In their desire to look modern and attractive, they go crazy for new fashions. They dress themselves in the latest styles. With every change in fashion, their hairstyles also change. To be in the latestfashion.seems to be the only care of our young boys and girls. They care so much for their- exteriors that they have no time to attend to their interiors. They frequent the= beautician for facials but never visit the library for books, journals or periodicals. IE ever they carry some book or journal in their hand, that, too, is never meant for reading but merely for the sake of fashion.I hate these modern clowns.

The present-day fast life has affected our eating habits also. We have taken to foods that can be cooked fast and eaten fast. But such food loses much of its value and taste. Fast foods are generally prepared at wayside eating stalls and cheap restaurants. They are ill-cooked. They are very oily and spicy. They can cause a number of ailments in our body. They can give us ulcers and even cancer. Habit of asking fast foods is suicidal. It is in our own interest to give it up. Fast foods are junk ds and junk should be thrown away rather than be eaten.

People enjoyed the cool weather.

                    Drug Addiction

Drug addiction is becoming very common among our youth. Perhaps the youth ind this life too burdensome. As an escape from it, they take to drugs. Sometimes parents themselves become the cause of it. They are either too strict or have no time to attend to their children. The young ones feel neglected. Our purposeless system of education is also one of the big causes. When the youth fail to get any employment after 15-20 years of education, they get frustrated and take to drugs. Drug addiction has become a big social problem. There is no short-cut cure for drug abuse. We often complain that our youth are going wrong. But,we hardly do anything to understand their problems. The best way to keep our youth away from drugs is to use their energies in constructive ways. An employment-based educational system should be evolved.

              Environmental Pollution 

Environment pollution is the greatest problem facing a man. We are living in a a polluted world where air, water, food, etc. everything upon which we survive 1s polluted. Scientists have listed down the dangers of environmental pollution and the governments around the globe. are worried about the same. In fact, man himself is responsible for such a situation. In his ignorance, he has so far been destroying the wealth of nature, trees and forests. An immediate control is required to keep the environment free from pollution.More attention is being paid to afforestation. The unauthorized felling of trees is being checked. Scientists are developing methods to minimize the effect of smoke let out by our autos and chimneys.

                      The Value of Games 

Games and sports are a very necessary part of life. They keep us healthy. They refresh our weary minds. They are useful both for our mind and body. Physically, we become healthy. Mentally, we become disciplined. Games give us wisdom and courage. They make us bold and confident. They develop in us a spirit of co-operation. They teach us to fight in a healthy spirit, like a player fighting with his rival in the playground. An ideal player has o ill-will against anyone. In short, games help to make us good citizens. Our education is incomplete without them.
