The fair was quite a large one. There were hundreds of shops with things and articles both of necessity and luxury. People crowded all these shops and were buying and bargaining over articles necessary in our daily life.
Children thronged in front of toy shops. An atmosphere of din and bustle always prevailed at the fair. The merry-go-round was the biggest attraction for children. I had a ride on it with my younger sister and we enjoyed the ride greatly.
Flower and fruit plants and saplings were selling like hot cakes from nurseries there. I purchased a few of them and my sister bought balloons and toys. At last, we entered a food stall and had some refreshments there.

Midday Meals In Schools
Midday meal means the meal provided to students at midday in government schools. It aims at creating a situation in which children will have a chance to eat together just as they learn together.
The scheme covers 12 crore children who are in different primary schools and some high schools in the state. It has a positive impact on attendance. Many children go to school regularly in the hope of getting meals there.
It also checks dropout rates in poor rural areas. Children belonging to poor families continue to go to school. However, the scheme is not without criticism. Students going to school are more interested in meals than in their lessons.
Moreover, there are problems with the proper implementation of this great scheme. As a result of this great scheme, a day will come when not a single student will be absent from class and they will enjoy the company of one another during the midday meals.
Question 4. Write a paragraph within 100 words using the following points :
Functions Of Forest:
- Used as food, fuel, furniture, spices, medicines, etc.
- Purifying air through photosynthesis,
- Preventing erosion of soil, flood and
drought, - Shade and shelter to animals and men.
Efforts Of The Government :
- Preservation of forests,
- Plantation of more trees.
- Usefulness Of Plants And Trees
The utility and usefulness of plants and trees cannot be exaggerated or overestimated. Forests have many functions. Trees are used as a food both by men and animals. Some herbs and plants are used to prepare medicines and spices. Wood is also used as fuel and is necessary to make furniture.
Another very important function of trees is to purify air through photosynthesis. They supply oxygen and absorb the harmful carbon-di>oxide (CQ>) from the air. Soil erosion which is posing a great threat nowadays can be stopped only by planting and protecting more and more trees.
Forests cause normal rainfall which can control floods and prevent drought. Trees provide shade to tired travelers and animals and shelter to birds. But it is very unfortunate that trees are now being mercilessly felled by unscrupulous people. This should be stopped at any cost. Efforts are, however, being made by the Government for proper preservation and plantation of trees.
Question 5. Write in about 100 words a paragraph on My Aim in Life.
My Aim In Life
Every person should have a definite aim and ambition to succeed in life. A man with no fixed aim is just like a ship with no rudder. He must be a very helpless and hopeless man.
So, I have already fixed my aim in life. I have decided to be an ideal school teacher in the future. My father is a renowned Headmaster at my village school. His life of sincerity and sacrifice for the spread of education in my locality has greatly inspired me.
This is a very noble profession. A teacher can shape young boys and girls well at the formative stage of their lives. What the country badly needs now is a true citizen.
And it is the teacher who can build them by giving them proper education. It is, however, not easy to become a good and great teacher. So it is my noble duty to be very serious and sincere in my studies from now on so that I may prepare myself well.

The previous night I expressed to him my intention of visiting Ganga Sagar. An experienced man like my cousin was, advised me not to undertake a trip to that place in view of the storm which was so common by the summer evenings.
But the next day I went out all alone without paying any heed to my cousin’s advice. I reached Sagar Island though the route was unknown to me of course, that evening gave up the idea of visiting Ganga Sagar as it was about thirty kilometers away from Kachuberia.
I was waiting for the next launch to come back to Kakdwip. But then a storm started brewing. Gradually the storm broke out, accompanied by a heavy shower.
The launch services were canceled. I got much worried because I was to come back to my uncle’s residence before my cousin’s return by 6 p.m. In the meantime, the storm and the rain stopped and I reached Kakdwip by 8 p.m.
All the time I went on thinking about what my cousin would think about me. However, I reached Diamond Harbour by 1 0 p.m. and on the way fortunately met my worried cousin going to lodge a diary complaint with the local police station.

Leisure
Leisure means free time at one’s disposal. It also means the absence of work. The necessity and importance of leisure can hardly be exaggerated. It is as useful and important as the work itself.
Work and leisure are co-related. We can not think of one without the other. However heavy our duties may be, we must find some time every day during which we must relax ourselves doing as we, please.
If a machine goes on working all the time, it will get out of order soon. Our body and mind are no exception to this law of nature. After some rest, we can work with renewed vigor and energy. Leisure or spare time is absolutely necessary for creative work.
It is only during leisure hours that one can think freely and properly and create something new. Poets and writers, scientists, and philosophers have made their creations in their leisure hours.
Leisure is correctly called our freedom-a part of independence because now we can do what we like according to our sweet will.

Man’s curiosity to know the unknown and to see the unseen is eternal and inherent. He goes out for travelling to quench this thirst in him. Traveling increases and supplements man’s knowledge about different things. It broadens man’s vision and outlook by killing his narrowness and prejudices.
The traveler’s mental horizon widens and broadens when he comes in contact with various people, their cultures,s and customs. Traveling plays an important role in strengthening the national unity and integrity of a country.
The people of a country come closer to one another through traveling. It also makes travelers very resourceful and practical. Traveling teaches them how to overcome difficult situations which come their way.

Value Of Time
God has given us a very short life but a long list of work to be done. Thus we should utilize time very wisely. There is a very old saying that time and tide wait for none. The time passed and never comes back.
If wealth is lost it can be regained but this is not liable to time. When we are young with all life before us, we are tempted to be careless because we think we have so much of it but as the years slip away,
we discover too late, that we have wasted the greater part in the aimless pursuit. The right use of time results in success while the wastage of the same results in failure. Even during examination time management is very important to finish the paper on time.

people-daily wage-earners are the worst affected-daily necessaries getting costly cost of living rises>anti-social activities on the increase-Solution: Drive against dishonest businessmen-strict laws-buyers’ resistance- ’grow more food campaign.
Price Rise
The rise in the prices of essential commodities is posing a great problem these days. The main reason behind the price rise is the artificial shortage of food grains created by dishonest hoarders and black marketeers. Fall in food supply and population growth are the other causes.
As a result of this price rise, the common people of our society are suffering greatly. Daily wage earners are the hardest hit in the present situation.
Daily necessities are getting costly and the cost of living is gradually rising. Because of this rise in prices, anti-social activities are increasing.
To check and control price rise, a drive against dishonest traders and businessmen is to be launched, strict laws are to be imposed, and buyers’ resistance is to be put up. And what is more important, we should raise the ‘grow more food’ slogan.
Question 12. Write a short paragraph on our national flag. Use the following points: Points: Colour — green, white, saffron — an occasion to hoist — history — your respectful homage.

Our National Flag
Our national flag is very sacred to us. It has three colored strips of equal width and they are all horizontal. The colors are saffron, white, and green. The saffron is at the top, white in the middle, and green at the bottom.
There is a wheel blue in color in the middle. Each color has its significance. The saffron color stands for sacrifice, the white color indicates truth and purity, and green stands for freshness and energy.
The wheel in the middle represents the Dharma Chakra of King Ashoka. This denotes activity and progress. The national flag is an emblem of national dignity.
Therefore, it has to be treated with honor and respect. It is hoisted daily on all important Government buildings. Only on the days of national festivals like Independence Day, Republic Day, etc. It can be hoisted on private buildings also.
Our national flag has a long history. Many freedom fighters sacrificed their lives for it. It is the duty of every Indian to uphold the honor of our national flag and pay homage to it.

Pollution
The damage to the purity of anything is called pollution. And the pollution of air, water, and land around us is called environmental pollution. Environmental pollution affects our health and causes loss to us in different ways.
Air pollution is caused by smoke from vehicles, chimneys of mills and factories, cooking ovens, etc. The bad smell of rotten garbages dumped in the streets, the bad smell of dead or rotten animals, and filthy surface drains pollute the air. If we inhale impure air, it will cause great harm to our lungs. Planting trees prevent air pollution.
Water is polluted when dirty, poisonous refuse matter from mills and factories is discharged into rivers. If we drink this water, it will damage our health.
Shrill sounds of the horns of lorries, buses, and microphones cause sound pollution. Sound pollution affects our power of hearing. Therefore, we shall have to be very careful about pollution if we want to live a healthy life.
Question 14. Write a paragraph within 100 words on “A Book you have recently read.” Points: Introduction – writer of the book- story element- its impact upon your conclusion.
Answer:
A book Have Recently Read
Recently I read the book ‘Ramer Sumati’ by Sarat Chandra. The story is all about a joint family. The central figure is Ramlal, the boy hero of the story, who lost his mother when he was a child. Since then he had been brought up with all the love and affection of a mother by Narayani, the wife of his stepbrother Shymlal.
Ramlal was an unruly boy, full of mischief. He was almost a terror to everyone, which worried Narayani. But her motherly love and affection gave him constant protection and saved the joint family from breaking. In fact, Narayani was more than a mother to Ramlal.
The author’s portrayal of Ramlal appeals to me the most. Though he was a terror to others, he was like a lamb to his sister-in-law Narayani.
He was a love-hungry boy and Narayani could understand his moods well. She loved him with all affection. These tender feelings have been nicely shown in the novel. I really liked the book.

My Likes And Dislikes
Likes and dislikes vary from man to man. The choice of an individual is guided or rather shaped by his taste and temperament. Now, the likes and dislikes of a person are manifested through his personality. As for myself, I am fond of reading detective stories, listening to music, and gardening.
What I dislike most is gossiping and politicking. Traveling is another thing that fascinates me. I find no interest in reading newspapers. I do not love cricket at all. I am out and out a football fan.
Recently I have started developing the habit of newspaper reading. But cricket does not call my attention. Watching T.V. seems boring to me. But I like riding my motorbike.
I am also fond of gardening and music. Anyway, my parents play a vital role in shaping my choices. My mother, a great lover of music, and father, well-versed in floriculture, inspire me a lot.

The newspaper is the most powerful organ for the expression of the news and views about men and things. The newspaper provides us with a great deal of information about the happenings in sports, politics, industry, agriculture, entertainment, and whatnot.
The newspaper brings the news of events from different corners of the world into the cozy atmosphere of our drawing rooms. The newspaper extends the bounds of our knowledge, it has great educative value.

Student life is a time of preparation for the future. It lays the foundation of one’s future career. A student has many duties to perform. The first and foremost duty of a student is to study well and seek knowledge.
The pursuit of knowledge demands hard work and total devotion. A student has duties to his parents and relatives, to his country, and to humanity at large. A student should obey and respect his teachers and parents and be guided by their advice.
A student should take interest in all the activities that promote his physical health. A student should form good manners and cultivate good habits.

Question 18. Write a paragraph about ‘Early Rising’ seeing the following points: The mind becomes fresh-Clear environment-Good concentration-Accumulate energy-Late risers deprived of the beauty of the sunrise.
Answer:
Early Rising
Early to bed and early to rise is a good habit. Early to rise has many advantages. In the early morning, our mind is fresh and the environment is clear. There are fewer distractions and noise.
So one concentrates on studies and does more work. A good amount of work can be completed before others even get out of bed. An early riser is also a healthy person. He has time to go for a walk or to exercise in the fresh air. It enables a person to accumulate energy for the whole day.
It is, therefore, good for the students to study in the morning hours. As compared to early risers late risers have definite disadvantages. They lose their prime time in sleeping and do not have enough time during the day.
This affects their studies, work, and health. They are deprived of the beauty of sunrise and the freshness of nature. If we disregard this principle of nature, we would be working against ourselves and restrict our growth.

There is complete choice and freedom. We should make the best use of time by developing new skills, learning many things besides playing and enjoying holidays.
During the holidays wish to spend at least one hour every day writing articles for the newspaper. To improve my health, I would like to spend two hours daily on sports and physical exercise.
Nowadays, computers are becoming very popular and indispensable. I will try to learn some basics about computers. I am also thinking to do gardening and enlarging my coin and stamp collection during the holidays.
I also intend to study several encyclopedias and improve my general knowledge by going through Google.
Question 20. Write a paragraph about the importance of cleanliness in 100 words.
Points:
- Next to godliness
- Great-virtue
- To keep clean public places
- To check different types of diseases
- Keep the environment clean for good health.
Answer:
Importance Of Cleanliness
There goes a proverb ‘cleanliness is next to godliness’. Cleanliness is a great virtue. But in our society, this great virtue is generally given little importance to public places such as bus stands, railway stations, public toilets, markets, etc.
which are normally kept unclean. People who are entrusted with the job of keeping these places clean are in most cases careless about their duties.
As a result, a bad smell comes out of dirt accumulating in these places all the time, and these become ideal places for spreading germs causing different diseases. Nobody can deny the importance of clean habits.
These only can give us a healthy body and mind. But we cannot ensure good health and the environment unless we have the desire for having them. First, we need to set our minds right, and then only can we have what we want-good healthy and cleaner surroundings.
Question 21. Write a paragraph (within 100 words) on your favorite author using the following points (the author’s name- his/her works- his/her writing style- what works of him/her you have read- why you like him/her)
Answer:
The Poet You Like Most
William Wordsworth, one of the finest English poets, is my favorite poet. He was born at Cockermouth in England in 1770. His father died when he was only thirteen years old.
He had his schooling at Hawkshead near Lake Windermere. To pursue his studies, William had to depend on the generosity of his two uncles who bore the expenses of his schooling.
William graduated from St. John’s College, Cambridge in 1791. He lived for some time in France and was greatly influenced by the French Revolution.
Publication of the ’Lyrical Ballads’ (1798) was the product and fruit of his friendship with Coleridge.’ The prelude (1805) is the record of Wordsworth’s growth as a poet.
His other great poems include ’The Excursion ’, ’Ode on the Intimations of Immortality, ’yarrow Revisited’ (1835) ’, ’Tintern Abbey, ’The Solitary Reaper’ to mention just a few.
Wordsworth defines poetry in his inimitable way: “the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings,” taking its origin from “emotion recollected in tranquility”, Wordsworth’s unalloyed and unmixed love of nature has endeared him to me.
He was a greater lover and admirer of nature. His dealings with nature are his chief glory as a poet. His treatment is accurate and direct. He wrote with his eyes “steadily fixed on the object”. As he wrote, he observed closely and this is evident in the slightest of his poems.
Question 22. Write a paragraph in about 120 words describing your visit to a fair. Use the following points: [place of the fair — its nature and time — its importance — who accompanied you — how you enjoyed it]
Answer:
A Visit To A Fair
On the occasion of Rathjatra or Car Festival, last year visited the famous fair held at Mahesh near Serampore. I went there on the evening of the day along with my parents and younger sister.
The fair was quite a large one. There were hundreds of shops with things and articles both of necessity and luxury. People crowded all these shops and were buying and bargaining over articles necessary in our daily life.
Children thronged in front of toy shops. An atmosphere of din and bustle always prevailed at the fair. The merry-go-round was the biggest attraction for children.
I had a ride on it with my younger sister and we enjoyed the ride greatly. Flower and fruit plants and saplings were selling like hot cakes from nurseries there.
I purchased a few of them and my sister bought balloons and toys. At last, we entered a food stall and had some refreshments there. Then we came back home tired and exhausted but very happy and fully contented.
Question 23. Write a paragraph on “The importance of growing more trees” (within 100 words) Using The Following Points : Points: Importance of trees in our everyday life — creating pollution — free atmosphere — preventing soil erosion, floods — steps were taken by the West Bengal Government — its advantages
Answer:
The Importance Of Growing Trees
Trees are useful and beautiful gifts of nature. They give us flowers, fruits, timber, bamboo, fuels, etc. which are so necessary for us. They are also a great source of paper, rubber, and gums absorb carbon-di-oxide from the atmosphere and release oxygen which we need for our life.
The roots of trees bind loose soil and prevent soil erosion. They cause rainfall and prevent air pollution. They protect us from severe weather. An area without trees soon becomes barren and turns into a desert in the course of time.
Trees thus help in maintaining ecological balance. Indeed they play a great role in civilization. We should therefore avoid random feelings of trees. Trees should be preserved with great care.
Question 24. Write a paragraph on safe driving, and saving a life. Points: Introduction — problems — benefits of safe driving — laws — mass — awareness.
Answer:
Safe Drive, Save Life
Reckless driving is one of the major causes of road accidents. Car drivers often refuse to obey traffic rules. Bike riders without helmets enjoy riding. The drivers of the four-wheelers hardly use seatbelts. Parking cars here and there is another problem.
The street signals are not also carefully minded. Overtaking occurs often. All this contributes to the alarming rise of accidents. Hence the State Government has launched the’Safe Drive, Save Life’ campaign with all seriousness.
Schools, colleges, and universities are requested to campaign this to make all aware of rash driving. Law alone can’t put an end to the nuisance. Mass awareness is to be roused. We are to keep in mind that the roads are meant for all. We have no right to take away the lives of others as well as of ourselves.
Question 25. Write a paragraph (within 1 00 words) using the given points on “Students and Social Service”: Points: Society gives everything – students should do for society – duty for poor illiterate – night class – help the sick – create fellow feelings.

Work done selflessly to society is social service. Students are part and parcel of society. They are the future citizens of the country. In fact, they are the hopes of the country. Society helps them to bloom.
So, they have duties toward society. They have no narrowness. They are also energetic. During their vacations, they may go to the villages.
They can also go to the slums or to the tribal areas to educate poor people and teach those people the rules of health and sanitation. They can take an active part in mass literacy campaigns.
During natural calamities like drought, flood, or earthquake they can help the victims. They can also help to construct or repair roads, clean the locality and help the old and infirm. Social service makes the students honest, sincere
and active.
