and silver added to the dreamland atmosphere.
The "Barat" arrived
in the afternoon. Then there was a grand show of firework, band and dance by
the young ones. At first the "Barat” was accorded a warm welcome. After

The guests were entertained with cold drinks. Afterwards came the dolled up
bride, accompanied by her sisters and friends, walking at a show pace. At last the

Q.7 Write a detailed persuasive essay on the following
Topic.
Use of public transport:
Ans:
public
transport is cheaper but it is also the best for our environment. In the current
scenario, the world is facing the biggest challenges in the shape of global
warming and air pollution. Both these factors are contributing a negative
impact on the global climate. Big cities have started feeling about the
negative impacts of green-house gases. Climate experts are highlighting that
the best option is to adopt public transportation in place of personal cars.
While driving personal transport, you feel more pressure in terms of safety,
time and cost. While travelling on a bus, you are free of many stressful
factors.
Use of Public Transport
As far as fuel consumption
per passenger is concerned, public transport is far better than a private
vehicle, because it uses quite less amount of fuel. The emission of air
pollutants per person in the atmosphere is too less by a public bus as compared
to a car driven by a single head. Of course if you can't drive or don't have
personal transport, then public transport is the only choice for you to go
shopping, market, picnic friends of place of work.
