Q1. Read the given extract and answer the following questions:-
Moving Away
Rohan and Rohit cannot believe that they have to move away from Bangalore. Bangalore is so fabulous! It’s so
wonderful. It’s always been their home. They can play outside all day long---everyday. It is almost always nice
and sunny, and all of their friends live. What will they do without Zahir, Raghav, Bunty and Vedant? They will
never be able to make such great friends again.
However, Rohan and Rohit are very excited for their dad. He has a fantastic new job. The only problem is that
the job is in a city way up in the mountains. In Shimla!
Shimla is the capital city of Himachal Pradesh. After learning that it is in Himachal Pradesh, near Chandigarh,
both boys are excited about playing in the snow in winters. Rohit has always wanted to learn to ski, and Rohan
thinks playing ice hockey will be great fun.
Rohan and Rohit also like the location of Shimla. Himachal Pradesh shares its borders with Punjab, Haryana
and Uttaranchal in the south and with Jammu and Kashmir in the north. The boys are keen to experience the
ride on the toy train that passes through 102 tunnels. Neither of the boys has ever visited this part of the country,
so they are looking forward to exploring the new place. If only their friends could come with them!
Their parents have promised that they can visit their old friends over the summer break and even
invite them over to Shimla. The boys think moving to Shimla will not be so bad after all.
