About the insanitary conditions of our locality.
Sir,
I
would like to draw your immediate attention to the insanitary condition of the
locality we live in. The street is thickly populated. Heaps of refuse and
rubbish are allowed to lie for many days with the result that they give out
foul smell. The dirt and filth lying around are great nuisance to the
passers-by. The drains are seldom cleaned and washed. There are regular pits on
the street and water collect there. They become good breeding grounds for
mosquitoes.
The
matter was brought to the notice of the Sanitary Inspector, but he has not paid
any attention to our complaint. I hope you will kindly look into the matter
personally and will redress our grievances.
Thanking
you in anticipation.
Yours
faithfully,
Satish

Student
Life or, An Ideal Student
Student
life is one of the most important part of the life of a person. An Ideal
student should try to form good habits. He must learn good manners. He has to
be kind, gentle and polite. Student life is a happy period of life. It is a
life of freedom. But an ideal student uses this time in a better way. He has to
develop his body, mind and soul. He has to be hardworking. He should not be

future. He has to be a good citizen.
Importance
of Trees
Trees
play a vital role in maintaining the ecological balance in nature. During the
day, trees inhale carbon dioxide from the air and exhale oxygen which we in tum
breathe in. Trees provide relief from the scorching heat by providing shade to
birds, animals and men, and certain birds and animals make their homes in the
branches of trees. They also prevent soil erosion and help in cleansing the
atmosphere of pollution. So, it should be our sincere duty to help in the
conservation of trees.
Q. 49. How would the baker come everyday? Why did the children
run to meet him?
or, How did the baker make his presence in the morning? What did
the baker wear in the days when the author was a child?
Ans.
The baker came with the jhang-jhang sound of his bamboo stick. He carried his
basket on his head, supporting it with one hand. With the other hand, he would
bang the bamboo on the ground. Thus everyone would come to know of his arrival.
He would greet with 'Good morning and place the basket on the vertical bamboo.
The
baker then wore a shirt and trousers. These trousers were shorter than the
full-length trousers. But they were longer than half pants. They reached just
below the knees. Even today it is known as the dress of a pader.
All
children including the author eagerly awaited the arrival of baker to their
house. When the baker came with loaves of bread in his basket the children had
to be pushed away to take delivery. They would climb a bench or the parapet to
peep into the basket. They loved bread bangles. When they got their share, they
did not even care to brush their teeth or wash their mouths properly.
Q. 50. What legends did Rajvir tell about the discovery of tea?
or, What is the origin of tea as given in the chapter?

Rajvir told two legends 'about the discovery of tea. One was the Chinese legend
and the other was the Indian legend.
The
Chinese legend says that there was a Chinese emperor. He always boiled water
before drinking it. One day some twigs were burning under the pot A few leaves
from the twigs fell into the pot. They gave the water a delicious flavour. It
is said that those were tea-leaves.
According
to the Indian legend, there was a Buddhist ascetic named Bodhidharma. He often
felt sleepy during his meditations. To stop this, he cut off his eyelids. It is
said that ten tea plants grew out of the eyelids. The leaves of these plants
when put in hot water and drunk banished sleep.

lady. She wanted to become popular. She wanted to be loved by everyone. She
wanted to marry a man either rich or distinguished.
But

of her husband and parents. She was a sort tempered but tactful lady. She would
not like to miss a chance to become popular. She was honest too. So, she

Ans.
Griffin was a brilliant scientist. He carried several experiments related to
invisibility of human beings. At last he proved by his experiments that human
body could become transparent like a sheet of glass. Then he swallowed certain
rare drugs and he became invisible.
Griffin
was rather a lawless person. His landlord disliked him. So he set fire to the
house. He misused his discovery to rob and harm others. He was not a man of
loving nature. He disliked friendship. He refused the friendship of Mrs. Hall.
He robbed the clergyman. He became angry when someone disturbed him. He hit the
constable and other persons. He tried to terrify Mrs. Hall.too.
Hence
we can say that Griffin was a brilliant scientist, but he misused his
discovery. He was a lawless and criminal-minded person.

diability and mental infirmity (मानसिक कमजोरी) carefully. She made her feel at
home. She inspired her to get over her stammer. She treated her like her
daughter. She was her true guide and source of inspiration (प्रेरणा स्रोत). She
made her confident and bold. She enabled Bholi to face the challenges of life
fearlessly. She was a kind and considerate teacher. She was soft-spoken (मृदुभाषी).
She knew child psychology. She was friendly. We can conclude that the teacher
possessed all good qualities of a true teacher. She had a great role in
