teacher is someone who not only teaches us a particular subject but imparts us knowledge of essential life lessons. My Favourite teacher is Ms Shipla. She teaches us the subject of social studies and is also our class teacher.

• Ms Shilpa is an excellent teacher. She makes sure that everyone understands the basics of the topic.
• She stays far from the school and travels with us on the school bus.
• She carries her extra books in her bag.
• Ms Shilpa has excellent teaching skills and is very patient and at times humorous also.
• She is very punctual and enters the class 5 minutes before it starts and expects the students to do the same.
• I always go to the class on time and adequately finish all my homework. She gives us chocolates when we do well in studies.
• She is strict when I comes to studies but instead of scolding when someone doesn’t complete their homework, she explains to them the importance of doing work time.

Because of her social studies is my favourite subject. She is a very enthusiastic and motivating person.

I am a student. My daily routine is straightforward and is the same every day except for the weekends. I wake up very early in the morning as my school begins at 7:30 in the morning. An early start to the day also helps to keep my mind fresh and focused.

Laughing is the key to a healthy and happy life. I love to sit and laugh with my close friends and family. Everyone has a different laugh and seeing someone else laugh makes us feel good too. But not everything is similarly funny for everyone as we all have a different taste in humour.

• I laugh the most when I see a comedy movie. The funny characters in the film make me laugh a lot.
• I find it hilarious when someone mimics the sounds that the animals and birds.
• Watching cartoons is a favourite thing to do. I laugh a lot while watching Duck-tales and Winnie- the Pooh as all characters are very humours.
• I also laugh a lot when grandfather makes jokes. He tells stories mixed with silly jokes and our family enjoys laughing while he narrates.
• I burst into laughter when someone tickles me in my stomach.
• Sometimes I even laugh at the different laughing style everyone has.

Laughter helps us relieve stress in our mind, but we should never laugh at someone’s distress. Instead of laughing at people we should laugh at people.

I think that friendship is one of the essential things in our lives. No matter how one’s nature is, everyone requires a close friend with whom they can relate. Friendship is built between two people who share similar interests and feelings. My friend and I tell each other all our secrets because we trust each other.

• Friendship is built on trust and sharing.
• Real friends are invaluable and should be treasured more than gold.
• Friends provide strength to face stressful situations in life. They provide moral support when we are down.
• They rejoice in our success and motivate us to achieve higher goals in life.
• Building a strong friendship takes time and efforts but gives us a friend for a lifetime.
• True friends offer positive advice at every step of life. When we go wrong, they stop us and direct us in the right direction.
• Friends don’t judge us by our looks, social status or material things.

In friendship, the most important thing is to be selfless. Unless we cannot be a good friend to someone, we cannot expect them to be faithful to us.

Visiting historical places is very informative and enlightening. I visited one such historical site called Hawa Mahal on my recent trip to the city of Jaipur. It is located in the center of the town and was easy to reach by bus. There were many tour guides outside, but I preferred to be my guide using the book I had purchased at the railway station.

• Hawa Mahal was constructed in 1799 by Maharaja SawaiPratap Singh.
• He built it so that the royal women could have a serene atmosphere during the scorching summers and watch the celebration of various festivals on the streets.
• On entering the palace premises, I was struck by the sheer beauty of it. The small windows of the palace looked mesmerizing from the outside.
• Inside the palace, there are several doors that led to different parts of the building. As I explored through each entry, I found that all the handcrafted designs in each room were unique and meaningful.
• As I climbed to the top floor, I reached the Hawa Mandir, which presented a beautiful view of the city of Jaipur and the Aravali hills surrounding it.

This trip left me wondering how such a magnificent structure was built without any technology or machine.
