WORKED-OUT EXAMPLES

Points- Introduction-writer of the book-story elementits impact upon you-conclusion

I have recently read ‘Koni’, a novel by Moti Nandi. It is an inspirational story of a swimmer called Koni and her coach Khidda. Koni’s original name is Kanakchampa Pal. Khidda’s original name is Khitish Sinha. Koni is a girl of a poor family living in a slum. Khidda is a ruthless but determined coach. He is determined to make Koni a champion. Koni fights all odds and fulfils her coach’s dream. This is actually a story of true determination and sportsman spirit. It shows that if anything is done passionately, success is sure to come. Besides, there is no alternative to hardwork. After reading Koni’s story, I also feel inspired. I have read the book many a time, but the book is yet to lose its charm.

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.

Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay is my favourite author. He is called the immortal artist of words in Bengali literature. Among his famous novels, I have read ‘Pather Dabi’, ‘Devdas’, ‘Griha Daha’, ‘Parineeta’ and obviously ‘Srikanta’. ‘Srikanta’ is his autobiographical novel. He wrote many stories like ‘Abhagir Swargo’, ‘Bindur Chhele’, ‘Ekadoshi Bairagi’, ‘Sati’, ‘Ramer Sumati’, ‘Lalu’, etc. I have read most of them. Sarat Chandra’s style of writing is very simple. Anybody can understand his works at one go. Besides writing in a lucid language, he wrote for the poor and the downtrodden. His books aim at becoming the voice of the voiceless multitude. Because of such style and purpose of writing, he attracts me most. I believe, Sarat Chandra’s works will remain in the list of the best sellers even in the ages to come.

Points- Meaning-different hobbies-your chosen onehow you engage yourself in this hobby-uses of your hobby-your feelings

A hobby is an activity that makes our leisure hours interesting and joyful. Different persons have different hobbies like collecting stamps, coins or antiques, photography, etc. But my hobby is gardening. It is cheap but educative. I enjoy seeing beautiful flowers, a green lawn and green plants at home. I have a small flower garden in front of our house. I visit my garden every day. I sow seeds, prune branches, dig the soil and water the plants. It gives me great pleasure to see the colourful variety of seasonal flowers blooming in full glory in my garden. I sometimes make a bouquet with them as a present on birthdays and anniversaries. I read many books on gardening to learn more about it. I feel proud when my friends admire my garden.

Points- Sweet home-cheerful atmosphere all facilitiesparents and sister-good healthy relation-ship-sharing of thoughts—helpful neighbours — your feelings

Home is where the heart is. One’s own home is always sweet to him. Home is the place where I can get away from the world and be myself. One loves to be at home in the comfort and care of loving family members. I live in a small flat but we have all the facilities within the four walls. I live here with my parents and sister. All of us have an open and warm relationship with each other. Our mornings are busy but from the evening we spend time together till we go to sleep. We share all that we experience throughout the day. The locality we live in is also quiet and trouble-free. The market and the bus-stand are just a stone’s throw from my home. The neighbours are also very helpful. My home is very important for me. It is the sweetest, the loveliest and the best place in the world.

Points- Your favourite subject-the reasons behind liking it—its importance the way you study this subject – how you want to utilise this subject in future

My favourite subject is English literature. Since my childhood, I have a great fascination for this. I always get good marks in English. My father always tries to guide me and help me learn the subject easily. English is all about learning grammar properly and reading books on several topics. It is an international language and very essential in the job market. Compared to other subjects like History, Geography and Bengali, it does not require much memorising. I practise grammar lessons to enrich myself and read different story books. English is one of the richest and finest languages of the world. I want to study English well and be a professor of English in future.

Points- A memorable day-first day at school years agoparents accompanying me-tense-entering school campus-many students-meeting headmaster -sitting in my class-slowly started sharing a word or two-early end of school-happy to see my parents waiting for me shared my experience

There are many memorable incidents in life which we can never forget. My first day at school is one such event. I can still remember the morning twelve years back when my parents woke me up and helped me to dress in my school uniform. I started for school with my parents with a throbbing heart. As I entered the school campus, I saw many boys and girls. After meeting the headmaster, I was taken to a classroom. There were many boys and girls of my age sitting on the benches. For some time I was nervous and frightened. Gradually I shared a word or two with other students. Then the teacher came and introduced herself to all of us. There were just four periods on the first day. As the closing bell rang, I found my parents waiting for me. I was really happy at the end of the day. I shared my experience with my parents on my way back home from school.

Points- Name of the town-location-population-main occupations-post offices, schools, colleges, banks, markets, temples-various problems also-your feeling

I live in the small town of Dakshineswar. It is situated in the district of North 24 Parganas. It is about 10 kms away from Kolkata. It is an old town on the river Hooghly. It is well connected with Kolkata by railways and bus routes. It has a population of about one lakh. Most people here are either servicemen or businessmen. We have all amenities in our town. There are four post offices, a number of primary schools, secondary schools and two colleges too. There are four banks, two hospitals, six market complexes and two cinema halls in our town. The town has many places worth seeing, like Dakshineswar Kalimandir, Adyapeath, etc. Festivals like Durga Puja, Kali Puja, etc. are celebrated with great enthusiasm. There are sufficient arrangements of games and sports in our town. But our town suffers from some problems like bad roads and improper drainage system. Despite these shortcomings our town is very dear to me.

Points- What you wish to be reasons for your choice how it will benefit your society-source of inspiration for your choice

An aimless person is like a ship without a rudder. I have already fixed my aim in life. I wish to become a teacher. The motto ‘plain living and high thinking’ inspires me to take up this noble profession. I want to be a teacher like my father. I am inspired by his way of spreading education sincerely. I am fully aware of the hardships of a teacher’s life. Still | want to be a teacher. I want to nurture the tender minds of the pupils. As a teacher I can help in widening their outlook on life. I will get immense satisfaction for doing valuable service to the country by producing better citizens. The company of young and unpolluted minds can even keep me ever-youthful. I know my profession is dignified and it will help me to get peace and contentment in life. I am studying hard to fulfil my dream.

Points- Your favourite festival-when how it is celebrated—its significance

In our drab and dull life, festivals add a new colour, develop a sense of togetherness and enthuse people. Among the festivals of Bengal, I like Durga Puja most of all. It is observed in autumn and is the greatest festival of the Bengalis Durga Ma is the epitome of power and peace. The festival lasts for four days and is celebrated with pomp and ceremony. People throng the well-decorated puja pandals in new clothes to get a glimpse of the idols. On the final or fourth day the idols are immersed in the river. We feel sad and wait eagerly for the next puja to come. The significance of a festival like Durga Puja is immense. The puja is the time for social get-togethers. Schools and colleges remain closed for many days during the puja. People of different religions join in this puja and a wonderful bond of amity and unity grows among all.

Points- Your favourite season-duration nature of itflowers and fruits—agricultural benefit-disadvantages, if any

The rainy season is my favourite season. After the tremendous heat of the summer, the rains come as a most welcome visitor. It stays during the months of July and August. During this season the sky remains overcast with clouds and sometimes it rains cats and dogs. Nature appears in full bloom. The plants look fresh and green. The frogs croak, the peacocks dance, the farmers smile and the children enjoy playing in the rain. For our country, it is the most important season as we depend so much on our agriculture. The farmers plough their fields and sow seeds of paddy, the main crop of West Bengal. But the season also causes disasters like floods. It brings misery to the people, especially the poor. Many diseases like cholera, malaria and diarrhoea break out. People living in cities and towns face problems due to waterlogging. Nevertheless, I like this season the most.

CHANGES IN NATURE WITH THE ARRIVAL OF SPRING

Points- Proverbs for value of time why time is important-health and wealth can be regained but not time-punctuality, a great virtue value of time in student’s life

Time and tide wait for none. It is a very popular proverb. Indeed time is fleeting. Time never stands still to oblige even the most powerful dictator on earth. So we must utilise every moment of life to make it fruitful. Losing precious hours of life’s formative years will lead to future repentance. Time is more valuable than health and wealth. We can regain our lost health and wealth but time once lost is lost forever. Work should be done at the earliest opportunity. A stitch in time saves nine. Punctuality is a virtue which makes one time-conscious. All successful persons are very conscious about time. Students must be time-conscious. A disciplined lifestyle helps in forming character. So we should all make the best use of time in our life.

Points- Education and sports related issues-help physical and mental growth of men-strong body and sound mind- develops team spirit, value of discipline and confidence source of enjoyment and recreation-role in student life

The aim of education is the overall development of a human being. It means the improvement of the mind as well as the body. Sports and games keep the body fit. Regular participation in games and sports provides exercise to muscles, improves blood circulation and digestion and increases lung capacity. Games strengthen the body as knowledge enriches the mind. Physical fitness through games and sports makes a person competent to face the dangers of life, increases confidence and makes one disciplined, courageous and tolerant. Sports and games also bring fame and reputation. Good sportspersons are respected wherever they go. Sports and games are an important means of enjoyment and recreation. We all know the proverb-‘All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy’. They refresh our minds and develop the spirit of fair play, sense of honour and responsibility. Only healthy students can become ideal citizens of a country.

Points- Get information of various events-broadens knowledge base-educational values-students must make a habit of reading newspapers-improves outlook on life great value-critic of administration, justice and law of any country-advocates liberty, equality and fraternity

The newspaper is the most powerful organ for 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 what not. The newspaper brings the news of events from different corners of the world into the cosy atmosphere of our drawing rooms. The newspaper extends the bounds of our knowledge. It has great educative value. Here we find the reviews of newly published books and accounts of discoveries and research. Students must read newspapers regularly. It enhances their reading habit and improves their vocabulary. Reading newspapers improves one’s outlook on life. Newspapers also help to express the grievances of the public and form public opinion.

Points- Meaning of holidays-why they are importantbreaks monotony-gives brain and body rest-need to utilize holidays-utilization varies-in modern busy life holidays are to be spent in the best way

Holidays were once holy days or days of worship. They have now come to mean days of rest, relaxation and recreation. Holidays are welcomed by all and sundry, specially the school and college students. But the question is-Are holidays a waste of time? No, of course not. ‘All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.’ Even a machine requires rest. We need holidays to break the monotony, to avoid strain on our bodies and to give our minds a welcome repose. It is imperative, however, to make the best use of holidays. We should try to refresh ourselves with outdoor games, picnics, short tours and excursions. The modern man is unable to enjoy leisure. He has no time to stand and stare. His life is full of worries. It is important to enjoy holidays so that life blossoms in all its colours and every human being tastes its beauty to the utmost.

People indulge in various kinds of recreation. Morning walk is the most rewarding of all. It helps us to be physically fit and mentally alert. The early hours of the morning is the best time to spend with nature. Nature is at her best in the morning. One can enjoy dewdrops on lush green grass, flowers in full bloom, the rising sun and the chirping of birds. Morning walk is a panacea for all ills. It enables us to breathe in pure oxygen. The air remains fresh in the early hours of the morning. The calm atmosphere in the morning soothes our nerves and minds. Morning walk is also good for people suffering from tension, heart diseases, diabetes and obesity. Morning walk promotes longevity.

Student life is the 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.

Points- Invention—great popularity source of entertainment -great educator-has certain abuses-makes one idle, unsocial, harms eyesight-conclusion

When John Baird invented the television, he had hardly imagined the scope of its use. Today television has gained immense popularity. As a source of entertainment the television has no parallel. It brings events from across the world into our drawing rooms. We can watch cricket and football matches, humorous events and reality shows, cartoons and movies sitting in the comfort of our home. Moreover, television is also one of the greatest educators. Programmes on current affairs, quiz, wildlife and different debate-based programmes are highly interesting. It helps us to broaden our knowledge. Television is not without its blemishes. Too much addiction to TV makes people gradually idle in their life. Such persons become highly unsocial. Students lose valuable time and tend to neglect their studies. Vulgar programmes affect tender and innocent minds. But an intelligent, careful and sensible use of television can be a blessing for us.

Points- Types of pollution-sources of air pollutionsources of sound and water pollution-results of pollution need to control

Pollution is one of the major global problems nowadays. It is one of the main products of industrialisation and urbanisation. There are mainly three kinds of pollution-air pollution, sound pollution and water pollution. Air is polluted by the smoke of vehicles and factories. Sound pollution is caused by the horns of vehicles, bursting of crackers and indiscriminate use of loudspeakers. Water pollution is the result of untreated sewage, pesticides and factory wastes. Deforestation is also a cause of pollution. Pollution causes many harmful diseases. Air pollution leads to diseases like T.B. and asthma. Sound pollution can make us deaf and cause nervous breakdown. Water pollution gives us skin diseases. Marine life is also affected creating a perilous situation for aquatic plants and animals. It is high time we control pollution and save our earth. Awareness among people should be spread. More trees need to be planted.
