You have read a little about English history and Indian history. But England is only a little island and India, though a big country, is only a small part of the earth’s surface.

Dear Nirufa,

          I am very happy because I got your letter yesterday. I am fine here. Today I am going to write to you about our village. The name of our village is Kashipur. It is a very small village. Most of the people in the village are farmers. The environment around our house is also very pleasant. The lotus in the pond, the marigold in the backyard, the beautiful nest of the tailorbird in the rows of palm trees, the call of the cuckoo in the spring, and the mango and jackfruit orchards make our home environment more beautiful. Hopefully one day you will come to visit our village. No more today. Convey my respect to your parents.

                                     Your loving friend

                                             Alisha

PROTECTION OF WILDLIFE 

Wildlife plays an important role in human and animal life. It is our duty to save and protect it. On this earth, the wildlife is equally important like human beings. But unfortunately, the wildlife on this earth is always in danger as we, the human being are destroying it regularly only to fulfill our personal needs. Many animals are on the verge of extinction due to the irresponsibility of man. Trees are vanishing from the earth daily. As a result of that, the ecosystem and the balance of nature is deteriorating. In India, the growth of population has caused a lot of damage to the wildlife. Though we have wildlife conservation laws in the country it has not reduced the destruction of wildlife as expected. People need to feel the importance of wildlife and try to protect it from being destroyed.

Read the following passage and answer the questionsthat follow:-

    I remember another funny incident about Bhola Grandpa related by my father. It had been a rainy afternoon. Bhola Grandpa, wild with excitement, told my father and his friends that he had seen a gang of pirates. They were buying a large box under one of the sand dunes on the seashore by our village. At once father and his friends started looking for the hidden treasure. Evening passed on to night. Moonlight came in through the clouds. A pack of jackals were howling. It was past midnight. At this point of time, Bhola Grandpa confessed that there was no real treasure. It was all a dream which he had during his midday nap.

   Once Bhola Grandpa had a great adventure in the Sunderbans. In those days Royal Bengal tigers freely roamed the dense jungles of the Sunderbans. People took care to move about only in groups, particularly after sundown.

   One evening, Bhola Grandpa Grandpa was returning from the weekly market. Suddenly at a distance of about five yards behind him, he heard the growl of a Royal Bengal tiger. Bhola Grandpa turned and found the bright gaze of the tiger on his face.

   Bhola Grandpa instantly climbed up a nearby banyan tree. The tiger roared and circled the tree about a hundred times. Then it settled down under a bush without taking its eyes off him. With nightfall, the forest grew dark and silent. Bhola Grandpa could hear the tiger beating its tail on the dry leaves. Hours passed.

Second of them painted a fruit and third artist painted a picture of curtain. During observation, it was found that the flower was so natural that a bee sat on it for honey. Fruit was so natural that an ox tried to eat. The judge praised all these things. Then he went and saw the curtain. It was so bealed that he tried to move it to enter the room.
