Low-lying flat surfaces with very gentle slopes are called plains. Some plains are extremely level, while others have an undulating (wavelike) surface.

Most plains have been formed by rivers and their tributaries. (A tributary is a river flowing into a larger river.) The rivers which flow down mountains and plateaus wash away some material from the mountains and plateaus. When the rivers reach gentler slopes, they slow down and the material they carry gets deposited on the plains. The deposited material, comprising sand, silt and clay, is called alluvium.

(v) Work is Worship

Ans- 5.                                               (i) The Rainy Season

There are six seasons in India. Rainy season is most important season in all the seasons. In summer, we have to bear the unbearable hot weather due to the scorching rays of the sun. The water level goes down and all living being become rasters due to the hot wind blowing all the day round. Everybody feels relief with the coming of rainy season. Ponds, wells and rivers become full with rainwater. Farmers starts to cultivate their fields. Trees come back to life. The air is filled with new vigour and strength. Everything look fresh and healthy during this season. It provides us different types of food grains, vegetables and fruits. Thus, rainy season plays a dominant role in fulfilling our food-items. As such every body awaits this season to come.

                                                          (ii) Pollution

Pollution is the biggest problem facing the modern man. All advancement becomes useless if man does not get the very basic necessity of life. That is fresh air. And only trees can do this service to man. Unluckily man, in his ignorance has so far been destroying this wealth. In fact, he has been digging his own grave. Only recently governments become aware of the gravity of this problem various steps have been taken to keep the environment free from pollution.

Thus she can keep him away from various vices. Besides this as a mother also an educated wife, is very useful. She can teach many things to her children. She can give them elementary education she would be able to make them good citizens.

We saw subject books, cookery book, comic books, Autobiography, Biography, Novels, Magazines, books of Astrology and many more. Different books are written by different writers. I bought few story books. There was a stage where folk dance was being performed. There were also some stalls selling food items. Finally we returned from the book fair.

                                                         (v) Work is Worship

Work is worship. Laziness and dullness are the curse of life. The whole civilization of man has evolved itself only through hard work. All the inventions and discoveries of science are the result of hard work. Regular hard work, progressively improving upon its own findings, has enabled man to reach and walk on the moon. A student who works regularly and systematically shows better results than the one who does not do so. In the same way, a player who practices on a regular basis on the field is much better than the one who does not. Great nations of the world like Japan, Germany and China have emerged strong only through hard work.

My dear father,

I received your kind letter just now and noted its content. You have instructed me to labour hard towards my studies. I assure you to follow your direction.

Last week, some of the students of our class planned a trip to Golghar. We took the bus and went to Patna, where Golghar is situated. The Golghar was constructed by Captain John Garstin, in 1786 for storing food grain for the British army. It is a huge pillarless structure. There are steps to climb to the top of Golghar. We can see a large part of Patna from the top of Golghar. It is a famous tourist spot. We enjoyed this trip to Golghar very much.

     With best regards.

Sir

I am a student of X(A). My father is a petty shopkeeper and his monthly income is less than Rs. 3000/- a month. He has to support a family consisting of 8 members, two of whom are at school and one at college. He can hardly make both ends meet. He is face to face with poverty and want.

So, I request you most respectfully to favour me a help from poor boys fund. So that I may continue my studies.

                                                                                                                              Your most obedient pupil

Ans- Honourable Principal, respected teachers and dear friends.

I am Poonam Yadav of class X. Today the topic of my speech is ‘How students can become ecology-friendly’. We have some simple tips that everyone can apply to his life to help protect the environment and save money at the same time. We must turn off our lights and televisions when we leave a room. We can start. recycling plastics bottles. We can also recycle paper, like newspapers. To become environmentally friendly, we must plant trees. Buying locally grown food will support the local market and reduce transportation costs to transport goods from other states or countries. Making gradual rather than rapid changes can often lead to sticking with those changes for longer time. Let’s all become environment friendly !
