Article Writing Class 8 9 12

What is Article Writing?

Article writing is when you write something that gets published in print or online. It could be news, research findings, academic insights, or even a debate topic. Usually, articles appear in newspapers or magazines.

Article Writing Class 8 9 12

The format of an article includes these parts:

1. Heading
2. Byline
3. Body

HEADING – The heading should be interesting and not more than 5-6 words. Be creative but don’t spend too much time on it during the exam.

BYLINE – This is the name of the person writing the article. It’s usually provided in the question. If it’s not given, do not write your personal details.

Note: Never mention any personal details when answering in the exam.

BODY – This is the main part of the article, usually made up of 3-4 paragraphs.

PARAGRAPH 1: Start with a short introduction to the topic. Briefly explain what the article is about, using quotes or surprising facts to grab the reader’s attention.

PARAGRAPH 2 or PARAGRAPHS 2 & 3: This part can be in one or two paragraphs. You should analyze the topic completely, which might include:

Types: Mention the different forms or types if applicable.

- - Current Scenario: Describe the current situation, any problems, and improvements if actions have been taken.
- - Advantages/Disadvantages: Depending on the topic, include the pros and cons.
- - Cause and Effect: Explain the relationship between cause and effect using facts or data. Mention the consequences.

- - Any other relevant information.

PARAGRAPH 3 or PARAGRAPH 4: This is the conclusion. Always finish what you start—never leave an article incomplete. When discussing a problem, suggest steps to improve the situation and possible solutions. You can also include predictions or personal opinions. This paragraph should be short and clear. You may add quotes here too for a nice finish.

1. PLIGHT OF CHILD LABOUR
(by Nilesh/Nilima)

The evil of child labour still persists in the society. It has crippled our society. The other day I happened to watch some children engaged in active work. It has disturbed me to no end. The inhuman conditions in which these children live and are made to work are deplorable.

They are made to slog for 16-18 hrs. They are hardly provided any nutrition. They are physically tortured and sexually abused. They work in homes, restaurants and factories. These children are underpaid and exploited.

Though the government has put in place laws against this practice and they should be followed strictly. The people who exploit children must be discouraged. There is no fear of punishment as laws aren’t stringently implemented. It is also sad to note that parents of these children, in order to supplement their income send these children to work.

They are very well aware of the conditions but simply ignore it as money seems more important to them. But I feel these children definitely deserve a better childhood.

2. WATERBORNE DISEASES—A THREAT
(by Bhavya/Bhawnika)

The report published above is shocking. It brings to the fore the callous attitude of the administration. It is a total failure of the Water Board to provide a basic necessity—clean, safe water—to the people. The report categorically says that this water is unfit for human consumption.

What are we going to do about this? Are we going to get together and fight or let waterborne diseases like cholera, hepatitis and typhoid spread? Contaminated water can cause these deadly diseases which can cause large-scale deaths, if not treated immediately. These water samples must be shown to the Municipal Commissioner and an explanation demanded.

On the one hand, we celebrate World Health Day, while on the other hand, the basic commodity, water, is impure. I’m sure the concerned authorities will look into the matter and ensure clean and safe drinking water for the public.

3. IMPACT OF TV WATCHING ON READING
(by Shivansh/Shivanshi)

Television has become the most popular source of entertainment these days. It is holding a vice-like grip on the imagination of the young children. They are more familiar with TV serials, their stars and intricacies of their respective plots. The greatest casualty is of course reading.

The need is to promote reading habits among the students. They have to be weaned away from TV tactfully and gradually. A love for reading adventure stories, science fiction, books of travel etc. has to be cultivated. Once the reading habit has been cultivated, the young children will certainly be eager to learn more. Children’s magazines and digests may help to develop and sustain their tastes. The parents must exercise restraint on themselves.

The parents are their role-models. So the parents must sit and read, if they want their wards to develop reading habits. Once they begin, the children will follow suit.

4. HEALTH HAZARDS CAUSED BY JUNK FOOD
(by Sarita/Sarman)

Junk food is easy food, easily available and easy to consume. So it has become a favourite with many. But junk foods are a major health hazard. There is no nutritional value that they possess. They lead to obesity. Children of today have got hooked on to these foods and consume them very often. They have developed a taste for drinks like Coke, Pepsi and relish eating pizzas, burgers etc. As a result of its popularity, the number of joints offering these foods has increased manifold.

At some of these places food is cooked in unhygienic conditions. Setting up of a Food Control Board restricting the sale of junk food could be one solution. Also, awareness through print and visual media needs to be generated on these being health hazards. Such steps could probably restrict as well as bring down the sale of these food items.

5. CARBON CYCLE
(by Arjun/Anju)

Carbon is an essential element found in all living beings. Plants and animals get this element from carbon dioxide present in the atmosphere. Plants take carbon dioxide from air and in the presence of water and sunlight they make their food by the process of photosynthesis. Thus plants absorb carbon. Plants are consumed by other animals as food. In this way they get compounds of carbon. Energy is produced by digestion of these carbon compounds. Carnivores (flesh-eating animals) get carbon from flesh of herbivores (animals feeding on grass and plants).

Omnivores like man get carbon from both plants and animals. Carbon cycle shows that all the animals absorb carbon dioxide during respiration or oxidation and this carbon dioxide is again released into the air. Carbon dioxide is also liberated during the decay of plants and animals and burning of fuels. Plankton exhales carbon dioxide and volcanoes also release it.

The dead animals lying in the sea get decomposed and carbon dioxide is produced from these dead animals as well as from the waste material of land. We also get carbon dioxide from burning of coal, natural gas and oil.

6. POLLUTED WATER IN CITY WATER PARK
(by Ansh/Anshika)

I recall with horror my visit to the Water Park near our city last week. We, a group of thirty boys and girls, visited the Water Park as a part of school excursion. We had made many preparations for playing water games and swimming. Our enthusiasm ebbed away on having a glimpse of the water in the Water Park. It was not clean and had a stale smell. In fact, the smell was so nauseating that we had to step back instantly.

We were not going to take things lying down. The crusading spirit of youth came to the forefront. We contacted the keeper of the Water Park and asked for the Visitors’ Book and Complaint Book. We recorded our experiences, observations and suggestions. Turning the pages of the Visitors’ Book, I noticed the remarks and complaints of the visitors in previous years.

There has been a tremendous fall in the number of visitors each successive year. From around 5500 in 2004, the number has fallen to less than 3000 in the current year. I am afraid the number will fall further if no urgent remedial steps are taken to improve the quality of water in the Water Park. The authorities must ensure the replacement of unclean and foul smelling water with clean and fresh water.

Insecticides in recommended quantity may be used to keep the water germ-free. Further, no eatables or waste of any type be allowed to be dumped in the Water Park. The fountains, slides and channels must be kept clean. Dirt and filth heaps in the neighbourhood must be removed. It is hoped that these measures will help to keep the water clean, fresh and unpolluted and attract more visitors.
