Write in two paragraphs about 250 words each on the positive as well as the negative
influence of Social Media
or
Write in two paragraphs accepting or denying this: Is Social media polarising society?
A. SOCIAL MEDIA:
Social media is definitely one of the biggest parts of the lives of each and every individual right
now and this is why it cannot be ignored at all. One question that has been bothering a number
of individuals for a long time is whether social media is good or bad. Like every other thing,
even social media has certain positive as well as negative influence.
A big positive associated with social media is that it is easier to make a large number of friends
within a short time only. Just a few years ago, it wasn’t really easy to connect with many
people, until and unless you were extremely outgoing and could make conversations with
almost everyone you would just meet. Right now, it is possible to make hundreds to thousands
of friends over any social networking platform. It is true that they might not be those friends
with whom you are going to spend time but nonetheless, they are definitely going to be your
friends at least in the digital world. Another important thing that you should know is that a
social networking site helps in making as well as keeping friends. Apart from communicating
with your close friends and family members, social media networks help you to communicate
with other people who are based in different parts of the world. Communication has become
extremely effective as well as easy. Social media has the power of opening up the entire world
15
Sri Sairam Engineering College
Sai Leo Nagar, Chennai-44
in front of you, thereby making it a considerably smaller place than what it used to be. Even if
you have your family members living in some other part of the globe, you can communicate
with them as if they were living right next door. You can also keep in touch with your friends,
with whom you have lost contact. In the world of social media, physical distance is not
important anymore. Social helps you to get back in touch with those people, with whom you
have lost contact years back. You can even build a relationship with a person with whom you
have numerous things in common. It can be rightly said that social media is one of the best
grounds where long-lasting relationships can start. Whether it is friendship or love, social media
will help you to nurture your relationship, which is extremely positive.
While social media makes it easier to meet new people and make friends, it also enables cruel
people to tear into others with little effort. Perpetrators of bullying can use the anonymity that
social networks provide to gain people's trust and then terrorize them in front of their peers. For
instance, they might create a fake profile and act friendly to a classmate, then later betray and
embarrass them online. These online attacks often leave deep mental scars and even drive
people to suicide in some cases. And as it turns out, cyberbullying doesn't just affect kids. Adults
can become victims of online abuse, too. Since screens hide our faces, you can end up being a
jerk on social media and other websites without even realizing it. Apart from this, spending too
much time on social media can lead to poor sleep. Numerous studies have shown that increased
use of social media has a negative effect on your sleep quality. Social media can be more
addictive than cigarettes and alcohol. It has a powerful draw for many people that leads to them
checking it all the time without even thinking about it. This addiction is proved to be the worst
bane of social media.

Write an essay on the topic, “Automobile Industry – Indian innovation and imported
technology”
or
Write an essay on the topic, “Are leaders born or made?”
INTRODUCTION:
The basic feature which defines a leader is – Intelligence. Every individual born
is blessed with intelligence, it is just how one groom one’s intelligence level
and put in to the best use which makes him/her a leader. Besides, intelligence
there are many more characteristics which an individual needs to inculcate in
oneself to become an inspirational leader.These characteristics include strong
will and determination towards achievement, influencing the people’s mind
and actions, highly self motivated, possessing skills and talents and nourishing
and nurturing them at regular time periods. All these features and many more
added to them turns a simple individual into a leader. The leadership skills and
talents could be either adopted or learnt by one whilst moving ahead at
different spheres of life. A stabilized ongoing development of the intellectual
growth and enhancement of various skills and talents at different levels of an
individual development plays a pivotal role in the making of a great leader .

A Natural Born Leader?- Does this mean that introverts, persons of average
social intelligence, or those of us who are not particularly empathic will not
make good leaders? Certainly not. A great leader in recent history - the Rudi
Juliani – who had leadership thrust on him in the aftermath of the September
11 attacks for which he was subsequently honoured. Remember, most of
leadership is made, not born. So, if you aspire to positions of leadership, then
the best course is to embark on a leadership self-development plan.
CONCLUSION:
Some believe that true leaders are born that way—naturally charismatic,
influential, and inspiring individuals who are destined to make a mark. But
while certain people may be naturally predisposed to leadership, just as
they’re naturally predisposed to athleticism or musicality, we believe it’s
absolutely possible to cultivate the characteristics and skills necessary to call
yourself a leader. As legendary American football coach Vince Lombardi once
said: “Leaders aren’t born, they are made. And they are made just like
anything else, through hard work.” So whether you were born with the
“special sauce” or not, if you want to be a leader you’re going to have to work
to develop and refine the characteristics of the greats.

Subject: Advantages and shortcomings of online learning - reg
Dear Uncle,
I hope you are doing good in this pandemic situation. Being the principal of the
school, you might have loads of responsibilities on your shoulder and the major among
them would have been online classes. Well uncle, as a student even I have experienced
online class and eventually I have come up with some pros and cons of online learning.
The advantages are:
Online learning offers teachers an efficient way to deliver lessons to students. Online
learning has a number of tools such as videos, PDFs, podcasts, and teachers can use all
these tools as part of their lesson plans. By extending the lesson plan beyond traditional
textbooks to include online resources, teachers are able to become more efficient educators.
Another advantage of online education is that it allows students to attend classes from any
location of their choice. It also allows schools to reach out to a more extensive network of
students, instead of being restricted by geographical boundaries. Additionally, online
lectures can be recorded, archived, and shared for future reference. This allows students to
access the learning material at a time of their comfort. Since online classes can be taken
from home or location of choice, there are fewer chances of students missing out on
lessons. Thus, online learning offers students the accessibility of time and place in
education.
Well I had even observed some shortcomings of online learning. The disadvantages are:
For many students, one of the biggest challenges of online learning is the struggle with
focusing on the screen for long periods of time. With online learning, there is also a greater
chance for students to be easily distracted by social media or other sites. Therefore, it is
imperative for the teachers to keep their online classes crisp, engaging, and interactive to
help students stay focused on the lesson. Another key challenge of online classes is internet
connectivity. While internet penetration has grown in leaps and bounds over the past few
years, in smaller cities and towns, a consistent connection with decent speed is a problem.
Without a consistent internet connection for students or teachers, there can be a lack of
continuity in learning for the child. This is detrimental to the education process. Apart from
this there are many other cons too.
Uncle, I know it might be hard for you to manage all this but I also know that you are a
responsible person and would handle everything with ease. I pray that all your students get
the benefit of online learning and may the cons turn to become pros. Well Uncle, I am
eagerly waiting to meet you and I hope that day is not far. Take care of yourself and the
entire family.
