Respected sir

I shall feel grateful if you publish my views in the columns of your esteemed paper.

Begging is an evil. It is a blot on the fair name of our country. Beggars can be seen
everywhere. Most of the beggars are able-bodied. They can easily do work. They spend this
money on drinking and gambling.

I request the government to look into the problem seriously. The evil of begging must be
ended.

Yours sincerely

 COMPREHENSION
One evening a boy of eight was out for a walk with his father. There was also
an elderly man with his father. Chatting they walked on and went beyond the
village. The green crops delighted their eyes. The elders were walking along
the edge of a field. Not hearing the footsteps of the boy, the father looked
back. The boy was sitting on the ground and seemed to be planting something.
The father became curious. “What are you doing?” said he. “Look father I shall
grow guns all over the field,” was the innocent reply of the boy. His eyes
shone with the strong faith that guns would grow in the field. Both the elders
were struck with wonder at the little boy’s words. The boy was Bhagat Singh
who later fought like a hero for India’s freedom and sacrificed his life.

Dr C.V. Raman was a genius who won the Nobel Prize for Physics, using simple
equipment barely worth Rs.300. He was the first Asian scientist to win the
Nobel Prize. He was a man of boundless curiosity and a lively sense of humour.
His spirit of enquiry and devotion to science laid the foundation for scientific
research in India. And he won honour s a scientist, and affection as a teacher
and a man. Raman was studious. He kept in touch with the latest developments
in science in the world around him. He had personal contacts with many
scientists. He used to read new books and research papers from different
centres. “The equipment which brought me the Nobel Prize did not cost more
than three hundred rupees. A table drawer can hold all my research
equipment,” he used to say with pride. It was his conviction that if the research
worker is not inspired from within, no amount of money can bring him or her
success in research.

Early rising leads to health and happiness. The man who rises late can have
little rest in the course of the day. Anyone who lies late in bed is compelled to
work till late hours in the evening. He has to go without the evening exercise
which is so necessary for his health. In spite of all his efforts, his work will not
produce as good results as that of an early riser. The reason for this is that he
cannot take advantage of the refreshing morning hours. Some people say that
the quiet hours of midnight are the best time for working. Several great
thinkers say that they can write best only when they burn the midnight oil. Yet
it is true to say that few men can have a clear brain at midnight when the body
needs rest and sleep. Those who work at that time soon ruin their health. Bad
health must, in long run, have a bad effect on the quality of their work.

Answer the following questions briefly:

(a) What leads to health and happiness?
(b) What is a late riser compelled to do?

Each one of us should have a hobby. Sometimes boys and girls are
encouraged in schools to take up hobbies. They work at certain things in
schools such as collecting stamps, or carpentry, but this so-called hobby is a
thing for schools only. They do not pay any attention to it at their homes.
Sometimes this is because of poverty, sometimes because of lack of interest.
But a hobby is not really a hobby unless we are so interested in it that we want
to carry it whenever we have spare time. According to the dictionary, a hobby
is a favourite subject or occupation that is not one’s main business. It is
something in which we are more interested than in anything else.

Answer the following questions:

(a) What is the dictionary meaning of a hobby?
(b) When does a hobby become a thing for schools only?

In bulk doth make man better be;
Or standing long an oak, three hundred year,
To fall a log at last, dry, bald, and sere.

And in short measures life may perfect be.

The sure way of making and keeping good friends is to be a good listener.
Take care to listen to the person with interest. Also make sure that when you
speak yourself, you say as much as is needed to open up some fresh topic for
the other person to start conversation. People do not like to be interrepted by
others while speaking. Most of the friendships begin by little acts of kindness,
sympathy and understanding to lonely folk. Sincerity is the keynote of
friendship. Sincerity includes loyalty, sympathy and trust. A common interest
will draw you very close to someone.
