Answer:
Helen Keller was the first baby in the family. As a baby, she was eager and self-asserting. She was fond of imitating others. She could speak some words even when she was 6 months old. She was attracted by the beauty of nature. When she was 19 months old she became sick with fever and she lost eye-sight and hearing power forever. Her family was very unhappy thinking that their Helen would not see or hear anything again in her life. However, her mother comforted her by encouraging words. Slowly Helen Keller got used to the silence and darkness around. It was her teacher who freed her spirit. Helen then decided that the darkness would not take away her memories of green fields, luminous sky, trees and flowers. Helen Keller is a model for the disabled as she teaches hope and optimism even in the midst of extreme difficulties.

St. Mary’s School, Irinjalakuda English Club 18 September 2025 NOTICE One of the biggest problems students face today is their lack of interest in reading. They spend a lot of time with their mobile phone and laptops. Social media platforms like Instagram, Whatsapp, Face book, Twitter, etc. take up a lot of their time and reading is pushed back into a remote comer. It is not an exaggeration to say that the NewGen students have become allergic to books. Social media platform may be good for passing the time in an interesting manner but it is reading good books that will help students to develop mentally. All great people have spent a lot of their time with books. To tell the students about the importance of reading, the English Club of this School is organizing an Awareness Programme. The Programme starts with a meeting presided by the President of our Parents-Teachers’Association. The Chief Librarian of the Mahatma Gandhi Library Irinjalakuda will also speak on the occasion. Venue : SchoolAuditorium All are invited. Sd/ |

Dear Paramu,
Congrats dear Paramu! You really deserve it. I am glad to see that your determination and hard work have been well-rewarded. I’m really proud of you Paramu. When most of us were spending our valuable time looking into the social media platforms with trivial and tickling news and pictures, you were busy with your books and that is why you could come to the top of the class.
It was Dr. A.PJ. Abdulkalam who told us to dream and then work hard to realise those dreams. I am sure you have greater dreams and I wish you success.
Yours lovingly,
Joe

Kumaran : Puram is an annual temple festival. Sakthan Thampuran, the ruler of Cochin, started it in 1796.
He invited 10 local temples to celebrate the Puram at the Vadakkunnathan Temple.
Babu : What are the main events of the ThrissurPuram?
Kumaran : The main events are the ceremonial processions of caparisoned elephants from participating
temples, the Ilanjithara Melam and Panchavadyam the competitive Kudamattam ceremony with the exchange of colourful umbrellas, and then the fireworks we saw.
