Shortcomings of Festivals

Although there are many interesting things people can get from the festivals, there are also some
disadvantage.
The first thing is that it is normally very costly to celebrate a festival. Due to the fact that most festivals
aim to preserve and develop the traditional cultural heritages, the government is willing to spend a lot of
money on this occasion. Besides, during the festival, most people do not work and only spend money on
preparing food and buying expensive gifts for their relatives and friends. That's also a reason why it is said
that a festival is often costly.
The second disadvantage is unsafe during a festival. It is estimated that there are hundred accidents
during a festival, particularly road accidents. There are many dangerous festivals like cow-racing, elephant
racing which may be very dangerous for people, especially for children. Moreover, in some festivals, when
rushing to join the events, people may also cause other people to get hurt.
The last disadvantage is festivals may affect the environment seriously. People tend to throw away waste
cans or bottles after a festival. Furthermore, trees along the roadsides may be damaged by the participants.

Many people who work in London prefer to live outside it, and to go into their offices, factories or schools every day by train, car or bus, even though this means they have to get up earlier in the morning and reach home late in the evening.

One advantage of living outside London is that houses are cheaper. Even a small flat in London without a garden costs quite a lot to rent. With the same money one can get a little house in the country with a garden of ones own. Then in the country one can rest from the noise and hurry of the town. Even though one has to get up earlier and spend more time in trains or buses, one can sleep well at night, and during weekends and summer evenings, one can enjoy the fresh, clean air of the country. If one likes gardens, one can spend ones free time digging, planting, watering and doing the one hundred and one other things that are needed in a garden. Then, when the flowers and the vegetables come up, one has the reward of one who has shared the secrets of Nature.

There is a question as of why students from famous universities are so smart. The answer lies in their study habits, which should be developed by all students from early ages with help from parents and schools.

First, a habit of frequent reading is what children should have. It is understandable if a child does not like reading in his early life. What parents and teachers should do is to explain the importance of daily reading to children. Simply, parents can encourage their children to bring books in their handbags to read in their leisure time. Teachers can share their book picks with their students.

Second, writing daily is one of the most essential skills for any students, so they should be provided with opportunities to express themselves in writing and not scared of being marked by their teachers. Thanks to daily writing, their writing ability will be improved.

Third, parents should encourage their children to question their teachers. It is widely known that questioning is a way to gain knowledge. Additionally, it is also learned that parents and teachers should let students find answers to the questions first because no one knows where their search may lead them.

1.Students at top universities are all born smart.

2.Students should start to form good study habits when they go to university.

3.It is unacceptable that some children do not like reading.

4.Daily reading is a good habit that should be encouraged among children.
