Deforestation is cutting down of trees . The forest in a large numbers. Deforestation has always been a
threat to our environment, but still many humans are continuing this I’ll practice, moreover deforestation is
causing ecological imbalance yet some selfish people have to fill their pocket . Therefore they do not even
think about it once so the government trying to measures to avert the harm to the environment the main
purpose of deforestation is to increase the land area also this land area is to setup new industries. This all is
because of increase in population. As the population increases the demands for products also increase so
rich business men setup these industries to increase profit . There are many harmful effects of deforestation
some of them are below

result floods are affecting the hilly regions of our country and the people living there the ratio of water
suitable for drinking is also decreasing

the rate of water in the atmosphere so clouds are not getting formed as a result the agricultured grounds are
not receiving proper rainfall
A great threat to wildlife

Time and Tide waits for none.

Time and tide waits for none this idioms is opts in todays world. As world is moving at a fast pace so no
one has time to waits . Time never stops the clock is always tickling therefore to use our time . We should
work hard every second because time once gone we can not regain it . It is the most precious thing that a

Since we all know the story of rabbits and tortoise . This story is perfect for the idiom. But if you do not
know anything about the story let me narrate it :
Once there was a tortoise who was slow in running he was always criticized by other for his slow pace but
instead there was a rabbit in their community who used to run fast everyone praised him for his speed so to
show his skills and to humiliate tortoise the rabbit challenge him for race . The tortoise accepted the
challenge because he never wanted any more humiliation . The race was schedule after two days to win the
race the rabbit practiced hard . He started celebrating race he had never thoughts of winning the race . Yet
he was eager to give his best so race started on the third day of challenge . Everyone knew that rabbit would
win . Therefore rabbit was over confident of himself the rabbit ate a lot before the race thinking if he would
even walk then also he will win the race but the tortoise had determination to give his best . After some
time race started . The tortoise was very slow but he kept on moving on other hand rabbit was running at
very fast pace. Therefore he was able to reach half of distance of race within a few minutes . After reaching
that distance he thought that he should take rest so he lied down under a shady tree to take little bit rest
while he was sleeping the tortoise constantly move with time neither did he stopped nor did he take any rest
. Thus he was able to cross the rabbit while he was sleeping when he was finish the line the rabbit woke up
he rushed towards the finish line but it was too late. While the tortoise was celebrating the victory . After
reading the story you must be sure that ´ Time and Tide waits for none ´ Because tortoise worked hard
and utilize the time so he was able to succussed in the race . Our life like that to achieve success . we must
work hard with time . We should always utilize our time in the best manner only then we will be able to
achieve success in life
