      Nice attempt. Your content is fine. Some improvements can be made. Use some data regarding no. of bills passed in the recent session, how many were passed on the same day of introduction etc in the introduction to substantiate the statement in the question.

      Issues mentioned are fine, you can also mention about the ordinance route- many legislation are done via ordinances bypassing the parliament, also mention that even after bill is passed there are delays in notifying subordinate rules/regulations which defeat the purpose of the bill, for ex- CAA.

      Rest of the answer is good. In, way forward you can add one point that – all bills should go through pre-legislative scrutiny before being brought to parliament and the parliament on its part, should conduct in-depth scrutiny of government bills. Conclusion is fine.

      Keep practicing.

      Please mention reference ID for reviews.

      Nice attempt. In the introduction use some data to substantiate your point. How many bills passed on same day, how many referred to committees etc

      In the body, add some more points- use of money bill route to bypass Rajya Sabha, even after bill is passed there are delays in notifying subordinate rules/regulations which defeat the purpose of the bill etc

      In way forward, mention the need to make the role of the speaker bipartisan, use of ordinance only when urgent, also mention need of pre-legislative scrutiny- receiving comments from public and stakeholders etc. Rest of the points are fine.

      Write a concluding statement. There are some spelling mistakes, try to avoid those.
      Keep practicing. 🙂

      Introduction is fine. You can use some data regarding how many bills were passed on the same day of introduction to emphasize on the speed part in the question.

      You have mentioned some good points in issues. You can add some more such as- use of money bill route to bypass Rajya Sabha, even after bill is passed there are delays in notifying subordinate rules/regulations which defeat the purpose of the bill, for ex- CAA.

      In way forward, mention about pre-legislative scrutiny before bringing the bills to parliament- inviting comments of public, stake-holders etc. You can also mention need to make the role of the speaker bipartisan. Rest of the points are good. Write a concluding statement.

      Keep practicing. 🙂
