Through the columns of your esteemed newspaper, I would like to give my opinion
on how the government and the public can contribute to the development of tourism.
Development of tourism infrastructure requires heavy investment in building a variety
of sites, hotels and a good network of transportation. Many of these activities are
in the form of public utilities like roads, power, water, etc. The government should
judiciously use funds to build and maintain these facilities. Apart from investing in
provision of basic facilities at tourism sites, launching awareness programmes and
undertaking requisite preservation efforts should be done by the government. General
public too must ensure safety and comfort of tourists by being cooperative with them.
They must also ensure preservation of tourist attractions by not spoiling them and
keeping their surroundings clean. People can also use social media to promote their
tourist destinations. They can share pictures, videos, events announcements, and
blogs across social media channels. Tourism contributes a lot in improving economic
condition of an area and hence, suitable steps must be taken to ensure continuation
and development of tourism.

Through the columns of your esteemed newspaper, I would like to draw the
attention of masses towards the consequence of climate change happening due
to various activities of man. Human induced activities are adversely affecting the
ecological balance of earth, leading to large scale droughts, earthquakes, tsunamis,
landslides and other natural disasters. Some of the human activities like burning
fossil fuels, releasing chemicals into the atmosphere, unplanned urbanisation and
industrialisation, deforestation, the rapid expansion of agriculture lands, dumping
industrial and agricultural wastes into water sources, encroachment of land and water
are contaminating environment and adversely affecting the balance of the ecosystem
and climate. Climate change leads to melting of polar ice caps, rising sea levels,
extreme weather, shifting rainfall patterns, etc. Consequences of climate change will
be highly detrimental to survival of humans. It will also endanger most animals and
marine life. If some serious steps are not taken to control climate change, it will put
a threat to the lives on earth.

Through the columns of your esteemed newspaper, I would like to generate awareness
about unrestrained killing of animals for fun, fur and fashion. The craze for products
made of leather and fur leads to killing of thousands of foxes, deer, elephants,
crocodiles, tigers, snakes, etc. for their skin and fur. People don’t hesitate to use
cosmetics, chessboard pieces, belts, purses, fur caps and jewellery made from animal
body parts. This unchecked hunting of animals is disturbing the ecological balance of
the earth. Indiscriminate hunting of animals will disturb the food chain as many animals
have already become extinct or are at the verge of extinction. It’s high time we put a
check on animal hunting for fulfilling personal greed. NGOs, government agencies
and public should join hands together to stop animal killing. Government should
make stringent laws and must ensure their strict adherence. Exemplary punishment
should be given to those who indulge in animal hunting and poaching. Government
should create more awareness programmes like ‘Save the Tiger’ for other animals.

Through the columns of your esteemed newspaper, I would like to bring into notice
the unhygienic condition of the garden near the Prashad Lake. I have been visiting
the lake for many years. Of late I have observed that the lake area is increasingly
becoming unclean. I was appalled by the foul smelling water in the lake and the failing
cleanliness standards around the surrounding area. There’s an urgent need to improve
the cleanliness of the park. The residents of the area, who had earlier bought houses
around the area with the hope of enjoying nature, are extremely disappointed by the
foul smell, dirtiness, and unhygienic condition of the lake. They do not send children
to play in the park nor do they go for walking or exercising fearing that they or their
children will catch some disease due to unhygienic and filthy conditions there. The
piles of garbage littered around the park attract mosquitoes and flies that pose a big
threat to the well-being of the residents. The local authorities should look into the
matter and take action to improve the hygiene of the place. Parks are important for
a community for recreation and it’s quite necessary that people should have clean
and healthy atmosphere.

Through the columns of your esteemed newspaper, I would like to generate awareness
about the need for equality and how it can be achieved by giving value to the girl-child.
As the president of ‘Girls Association of India’, I want to make the people realise that
we can correct the gender imbalance by providing for our daughters as we do for our
sons. A large part of the Indian society generally considers girls inferior to boys and
hence they are given secondary treatment. This leads to a number of gender issues
such as high drop-out rates among girls from school, widows being seen as a burden,
female foeticide, unequal pay, etc. We can eradicate the root cause of discrimination
only by changing our attitudes towards the girl child. The society needs to consider
a girl child as deserving as a male child. Women status in the society can only be
improved by providing them education, equal opportunities to grow and prosper,
and an atmosphere where they feel valued and can hold up their heads with dignity
and enjoy the freedom that men do.
Our goodwill ambassadors for “Save the Girl Child Campaign” are the tennis sensation,
Sania Mirza; the Junior Squash Champion, Joshna Chinappa and the All India Topper,
Aruna Kesavan. We all are working together tirelessly to bring about a change in the
society. We want to appeal to the public to join us in this noble cause.

Through the columns of your esteemed newspaper, I would like to express my
dismay over allotment of a 65 acre plot of land reserved for garden and green belt
for residential colony by Lucknow Development Authority. This decision of the
authority is facing a strong opposition from the residents of the nearby areas and
the environmentalists. Forest land conversion will lead to ecological imbalance. The
forested area has grassland, bushes and marshes. It is also home to many kinds of
wild animals, migratory birds, snakes, butterflies and many more species. The area has
taken hundreds of years to build up and cannot be re-planted overnight. Destruction
of the green belt can cause changes in water quality and wildlife habitat, and quality
of soil and air. It will also rob enthusiasts of one of their favourite cycling or trekking
venues. So, the decision by Lucknow authorities should be rolled back. Moreover,
locals and environmentalists are planning to go on indefinite hunger strike to protest
against the conversion of the green belt.

Through the columns of your esteemed newspaper, I would like to request the
transport administration to increase the number of ‘University Special’ buses on
different routes of the city. Due to expansion of education, more and more students
are coming from different parts of the country to get university education. It has led
to increase in demands for more number of buses and other means of transportation
to reach the educational institutions. But the availability of buses is inadequate in
number. In such a situation, students face difficulties to reach their colleges, especially
during exams when they have to reach their examination centres on time. This has
led to several problems like strikes, road blocks, fights and even increase in crimes.
This is especially unsafe for female students and teachers as they have to walk long
distance or wait at the bus stops for a long period of time. There is an urgent need
of providing more ‘University Special’ buses on different routes so that college going
students can travel easily to their institutions. Overcrowded buses are unsafe for all
passengers as well as a few accidents have also been reported where people have
fallen down from the buses while travelling on the footboards. I hope that through

Through the columns of your esteemed newspaper, I would like to show my concern
over the outdated education system which has not helped in creating more jobs in
India. Our education system still suffers from colonial influence and is not suitable
for the needs and demands of the contemporary times. Knowledge is confined to
reading, cramming and clearing the examinations. The syllabus focuses on teaching
what is given in the textbooks which make the education system theoretical. This
kind of education is not at all job oriented. Vocational training is the need of the hour.
The education system should be revamped to provide practical education apart from
academic knowledge. It is important to inculcate moral and value based education in
schools and colleges to deal with the challenges being faced by our modern society.
The evaluation system needs to be designed to recognise students’ creativity, problem-
solving, innovative and leadership skills. The education system in India needs to be
remolded to produce world-class leaders rather than producing cheap labor for the
developed nations.

Sub: Raising concern at the rapidly mushrooming illegal colonies and slums in metros
Sir
Through the columns of your esteemed newspaper, I would like to express my concern
over the rapidly mushrooming illegal colonies and slums in the metros and want to
suggest some remedial measures to stop them. Migrants from other states come to
metropolitan cities in search of work and start living illegally in slums due to lack of
affordable housing options. These slums have no provision for potable water, drainage
system and electricity which leads to the problems of water logging, insanitary living
conditions, spread of diseases, etc. Due to unavailability of garbage disposal systems,
these slums are breeding grounds for mosquitoes and other deadly diseases. These
diseases then spread all over the city. Authorities must make arrangements for people
living here and should provide basic amenities to the people living in slums. The
authorities should also maintain proper record of these people so that benefits of
government schemes might reach to them.

Through the columns of your esteemed newspaper, I would like to highlight the
nuisance created by stray animals on the roads.
A large number of stray cattle keep roaming on the busy roads at all hours of the
day. Many a time, they have been the cause behind traffic jams as well as accidents.
They create an unsafe environment for children and elderly people as they fear
being attacked by the stray cattle. Children feel afraid to go out to play. Elderly can’t
enjoy walking in the nearby parks. Sometimes fight amongst bulls lead to destruction
of public property. They also dirty the roads and park. This gives a very ugly look
to the whole area. We had complained to the municipal authorities on several
occasions, but no action was taken to deal with this menace. I request the concerned
authorities through the medium of your paper to take immediate action to deal with
this problem.

Through the column of your prestigious national daily, I want to highlight the
problem of noise pollution caused by religious celebrations. There’s an urgent need
of imposing blanket ban on the use of loudspeakers during religious celebrations. Use
of loudspeakers at religious processions, festival celebrations, holy songs blasting at
full volume during early mornings and late evenings have become the cause of great
nuisance to the residents of our area. Patients, elderly people, babies and students
are exposed to a great deal of suffering due to the loudspeakers blaring music at odd
hours.
Excessive noise adversely affects both physical as well as mental health. It is proven
that continuous exposure to loud noise causes a number of health ailments like
hypertension, stress, loss of hearing, disturbed sleep, etc. It is also disturbing for
students, especially those preparing for exams. I hope the concerned authorities will
understand the gravity of the problem and take strict steps to deal with this menace.

Through the column of your prestigious newspaper, I want to highlight the problem
of child abuse. Abusing innocent children is one of the gravest problems prevailing in
the world. Children being small, vulnerable and afraid to speak are often physically,
mentally, emotionally and sexually abused. We find a lot of stories on TV, radio or
in newspaper about children being abused. Rise in nuclear families, easy access to
violent and adult content, lack of value education in schools, lack of strict laws and
their implementation, lack of social support, fear of stigma, lethargic dispensation
of justice, etc. are some of the factors that contribute to rising cases of child abuse.
Abuse of any kind leaves deep psychological scars on a child’s mind. Children are
the future of the nation. Child abuse not only endangers the health and welfare of the
abused children but also adversely affects the nation’s growth. Parents must educate
children about sexual advances or threats and protect them from abuse through
the concept of “good and bad touch”. People should donate to NGOs that provide
dedicated services fighting child sex abuse, and providing rehabilitation to victims of
abuse. People should report to police any kind of abuse they witness. General public
should help the government agencies to fight against child abuse.

I would like to bring to your kind attention that the water supply in our locality is very
poor. There are around 20000 people living in this area. We are facing problems of
poor quality and insufficient quantity of water supply for the last six months. Water
is supplied for only fixed two hours per day. It is very difficult to fill water in such less
time for the entire day, especially for those who have bigger families. It has also led
to almost daily clashes among people. With the approaching summers it would be
impossible for us to survive. Moreover since the last few days the quality of water
has deteriorated. People are forced to buy bottled water at exorbitant prices. Those
who cannot afford to buy water are forced to drink the muddy water. If something is
not done soon the health of the residents would be at risk. I request you to consider
our demands as high priority as our life is at stake. We had complained many times
to the local authorities but no remedial action has been taken. I, therefore, request
you to look into this matter and take necessary action immediately.

with sound and picture quality. The screen gets blurred every now and then. The
sound is not clear even at a high volume. The product has a two-year warranty against

ANSWER KEY
1. The map describes the growth of a fishing town from 1995 to present day. One can
see significant changes have taken place in the fishing town’s infrastructure between
the time periods.
It can be observed that the farmland and the forest park located in the northeast of
the fishing town have been cleared and converted into a golf course and a tennis
court. The housing area situated on both the sides of the main road in the north-west
has not undergone any major changes. A new road connecting to the main road has
been added from the west direction to provide connectivity to the newly constructed
houses on that side.
Earlier there were shops and a fish market on the south western side of the town
near the fishing port. These shops and fish market have been replaced by a line of
restaurants and apartments. On the south eastern part of the town, a car park has
been built near the hotel. In 1995, a fishing port used to exist on the southern side
of the village but it has been removed now.
2. The graph shows the percentage of profits earned by two companies between the
years 2000-2005. It can be deducted clearly that Company A has shown more
steady growth than Company B, especially during the last years of analyses. During
2000, Company A was in loss. It incurred around 10% losses in this year. On the
other hand Company B registered a profit of 10%. Both the companies were on the
opposite ends of the spectrum in 2000. In 2001, Company A remained steady with
no profits and no loss while company B incurred a loss of 5%. An equal increase
of 5% in profits is observed in both companies in the year 2002. In the year 2003,
Company B registered a sharp decline of 10 % while Company A achieved a profit
of 5%. In 2004, Company B showed substantial improvement by registering 15%
profits while Company A registered a profit of 10% in the same year.
In conclusion, the graph shows a tough competition between the two companies with
Company A being a little ahead in terms of profit.
3. The table shows information about the number of people who visited various museums
and galleries in Britain in 1981, 1991 and 2001. The pie chart shows the distribution
of different kinds of visitors who visited five different museums and galleries in Britain
in three different years.
British Museum received the highest proportion of visitors while Tate Gallery received
the lowest numbers of visitors in the years the survey was conducted. National History
Museum received the highest number of visitors in 1991 among all the museums and
galleries. The number of visitors continued to drop in the next few years. In 1981,
British Museum was visited by the second highest number of people after the National
History Museum. It continued to show upward trend in the next two years. Science
Museum received around 3.4 million visitors in 1981. The number dropped to 2.3
millions in 1991 and 1.7 millions in 2001. National History Museum and Science
Museum are the two places which have shown drops in number of visitors. National
Gallery received 2.5 million visitors in 1981. The number increased to 3.7 in 1991 and
5.4 million in 2001. Among those who visited these museums, the highest percentage

Stage 1: Introduction
To be attempted by students on their own.
Stage 2: Presentation
(Candidate A : I want to express my views on the topic “Importance of Trees”.)
Without trees human existence on earth is almost impossible. Trees provide us with two basic
elements of survival – oxygen and food. With human evolution, trees started to be used for
medicines, shelter and other commercial purposes. Trees protect the earth from soil erosion,
fires, floods, and wind. They are used as fences, windbreaks, and barriers. They help slow
down water evaporation from soil and act as nature’s air conditioner. They provide habitat to
a diverse array of wildlife from its lower levels up to the very high canopies. Trees and shrubs
also improve soil and water conservation, store carbon, moderate local climate by providing
shade, regulate temperature, provide habitat to wildlife and improve the capacity of the land
to adapt to climate change.
(Candidate B: What is more important – environment or industry?)
Candidate A : The very existence of industry is dependent on the environment. Moreover,
industry cannot provide us primary goods like air, water, food, etc. It can be provided only by the
environment. Industry can provide us secondary goods by making use of these primary resources.
(Examiner: In what manner do trees impact human life?)
Candidate A : Without trees, human life on earth is not possible. During the process of
photosynthesis, trees take in carbon dioxide and produce the oxygen we breathe. They stabilise
the soil, regulate the temperature, provide protection against flood and droughts and provide
habitat to a large number of animals and birds. They also provide the materials for infrastructure
and shelter.

Stage 1: Introduction
To be attempted by students on their own.
Stage 2: Presentation
(Candidate A : I want to express my views on the topic “Over Population and Unhealthy Living
Conditions”.)
Overpopulation is one of the major threats being faced by the nation today. The excessive rise
in population has made a mockery of all our plans for development. Poverty and unhealthy
living conditions escalate with the rise in the number of people. The growing population is
hampering the living standards of the people. It is very difficult to provide good health services
to so many people. A large number of people suffer from various diseases because of lack of
medical facilities. Inaccessible, inadequate, or non-existent health care makes the poor exposed
to infectious diseases. High densities of population increase the chance of the emergence of new
pandemics and epidemics. Freshwater sources are limited. Overpopulation creates immense
pressure on the world’s freshwater availability. The unavailability of freshwater to a large number
of people leads to death and diseases.
(Candidate B: Should India adopt a strict one-child policy to control population?)
Candidate A: India should implement a one-child policy to control the population. Not only
will the policy help control head counts, but it will also provide many advantages socially and
economically. One-child policy can help reduce population growth in India which in turn will
lead to more and better opportunities and access for people in terms of education, employment,
health facilities and living standards.
(Examiner: How is overpopulation harmful for the environment?)
Candidate A : Overpopulation is harmful for any nation as it is associated with negative impact on
the environment due to over-farming, excessive exploitation of natural resources, deforestation,
and air, water and soil pollution and global warming.
(Examiner: How does overpopulation hinder the development of a country?)
Candidate A : The larger the size of population, the larger number of mouths are to be fed. It
puts burden on existing resources. If other resources are not available in sufficient quantities
then it leads to starvation, disease, death and conflict.

Stage 1: Introduction
To be attempted by students on their own.
Stage 2: Presentation
(Candidate A : I want to express my views on the topic “The Menace of Drug Addiction”.)
Drug addiction has become a problem of gigantic proportions for our society. Drug abuse
has become quite common in almost every country nowadays. This evil spreads easily and
increasingly in the places like hostels and campuses where a huge number of students become
easy victims. Many of the youngsters and students have easy access to drugs of various kinds.
Drugs have been used since long for medical purposes. Nowadays, they are being abused by
our young generation for recreational purposes. Sometimes young boys and girls take drugs and
narcotics due to peer pressure. Sometimes, they start taking drugs to alleviate pain but gradually
become addicted to this bad habit. In India the number of drug abusers has been increasing at
an alarming rate. Several reasons are responsible for this menace. The most observed reason
is the lack of enough parental attention, love and care. In unloving families, young people go
astray and find relief in drugs. Drug addicts or sellers in the name of friendship mislead them
and induce them to find solace by taking drugs and narcotics. Once tasted, they get addicted
to it very soon.
Once addicted, they become so immoral and helpless that they don’t hesitate even to commit
crimes of various types in order to get drugs. More de-addiction camps and rehabilitation centres
should be established by the government to provide medical treatment for the addicts. Also,
strict action should be taken against those who sell drugs.
(Candidate B: How can you spread awareness against drug addiction?)
Candidate A : The young boys and girls must be made aware of the fact that they will be crippled
for life because of drug addiction. They should be guided about the value of health, family
through the means of camps, group discussion, counselling sessions, plays, etc. Their parents
and friends should participate actively in order to help them to give up on this addiction.
(Examiner : Do you think meditation or alternative therapy can be helpful in controlling drug
addiction?)
Candidate A : Yes, meditation or alternative therapy can be helpful in controlling drug addiction.
Meditation and other alternative therapy helps in improving self-control and suppressing the
cravings for drugs.
(Candidate B : My topic is ‘Changing Face of Mass Media’.)
Human communication has been changing and developing since its origin. Till the middle of
the last century, newspaper and magazine were the principal source of mass communication.
Later, radio became a popular source of mass communication and entertainment. Individuals
frequently tuned in to radio to know what was happening in the world. Newspapers still remained
popular. As soon as televisions were invented, TV turned into the fundamental source of the mass
communications. Since TV had the qualities of both radio and newspaper, it had a much wider
appeal. In 1962 with the launch of the first satellite, people got access to live news. Nowadays

Through the column of your esteemed daily, I would like to draw the kind attention
of the concerned authorities and common masses towards the spread of diseases
during summers. As a responsible citizen, I’d like to create awareness about the
sudden spurt in the water-borne diseases among the public through this letter.
With the onset of summer, there is a sudden spurt of water-borne diseases like
cholera, dysentery, etc. It has become highly necessary to keep a check on such
diseases and their sources. Awareness campaigns need to be organised by the
government. A drive for pasting informative posters containing messages on how
to control spread of water borne diseases should be launched by local authorities.
We as citizens must also do our bit to control the spread at our end. I hope attention
would be given to my suggestions and some immediate steps must be taken in
this direction.

It worked fine for a few days after the purchase but I feel disappointed to say that

Through the columns of your esteemed newspaper, I would like to draw the
attention of concerned authorities towards the nuisance caused by traffic jams.
Traffic jams are the bane of city life. Caused by accidents, political rallies, strikes,
construction work, VIP movement and encroachment, these jams are a menace.
Time is the most essential thing. These jams lead to the wastage of time to a great
extent. Traffic jams not only affect the environment but also the health of human
beings. It has been proved that increased air pollution generated by vehicle jams
causes blood pressure to rise and arteries to inflame, increasing chances of heart
attack and stroke for people who reside near traffic-prone areas.
To get rid of the problem, I would suggest that more and more traffic instructors
should be appointed at traffic prone areas. Traffic rules should be made stringent

2. (a) The pie chart shows the percentage of money spent on various items and savings
by a family during the year 2001. The family spent 23% of its income on food,
15% on household activities, 10% on clothing, 15% on children’s education, 5%
on transport, and 20% on miscellaneous things. After these expenditures, the
family managed to save 15 per cent of their total income.
The family spent their money wisely. The largest percentage of their income was
spent on food, i.e. 23%. Education also got sufficient attention of the family
with 15% of spending. The same amount was also contributed towards housing.
Spending 5% on transport and 10% on clothing are also reasonable. With all
these expenditures the family is able to save about 15 percent of the total income,
which is pretty good.
(b) Women are the creators of life. Their empowerment needs to be ensured so that
they can contribute efficiently in the economic, social, political, and environmental
growth of the society. Women and girls everywhere must have equal rights and
opportunity, and should be able to live freely. Violence against women and gender-
based discrimination must be dealt with strictly. Urgent steps must be taken to
eliminate the many root causes of such discrimination that still curtails women’s
freedom in private and public spheres. Gender equality is crucial for the future of
the society. It is proven that empowering women helps achieve higher economic
growth and development. Women are better able to understand emotions and
body language making them rational thinkers and team coordinators. Women are
better at negotiating as they combine their wider knowledge of societal experiences
with their negotiation skills and hence have a better chance of cracking a deal.
A society cannot progress efficiently if women are not provided a safe space and
opportunities to grow as well as men.

I am a resident of Preet Vihar, East Delhi. Through this letter, I would like to draw
your attention towards the hazardous problems caused by an industry near our
colony.
The waste generated by the industry is dumped directly into the lake beside it
without being treated. The dumped waste not only pollutes the lake but also gives
off a foul smell that permeates through the entire area. Apart from the foul smell,
the industrial plant also creates a lot of noise. This disturbs the peace of the people
living in the area, especially sick, senior citizens, babies and students.
The unrestricted dumping of the waste material is a health hazard for the people
living in this area.
Kindly take immediate action to rectify the situation to restore peace and health

Through the columns of your esteemed newspaper, I would like to draw the
attention of common folk and the concerned authorities towards the issue of rapid
commercialisation of education.
Education these days has become a business venture rather than a means to
contribute to the society. Quality education can now be afforded by only those
with money and privilege. Schools regularly and randomly increase their fees
leading to added pressure on common people. Added to this is the cost of
additional educational expenditures like books, stationery articles, uniform and
transportation. The increasing prices of all these items are breaking the backbone
of the parents of school-going children. Schools also charge for lab equipment,
educational tours, technology charges, etc. It is high time to realise the gravity of
this problem.
Government should take swift and drastic measures to stop the blatant
commercialization. It should form a body to regulate school fee and check
indiscriminate rise in the cost of education. The students from lower income
groups should be given additional financing support so that they can get good
quality education. Government should also improve the condition of government
schools so that people are not forced to send their children to expensive public
schools to get good education.
I hope my views find space in your esteemed daily.
Thanking you

2. (a) The table tells about the population characteristics of six states in a particular year.
Population, literacy and level of education shown in the table are basic indicators
of the level of development achieved by these states in a particular year. According
to the table, state D with literacy rate of 82% has the highest literacy among all
six states. As evident from the table, all the states except D and F have sex ratio
skewed against women. The gap in sex ratio is more in the states A and C. State A
has lowest literacy rate while state D has lowest population. The state with highest
population is E with 54 million people. The table clearly shows a relationship
between literacy rate and sex ratio. States with high literacy rate have better sex
ratio. In conclusion, state D can be called the best state with least population,
highest literacy rate and good sex ratio.
(b) Air pollution has many forms and is caused by several factors. The government
has banned the use of firecrackers to control pollution. But what we need is
awareness and regulation here. Diwali is celebrated once in a year but pollution
is an all year phenomenon. The problem is not that if people burst crackers,
the air will become polluted but it is that the air is already so polluted that we
cannot add more pollutants by bursting crackers. Pollution caused by the burning
of firecrackers during Diwali is just the tip of the iceberg. A number of factors
contribute to hazardous air quality especially during winter months in Delhi.

(b) The young woman’s hair is of yellow colour. She says that it’s not difficult for
her to get her hair dyed to brown, black, green or any other colour. She wanted
to change the colour of her hair so that the young men desirous of her attention
would love her for her inner qualities and not her yellow hair.
(c) The pilot of Dakota DS 088 saw the storms when he was 150 km away from Paris.
All the instruments of his aeroplane suddenly stopped working. There were dark
clouds all around him so he could not see anything. Clouds appeared to him like
huge mountains.
(B) (a) An old woman called her “a shameless girl.” She also called her “a harmless dumb
cow.” Bholi turned defensibly on the old woman. She told her that everybody
had thought of her to be a dumb cow and so they wanted to hand her over to
such a heartless creature. But the dumb cow had learnt to speak and would be
silenced no more.
(b) Griffin wanted to go to a place where he could relax and get protection from the
chilly winter days. He also needed warm clothes and something to eat. So, he
slipped into a big London store and stole some money and food from there. He
also opened boxes and took out warm clothes and clothed himself.

mounting materials and other equipment. If he did not have anything to do, she
found things for him to learn.
2. (A) (a) The young seagull was afraid to fly because he was fearful that he would fall. It
was his first flight so he didn’t have courage and confidence. He thought that his
wings would not support him if he tried to fly. It is absolutely natural and common
that trying something for the first time can be a bit challenging and frightening. It is
possible that every bird is afraid of making its first flight. Similarly, a human baby
is also fearful when it takes the first step to try to walk. It also finds it challenging
when it learns to sit, crawl or stand up without assistance.
(b) The tiger feels as if he is enslaved in the concrete cell. It gives him a feeling of
being a prisoner. He longs to be free in the forest where he should be lurking in

attack the plump deer who come there to drink water. He ignores his visitors. He
is helpless and walks about the limited space of his cell.
(c) The poem ‘How to Tell Wild Animals’ by Carolyn Wells revolves around the
various ways of how to identify the wild animals. The poet has made an attempt
to distinguish one animal from the other in a humorous way. The poet suggests
that although adventurous but it can be very risky to be in such a close proximity
to these wild beasts. Some other titles that can fit the theme of the poem are

Sir
Through the columns of your esteemed newspaper, I would like to draw the
attention of everyone towards the growing menace of domestic violence against
women.
Women are often the victims of violence in their own households. Most of the
married women face domestic violence from their husbands; whereas unmarried
women are treated violently by their parents, siblings or teachers. They continue to
be the silent victims instead of seeking any help. This is because since childhood,
girls observe their household ladies being oppressed and they grow up to believe
that they are weak and are destined for this ill treatment against them.
It is necessary that women must be provided with good education that makes
them self-dependent, and also aware about how to fight the injustices done against
them. The males should also be raised in such a manner that they learn to treat
women equally and respectfully. The government and the people need to come
together to fight violence against women. Strict laws must also be made by the
Government for the safety of women. I believe my views will find a place in the
columns of your newspaper and help to bring about a change in the society in
favour of women.

1. (A) (a) Rajvir displayed his knowledge about tea plantation by telling Pranjol’s father that
it was the second sprouting period of the year that lasts from May to July and

expected. This made Rajvir’s father very impressed with Pranjol.
(b) Valli found her woman co-passenger to be ‘absolutely repulsive’ as she noticed
that there were big holes in her earlobes which carried ugly earrings in them. She
was chewing betel nut and the betel juice was about to spill over her lips. Thus,
Valli did not feel like befriending her.
(c) The phrase ‘O there are other balls’ suggests that the loss is not important enough
to worry about. Here, the ball that the child lost was his prized possession. So, it
was pointless to console him by saying that his loss can be easily compensated

(B) (a) Tricki’s health made a rapid progress in the surgeon’s care. He was not given
any medicines. Instead, he was provided with opportunities for enough physical
exercise and his diet was strictly controlled. He was given food only when he was
hungry. Thus the dog got healthy soon.
(b) The narrator did not like his job as a junior assistant clerk where he only had to
serve summons. He wanted to be a real lawyer in a good city. After Bill’s friendly
description of the people of New Mullion, he had started to like the city, and thus
considered returning there to practise law.
(c) A sense of real Science entered Ebright and he realised that winners try to do real
experiments and not just put up a simple neat display. So, when he didn’t win
any prize at the Science Fair, he didn’t lose heart. The incident motivated him to
become a bright scientist.
2. (A) (a) Lomov told Natalya and Chubukov that his aunt’s grandmother gave the Meadows
to Chubukov’s grandfather’s peasants for the temporary and free use. So he was
the rightful owner of the Oxen Meadows. But when they kept on claiming the
ownership over the Meadows, Lomov offered to show them the documents and
even threatened them to the court.
(b) Wanda’s family left the city and moved to another city because her father didn’t
want her daughter Wanda to feet hurt when the children teased her. He was of
an opinion that in bigger cities, people are accustomed to seeing people from
different cultures and races and have a better understanding of cultural disparities
and sensibilities. So, it may be different for the family there as people won’t bother
to tease them by calling them ‘pollack’ or by asking them why their name was
funny.
