आराम हराम है
Answer:
‘आराम हराम है।’ यह नारा देश के पहले प्रधानमंत्री पं. जवाहरलाल नेहरू ने दिया था। नेहरू जी ने यह नारा उस समय दिया था, जब देश स्वतंत्र हुआ था। आलस करना या अत्यधिक आराम करना हमारे लिए नुकसानदेह हो सकता है। परीक्षा का समय हो, तो डटकर पढ़ाई करनी चाहिए। किसी प्रकार की प्रतियोगिता हो, तो उसकी तैयारी करनी चाहिए। सोचो यदि हम परीक्षा की तैयारी करने के बजाय आराम करते हैं, तो परीक्षा में असफल भी हो सकते हैं। हम छोटे से जीव चींटी से भी परिश्रम की सीख ले सकते हैं। वह दिन-रात मेहनत कर अपना भोजन इकट्ठा करती है और बरसात के वक्त आराम से अपनी मेहनत का लाभ उठाती है।

Answer:

A/18 Deep Mahal,
Sahar Road,
Vile Parle (E),
Mumbai – 400 057,
15th August, 2016.

Dear Rajani,
Hi! Hope this letter finds you in good health and happiness. I am writing this . letter to express my concern about the fact that only the last 200 of the Great Indian Bustards are left in this world.

The animals, birds, insects, trees, rivers, seas and other elements of nature including man are all the part of a link which binds us together, and which keeps us going. It is high time we protect the Great Indian Bustard and other species which are on the verge of extinction.

How right are the words, “Let’s preserve nature, if not for anything else, For the beauty and strength it inspires!”
We can protect the birds by creating awareness through our school magazine. We can write letters to the government officials too. We can discuss this issue with the elders. We can ask our teacher to take us to sanctuaries to have a better understanding of the life of the Great Indian Bustard.

Let us remember: ‘The future lies in our hands. Let us conserve, preserve and protect all the elements of nature.’
Please think about the issue I shared with you.

Yours lovingly,
XYZ

Autobiography of a Great Indian Bustard Summary in English

In this lesson, the author acquaints us with the different physical characteristics of the Great Indian Bustard. He also talks about their habitat, their eating habits and other details, apart from providing information about their young ones.

He further elaborates that though it is the State Bird of Rajasthan and despite having ten sanctuaries for their protection, their number is on a decline.

Due to uncontrolled population explosion created by man, the Indian Bustards were being pushed away from more than 90 percent of their home regions.

There are other reasons for their decline in number like hunting, electric shock, loss of habitat etc. With the last 200 of the birds left in the world, the lesson reminds us that the birds need our love and support for their survival.

Write a letter to your friend who is friendless and all alone because your classmates consider her to be arrogant and proud.

A/1934 Prakruti Sadan,
Sahara Road,
Andheri (East),
Mumbai – 400 099
20th June, 2016.

Dear Rita,
I know it is funny writing to you! After all we meet in school everyday.
I am writing this letter as a continuation of the conversation we had yesterday, wherein you said you were depressed because not many in the class are friendly to you.
Dear friend, remember the real reason lies in your nature. Not to me, but to many, you appear as a person filled with excessive pride. I know they are wrong, but at the same time it is important to come across as a friendly and approachable person.
The way we deal with people and our choice of words, all contribute towards our acceptance by others.
Please don’t misunderstand me, but your words and your actions sometimes forces others to conclude that you are an extremely arrogant and proud girl. So, one way to make more friends is to change your nature.
Remember, I am and will always be your friend.
With love.

Your friend,
XYZ

The Peacock and the Crane Summary in English

The peacock boasted of having the most gorgeous tail, which shine in all colours of the rainbow, but that too has its own limitations.
The crane possessed colourless and dull feathers, but he was not affected by the peacock’s display of its colourful tail. He was fully aware of its inner potential and what he was capable of. Unlike the peacock, he could fly high above, among the clouds and stars and witness the beauty of the earth in all its splendour.

Introduction:

“The Peacock and the Crane’ through the character of a proud peacock conveys the moral: ‘Fine feathers don’t make fine birds’. In other words, our external appearance has no value if we lack beauty and strength within.

Aware of his blessings, he could happily take the peacock’s criticism in his stride.
Let us remember to develop our self-esteem and self-confidence by understanding that it is not how we look, but what we are capable of, which makes all the difference.

Glossary:

1. conceited (adj) – very proud, vain, arrogant
2. gorgeous (adj) – beautiful, magnificent, stunning
3. scoffed (v) – laughed at rudely and scornfully
4. dull, pale (adj) – not bright
5. glory (n) – beauty and splendour
6. fine feathers don’t make fine birds (phr) – good looks or flashy clothes may not be very important after all.
7. pompous (adj) – exhibiting self-importance

प्लास्टिक, थर्माकोल आदि प्रदूषण बढ़ाने वाले घटकों का उपयोग हानिकारक है।
Answer:
प्लास्टिक व थर्माकोल जैसे घटक आसानी से नष्ट नहीं होते हैं। इन्हें जलाने पर भी पर्यावरण बहुत प्रदूषित होता है। यदि खुले में घूमने वाले जानवर गलती से इन्हें निगल लेते हैं तो उनकी मौत भी हो सकती है। वर्षा ऋतु में नालों व गटरों के जाम होने की घटना हमें प्राय: देखने व सुनने को मिलती है। इसका मुख्य कारण भी प्लास्टिक व थर्माकोल जैसे घटक ही हैं। हर प्रकार से इनका उपयोग पर्यावरण के लिए हानिकारक है। अत: पर्यावरण को बचाने के लिए हमारी यह जिम्मेदारी बनती है कि हम इनका उपयोग न करें और दूसरों को भी इसके दुष्पपरिणामों के प्रति जागरूक करें।

विचार मंथन: 

“हवा प्रकृति का उपहार है, यही जीवन का आधार है।
Answer:
हम सभी श्वास लेते हैं और श्वास छोड़ते हैं। हम श्वास के रूप में ऑक्सीजन ग्रहण करते हैं और श्वास कार्बन डाय आक्साइड के रूप में छोड़ते हैं। पेड़ पौधे कार्बन डाय आक्साइड को पुन: ऑक्सीजन बनाते हैं। इस प्रकार हम ऑक्सीजन के बिना जीवित नहीं रह सकते हैं।
