Brother 1, I'm so hungry, kindly give me some food.
I'm holding the food in my beak for you. But you will have to jump the ledge and take it.
Iam scared! The sea below is so deep. I'll die.
No, you won't. We birds learn flying only after jumping. See, how well I'm flying.
Are you sure, I won't fall into the sea?
Yes, Brother 2 is right. Would a sister ask her brother to suicide? I am your sister. I am
just speechless at your fear.
OK! I trust you.

flying.)

School counselor: Hello Anne, please sit down
you look very disturbed and irritated. What's the
matter?
You: Well, to be honest, we all are disturbed. But
the irritation is because of the two boys sitting
behind me. They don’t allow me to concentrate
on studies in class. Moreover they themselves did
not study the whole year and now just when our
Annual results are going to be announced soon
they are worrying me by their negative thoughts.
They are making bets. I’m really nervous.
School counsellor: First of all, you need to relax.
Take a deep breath. How do you feel we can deal
with this situation rationally?
You: Well, I had been working really very hard at
home. In fact, I was well prepared for my Annual
exams. I wanted to see my parents feeling proud
on me. I was, even, very confident after my exams,
that I'm going to pass with flying colours. But right
now. I can’t bear the peer pressure. You know, the
air around me is so uncertain and the teachers are
quite unpredictable too.
School counsellor: I think you are overthinking it.
I thought you were a confident girl. Have faith in
yourself, dear.Q.Pranjol and Rajvir

Hey Pranjol! I think we should be visiting Coorg. It is a beautiful place with coffee plantatig,
Tcan smell the aroma already!
We visited a tea plantation last year, in Assam, I want to. :
There is a lot more to do in Coorg than smelling the coffee! The place has rainforests, so te
mega fauna will be worth watching. Not just this, Coorg provides opportunities to indulge,
adventure sports like river rafting, rappelling, mountain biking, to name a few.
That sounds interesting, but I would prefer some serene moments too, away from this pes.
pandemic hustle-bustle.
Ohi! The answer is Coorg again!
Oh, come on! You can’t be serious...
Believe me, I am. Coorg is the place. It has beautiful natural walking trails and the Brahmagis
hills offer a panoramic view. I read that the place has the largest Tibetan settlement, so the
environment will reflect peace and spirituality, 'm sure.
How to say, you've presented a fine case in favour of Coorg and convinced me. Lets plano
leave for Coorg next Wednesday!
The dialogues should be based on understanding of the chapter. There should be arguments from Pranjl
showing he requires more to get convinced. Rajvir, being an explorer must be able to give an interesting accourt
about Coorg to convince Pranjol. The persuasive element using examples from text descriptions need to be
showcased.
Apart from the above, the following could be added:
Coorg is culturally rich, the people there are brave and their hospitality is great.
Some people in Coorg are the only ones allowed to keep firearms without license. It will be fun meeting such
brave hearts.
Rainforests can be visited for flora and fauna.ing

[CBSE QB, 2020-21]
Wanda: In my personal opinion, a person who is
bullied regularly or has been bullied before, suffers
huge mental trauma and physical trauma. 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 getconfident 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.

filling in his shoes. 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.
Richard’s mother had been invited to a talk show
after Richard’s graduation from Harvard with the
highest honours. You attended that talk show.
Write the most memorable thing she spoke and
what you think it reveals about her.
[CBSE-QB, 2021]
A TALK SHOW
Emcee / Host : Well! Miss Ebright, how does it feel
now when your son, Richard was given award
for the young scientist as the highest honour at
International Science Fair?
Mother : It feels great! I mean it. My son was
always a special child who loved to experiment
with existing things. His extreme curious nature
and love for all forms of life led to this discovery.
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. Richard has always been a very
polite child right from his childhood. He has
never been too demanding. All he ever wanted
was to left alone to himself. 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. Being the only child he is all the more
closer to me than anyone else. For him, his world
revolves around meEmcee / Host : He graduated from Harvard
University with greatest honours. What is your
reaction?
Mother : Well! he very rightly deserves it. He has
worked hard for it because of his tremendous
efforts, he has won over all obstacles to reach
where he is today.One of your friends has to attend a class party at

You: . o

You : Frankly, the ideal way to live is being as
simple as possible. Buying a costly dress doesn’t
mean you would look the best in the party. One
can look pretty even in a simple attire. So, go for
something very normal in best colours.
Friend : Just suggest something...........
You : May be a saree. It makes a woman look
beautiful in all situations in all times. So,;why don’t
you go for it. There are a number of varieties like to
choose from.

are the best adviser when it comes to suggest
something
Thanks any ways.You and your friend have a conversation about
prevalent discrimination between boys and girls,
even today. Write the dialogue.
You may begin like this:
Friend: I don’t think discrimination in terms of
gender is a thing of the past.
You:Ans.
Friend: Hmmm. Yes, I agree, though we are in the
21st century it still continues in a blatant manner
in many parts of the country.
YOU: ....cseeesesecscecccnsceseseseseeee [CBSE-QB, 2021]
You: Very true it is prevalent even today. After so
much of heated debates, still the condition is same
in every corner of the country. We, as Indians, have
still not got rid of this age old system.
Friend: Have you ever faced it in your life?
You: Many times, being a girl child in my family
and that too belonging to a Rajput community, I
have faced it many times.
Friend: Can you give one instance, when you felt
it?
You: Well! During my grown years, I always felt
that my brother was given special treatment. I
wanted to study Genetic Engineering but my
father refused saying that he needs to give my
brother a chance to study engineering. He could
not afford our academic expenses.
Friend: Did you fight it?
You : Yes, in a very hard way. I studied Chemistry
honours in college and topped became a lecturer in
college.
Friend: Wow! That's great
You : ThanksQ. Justasa love for outer appearances is not true love,
love for the sake of money is not true love either.
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
