4. On Rainwater Harvesting! Meaning of Rain Water Harvesting: Rain Water Harvesting as a method of utilizing rain water for domestic and agricultural use is already widely used throughout the world. It is a method which has been used since ancient times and is increasingly being accepted as a practical method of providing potable water in development projects throughout the world. It has wide application also in urban and semi -urban areas where the reliability and quality of piped water is increasingly being questioned. For centuries the world has relied upon rainwater harvesting to supply water for household, landscape, and agricultural uses. Before city water systems were developed rainwater was collected (mostly from roofs) and stored in cisterns or storage tanks.

Benefit of save rain water Water is the most precious gift to the humanity by the nature. Life on the earth is possible only because of water. Three-fourth surface of the earth is covered by the water even after people are suffering from water scarcity in many regions of the India and other countries.



Difficulties faced by the people in various regions because of water scarcity teach us to conserve and save water in order to protect the water environment, save life and save world. Importance of water in our life Water is the most essential source of life on the earth as we need water in every walk of life like drinking, cooking, bathing, washing, growing crops, plants, etc. We should save water for proper supply of water to future generations without contaminating it. We should stop misusing water, manage water usage properly, and maintain the quality of water.

5. Importance of Time

Value of Time

Reference – Time is said to be eternal. It is said that it has neither a

beginning nor an end. Yet men are able to measure it as years, months, days, hours, minutes and seconds. They have also given meanings to the words – past, present and future. True, time has a meaning. It moves. What was yesterday is not today. What is today will not be tomorrow. Yesterday is gone. Today is and tomorrow is yet to come. Yet time is said to have no holiday. It exists always.

Value of Time in our life The entire creation moves on according to a time pattern. There is

birth, growth and death. There is time for everything. Plants flower and give fruits. Seasons come according to time. A child is born, grows into boyhood, adolescence, youth, middle age and old age according to age and time. Time is a free force. It does not wait for any one. It is commonly said that time and tide waits for no man. Time is money. A minute not usefully spent is an eternal loss. You can never get back the lost minute. One has to strike the iron when it is hot. The time flies and never returns. If you waste time it wastes you.

Those who do not know the importance of time, waste it or rather they spend it doing nothing. There is a proverb which says that killing time is not a murder; it is a suicide. It means, by wasting time one is not harming others. On the other hand one is harming himself. Ordinary



people merely go on thinking how to spend their time. The wise and talented make use of it fruitfully. Some people always complain that there is no time for them to do anything. That is not correct. If one wisely plans his activities, there will be time for everything happening according to time. A man who is a part of nature cannot complain against time. Time is powerful. It conquers all. Men are only to obey it. Man cannot say that he has nothing of his own. Time which is valuable is all his own.

6. Road Accident

Once, my brother and I decided to see a film at Golcha cinema at

Daryaganj in Delhi. As we were getting late for the show, we began

walking faster along the crowded road. All of a sudden there was a

loud noise. I saw a man rolling on the ground He was knocked

down by a car. The driver was driving it at a normal speed. He saw

a lorry coming from the opposite direction It was being driven

rashly. The car driver feared a collision. He tried to turn the vehicle

aside, but his clutch wire broke and the machine got out of his

control. It ran into a passerby and hit the pavement.

The man was seriously wounded. He sustained injuries on the head

and face. His nose was bleeding and his leg was badly bruised.

A crowd gathered on the spot. The wounded man was removed to a

nearby hospital. Some people started abusing and hitting the car

driver. Someone tried to convince them that it was not his fault. It

was just an accident.

Luckily the victim was declared out of danger. His wounds were

dressed and he was advised to rest in bed to get over the shock.

The police also arrived at the place of accident. The car driver and

the lorry driver were taken to the police station. Their statements

were recorded. The car driver was let off but the lorry driver

detained



7. On Blood Donation Camp

A blood donation camp was organized in our school last

Sunday. It was held in the school hall. All the preparations such as

arrangement of beds, sanitation etc were made. A team of doctors

and nurses from the local Govt hospital had reached in time. The

Chief Guest of the Camp was the SDO of the city. He inaugurated

the Camp by cutting the ribbon. The students of our schools and the

other schools besides the people of the city were participating in the

camp. I was also enthusiastic for donating my blood. I was laid to

bed with a soft ball in my hand. Then the process of extracting the

blood off my body started. There were also very prominent people

of the city who were there to donate blood. The Blood Donation

Camp continued till 3:0 pm. After that, the Chief Guest delivered

the speech extolling those who had donated their blood. He told the

audience that the donated blood would be used for saving the lives

of the injured and the sick. One of the doctors also addressed the

audience saying that the blood donation does not weaken the the

donators. The SDM also handed over the Certificates to the blood

donators. It was followed by a Cultural Programme. The students of

our school presented the cultural items. Everybody enjoyed that.

The Blood Donation Camp was ended with National Anthem. It

was certainly a memorable day for me. I along with other people

decided to donate blood in future also.

3. Pollution

Reference As we know that today pollution is one of the biggest

challenge before the whole world. Not only India but also the

whole world is facing the problem of pollution. Governments are

taking major step to solve this problem.

Definition The addition of any harmful element into water, air

and the level of unwanted sound called the pollution.

Kind of pollution :-

There are three kinds of pollution —

- Water Pollution

- Air pollution

- Sound pollution

Water Pollution

There is 70% water on the Earth but less than 3% water is only to

drinkable on surface as rivers, lakes, ponds and underground

water. Waste material of industries, city rubbish are thrown into

rivers. In this way surface water is polluted. It can be prevented

by education and strict laws.

Air Pollution

Air pollution is caused by smoke. Chimneys of mills and factories

and vehicles throw out smoke. Smoke mixes up with air and the

result is air pollution.

Sound Pollution

The 80 decibel above sound or level of unwanted sound in

environment is a kind of noise pollution. The cause of noise

pollution are loud speaker, machinery and vehicles.

We can control the pollution’s problem by education, people’s

awareness and the strict laws because man’s activities and

interference with nature causes pollution.

much economical in the consumption of water. We should

conserve water. We should make full use of rain water. It

shouldnot be allowed to be flowed away. ‘Rain water harvesting’

I – TYPE PASSAGES [WORD LIMIT --- 150 WORDS]

Passage – 1 We sometimes think that it would be very nice to have no work to do How we envy rich people who do not have to work for their living but can do just what they please all the year round. Yet when we feel like this we make a mistake. Sometimes rich people are not as happy as we think they are, because they are tired of having nothing to do. Most of us are happy when we have regular work to do for our living, specially if he work is what we like to do. The first think work does for us is to give us happiness. He is like a beggar in the streets who take the money of others who work hard to earn it. Such people do not live independently and ought to feel ashamed of the mselves. But the honest worker who earns his living by useful toil can hold up his head and respect himself. Lastly regular work builds up character. It teaches us such good habits as punctuality, carefulness, thoroughness and faithfulness in work. It is the man who works, not the idler, who as a rule develops the best character.

1 Why do we envy rich people? 2 Why are rich people not so happy as we think? 3 What does regular work give us? 4 What kinds of people have been compared to beggars? 5 How can an honest man earn respect in society? 6 Write the word from the passage which means ‘a person who

does not work’. 7 Write the word from the passage which means ‘hard unpleasant work’.

Passage – 2 Your behavior is the key to your success. Well behaved persons are always well-known in society. A polite teacher can create interest in students to learn more and more. The students also listen to him very carefully and they find his teaching very interesting and easy. The smiling face of a doctor increases the healing ability in the patients and makes a rapid recovery in them. His behavior helps them more than medicines. The patients feel much better in his presence. Such a doctor is always successful in his profession. A well-behaved officer is always popular



among the subordinates. His soft voice inspires the clerks to work well. He always gets his work done in time.

1 What is the importance of one’s behaviour individually and socially? 2 What can a polite teacher achieve? 3 How do patients feel in the presence of a well-behaved doctor? 4 What inspires the clerks to work sincerely? 5 How is a well behaved officer benefited in his office? 6 Find out from the passage the word which means ‘pesonnels with

less authority than somebody else in an organization’. 7 Give from the passage the word which is opposite of ‘failure’.

Passage – 3

Books are the chief carriers of civilization; because of the, ideas live and spread. How important books are, you can judge from the fact that very hot countries as it is well-known, are slow in becoming civilized in the modern sense. There are many reasons for this, but one of the most important is that the white ants which live in tropics, eat up all the books. For example, in tropical South America, there are practically no books, more than forty years of fifty years old. Where there are no books, there are no records and no literature; the ideas and knowledge of one generation can only be handed down by word of mouth, and it is much more difficult for the race to progress and become civilized. But it is not use having books unless people can read the, and learning to read is a part of what is called education.

1 How are books important as chief carriers of civilization? 2 Why are very hot countries slow in becoming civilized? 3 Why are there no old books in South America? 4 How does the lack of books affect the progress of civilization? 5 Is it enough to have books for becoming civilized? 6 Find out from the passage the word which means ‘pieces of

writing valued as works of art’. 7 Pick out from the passage the word which is opposite of

‘ignorance’.

Even today in the materialistic world, it is honesty, sincerity and integrity which paves the way for future success and pays much in the long run. Though for the time being dishonesty, unfairness and black-marketing lead to huge profits yet after some time the evils recoil upon the doer. So character is the solid basis of success even in trade and commerce. Honest and fair dealings in business always lead to contentment, success and prosperity. In foreign countries great stress is laid on the dictum of honesty and as such they have made remarkable progress in the field of trade and commerce. Unfortunately due to slavery, we have lost our morale and as such try o adopt dishonest and unfair means even



business.l We never think the good of our customers or dealers and as such fail to prosper in business. Now in our free country, it is our pious duty to maintain high standard of morality and avoid dishonesty and unfair means, to achieve a nobler aim. A successful businessman should have a high code of morals and always strive for fairness and goodness, nobility and honesty,. He should not cheat his customers by bogus and absurd things. His dealings should be frank, straight forward and honest.

of opinion’. Passage – 7

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS TO THE EXAMINEES :

3) This paper is divided into three section A, B and C . SECTION – A ( READING) Q. 1 Read the given passage and answer the following question that

follow ; 7 X 1 = 7

WE all travel by public transport, train or bus and have had many bitter

and sad experiences. Orderly queue system at the time of either

purchasing the tickets or boarding the train/bus is rarely followed.

Everyone in his self-interest flouts the genuine rights of others. Those

who are already occupying a seat would very reluctantly permit others to

sit even on the neighbouring vacant seat. When they do so they grab

about half of that vacant seat also. The thought of giving help to other

needy ones rarely stirs them.

Some people are fond of chewing betels with tobacco. They spit

and spit frequently all around showing no respect for public property.

They forget that they have paid for journey and not for spoiling the



train/bus. They throw all rubbish and leftovers wherever they so desire.

Our public transport, our roads and streets, our public places and

buildings are seen littered with all sorts of stinking refuse that tells upon

our health and vigour.

In spite of the statutory warning “Smoking is injurious to health”

we do not notice any slump in the sale of cigarettes or bidis. The pity is

the smokers in their own enjoyment do not think of the people around

them. Sometimes the surroundings become unfit for breathing. Passive

smoking causes more harm.

transport?

(iii) What are our public places and facilities littered with ?

follow : 7 X 1 = 7

You are still young but as you grow older you will realise how

inwardly man goes through hell, goes through great misery, because he

is in constant battle with himself, with his wife, with his children, with his

neighbours, with his gods. He is in sorrow and confusion and there is no

love, no kindliness, no generosity, no generosity and no charity. And a

person may have a Ph. D. after his name or he may become a

businessman with houses and cars but if he has no love, no affection,

kindliness, no affection, kindliness, no consideration, he is really worse

than an animal because he contributes to a world that is destructive.



So, while you are young, you have to know all these things. You

have to be shown all these things. You have to be exposed to all these

things so that your mind begins to think. Otherwise you will become like

the rest of the world. And without love, without affection, without

charity and generosity, life becomes a terrible business. That is why one

has to look into all these problems of violence. Not to understand

violence is to be really ignorant, is to be without intelligence and without

culture.

(i) What will you realise as you grow older?

(ii) Who is worse than an animal ?

(iii) When does life become a terrible business ?
