Paper Making
Through the ages, paper is playing a great role in our life. The procedure of paper making is slightly hard by chainwise processing.
To make paper, at first, wood or bamboo is cut up into pieces which are ground into a pulp in a big machine after cleaning.
Next, the pulp is put into great tanks and mixed with lime in order to make the mixture soft and white. The pulp is then boiled and passed over a wire mesh which is kept moving by the rollers; thus we have the wet paper which is once again passed through another machine with a big roller.
It is heated and streamed. Thereafter the wet paper is passed and dried there. Afterwards, this paper is wound into big rolls and cut into different sizes such as a double crown, double full scape and demy. Finally, the cut paper is packed into reams.
Question 5. Chart: Seeds are collected and dried – those seeds are put into haulier for crushing – a little water is added for extracting oil- oil cakes are separated – oil is collected in containers and sealed – oil is ready for sale.

Question 9. Extraction of Ganga water purification by mixing alum reserved in big tanks- filtered in filter bed-supplied through pipes-taken into pressure house-testing done- further purified in filter houses-chlorine added
Supply Of Drinking Water To Kolkata
The supply of drinking water to Kolkata from Palta is a complicated process. At first, water is extracted from the Ganga near Palta.
Next, the water is purified by mixing alum with it. The purified water is reserved in big tanks and then filtered into the filter bed.
The water is further purified in filter houses by adding chlorine to it. In the next stage, testing is done to confirm that the water to be used for drinking purposes is pure and fit for use.
Thereupon, the water is taken into the pressure house from where the water is supplied to houses through pipes. This water is not only used for drinking but for other purposes as well.
Question 10. Letters written-dropped in postal boxes – collected by postmen – sorted in post offices – destination – air, sea, railways – despatched by mail van – different post offices – delivered by postmen to respective addresses.
How Postal System Works
Working in the postal system is a complicated process. First, letters are written and these are dropped in postal boxes.
The letters are then collected from the letter boxes by the postmen of different post offices. The collected letters are brought to the post offices where the sorting of letters is done.
The sorted letters are next despatched to different places by plane, ship and train. The letters are then sent to various post offices by mail van.
Now the postmen in post offices collect the letters and put them in bags. At last, they go out either by cycle or on foot to deliver letters to addresses in different places.
Question 11. Write a paragraph on the processing of guava jelly with the help of the following flowchart.
[Outlines: Collection ripe guavas —sorted and cleaned — cutting into small pieces — boiled, crushed — seeds separated — sugar syrups and preservative added — boiled again to make it thick — cooling and bottling in sterilised bottles — sealed and labelled — ready for sale.]
Answer:
Processing Of Guava Jelly
At first, ripe guavas are collected from the garden. These are then sorted out and the rotten ones are removed. The guavas are now cleaned with water and cut into small pieces.
These are then boiled in water and crushed to form a pulp. The pulp is next passed through a sieve to remove the seeds.
Sugar, syrup and some preservatives are then added to the pulp and the mixture is boiled again till it becomes thick. It is next allowed to cool and we get guava jelly.
This is now poured into sterilized bottles which are sealed and labelled. They are now ready for sale.
Question 12. Study the following chart carefully and then write a paragraph in about 120 words on the processing of solid rubber from rubber plants.
Rubber Processing
- LATEX – milk – white liquid
- Latex collected from rubber plantation
- Collection sent to factory in containers
- Latex treated with chemicals to get rubber slabs
- Slabs cut into pieces, pressed with rollers
- Smoked and dried into sheets
- This sheet was treated in the smokehouse for longer preservation
- Sent to market for use
Start like this: Rubber is a very useful material.
Answer:
Rubber is a very useful material. It is produced from the milky-white liquid called latex obtained from rubber plants. Latex is first collected from rubber plantations.
The collection is then sent to factories in containers. The thick latex is now mixed with chemicals. It is turned into rubber slabs.
The slabs are cut into pieces and pressed with rollers. Thus sheets of rubber are obtained. The rubber sheets are next sent to the smokehouse for treatment.
This treatment enables the rubber to be preserved for a long period of time. The treated rubber turns into dry sheets of rubber. It is then packed and sent to the market for sale.
Question 13. Study the following information about Gobar gas production. Enlarge it into a paragraph of about 100 words. Give the passage a title.
Answer:
Production Of Gobar Gas
The basic raw materials needed for the production of Gobar gas are cow-dung and water. Cow dung is collected daily and is kept in a big container where it is mixed with water in 1: 1 proportion.
The mixture is kept in the container for 25-30 days and stirred with an agitator all along. The mixture is then heated and Gobar gas is produced.
The gas, which is the main product, is stored in a container. Sludge, the by-product, is left behind and removed.
