1. Read the following passage carefully and answer the questions given below in your own words:
Mass copying in the examination has reduced education to a joke. The lengthy courses of study and the system of annual examinations are the root causes of it. How is it possible for any human being to express honestly within three hours all that he has learnt in full one year? Naturally, students are forced to cram certain things and copy others from some source in the examination hall. Examinations, more or less in the form of class tests at the end of a quarter should be held. The result of a student should be determined by his performance round the year. The class teacher should be entrusted with the difficult task. He will have to rise above petty worldly considerations and must be brave and impartial. His role in this connection is very significant.

Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi, popularly known as ‘Bapu’, chose truth and non-violence as his chief weapons to use against the English rule in India. India’s independence is largely due to Gandhi’s peaceful battle and bloodless revolution. Experience of his struggle and achievements can be found in his monumental autobiography ‘The Story of My Experiments with Truth’. During the freedom movement, Gandhi needed the active participation of students in his battle for freedom. He, while, addressing them, made them realise that the majority of them did not have the sense of responsibility. But for this lack of direction and duty in their character, they were not to be held responsible. It was the faulty English education which had made them selfish. Through ‘What students can do’, Gandhi wants the students to serve the country. This they can do only if they have ‘Purity of personal life, the one indispensable condition for building sound education’. To him, the end of all knowledge must be building up of character.

A village fair is almost like a periodical market. Most of the villages are far from towns. So, the village fair serves the needs of villagers. It is generally held in a big spacious place outside a village. A central site is chosen so that other neighbouring villages may not be very far from it. Stalls which are temporarily erected are arranged in rows. Shopkeepers from towns and villages hire those stalls. They bring various kinds of things for display and sale. Vast crowds gather to see and buy things. The cinema, circus, magic shows, etc., visit these village fairs to entertain the crowd. A fair is a place where villagers meet their friends and relatives.

Teacher’s day in India is celebrated every year on 5th of September to honour the contributions of the teachers in our study, society and country.

He was highly devoted towards education and well known as the scholars, President of India and most importantly a teacher.

Most of the parents in rural areas are now seem to be convinced in sending their girl child to school, but it is important that girls finish all necessary levels of education, learn extra skills and competencies for showcasing same level of competitiveness in the labour market. Education helps shape independent thinking of girls so as to enable them take decisions of their lives on their own and differentiate between right and wrong so that they are able to contribute towards societal development.
(iv) The Independence Day
India became a free country on 15th August, 1947. So, 15th August is called the Independence Day of India. The British rule came to an end on this day. It is a red letter day in the history of the country. It is celebrated all over the country with great enthusiasm. On this day all schools, colleges and offices remain closed. It is a national holiday. Public meetings are held in all towns and cities. A big function is held in Delhi. The Prime Minister unfurls the national flag at the Red Fort.

Q- 10. Write a speech in about 60-100 words on the ‘The main causes of childhood obesity’.
Ans– Honourable Principal, respected teachers and my dear friends.
Today, I will discuss the two main causes of childhood obesity: eating too much and exercising too little. Eating too much has commonly been recognised as a major culprit. Many children are eating excessively and not burning those extra calories.
Obesity is most common in industrialised countries where most fast food is consumed. Exercising too little has become a plague in India and a sedentary lifestyle has led to accumulation of ‘extra fat’ in the body. In conclusion, there are many causes of EXO childhood obesity. The main causes of childhood obesity are simply eating too much and exercising too little.
Thank you.
