Some people lose their mental steadiness due to these bullies. They also lose their confidence after getting bullied. They also lose their confidence after getting bullied either temporarily or permanently. Moreover, if the person who is bullying other people succeeds in doing so, then he will get confident and continue bullying people. 51; cases should be reported immediately. Nelson Mandela: I strongly believe that the people who are victim of bullying learn to handle these situations independently if they receive proper assistance. Therefore, a person should be taught to retaliate against the bully, and at the same time, they should be taught not to bully on the weaker people to show them the power. The oppressor should not suppress, and the victim should protest against this. a \ Natalya and Lomov argued about the ownersh: Q of Oxen Meadows and the superiority o¢ ta respective dogs in the play, The Proposal.

Create a conversation between Ausable and the new agent about indispensable traits that a secret agent must have. [CBSE-QB, 2021| New agent: Monsieur Ausable, you have been famous as a committed employee in our department. I have also heard a lot about your quick wittedness, intelligence and hard work. But when I saw you I was really surprised to see your simple way of living. Please guide me by throwing some light on the traits a secret agent must have. Ausable: Well! Being a secret agent in real life may not match the glamorous and flashy images from movies and television. Spying is often a low-key, tireless and thankless endeavour. However, it is certainly not for those who lack commitment or the joint of heart. One needs to develop a number of practical and risk averse characteristics for spying. As a spy, you need to have keen senses and develop them further through training in aspects like how to collect and evaluate vital information. Also, you must have a natural adaptable and high functioning ability to interact with others. While doing so, it is essential that you keep your composure and be able to work independently. You see appearances are deceptive. You need to have a clever mind and be witty to become a successful secret agent. Ans.

Emcee / Host : Do you treat him in a special way now that he has become so famous ? Mother : For me, he is my same child with normal needs and wants.

So, that he is into his world of science and surroundings. Emcee / Host : Do you love him ? Mother : Yes, | do. As a mother he is very dear to me.

Pen down a dialogue exchange between Anne | Gregory and any character from “The Proposal” where Anne tries to explain how loving others simply for who they are is the most important virtue that everyone must possess. Ans. Anne : Dear, loving others simply for who they are is the most important virtue that everyone must possess. When we lose sight of what's most important - loving one unconditionally - We lose sight of our goals and dreams and being happy and healthy. But, I can’t agree with you. Money is motivation. You can pun a smile on the people around you. Without money you can’t do that. If one is not rich then he is at a risk of getting depressed. His social reputation is at risk too. Money is a barrier from being happy to being sad. Money is more important than love. ‘Anne : I can’t believe it. I strongly feel thay money can never bring happiness. One can buy an expensive bed with money but sound slee can’t be bought. Love can do it. Ultimately, to live a fulfilling and happy life, first and foremost, requires that you love all that you are and trust that life loves you in return. 536 EXTRA MILE Education & Training X-tra Mile Help Desk X-tra Mile is extending its services to all the educational institutions in India.
