An early riser gets up early in the morning and enjoys the fresh air and peaceful environment of nature. They can start their daily activities in an organised way and have enough time for exercise, study and other important tasks. Early rising also develops discipline, punctuality and a positive attitude towards life. On the other hand, a late riser often struggles to manage daily activities properly and may miss important opportunities. Late rising can also encourage laziness and irregular habits, especially when it results from insufficient sleep. Although adequate sleep is essential for good health, maintaining a regular sleeping schedule is equally important. Therefore, everyone should develop a healthy routine and try to rise early to lead a disciplined, productive and balanced life. <br><br>(142 words)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h6 class=\"wp-block-heading\">16.

It is one of the major problems of modern civilisation. Honesty, kindness, respect, sympathy and responsibility are essential qualities of a good human being. However, these values are gradually disappearing from different areas of our society.<br><br>There are several causes of moral degradation. Excessive greed, selfishness, corruption, dishonesty and the negative influence of society are some of the major reasons. Lack of proper family education and moral guidance also contribute to this problem. Moreover, some people give more importance to money and personal success than to honesty and social responsibility.<br><br>The consequences of moral degradation are serious. It increases corruption, violence, dishonesty and social conflict. People gradually lose trust in one another. As a result, peace, harmony and mutual respect are threatened. Even educational institutions and professional organisations may suffer when ethical values are ignored.<br><br>To prevent moral degradation, we must develop moral values from childhood. Parents should teach their children honesty, discipline and respect for others. Educational institutions should emphasise character building alongside academic achievement. Religious teachings, social awareness and responsible citizenship can also play important roles.<br><br>Moral values are the foundation of a healthy society. Therefore, we must practise honesty, kindness and responsibility in our everyday lives to build a peaceful and prosperous nation.<br><br>(224 words)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(All Boards | Common Question)Subject Code: 108Time: 3 HoursFull Marks: 100 Part A \u2013 Grammar Marks: 60 1.
