Lesson – 3
The Passing Away of Bapu
It was an agonising walk. Thousands silently watched the procession. Bapu lay on an open truck covered with flowers. Thousands of people wept, trying to touch Bapu’s feet. It was impossible to move in the thick crowd.
As I moved forward slowly I understood I was not merely in the midst of grieving people. This was even more than the funeral procession of India’s beloved leader. I was among people for whom walking with Bapu had a special meaning. We had walked with Bapu over the rough and smooth of India’s recent history. We could not now accept the fact that the man who had led us over many difficult paths, was never going to walk with us again. Bapu’s slight figure had walked, staff in hand, over a large part of India. To walk is to make slow progress. It is to think with clarity and closely look at all that is around you, from small insects to the horizon in the distance.

3. Read the following passage carefully answer the questions:
Scientists have recently reported that the polar ice caps are melting. This is due to a rise in temperatures known as the Greenhouse Effect. According to Melvin Calvin, who won the Nobel Prize for earlier research, carbon dioxide is given off when coal and oil are burnt. This gas accumulates in the atmosphere and causes temperature to rise. As a result, the ice covering the North and South poles melts and this may eventually lead to a rise in sea levels which could flood many areas of the world. Even if we take measures to stop the ice melting, it may take years to control the rise in sea levels.
Tropical Rain Forests, which took fifty million years to grow, are being reduced at the rate of fourteen acres per minute. The total area of the world’s desert is increasing every year. Many species of animals and plants are endangered with the threat of extinction.

(i) CO₂ is produced-
(a) by polar ice caps
(b) for burning oil and coal
(c) for temperature rise
(d) by torrential rain

(a) flood in many areas
(b) melting of polar ice
(c) tropical rain forest
(d) drought in many areas

Subject Advice to Stay Away from Excessive Use of Mobile and Social Media
Dear Friend,
I hope you are well. I am writing this letter to give you some friendly advice. Nowadays, I see that you are spending too much time on your Android phone and social media. It is not good for your health and studies.
Excessive use of mobile phones can harm your eyes and disturb your sleep. Social media can also distract you from your goals and waste your valuable time. Instead, you should focus more on your studies, read books, play outdoor games, and spend time with family.
I suggest that you limit your screen time and use your phone only when necessary. Try to develop good habits that will help you build a bright future.
I hope you will understand my concern and follow this advice.
Yours lovingly,
[Your Name]

The Most Memorable Day in My Life
The most memorable day in my life was my birthday last year. It was a very special and joyful day for me. My parents and friends planned a surprise party at home. The house was beautifully decorated with balloons and lights. I cut a delicious cake and everyone sang for me. I received many lovely gifts and blessings from my elders.
On that day, I played games with my friends and we enjoyed a lot together. I also helped my parents in arranging things and serving food to the guests. The happiness and love I received made me feel very special.
This day is memorable because it brought me closer to my family and friends, and filled my heart with joy and gratitude. I will always cherish those beautiful moments.
