Importance of Cottage Industries

Cottage industries  are simple and small  industries. We  need  many  things  in our  everyday   life.  We have  to wear. We  need  soap.  We need  copies. We  need  matches to make  fire.  All  these things  are the  products of cottage industries.
 We have  have some  popular  cottage  industries . They are Palpali Dhaka,  Karuwa of Tansen, Bhojpure Khukuri  etc.  Nepali paper is also  a popular  product of cottage industries.
 Cottage industries are very  much  important for  the  development of country. They  can be set up  with  a small amount  of money  in a small  area.  They can  be set up  in every  village.  We can  provide  employment  for the people  of villages. Most  People   in the  villages can  use  their  leisure time  in the  industries.
 We can  use our  bamboo, straw, as  materials from  our  forests and produce  paper, scent,  soap, matches etc.  In the same way,  we can  use our cheap soil to  make posts.  We  can develop our art   and  handicrafts. These are some disadvantages. These products may be tittle expensive, we may not  get  a big market and will  have to be satisfied at a little profit. But we  can be using  the idle time and our energy which is  running for no use.

Life of the people in the mountains:

 

Nepal  is a country  of  mountians. Nepal  is divided  into  three geographical  regions. They are Himalayan, Moutainous and Terai regions. About 84 percent of the  land lies in this  region.

A visit to a zoo or national park.

 We were in class   nine last year. We decided to visit the zoo. We were  about twenty students in  the team. We reserved a micro bus  from the nearest bus stop and went  to the national  zoo at Jawlakhel, Lalitpur.

Since we are students, we got a reduced rate for  the entrance. We had to pay  only  Rs 5  per head. 

 As we entered  the zoo, we saw  the varieties of birds.  I wondered looking  at so many  birds.  The  ostrich was so big  very hard to believe. Then we looked  at  the tigers.  They looked  poor  and hopeless. Perhaps they  were  fed up of the ready  made  meat they  usually get.

The next  we looked  at the  deer, monkeys and  many  others.  The long  tailed monkey with its black  face looked very dangerous.  A little  boy  had  just  tried  to  give the  monkey a chocolate: it  grabbed his had and injured him.  The next attraction, I found  was  the snakes. I had  never guessed so many  of the  snakes are found  and kept  in the  zoo.

 After a long  walking round  the zoo,  We  were tired  and  hungry. So we had  khaja and dot back for home. But  the animals that love the free  life  are kept  in the  zoo.  It is  like a jail.  We had exploited the animals for our sake. I did not really  like it.

Computer

 Computer is an electronic   machine. It was  developed from  calculator machine. We can  not say  what it does. But  we should  say  what it  can not  do! it means  computers are used in every  field of our life.

 Computer  is popular  among  the learned  persons and the students.  You  may work in any field today: you may be  using  a computer. We are grateful to  Charles Babbage who  invented such a useful thing for us.

Computers have some  important pats. Monitor, mouse, the CPU or central processing  unit  or the  brain  of the computer are major   parts.

 It is  used in  offices  to keep  records  of the  staff, account  , make  grogrammes,  prepare letters and  documents etc.  It is used  to design  dress  or to  treat  a sick  person. It is used  in schools and colleges to  make class room  teaching  effective it  is said, ' Computers have become a part of life.'

Nowadays, the doctors  use computer to treat a patient. If you  talk  about  engineers , they  can do  nothing  without  it. Some  persons  may misuse  it just  to pass  time   and spreading evil information. So we  must use  it for   the betterment of oneself and society being careful of its  demerits.

Educational Tour

 Tour means visiting  places.  People travel From  place to place for different purpose.  Some travel for  getting  education, some for  business, some for  entertainment and some  for visiting  religious places  as  pilgrims.

 Educational Tour or  excursion means a tour of the  students to  a certain place for a  certain time for certain purposes.

 Educational  tour is a part  of practical  learning . Students learn by reading  or listening  to teacher  and doing  very little  in the labs in our schools. But in  such  excursions, students learn  by observation.  They can  see the  real objects, people  and places. 

 Students can read  in books. But  the taste  of real  visit is far  more different  and effective than their  theoretical study. They can talk  to the people : they  can ask  them  bout  whatever things they like.

 They learn  to live  in groups . They  learnt to face difficulties  and accommodate  in a different  situation.  Together, They  can experience things.

 They may  feel freedom  while  in the tour: but together the students also  learn many  things  informally. They  can see  innumerable things  out of  their  plan.  Students learn many  informal  things So,  educational tour  is very  important for us.

How we can learn

A person is different from  another. So a person learns the same  thing  in different  ways  because they have different nature. In the same  way subjects are different nature. In the same ways.  So,  we learn things in many ways.

 We learn by reading books. We learn by listening to our  parents and our teachers. We learn by looking things. We learn by doing ourselves.  We  learn by  doing ourselves. We learn by  talking to the neighbours. We learn by travelling to  places and interviewing the people etc.

 A practical subject like science is well learnt in a practical way  by doing. History can be learnt by  listening to  teachers. Some parts of history can be learnt by observing the sites. Social studies are best  learnt by visiting  communities and talking to people. Geography and the social traditions of  a certain  place can be learnt by visiting  places.  We can talk to people, ask questions and learn in a communicative way.

The next, we can best learn  our culture by being involved in the family and social activities. But the  mathematical problems are learnt by practising with the help of teachers. So,  we lean many  subjects in  many  ways.
