1. Introduction. 2. How the Republic Day was celebrated in my school. 3. Conclusion.


            1. The Republic day is a red-letter day in the history of our country. It is celebrated on the 26th January. It has great national importance. India became a republic (T) on the 26th January, 1950. Our country had been under foreign rule for centuries. We got independence on the 15th August, 1947. We made a constitution (fa) for our country. The Indian constitu tion came into force on the 26th January, 1950. So, the Republic Day is celebrated every year to remember the great event. It is a day of joy for the people of our country. It is celebrated with great enthusiasm  in my school.

              2. This year the Republic day was celebrated in my school in a fine way. All the teachers and students of my school gathered (c) in the school compound in early morning. We paraded through the streets of the town with national flags. We shouted national slogans (R) and sang national songs. Then we returned to our school. We stood in rows() for flag hoisting ( h-I). The Headmaster of my school hoisted the national flag at 8 a.m. Then we sang the national anthem (a). Some teachers of my school made brief speeches on the importance of the Republic Day. At last the Headmaster of my school told us that our country had made great progress (fa) after Independence. He reminded ( fer us that we would be the leaders of our country in future. He advised us to turn our country into a better place to live in. His speech made a great impression on us. After his speech was over, sweets were distributed among students.
 In the afternoon we took part in sports. The winners were given prizes.
           

  We presented a cultural show  at night. It was held in the school hall. The school building was illuminated . It looked charming  in the light of the electric bulbs of different colours. The cultural show was a great success. It was admired by all the visitors. The variety programme of dance, drama and music lasted for three hours. It amused us. When the show came to an end, the Headmaster of my school thanked the students, teachers and visitors. 

            3. Thus the Republic Day was celebrated with great enthusiasm (H) in my school. It filled our hearts with joy and patriotism (f). It reminded us that we must work hard to better the condition of millions of people who are rolling in poverty (1) and misery (). The celebration of the Republic Day will be meaning less (fr) if most of the people of our country are starving. Let us hope that we shall root out poverty and want in the years to come.
