C. 2. Group Discussion
Question 1.
The villages are no longer beautiful and peaceful. Discuss.
Answer:
It is said that life in a village is simple, pure and natural. There is nothing mechanical or artificial there. There are large tracts of land open countryside, green fields on all sides, wealth of trees and open air and bright in the sunshine. There is no din and noise. Life is quiet. There is peace.
But villages are no longer beautiful and peaceful. Quarrels and blood-sheds are a common feature of village life. Drinking, smoking, and gambling also go on in one form or the other. Disruptive forces are at large and they end their anger in the villages. The monster of ‘ugra bad’ or extremism has spread its horrible claws in each and every comer of the villages. It simply displays the ugly fact that villagers are living in barbaric age. Extremists hate
negotiations. They cannot sit and talk peacefully. The way to force government to concede their demands. Thus extremists strike at the very roots of democracy. They are anti-people and anti-progress. They attack villagers, they kill people mercilessly.
Thus it is clear that villagers are no longer beautiful and peaceful.
Question 2.
Write a paragraph on the trees that are found in your village.
Answer:
The Trees
My village has six or seven mango orchards but they had been planted long ago. Bur of all the unplanted trees, the banyan is unique. There are eight banyan trees in my village. They arc unique, not only for the manner of their growth but for the area of shade they provide from the burning sun. Their close relationship with man has evolved over the years to make the banyan a popular meeting place, a focal point of worship and a source of practical materials for commerce.
As the banyan grows, it sends aerial roots down the trunk of the supporting tree. The Indian banyan is one of the world’s largest tropical trees Banyan trees of my village are homes of various birds.
C. 3. Composition
Question 1.
You spent your summer vacation at a village. Write about the things you enjoyed there to a friend.
Answer:
The school closed for eight weeks’ summer vacation from 23rd of May. I heaved a sigh of relief. I went to my friend’s village and spent two weeks there. I had enjoyed my stay there. I was feeling quite at home.
There was no din and noise. Life is ever quiet and peaceful there. I got fresh air, all the twenty-four hours. Life is simple and free from all restraint of society. I got a lot of pure, unadulterated milk and butter. Vegetables and fruits were also available there. The village is surrounded on all sides by green fields stretching over miles. The scenery on all sides is resplendent and park like. I found the village beaux and belles radiant with health. There were novices and no fashions of the modem civilization. The villagers live nearer to Nature and God.
I liked to roam about the fields and enjoy Nature’s fresh air. There was no smoke and no foul smell. I felt stronger and healthier. I liked the place very much.
Question 2.
Towns are important for the progress of civilization. Discuss.
Answer:
Before discussing that towns are important for the progress of civilization, we should first know what civilization is.
Civilization is the sum total of the higher activities performed by mankind up to our own age. Safety and order are two necessary facto > for the progress of any civilization.
In town, people are using different machines for their comfort. Here are people who are engaged in inventing machines. Scientists are busy in finding more and more things. They are making machines which are our extra limbs. Here men are restless and energetic to find out something. Now-a-days machines have become tools of civilization. Modem men have better medical facilities, They lead healthier and longer lives than in the past. In town by making more, beautiful things, finding out more and more about the mysterious universe; removing the causes of conflicts and quarrels between nations, discovering new methods of preventing poverty, human beings can make their civilization great and most lasting. These are the ways for the progress of civilization.
