Writing Time

Question 1.
By taking ideas from the visual (given in the book) together with your own ideas write an article on ‘Global Warming—a Global Threat’ in 200 words.
Answer:

Global Warming—a Global Threat

Today man has done great progress in several fields. Science has given a great power in the hands of man. Man has created many things for his comfort and luxury. His houses, his roads, his communication, his transport facilities and many things has made his life easier and happier. We can see big factories, big machines, railways, ships and other things working twenty four hours in the service of man.

Yet, if we think deeply we see that the same things have posed a great threat to his own existence. All these things have become possible by the increased use of energy. And energy is produced by burning fuel. This burning has made our globe warmer and warmer, thus presenting a great problem.

Over the last decade the carbon dioxide content in the atmosphere has been slowly but surely rising and it may not be long before our whole atmosphere is almost totally enveloped by this death-knell of the gas, carbon-dioxide. Due to the high content of carbon-dioxide in the air the global warming has also been on a steady rise. One of the major reasons for this rise in carbon-dioxide level has been due to vehicular smoke and smoke emitted by the factories, mills and other industries. If effective and concrete steps are not taken up immediately to improve this present situation, it will not be long before this problem assumes unmanageable proportions.

The snow of the mountains is melting, the rivers have become polluted, the air is also polluted. There is less rainfall and the level of underground water has gone deep. This problem should be dealt with seriousness because future of the whole human race is at stake. In the ultimate analysis, the problem of rise in the carbon-dioxide level in the air has posed a great threat to the existence of life on earth.

Question 2.
Watch the visual input (given in the book) very carefully and write an article in 200 words on ‘Water pollution’.
Answer:

Water Pollution

Water is life. All know how much essential pure water is for us. In the olden days life was simple. All the necessary things for life were easily available. There was sufficient rainfall. Our water resources over flowed. The rivers flowed throughout the year, our wells were full of water. The streams and brooks were always running. But with the progress of man in the field of science, several problems arose and the life started becoming difficult.

Due to rise of carbon-dioxide content in the air, the problem of global warming started. The excess use of energy made the availability of water scarce. Due to shortage in rainfall the flow of water in the rivers reduced. Other sources of water too became less and less. Small streams and rivers dried up completely. The problem became serious with throwing of refuse and other material in the rivers. The wastage of the industries has posed a major problem. All our rivers have become contaminated.

Their water is unusable not only for drinking but in other purposes also. The big rivers like Ganga and Yamuna have been converted into gutters. The water polluted cannot be made clean again by any process. The same case is of the lakes and ponds. People carelessly make the water dirty by throwing refuse, washing clothes and bathing the animals.

The pollution of water has threatened the existence of the life man. All concerned should be aware of the seriousness of the situation and do whatever possible to keep water clean and pure.

Question 3.
Write an article on importance of ‘Rain Water Harvesting’ based on the visual input (given in the book).
Answer:

Rain Water Harvesting

In earlier times, there was plenty of water available in the rivers, lakes and wells. But with the progress in the field of technology, there is great advancement in life. In big cities, big buildings, roads and other constructions have started. In villages too this trend has developed. Due to global warming and incessant falling of trees there is a shortage of rainfall almost everywhere.

Our rivers and streams have dried. Due to building of houses and roads built by cement and other causes, the level of underground water has gone very deep. As such a great problem of drinking water has risen. It has become a difficult task for many people to get sufficient water.

To solve this problem the technique of rain water harvesting has been developed. In this technique, there is an attempt to allow water to go deep down earth. For this a hole is dug deep. In it pieces of brick, stones and large pebbles of sand are buried. It works as a filter. The rain water collected on the roofs of the houses is brought through pipes and left in these holes thus, allowing water to get absorbed in it.

The aim is to raise the under ground water level. This technique has also been developed near the small streams and brooks. The results have shown an improvement.

Question 1.
Write a speech on the importance of English in everyday life.
Answer:
Dr. Rajendra Prasad, our first President has said, “The English language is an advanced and flexible language.” In spite of the irregularities in grammar, spelling and pronunciation, English is one of the most effective instruments of expression. It is a language which is rich, subtle and capable of expressing minute shades of meaning. There is no language in the world which has a richer vocabulary than English. It is said that every year ten thousand words are added to the English dictionary.

Great poets, dramatists, novelists and critics have enriched the English language beyond measure. It throps with new life. Besides this it is used in every field of study, science, technology, medicine and other daily useful arts.

Another fact which makes English a necessity is that it possesses the unrivaled position being a world language, not merely of trade and commerce but for social intercourse and diplomacy. It also gives us the key to modem scientific knowledge and learning.Pearl Buck has said that Indians have put to good use the benefits of English. Their pronunciation of English is pure, exquisite.

Question 2.
Write an article on the Importance of Co-curricular Activities in shaping the personality of students.
Answer:
In a school, several co-curricular activities are arranged. It is very important for students to take part in these activities, as they help in shaping and developing their personality and ability. Mere study of the subjects taught in the school is not sufficient. They merely give bookish knowledge. Activities like essay-competition, debates and discussions, science and arts exhibitions etc.

support the minds of the students. It is said that reading makes a full man, writing an exact man and conference a ready man. If one has great knowledge, but he cannot express it, then he will not get any appreciation from the public. What talent you possess comes out in these activities. Further it increases the knowledge you have got from books. It also helps to gain practical knowledge.

Your personality is shaped and appreciated. Even if you are not one of those who speaks or expresses his knowledge in the activities, if you attend these activities as listeners or spectators you are benefited by it. Other extra-curricular activities too teach the students. Hence it is necessary to participate in these activities.

Writing Time

Question 1.
Write a letter to the editor of your local newspaper, expressing . your concern over the increase in rate of road accidents, rash driving and suggesting ways to curb the accidents. Give possible solutions.
Answer:
B. N. Dixit,
12, Rambagh,
Indore (M. P.).
To,
The Editor,
Free Press,
Indore (M. P.)
Sub : Increase in the rate of road accidents.
Sir,
Through the columns of your esteemed newspaper, I want to express my concern at the increase in the rate of road accidents in the city. Everyday we hear of road accidents and deaths on the roads of Indore. Of late, the spurt in the accidents and the loss of precious lives in them have unnerved the citizens of the city.

The CMW car tragedy highlighted the callous attitude of the neo-rich towards human lives on the roads. Drinking and driving can’t go together. The erring drivers should be given exemplary punishments. Another cause of frequent accidents is the rash-driving. Most of the drivers ignore road-cautions and signals. Indore simply lacks the culture of the road.

Human lives are precious. They can’t be left at the mercy of rash and negligent drivers. The traffic-police need to be streamlined and made an effective force. Regular patrolling and prompt booking of erring drivers can serve an effective deterrent. The Dope-tests should be conducted more frequently and effectively. The speed limits should be strictly enforced. All these measures will help to make the roads of Indore safe for the motorists and the pedestrians as well.

Yours faithfully
B. N. Dixit.

Question 2.
You have noticed many stray animals on the road during busy hours of the day. These animals cause traffic jams and even accidents. Write a letter to the editor of a leading newspaper telling him about the nuisance created by the stray animals.
Answer:
Preeti Jain
C/5, Ramesh Apartments, Bhopal.
To,
The Editor,
The Indian Express,
Bhopal.
Sub—Nuisance created by stray animals.
Through the columns of your esteemed newspaper, I wish to draw the attention of the concerned authorities of the Municipal Corporation regarding the plight of the residents of Bow Bazar. While going to school at 8 . 50 am. I notice many stray animals wandering here and there . on the busy market roads. The position is almost the same—a repeat

performance in the afternoon. Sometimes these animals cross the roads in a long ending array, thus causing traffic blocks as well as accidents. These animals create a health hazard too by urinating everywhere. Huge heaps of dung are lying here and there. Flies over hover them and insects breed inside them.

We have already written to the concerned authorities but no action has been taken so far. The authorities are requested to depute officials to catch these stray animals and send them to the police pen. If unclaimed, these might be auctioned. It is hoped that an early action will be taken by concerned authorities.

Yours truly
Preeti Jain.

Reading Time

Read the following passage carefully :

The United State Army has discovered by repeated tests that even young men—men toughened by years of army training—can march better and hold up longer if they throw down their packs and rest ten minutes of every hour. So the army forces them to do just that.

Your heart is just as smart as the U. S. Army. Your heart pumps enough blood through your body every day to fill a railway tank car. It exerts enough energy every twenty-four hours to shovel twenty tons of coal onto a platform three feet high. It does this incredible amount of work for fifty, seventy, or may be ninety years. How can it stand it ? Dr. Walter B. Cannon of the Harvard Medical School explained it to me. He said,

“Most people have the idea that the heart is working all the time. As a matter of fact, there is a definite rest period after each contraction. When beating at a moderate rate of seventy pulses per minute, the heart is actually working only nine hours out of the twenty-four. In the aggregate, its rest periods total a full fifteen hours per day.”

During World War II, Winston Churchill in his late sixties and early seventies, was able to work sixteen hours a day, year after year, directing the war effort of the British Empire. A phenomenal record. His secret ? He worked in bed each morning until eleven o’clock, reading reports, dictating orders, making telephone calls, and holding important conferences. After lunch he went to bed again and slept for an hour. In the evening he went to bed once more and slept for two hours before having dinner at eight. He didn’t cure fatigue. He didn’t have to cure it. He prevented it. Because he rested frequently, he was able to work on fresh and fit until long past midnight.

Now answer the questions given below :

Question 1.
Find out the words from the passage which convey following meanings :
Answer:
to make something stronger – toughen
staying within limits – moderate
the part of a large machine that digs/moves earth – shovel
that can not be believed incredible very great or impressive – phenomenal.

Question 2.
What has the United State Army discovered ? (2009)
Answer:
The United State Army has discovered that even young men—men toughened by years of army-training—can march better and hold up longer if they throw down their packs and rest ten minutes of every hour.

Question 3.
Why does the author say, ‘your heart is just as smart as the U. S. Army’ ? (2011, 15)
Answer:
He says, “Your heart is just as smart as the U. S. Army” because the job in the U. S. Army is very hard and so is the job of heart. We think heart is a delicate thing, but it is not so. It pumps enough blood through our body every day to fill a railway tank car. It exerts enough energy every 24 hours to shovel 20 tons of coal on a plat form 3 feet high and so it is compared with the U. S. Army.

Question 4.
Does the heart work all the time ? (2015)
Answer:
No, it does not.

Question 5.
How much does the heart work in a day ?
Ans.
It works only nine hours in a day.

Question 6.
When does the heart get rest ? How much does it rest in a day ? (2011)
Answer:
When beating at a moderate rate of seventy pulses per minute it rests for 15 hours in a day.

Question 7.
What was the secret of Winston Churchill’s working sixteen hours daily ?
Answer:
The secret of Winston Churchill’s working sixteen hours daily was that he took frequent rests.

Question 8.
Why did he not need to cure his fatigue ?
Answer:
He did not need to cure his fatigue because he prevented fatigue.

Question 9.
Give a suitable title to the passage.
Answer:
Don’t Cure Fatigue : Prevent It.

Reading Time

Read the following passage carefully :

Jamshedji Tata wanted to make textiles in Nagpur in the 1800s with the cotton grown there. Nagpur had no textile industry then, and in Manchester Jamshedji was told that Nagpur’s weather was not suitable as it was too dry. He said, ‘Alright, I will bring the Manchester weather to Nagpur.’ He imported humidifiers and started India’s first textile mill in 1874.

Jamshedji started the Tata Iron and Steel Company and wanted to export steel rails to Britain. A Britisher called Sir Frederick Upcourt scoffed, “If Tatas makes steel rails to British specifications, I will undertake to eat every pound of rail that they make ”. History stands testimony to the fact that Tatas did manage to make steel rails and export them to Britain. No accounts are available about Upcourt tryst with gastric challenges. In fact, world war 11 British tanks were called Tatanagars because the steel was made in Tatanagar.

Jamshedji pursued his dreams, put together a team, raised the capital, created a product, and mainstreamed it. He did it sitting in India 125 year ago when India’s technical capabilities were far less than they are now. When you dream, surely some of it gets translated into reality. A century ago, Jamshedji took some foreign visitors to the Majestic Hotel in Mumbai but was denied entrance because he was an Indian. Jamshedji simply resolved to build a hotel that was even finer, and which would not discriminate against people based on colour or race.

Question 3.
How did he respond to it ?
Answer:

Question 4.
What was Upcourt’s challenge to Tatas ?
Answer:
Upcourt’s challenge to Tatas was that if Tatas made steel rails to British expectations he would undertake to eat every pound of rails that they make.

Question 5.
Why were the British tanks called Tatanagars ?
Answer:
British tanks were called Tatanagars because the steel for them was made in Tatanagar.

Question 6.
What happens when you dream big ?
Answer:
When you dream big, surely some of it gets translated into reality.

Question 7.
How did Jamshedji fulfill his dreams ?
Answer:
Jamshedji fulfilled his dreams by putting together a team, raising the capital, creating a product and brain streaming it.

Question 8.

Speaking Time

Split the following words into syllables.

Answer:

Reading Time

Read the following passage carefully :

Education is a sub-system of the wider social system. Although it functions autonomously, it has linkage with the economic, political, religious and other sub-systems which exert a powerful influence on the goals of the educational sub-systems.

Education can rarely free itself from social and cultural norms and has to relate itself to the needs of society. Due to globalization and modernization, our society is passing through momentous changes in its value system. Values of yesteryear have taken a backseat and materialism, corruption, dishonesty and other negative values have come to the fore.

At this junction, all formal and informal agencies of education like family, school and community should realise the explosiveness of the situation. It is rightly said values cannot be taught, they are caught. All the agencies should become role models if we want our youth to be on the right path.

Absence of a congenial and loving atmosphere and quarrel among parents are the major hurdles in this direction. In a nutshell, the family has ceased to be an institution for providing cultural, aesthetic and moral education.

On the other hand, formal education is squeezed between memory and mechanisation. The teacher has become a businessman doing private tuition instead of institutional teaching. Race for degrees and jobs has deteriorated the situation further.

The National Policy of Education (1986) has shown concern in this regard when it says, “The growing concern over the erosion of essential values and an increasing cynicism in society has brought to focus the need for re-adjustment in the curriculum in order to make education a forceful tool for the cultivation of social and moral values.”

The whole system of education needs complete over-hauling. If at all, we the citizens are desirous of thwarting deterioration in values, teaching at all levels must emphasise on moral education and character building. Intellect without wisdom can be suicidal.

Now answer the questions given below :

Question 1.
Find out the words from the passage for the following expressions :
Answer:

• appreciation of beauty in nature – aesthetic
• pleasant – congenial
• to press something firmly – squeeze
• lack of faith in the goodness of things and people – cynicism
• to prevent somebody from doing what he wants to do – thwart

Question 2.
What are the things education is linked with ? (2012,14)
Answer:
Education is linked with the economic, political, religious and other systems.

Question 3.
Why is our society passing through changes in its value system ?
Answer:
Due to globalization and modernization, our society is passing through momentous changes in value system.

Question 4.
What is the saying about the values ?
Answer:
The saying is values cannot be taught, they are caught.

Question 5.
What are the major obstacles in establishing human values ?
Answer:
The major obstacles are that the family has ceased to be an institution for providing cultural, aesthetic and moral education.

Question 6.
What change do we observe in the teacher’s attitude these days ?
Answer:
The teacher has become a businessman doing private tuition instead of institutional teaching.

Question 7.
What has happened to formal education ?
Answer:
Formal education is squeezed between memory and mechanism.

Question 8.
Do you agree that the whole system of education needs complete over-hauling ? Answer in your own words.
Answer:
Yes, we agree that the whole system of education needs complete over-hauling because the essential values have been eroded and cynicism has increased in the society.

Question 9.
Give a suitable title to the passage.
Answer:
Need for Overhauling of Education System.

Answer:
113, Main Road (Opposite Kila)
Sendhwa (M. P.)
Dt. 17 June, 20…
To,
The Collector,
Dist. Barwani Barwani (M. P.)
Sir,
I would like to draw your kind attention to the lack of facilities and malfunctioning of the government hospital, Sendhwa and request you to take suitable action so that people may be able to get medical facilities properly.

The hospital has only one doctor and two nurses. They cannot serve the patients because their number is too many. They cannot give proper attention. The X-ray department is also malfunctioning, it seldom operates properly. There is no facility for sonography. The patients have to go to private clinics and they are too expensive. The wards are not properly cleaned and dirty smell persists everywhere.
I hope you will kindly look into the matter soon.

Yours faithfully,
Rajesh Vohra
