Peeli’s Village Class 5 Notes Malayalam Medium

Question 1.
കൂട്ടത്തിലെ അഞ്ചാമത്തെ ആളായി നിങ്ങളെ വരച്ചുചേർത്ത് സ്വയം പരിചയപ്പെടുത്തൂ.
Answer:
എന്റെ പേര് നിമ്മി. ഞാൻ തൃശ്ശൂർ ജില്ലയിലെ പുതുക്കാട് ഗ്രാമപഞ്ചായത്തിൽ താമസിക്കുന്നു. എന്റെ വീട്ടിൽ എന്നെ കൂടാതെ അച്ഛനും അമ്മയും ചേട്ടനും ആണ് ഉള്ളത്. ചേട്ടന്റെ പേര് നിവിൻ എന്നാണ്. ഞാനും ചേട്ടനും ഒരു സ്കൂളിൽ തന്നെയാണ് പഠിക്കുന്നത്. ഞാൻ ചേട്ടനോടൊപ്പം ആണ് സ്കൂളിലേക്ക് പോകുന്നത്. നാട്ടുവഴികളിലൂടെ ഞങ്ങൾ കഥ പറഞ്ഞു കൂട്ടുകാരോടൊപ്പം ആണ് സ്കൂളിൽ പോകുന്നത്. ഞങ്ങളുടെ മാതാപിതാക്കൾ കർഷകരാണ്. അച്ഛനും അമ്മയും ചേർന്നാണ് കാർഷിക പ്രവർത്തനങ്ങൾ നടത്തുന്നത്. പ്രധാനമായും വാഴ, മരച്ചീനി, ചേന, ചേമ്പ് തുടങ്ങിയ കൃഷികളാണ് ചെയ്യുന്നത്. ഞങ്ങൾക്ക് കുറച്ചു നിലവും സ്വന്തമായുണ്ട്. ഞങ്ങൾക്കാവശ്യമായ നെല്ല് അവിടെയാണ് കൃഷി ചെയ്യുന്നത്. നെൽകൃഷി കഴിഞ്ഞതിനുശേഷം വേനൽക്കാലത്ത് ഈ പാടങ്ങളിൽ ഞങ്ങൾ പച്ചക്കറി കൃഷി ചെയ്യാറുണ്ട്. ഞങ്ങളുടെ ആവശ്യങ്ങൾ നിറവേറ്റുന്നതിനു വേണ്ടി കാർഷിക അമ്മയ്ക്ക് വിളകളിൽ നിന്നുളള വരുമാനമാണ് ഞങ്ങളെ സഹായിക്കുന്നത്.

അച്ഛനെ സഹായിക്കുന്നതിനോടൊപ്പം തന്നെ ഒരു വരുമാനമാർഗ്ഗം എന്ന നിലയിൽ ഒരു പശുവും കിടാവും, രണ്ട് ആടുകളും കുറെയേറെ കോഴികളും ഉണ്ട്. ഞങ്ങളുടെ ആവശ്യത്തിനുള്ള പാലും മുട്ടയും എടുത്തതിനുശേഷം മിച്ചം വരുന്നവ ഗ്രാമത്തിലെ ചന്തയിൽ വിൽക്കുന്നു. ഇത് അമ്മയുടെ സ്വകാര്യ സമ്പാദ്യമായി വയ്ക്കുകയും ചെയ്യുന്നു. എന്റെ വീട്ടിലെ പശുക്കുട്ടിയെ ഞാനാണ് നോക്കുന്നത്. ഞങ്ങളുടെ ഗ്രാമത്തിൽ എനിക്ക് അനേകം കൂട്ടുകാരുണ്ട് വൈകുന്നേരം സ്കൂൾ വിട്ടുവരുന്ന ഞങ്ങൾ കൂട്ടുകാരോടൊപ്പം പലതരം കളികളിൽ ഏർപ്പെടാറുണ്ട്. മഴക്കാലം ഞങ്ങൾക്ക് ഒരു പേടിക്കാലമാണ്. ഞങ്ങളുടെ സമീപത്തുള്ള പാടങ്ങൾ വെള്ളത്താൽ മുങ്ങുന്നതും അപകടങ്ങൾ ഉണ്ടാകുന്നതും അതിനാൽ സാധാരണമാണ്. അപകടത്തിന്റെ വെളളക്കെട്ടുകളിൽ ഞങ്ങൾ കൂടുതലായതിനാൽ വളരെ സൂക്ഷിക്കണം എന്ന് ഞങ്ങളുടെ അധ്യാപകരും, മാതാപിതാക്കളും ഞങ്ങളോട് പറഞ്ഞിട്ടുണ്ട്.

Question 2.
നിങ്ങൾ സ്വയം പരിചയപ്പെടുത്തിയല്ലോ? നിങ്ങൾ പറഞ്ഞുകഴിഞ്ഞ വിവരങ്ങളോടൊപ്പം നിങ്ങളുടെ ഹോബി, ഒഴിവുസമയം ചെലവഴിക്കുന്ന രീതികൾ, ആഗ്രഹങ്ങൾ, സ്വപ്നങ്ങൾ എന്നിവയെല്ലാം ചേർത്ത് വിപുലപ്പെടുത്തിയ വ്യക്തിഗത പ്രൊഫൈൽ (വ്യക്തിഗത വിവരങ്ങൾ) ഉണ്ടാക്കാൻ ശ്രമിക്കുക. ടീച്ചറുടെ സഹായവും ഇതിനുണ്ടാകും.
Answer:
ഞാൻ എന്നെക്കുറിച്ച് പരിചയപ്പെടുത്തി കഴിഞ്ഞല്ലോ… ഇനി അതിൽ വിട്ടുപോയ ചില കാര്യങ്ങൾ ഇവിടെ കൂട്ടിച്ചേർക്കട്ടെ. എന്റെ പ്രധാനപ്പെട്ട ഹോബി വായനയാണ്. സ്കൂൾ വിട്ടു വന്നു കഴിഞ്ഞാൽ വീട്ടിലെത്തി എന്റെ യൂണിഫോം വസ്ത്രങ്ങൾ മാറി ഞാൻ കുറച്ചു നേരം എന്റെ കൂട്ടുകാരോടൊപ്പം പുറത്തുപോയി കളിക്കാറുണ്ട്, എന്നിരുന്നാലും എനിക്ക് ഏറ്റവും ഇഷ്ടം വായന തന്നെയാണ്. ഞാൻ ധാരാളം പുസ്തകങ്ങൾ വായിക്കാറുണ്ട്. ഞങ്ങളുടെ ഗ്രാമത്തിലുള്ള ലൈബ്രറിയിൽ പോയി അവിടെ നിന്നും കുട്ടികൾക്കുളള പുസ്തകങ്ങൾ എടുത്തു കൊണ്ട് വന്ന് വായിക്കുകയും ചേട്ടനോട് സംശയങ്ങൾ ചോദിക്കുകയും ചെയ്യാറുണ്ട്.

മറ്റൊരു പ്രധാനപ്പെട്ട വിനോദം ചേട്ടനോട് ഒപ്പം ഷട്ടിൽ കളിക്കുന്നതാണ്.ഇത് കൂടാതെ എനിക്ക് എന്റെ പശുക്കുട്ടിയെ എനിക്ക് എന്റെ പശുക്കുട്ടിയെ വളരെ ഇഷ്ടമായതുകൊണ്ട് അതിനോടൊപ്പം സമയം ചെലവഴിക്കാൻ ഞാൻ സമയം കണ്ടെത്താറുണ്ട്. എന്റെ ഏറ്റവും വലിയ ആഗ്രഹം ഒരു കമ്പ്യൂട്ടർ പ്രോഗ്രാമർ ആകണം എന്നുള്ളതാണ്. ഞാനിപ്പോൾ തന്നെ സ്വന്തമായി ചില പരിപാടികൾ യൂട്യൂബിൽ അപ്ലോഡ് ചെയ്യാറുണ്ട്. എന്നാൽ ഞാൻ മൊബൈൽ ഫോണിൽ സമയം ചെലവഴിക്കുന്നത് വളരെ പരിമിതമാണ്. ഇത് എന്റെ പഠനത്തെ ബാധിക്കാതിരിക്കുന്നതിനുവേണ്ടി ഞാൻ ശ്രദ്ധിക്കാറുണ്ട്. എനിക്ക് പാചകം ഇഷ്ടമുള്ള ഒരു ഹോബിയാണ്. ഞാൻ അമ്മയെ പാചകത്തിൽ സഹായിക്കാറുണ്ട് .

Question 3.
നിങ്ങളും ഇവർക്കൊപ്പം യാത്രയ്ക്ക് ഒരുങ്ങിയിരിക്കുകയല്ലേ? നിങ്ങൾക്കും ഉണ്ടാവില്ലേ ചില ആശങ്കകൾ? താഴെ നിങ്ങളെ വരച്ചുചേർത്ത് നിങ്ങളുടെ ചിന്തകൾ ഇവിടെ എഴുതിച്ചേർക്കൂ.
Answer:
(ഇവിടെ ചെയ്യേണ്ടത് നിങ്ങളുടെ സാഹചര്യത്തിനനുസരിച്ചുള്ള കുറിപ്പാണ് അതിനായി ഒരു തയ്യാറാക്കേണ്ടത്. മാതൃക ഇവിടെ നൽകുന്നു.) യാത്രകളെ ഇഷ്ടപ്പെടുന്നവരാണ് എന്റെ അച്ഛനും അമ്മയും. ഞങ്ങൾ സകുടുംബം സാധാരണയായി യാത്ര ചെയ്യാറുണ്ട്. പുതിയ സ്ഥലങ്ങൾ, പുതിയ ആളുകൾ, പുതിയ സാഹചര്യങ്ങൾ ഇവ നമുക്ക് കൂടുതൽ അറിവ് നൽകും എന്നുള്ളതാണ് അവരുടെ അഭിപ്രായം. എന്നാൽ ചേട്ടന് എന്റെ ഒപ്പം യാത്രയ്ക്ക് വരാൻ കഴിയാത്തതിൽ വിഷമമുണ്ട് കാരണം ചേട്ടനും യാത്ര വളരെയേറെ ഇഷ്ടപ്പെടുന്ന ആളാണ്. മാത്രമല്ല ഞാനും ചേട്ടനും ഇതുവരെയും പിരിഞ്ഞ് നിന്നിട്ടുമില്ല. യാത്രയ്ക്ക് ഒരുങ്ങുമ്പോൾ കരുതേണ്ട കാര്യങ്ങളെക്കുറിച്ച് അമ്മയും അച്ഛനും എനിക്ക് പറഞ്ഞു തന്നു.

അതിൽ ഏറ്റവും പ്രധാനമായി പറഞ്ഞത് പരിചയമില്ലാത്ത വെളളക്കെട്ടുകൾ അപകടകരമാണ് എന്നും വെള്ളത്തിൽ ഇറങ്ങി കളിക്കരുതെന്നും, വിജനമായ സ്ഥലങ്ങളിൽ ഒറ്റക്കൊന്നും പോകരുതെന്നും, കൂട്ടുവിടരുതെന്നും മറ്റു കുട്ടികളിൽ നിന്നും ഒറ്റയ്ക്ക് മാറി പോകരുതെന്നും പറഞ്ഞു തന്നു. എനിക്ക് എന്റെ ചേട്ടനെയും അച്ഛനെയും അമ്മയെയും പിരിഞ്ഞിരിക്കുക എന്നത് വലിയ വിഷമമാണ്. ഞാൻ ഇതുവരെ ഇങ്ങനെ ഒറ്റയ്ക്ക് ഒരു യാത്ര നടത്തിയിട്ടില്ല അതാണ് കാരണം. എന്നാൽ കൂട്ടുകാരോടൊപ്പം യാത്ര ചെയ്യുക എന്നത് എന്നെ യാത്രയ്ക്ക് വളരെയേറെ പ്രേരിപ്പിക്കുന്നുണ്ട്.

Question 4.
വ്യത്യസ്ത ജീവിതസാഹചര്യങ്ങളിൽ നിന്ന് വന്ന ഇവർ എങ്ങനെയാവും ഇത്ര അടുപ്പമുള്ള കൂട്ടുകാരായത്? ഇവർ സുഹൃത്തുക്കളാകാൻ ഇടയായ സാഹചര്യം സങ്കല്പിച്ച് ക്ലാസ്സിൽ ഒരു റോൾപ്ലേ അവതരിപ്പിക്കുക.

(വിക്കി, അവരുടെ സംഭാഷണം കണ്ടതിനു ശേഷം)

വിക്കി:-ഹായ് സുഹൃത്തുക്കളെ; ഞാനും നിങ്ങളോടൊപ്പം ചേരുന്നു. നമുക്ക് പന്ത് പാസ്സ് ചെയ്ത് കളിച്ചാലോ?

നീനു: (പുഞ്ചിരിയോടെ) അതൊരു നല്ല കളിയാണ്.

അപ്പു :-(അവരുടെ അടുത്തേക്ക് വേഗത്തിൽ ഓടുന്നു) ഹായ്… ഞാനും നിങ്ങളോടൊപ്പം ചേരട്ടെ? നിമ്മി:-(മനോഹരമായ ഒരു പുഞ്ചിരിയോടെ) തീർച്ചയായും, ഞങ്ങൾ പന്ത് കളിച്ചാലോ എന്ന് ആലോചിക്കുകയായിരുന്നു.
(ഒരുമിച്ച്, അവർ പന്ത് ചോദിക്കാൻ പി. ടി ടീച്ചറുടെ അടുത്തേക്ക് പോകുമ്പോൾ ചമേലി ഒരു മരച്ചുവട്ടിൽ ഇരുന്ന് മറ്റുള്ളവർകളിക്കുന്നത് നോക്കി ഇരിക്കുന്നത് അവർ കണ്ടു

അപ്പു:-(ചമേലിയുടെ അടുത്തേക്ക് പോയി ഞങ്ങളോടൊപ്പം വരൂ, നമുക്കു പന്ത് കളിക്കാം.

(ഒരുമിച്ച്, അവർ ടീച്ചറിൽ നിന്ന് ഒരു പന്ത് ശേഖരിച്ച് സന്തോഷത്തോടെ കളിക്കുന്നു).

വിക്കി:-നിങ്ങളെയെല്ലാം കണ്ടതിൽ എനിക്ക് വളരെ സന്തോഷമുണ്ട്. ഇത് ഒരു നല്ല വർഷമായിരിക്കും.

നീനു:-(ചിരിച്ചുകൊണ്ട്) അതെ, നമ്മൾ ഇപ്പോൾ തന്നെ നല്ല സുഹൃത്തുക്കളായി മാറിയിരിക്കുന്നു.

അപ്പു:-(തലയാട്ടി കൊണ്ട്) വ്യത്യസ്ത പശ്ചാത്തലങ്ങൾ, പക്ഷേ അതിശയകരമായ ഒരു ടീം!

(ടീച്ചർ: (ദൂരെ നിന്ന് നോക്കുന്നു) അവരെ നോക്കൂ! എത്ര പെട്ടെന്നാണ് സുഹൃത്തുക്കളായതെന്ന്, കാണാൻ അതിശയകരമാണ്)

Question 7.
പീലിക്കുള്ള മറുപടി എഴുതിച്ചേർക്കൂ.
Answer:
ചില ഉദാഹരണങ്ങൾ ഇതാ:

ഉദ്ദേശിച്ച സമയത്ത് വാഹനം കിട്ടാതിരുന്നത്
വഴിയിലുണ്ടായ ഗതാഗത കുരുക്കും തടസ്സവും
റോഡ് മോശം
പ്രതികൂല കാലാവസ്ഥ
സമരം പോലെയുള്ള റോഡ് തടസ്സങ്ങൾ

ഇവയൊക്കെ തന്നെ ഉദാഹരണമായി പറയാവുന്നതാണ്. നിങ്ങൾക്ക് കൂടുതൽ കാര്യങ്ങൾ എഴുതി ചേർക്കാൻ സാധിക്കും.
ഉദാഹരണം: “ഹായ് പീലി… വൈകിയതിൽ ക്ഷമിക്കണം. ട്രാഫിക് കാരണം ഞങ്ങൾക്ക് ഞങ്ങളുടെ ആദ്യ ബസ് നഷ്ടപ്പെട്ടു. പിന്നെ ഞങ്ങൾ അടുത്ത ബസ് പിടിച്ചപ്പോൾ, പാതിവഴി എത്തിയതും അത് കേടു വന്നു. പകരം ഒരു ബസിനായി ഞങ്ങൾ പിന്നെയും കാത്തിരിക്കേണ്ടിവന്നു. അവസാനം ഞങ്ങൾ ബസിൽ നിന്നിറങ്ങി വയലുകളിലൂടെ നടക്കാൻ തുടങ്ങിയപ്പോൾ, ഞങ്ങൾക്ക് വഴി തെറ്റി. പക്ഷേ ഒരു കർഷകൻ ഞങ്ങളെ സഹായിച്ചു. പീലി പറഞ്ഞു തന്ന അടയാളങ്ങൾ ഞങ്ങൾ ആ അങ്കിൾനോട് പറഞ്ഞു. അവസാനം ആ അങ്കിൾ ആണ് ഞങ്ങളെ ഇവിടെ എത്തിച്ചത്. വരുന്ന വഴിയിൽ പുഴകളും കൃഷി സ്ഥലങ്ങളും കണ്ടു. എന്ത് ഭംഗി ആണ് കാണാൻ”.

Answer:
നമ്മളുടെ നഗരത്തിലെ തിരക്കേറിയ തെരുവുകളിൽ നിന്ന് വ്യത്യസ്തമായി വിശാലമായ പച്ചപ്പ് നിറഞ്ഞ വയലുകൾ നമ്മൾ കാണുമെന്ന് പ്രതീക്ഷിക്കുന്നു. പക്ഷികളുടെ ശബ്ദവും, മൃഗങ്ങളും, മേച്ചിൽപ്പുറവും കൊണ്ട് ഗ്രാമം സമാധാനപരവും ശാന്തവുമാണെന്ന് ഞങ്ങൾ സങ്കൽപ്പിച്ചു. സൗഹാർദ്ദപരമായ ഗ്രാമീണരെ കണ്ടുമുട്ടാനും ഞങ്ങൾ കാത്തിരിക്കുകയായിരുന്നു. ചെളിയും വൈക്കോൽ ഉപയോഗിച്ച് നിർമ്മിച്ച പരമ്പരാഗത വീടുകൾ കാണാനും പീലി പലപ്പോഴും സംസാരി ക്കുന്ന കാർഷിക രീതികളെക്കുറിച്ച് അറിയാനും ഞങ്ങൾ കാത്തിരിക്കുകയാണ്. ശുദ്ധവായുവും, നക്ഷത്രങ്ങൾ നിറഞ്ഞ തെളിഞ്ഞ ആകാശവും ഞങ്ങൾ പ്രതീക്ഷിച്ചു, നഗരത്തിൽ ഞങ്ങൾ അപൂർവ്വമായി മാത്രമേ കണ്ടിട്ടുള്ളൂ. ഇതാണ് നിമ്മി വരച്ച ചിത്രം. നിങ്ങളും ഒന്ന് ശ്രമിച്ചുനോക്കൂ….

Question 9.

ചോദ്യങ്ങൾ:

ഏതെല്ലാം വിളകളാണ് കൃഷി ചെയ്യുന്നത്?

Question 10.
കൂട്ടുകാർക്കായി ഒരു വിഭവം ഉണ്ടാക്കിയാലോ? നിങ്ങളുടെ പരിസരത്ത് നിന്ന് ലഭിക്കുന്ന ഭക്ഷ്യവസ്തുക്കൾ ഉപയോഗിച്ച് മുതിർന്നവരുടെ സഹായത്തോടെ ഭക്ഷണം തയ്യാറാക്കി ക്ലാസിൽ കൊണ്ടുവരൂ.

Question 11.
എന്തുകൊണ്ടാവാം ഒരേ നഗരത്തെ പറ്റി വിക്കിയും അപ്പുവും രണ്ടുതരം അഭിപ്രായം പറഞ്ഞിട്ടുണ്ടാവുക?
Answer:
ഒരേ നഗരത്തിലെ തന്നെ വ്യത്യസ്ത സാഹചര്യങ്ങളിൽ നിന്നാണ് ജീവിത അപ്പവും വിക്കിയുമെത്തുന്നത്. നഗരത്തിലെ വളരെ പാവപ്പെട്ടവർ താമസിക്കുന്ന ഒരു ചേരി പ്രദേശത്താണ് അപ്പുവിന്റെ വീട്. അപ്പുവിന്റെ വീട്ടിൽ അപ്പുവും അപ്പുവിന്റെ അമ്മയും മാത്രമാണുള്ളത്. അപ്പുവിന്റെ അമ്മ തൊട്ടടുത്തുള്ള ഒരു തുണിമില്ലിലെ ദിവസക്കൂലിക്കാരിയാണ്. അതുകൊണ്ടുതന്നെ അപ്പുവിന്റെ ജീവിത സാഹചര്യങ്ങൾ വളരെയേറെ ബുദ്ധിമുട്ടുള്ളതാണ്. അവൻ താമസിക്കുന്ന ചേരി പ്രദേശത്ത് യാതൊരു തരത്തിലുള്ള അടിസ്ഥാന സൗകര്യങ്ങളും ഇല്ല. ശുദ്ധജലത്തിനായി അയൽവാസികളുമായി മത്സരിക്കേണ്ട ഒരു സാഹചര്യം ആണുള്ളത്.

അതേപോലെതന്നെ വളരെ മലിനമായ പരിസ്ഥിതി ആയതുകൊണ്ട് തന്നെ അപ്പുവിനെ സംബന്ധിച്ചിടത്തോളം അപ്പുവിന്റെ നഗരത്തിലെ വാസസ്ഥലം ഒട്ടും തന്നെ മാനസികമായ സന്തോഷം നൽകുന്നതല്ല. ഗ്രാമത്തിൽ എത്തിയപ്പോൾ കണ്ട വിശാലമായ പ്രകൃതിയും ആകർഷിച്ചത് കൃഷിയിടങ്ങളും ശാന്തമായ അപ്പുവിനെ നഗരത്തിൽ താമസിക്കുന്ന ഒരു വിക്കിയുടെ പ്രദേശത്താണ് സൗകര്യങ്ങളോടുകൂടിയ ഒരു ആഡംബര ഫ്ലാറ്റ് സമുച്ചയത്തിൽ താമസിക്കുന്ന സംബന്ധിച്ചിടത്തോളം ജീവിതം എപ്പോഴും ആനന്ദകരമാണ്. അവന്റെ ജീവിത സാഹചര്യങ്ങളിൽ അവന് ആവശ്യമായ വിനോദ, വിശ്രമ ഉപാധികൾ ധാരാളമുള്ളതുകൊണ്ട് നഗരത്തിലെ ജീവിതം അവന് ഒരിക്കലും മടുപ്പുളവാക്കുന്നില്ല. എന്നാൽ ഗ്രാമത്തിന്റെ സ്വച്ഛതയും, ഭംഗിയും ശാന്തതും അവനെ ആകർഷിച്ചുവെങ്കിലും സുഖസൗകര്യങ്ങളുടെ പരിമിതിയാണ് അവന് ബുദ്ധിമുട്ടുണ്ടാക്കിയത്.

Question 12.
നിങ്ങളുടെ നാട്ടിൽ ആഴ്ചച്ചന്തകൾ, സ്ഥിരം ചന്തകൾ, വൈകുന്നേരച്ചന്തകൾ എന്നിവയൊക്കെ ഉണ്ടാകുമല്ലോ? മുതിർന്നവരുടെ ഒപ്പം അവ സന്ദർശിച്ച് അവിടത്തെ ഇടപാടുകൾ നിരീക്ഷിച്ച് കുറിപ്പ് തയ്യാറാക്കൂ.
Answer:
ജൂൺ 15 ശനിയാഴ്ച ഞാൻ എന്റെ വീട്ടുകാർക്ക് ഒപ്പം അടുത്തുള്ള മാർക്കറ്റിൽ പോയി. ഒരുപാടു ആളുകൾ അന്ന് അവിടെ ഉണ്ടായിരുന്നു. മാർക്കറ്റ് ഒരുപാട് പ്രവർത്തനങ്ങളിൽ നിറഞ്ഞിരുന്നു. പഴങ്ങൾ പച്ചക്കറികൾ, വസ്ത്രങ്ങൾ, വീട്ടുപകരണങ്ങൾ, കളിപ്പാട്ടങ്ങൾ എന്നിവ വിൽക്കുന്ന സ്റ്റാളുകൾ ഉണ്ടായിരുന്നു.

ചില സ്റ്റാളുകളിൽ വർണ്ണാഭമായ അലങ്കാരങ്ങൾ ഉണ്ടായിരുന്നു, പ്രത്യേകിച്ച് വസ്ത്രങ്ങളും അനുബന്ധ ഉപകരണങ്ങളും വിൽക്കുന്നവയിൽ നിരവധി ആളുകൾ അവരുടെ ഷോപ്പിംഗ് നടത്തുന്നത് ഞാൻ കുടുംബത്തോടൊപ്പം ഉപഭോക്താക്കളെ ആകർഷിക്കുന്നതിനായി വിൽപ്പനക്കാർ അവരുടെ വിലകൾ ഉറക്കെ വിളിച്ചു പറയുന്നുണ്ടായിരുന്നു. ചില ആളുകൾ ട്രക്കുകളിൽ നിന്ന് സാധനങ്ങൾ കയറ്റുകയും ഇറക്കുകയും ചെയ്യുകയായിരുന്നു. അവർ കൈകൊണ്ട് നിർമ്മിച്ച കരകൗശല വസ്തുക്കൾ വിൽക്കുന്ന ഒരു പ്രത്യേക വിഭാഗം മാർക്കറ്റിൽ ഉണ്ടായിരുന്നു.

അത് വളരെ വർണ്ണാഭമായിരുന്നു, കൂടാതെ ചായം പൂശിയ കലങ്ങളും നെയ്ത കൊട്ടകളും പോലുള്ള സവിശേഷമായ നിരവധി ഇനങ്ങൾ ഉണ്ടായിരുന്നു. ഉപസംഹാരം: “മാർക്കറ്റ് സന്ദർശിക്കുന്നത് വളരെ രസകരമായ ഒരു അനുഭവമായിരുന്നു. വിപണികൾ എങ്ങനെ പ്രവർത്തിക്കുന്നു എന്നതിനെക്കുറിച്ച് ഞാൻ വളരെയധികം പഠിക്കുകയും നിരവധി വ്യത്യസ്ത വസ്തുക്കൾ വിൽക്കുന്നത് കാണുകയും ചെയ്തു. വിപണി ചെയ്തു. എത്ര സജീവവും മൊത്തത്തിൽ, ഞാൻ ഇത് ശബ്ദമയവുമാണെന്ന് കാണുന്നത് അതിശയകരമായിരുന്നു. ആസ്വദിക്കുകയും ഒരു മാർക്കറ്റിൽ നടക്കുന്ന വ്യത്യസ്ത പ്രവർത്തനങ്ങളെക്കുറിച്ച് പഠിക്കുകയും ചെയ്തു”. (ഇത് പോലെ ഒരു മാർക്കറ്റ് നിങ്ങളും സന്ദർശിച്ച് കുറിപ്പുകൾ തയ്യാറാക്കൂ

Question 13.
നിങ്ങളും ജീവിതത്തിൽ സന്തോഷത്തിന്റെ നിമിഷങ്ങൾ ജീവിതത്തിൽ അനുഭവിച്ചിട്ടുണ്ടാകുമല്ലോ? ഏതൊക്കെ സന്ദർഭങ്ങളിലാണ്, എന്തൊക്കെ ലഭിച്ചാലാണ് നിങ്ങൾക്ക് സന്തോഷം ഉണ്ടാവുക? സ്കൂളിലെ ഡിജിറ്റൽ ഉപകരണങ്ങളുടെ സഹായത്തോടെ ടീച്ചറുടെ മേൽനോട്ടത്തിൽ ‘എന്റെ സന്തോഷങ്ങൾ’ എന്ന പേരിൽ ഒരു സെൽഫി വീഡിയോ തയ്യാറാക്കൂ.
Answer:
ഒരു സെൽഫി വീഡിയോ തയ്യാറാക്കുന്നതിനായി മുന്നൊരുക്കങ്ങൾ ആവശ്യമാണ്. ആദ്യമായി നിങ്ങൾ നടത്താൻ പോകുന്ന പ്രവർത്തനത്തിന്റെ ഒരു രൂപരേഖ തയ്യാറാക്കേണ്ടതുണ്ട്. അതിനുശേഷം ചെയ്യാൻ പോകുന്ന സെൽഫി വീഡിയോയുടെ സ്റ്റോറിബോർഡ് തയ്യാറാക്കണം. ഇതിൽ എന്തൊക്കെ ഉൾപ്പെടുത്താം എന്ന് നോക്കൂ. നിങ്ങളുടെ ജീവിതത്തിൽ സന്തോഷം തന്നെ എന്തെല്ലാം നിമിഷങ്ങൾ ഉണ്ടാവാം, അത് പട്ടികപ്പെടുത്തുക.
ഉദാഹരണത്തിന്:

നിങ്ങൾ ആദ്യമായി സ്കൂളിൽ ചേർന്ന നിമിഷം.
മാതാപിതാക്കളുടെയും ചേട്ടന്റെയും അല്ലെങ്കിൽ ചേച്ചിയുടെ ഒപ്പം സ്കൂളിലേക്ക് വന്നത്.
ക്ലാസിൽ സുഹൃത്തുക്കളോടൊത്ത് വിനോദയാത്ര പോയത്.
നാട്ടിലെ ആഘോഷങ്ങളിൽ പങ്കെടുത്തത്.
നിങ്ങൾക്ക് സ്വന്തമായി ഒരു സൈക്കിൾ ലഭിച്ച നിമിഷം.
കുടുബത്തിലെ ആഘോഷങ്ങൾ.
മത്സരപരീക്ഷയിൽ സമ്മാനം നേടിയത്.

ഇങ്ങനെ നിങ്ങളുടെ ജീവിത്തിൽ സന്തോഷം നൽകുന്ന നിമിഷങ്ങൾ എല്ലാം കൂട്ടിച്ചേർത്ത് ഒരു സെൽഫി വീഡിയോ തയ്യാറാക്കൂ..

ആമുഖം: ഹലോ പറഞ്ഞ് ആരംഭിക്കുക, നിങ്ങളുടെ വീഡിയോ എന്തിനെക്കുറിച്ചാണെന്ന് എല്ലാവരോടും പറയുക.

ഉദാഹരണം: “എല്ലാവർക്കും നമസ്കാരം! ഞാനാണ് (നിങ്ങളുടെ പേര്), ഇന്ന് എനിക്ക് സന്തോഷം നൽകുന്ന കാര്യങ്ങളെക്കുറിച്ച് ഞാൻ നിങ്ങളോട് പറയാൻ പോകുന്നു “.

പ്രധാന ഉള്ളടക്കം: നിങ്ങളുടെ പട്ടികയിലെ ഓരോ കാര്യത്തെക്കുറിച്ചും സംസാരിക്കുക. അത് നിങ്ങളെ സന്തോഷിപ്പിക്കുന്നത് എന്തുകൊണ്ടാണെന്ന് നിങ്ങൾ വിവരിക്കുകയും കാണിക്കുകയും ചെയ്യുക.

ഉദാഹരണം: “എന്റെ സുഹൃത്തുക്കളോടൊപ്പം ഫുട്ബോൾ കളിക്കാൻ ഞാൻ ഇഷ്ടപ്പെടുന്നു, കാരണം അത് വളരെ രസകരമാണ്, ഞങ്ങൾ വളരെയധികം ചിരിക്കുന്നു”.

കാണിക്കുകയും പറയുകയും ചെയ്യുക: നിങ്ങൾ സംസാരിക്കുന്നതുമായി ബന്ധപ്പെട്ട ചിത്രങ്ങളോ വസ്തുക്കളോ കാണിക്കുക. നിങ്ങൾക്ക് സന്തോഷം നൽകുന്ന ഒരു വളർത്തുമൃഗമുണ്ടെങ്കിൽ, നിങ്ങളുടെ വളർത്തുമൃഗത്തെ വീഡിയോയിൽ കാണിക്കാം.

ഉദാഹരണം: “ഇത് എന്റെ പൂച്ചയാണ്, ലിലി. അവളോടൊപ്പം കളിക്കുന്നത് എല്ലായ്പ്പോഴും എനിക്ക് സന്തോഷം നൽകുന്നു “.

ഉപസംഹാരം: ഒരു നല്ല സന്ദേശത്തോടെ നിങ്ങളുടെ വീഡിയോ പൂർത്തിയാക്കുക.

ഉദാഹരണം: “കണ്ടതിന് നന്ദി! എന്നെ സന്തോഷിപ്പിക്കുന്ന കാര്യങ്ങളെക്കുറിച്ച് പറഞ്ഞത് നിങ്ങൾക്ക് ഇഷ്ടപ്പെട്ടുവെന്ന് ഞാൻ പ്രതീക്ഷിക്കുന്നു. എന്താണ് നിങ്ങൾക്ക് സന്തോഷം നൽകുന്നത്?

Question 14.
നിങ്ങളുടെ നാട്ടിലും വിവിധതരം ഉത്സവങ്ങൾ നടക്കാറില്ലേ? ഉത്സവങ്ങൾ, പെരുന്നാൾ, ഉറുസ്, മേളകൾ, കായിക മത്സരങ്ങൾ തുടങ്ങിയ ആഘോഷങ്ങളെ കുറിച്ച് മുതിർന്നവരോട് ചോദിച്ച് ഒരു വിവരണം തയ്യാറാക്കൂ. മുതിർന്നവർക്കൊപ്പം അവ കാണാൻ പോയതിന്റെ അനുഭവവും ക്ലാസിൽ പങ്കുവയ്ക്കൂ.

ഓണം കേരളത്തിന്റെ സാംസ്കാരിക ഐക്യത്തിന്റെ ഉത്സവമാണ്. ജാതിമതഭേദമന്യേ എല്ലാം ഒരുപോലെ ആചരിക്കുന്ന ഈ ഉത്സവം മലയാളികളുടെ ഹൃദയത്തിൽ പ്രത്യേക സ്ഥാനമുണ്ടാക്കുന്നു. മഹാബലി ചക്രവർത്തിയുടെ സുവർണകാലത്തെ ഓർമ്മപ്പെടുത്തുന്ന ഓണം, സമൃദ്ധിയും സമാധാനവും സന്തോഷവും കൊണ്ടുവരുന്ന ഉത്സവമായി നിലകൊള്ളുന്നു. പല ദിവസങ്ങളിലായി ആചരിക്കുന്ന ഈ ഉത്സവത്തിൽ ത്രികാക്കരയപ്പന്റെ അരങ്ങേറ്റം മുതൽ തിരുവോണം വരെയുള്ള ഓരോ ദിവസത്തിനും വ്യത്യസ്ത ആചാരങ്ങൾ ഉണ്ട്.

അത്തപ്പൂക്കളം, ഓണസദ്യ, വളളംകളി, പുലികളി, തുടങ്ങി അനവധി കലാരൂപങ്ങളും ആഘോഷങ്ങളും ഒത്തുചേരുന്ന ഓണം, കേരളത്തിന്റെ പൈതൃകത്തിന്റെയും ഐക്യത്തിന്റെയും പ്രതീകമാണ്. ജാതിയും മതവും മറന്ന് എല്ലാവരും ഒരുമിച്ച് ചേർന്ന് ആടുകയും പാടുകയും ചെയ്യുന്നത് ഓണത്തിന്റെ മനോഹാരിത കൂട്ടുന്നു. മലയാളികളുടെ വൈവിധ്യം പ്രതിഫലിപ്പിക്കുന്ന ഈ ഉത്സവം നമ്മുടെ സമുദായ ജീവിതത്തിന്റെ ഹൃദയത്തുടിപ്പാണ്.

മലയാളികൾ മാത്രമല്ല, കേരളത്തെ സ്നേഹിക്കുന്ന എല്ലാവരും ഒത്തുകൂടുന്ന ഈ ഐക്യവും സാഹോദര്യവും നന്മയും പകർന്നു നൽകുന്ന ഓണം സമൂഹത്തിന് മുന്നോട്ടുള്ള കാൽവയ്പ്പായി മാറുന്നു. (മേൽ പറഞ്ഞ സൂചനകൾ ഉപയോഗിച്ച്, നിങ്ങളും കുടുംബവും ഒത്തുചേർന്ന് ആസ്വദിക്കുന്ന ആഘോഷങ്ങളെക്കുറിച്ച് വിശദമായ ആകർഷകവുമായ ഒരു വിവരണം തയാറാക്കാൻ നിങ്ങൾക്ക് കഴിയും. ഈ അനുഭവങ്ങൾ ക്ലാസ്സിൽ കൂട്ടുകാർക്കൊപ്പം പങ്കുവയ്ക്കൂ.)

Question 15.
പീലിയും കൂട്ടുകാരും നിങ്ങളും ഗ്രാമത്തിലെ കാഴ്ചകൾ എല്ലാം കണ്ട് രാത്രി തിരിച്ചുവരികയാണ്. ഈ നേരത്ത് നമുക്കൊരു പാട്ടുണ്ടാക്കി പാടിയാലോ? ‘എന്റെ ഗ്രാമം’ എന്ന പേരിൽ ഒരു പാട്ടുണ്ടാക്കാം? നിങ്ങൾ കണ്ടിട്ടുള്ള ഗ്രാമങ്ങളും പീലിയുടെ ഗ്രാമവും ഒക്കെ ഉൾക്കൊള്ളുന്ന രീതിയിൽ ഒരു പാട്ടെഴുതി ക്ലാസിൽ സ്വന്തം താളത്തിനനുസരിച്ച് പാടി അവതരിപ്പിക്കുക.

എന്റെ ഗ്രാമം
എന്റെ ഗ്രാമം, എന്റെ സ്നേഹ ഭൂമി,
എന്റെ നാട്, എന്റെ സ്വന്തം നാട്ടുസ്ഥലം,
എല്ലാ നിമിഷവും നനവുള്ള സ്മരണകൾ,
എന്റെ ഗ്രാമം, എന്റെ ഹൃദയത്തിലെ പൊന്നിൻ തട്ടം.
പച്ച കിഴക്കൻ പാടങ്ങളും, പൂവും വിളയും,
മഴ പെയ്താൽ പുഴകളും പൈതലും കളിക്കും,
കാറ്റ് വീശിയാൽ കൊട്ടാരം പോലെ വള്ളികൾ,
എന്റെ ഗ്രാമത്തിൽ ഓരോ കാഴ്ചയും മധുരം.
ചെരുവിൽ ചേർന്ന പാട്ടും, കളിയും കൂടും,
പാട്ടിൻ മധുരം കാറ്റിൽ കലർന്നൊഴുകും,
വൈകുന്നേരം വെളിച്ചം നിലാവിലാഴമായി,
എന്റെ ഗ്രാമം പുണ്യമായ മണ്ണിന്റെ സ്മാരകം.
എന്റെ ഗ്രാമം, എന്റെ സ്നേഹ ഭൂമി, എന്റെ നാട്,
എന്റെ സ്വന്തം നാട്ടു സ്ഥലം,
എല്ലാ നിമിഷവും നനവുള്ള സ്മരണകൾ,

Answer:
നിങ്ങളുടെ വീടിനടുത്ത് ഒരു തുറസായ സ്ഥലം തിരഞ്ഞെടുക്കുക. ഉയർന്ന പ്രദേശമാണെങ്കിൽ ഏറ്റവും നല്ലത്. പ്രകാശം കുറഞ്ഞ ഒരു സ്ഥലമാണ് ഏറ്റവും അനുയോജ്യമായിട്ടുള്ളത്. രാത്രിയിൽ നിങ്ങൾ പുറത്തേക്ക് പോകുമ്പോൾ നിങ്ങളുടെ രക്ഷകർത്താക്കളെ കൂടെ കൂട്ടാൻ മറക്കരുത്. ഈ ഉയർന്ന കുന്നും പ്രദേശങ്ങൾ നിങ്ങളുടെ ഗ്രാമത്തിലോ താമസ സ്ഥലത്തിനടുത്തോ ഉണ്ടെങ്കിൽ നല്ലത്. നഗരങ്ങളിൽ ആണെങ്കിൽ വലിയ കെട്ടിടങ്ങളുടെ മുകളിൽ നിന്നുകൊണ്ട് നിങ്ങൾക്ക് ആകാശം വീക്ഷിക്കാവുന്നതാണ്.

നഗരങ്ങളിലെ അമിതമായ പ്രകാശം രാത്രി ആകാശക്കാഴ്ച ദുഷ്കരം ആകുമെങ്കിലും, ഗ്രാമങ്ങളിൽ തെളിഞ്ഞ ആകാശം ഉള്ള രാത്രികളിൽ നമുക്ക് അനേകം ആകാശപ്രതിഭാസങ്ങൾ കാണാനായി സാധിക്കും. ഇവയെ നിരീക്ഷിക്കുകയും നക്ഷത്രങ്ങളുടെ കൂട്ടങ്ങളെയും അവയുടെ ആകൃതിയും ഒക്കെ കൃത്യമായി നിരീക്ഷിച്ച് നിങ്ങളുടെ പുസ്തകത്തിൽ വരച്ചു ചേർക്കൂ.

നഗരജീവിതം മാത്രം രസമാണെന്നാണ് ഞാൻ വിചാരിച്ചത്. ഇവിടെ എത്തിയപ്പോൾ ആ ധാരണമാറി.
എന്റെ നാട്ടിലെ ഗ്രാമവും ഇതുപോലെയൊക്കെയാണ് എന്ന് മാ പറഞ്ഞിട്ടുണ്ട്.

Question 17.

നിങ്ങൾക്കൊപ്പം പീലിയുടെ ഗ്രാമത്തിൽ വന്ന കൂട്ടുകാർ അവരുടെ അഭിപ്രായം പങ്കുവച്ചല്ലോ. നിങ്ങൾക്കും പീലിയുടെ ഗ്രാമത്തെക്കുറിച്ച് എന്തെങ്കിലും പറയാൻ ഉണ്ടാവില്ലേ? ഗ്രാമക്കാഴ്ച നിങ്ങളെ എങ്ങനെയെല്ലാം സ്വാധീനിച്ചുവെന്ന് ഇവിടെ എഴുതിച്ചേർക്കൂ.
Answer:
“പീലിയുടെ ഗ്രാമത്തിലെ എന്റെ അനുഭവം”
പീലിയുടെ ഗ്രാമം സന്ദർശിച്ചത് എനിക്ക് ശരിക്കും മറക്കാനാവാത്ത അനുഭവമായിരുന്നു. പ്രകൃതി സൗന്ദര്യം, സാംസ്കാരിക സമൃദ്ധി, സഹകരണം, സ്നേഹം എന്നിവയുടെ തികഞ്ഞ സംയോജനമായിരുന്നു ആ ഗ്രാമം. പീലിയുടെ ഗ്രാമത്തെക്കുറിച്ച് ഞാൻ ആദ്യം ശ്രദ്ധിച്ച ഒരു കാര്യം അതിന്റെ അതിശയകരമായ പ്രകൃതിദൃശ്യമായിരുന്നു. പൂക്കളും ഉയരമുള്ള മരങ്ങളും നിറഞ്ഞ പച്ചപ്പ് നിറഞ്ഞ വയലുകളും കണ്ണുകൾക്ക് കാണാൻ കഴിയുന്നത്ര വ്യാപിച്ചുകിടക്കുന്നു. ശുദ്ധവായു, പക്ഷികളുടെ കോലാഹലം, കാറ്റിൽ ഇലകളുടെ ചലനം എന്നിവ ഗ്രാമീണ ജീവിതത്തിന്റെ സൗധര്യത്തെ ആണ് സൂചിപ്പിച്ചത്. പീലിയുടെ ഗ്രാമത്തിലെ പരമ്പരാഗത വീടുകൾ എന്നെ ആകർഷിച്ചു.

മണ്ണ്, മരം, മേൽക്കൂര തുടങ്ങിയ പ്രകൃതിദത്ത വസ്തുക്കൾ ഉപയോഗിച്ച് നിർമ്മിച്ച ഈ വീടുകൾ പരിസ്ഥിതി സൗഹൃദമാണെന്ന് അവിശ്വസനീയമാംവിധം ആകർഷകവുമായിരുന്നു. ഗ്രാമവാസികൾക്കിടയിൽ ശക്തമായ സാമൂഹികബോധം ഉണ്ടായിരുന്നു. ഞങ്ങൾ പോകുന്നിടത്തെല്ലാം ആളുകൾ പുഞ്ചിരിയോടെയും തുറന്ന മനസ്സോടെയും ഞങ്ങളെ സ്വീകരിച്ചു. അവരുടെ കഥകൾ, പാരമ്പര്യങ്ങൾ, അവരുടെ ഭക്ഷണം പോലും ഞങ്ങളുമായി പങ്കിടാൻ അവർക്കു ഉത്സാഹമായിരുന്നു. കർഷകർ ഭൂമി ഉഴുതുമറിക്കുന്നതും വിത്ത് വിതയ്ക്കുന്നതും വിളകൾ വിളവെടുക്കുന്നതും ഞങ്ങൾ കണ്ടു. ഞങ്ങളുടെ താമസത്തിനിടെ, ഗ്രാമത്തിലെ ചില സാംസ്കാരിക പാരമ്പര്യങ്ങൾക്കും ഉത്സവങ്ങൾക്കും സാക്ഷ്യം വഹിക്കാൻ ഞങ്ങൾക്ക് ഭാഗ്യമുണ്ടായി.

പീലിയുടെ ഗ്രാമത്തെക്കുറിച്ച് എന്നെ ഏറ്റവും ആകർഷിച്ചത് ആകർഷിച്ചത് അവിടത്തെ ജനങ്ങളുടെ ലാളിത്യവും സംതൃപ്തിയുമാണ്. നഗരജീവിതത്തിലെ ആഡംബരങ്ങളും സൗകര്യങ്ങളും ഇല്ലെങ്കിലും ഗ്രാമവാസികൾ അവരുടെ ജീവിതത്തിൽ യഥാർത്ഥത്തിൽ സന്തുഷ്ടരും സംതൃപ്തരുമായിരുന്നു. യഥാർത്ഥ സന്തോഷം പണത്തിൽ നിന്നല്ല, മറിച്ച് പ്രിയപ്പെട്ടവരുടെയും പ്രകൃതിയുടെയും ചുറ്റുമുള്ള ലളിതവും സംതൃപ്തവുമായ ജീവിതത്തിൽ നിന്നാണെന്ന് ഇത് എന്നെ പഠിപ്പിച്ചു. നഗരത്തിലെ മുന്തിയ സൗകര്യങ്ങൾ കൊണ്ട സന്തോഷം ഉണ്ടാകു എന്നാണ് ഞാൻ കരുതിയിരുന്നത്. ആ ചിന്ത മാറി. എന്നെ എല്ലാവരും മറ്റൊരു നാട്ടിൽ നിന്നുവന്ന കുട്ടിയായി കണ്ട് മാറ്റിനിർത്തുമോ എന്ന ഭയം എനിക്കുണ്ടായിരുന്നു. അതുമാറി. എനിയ്ക്ക് ഈ കാഴ്ചകളും സന്തോഷങ്ങളും അനുഭവിക്കാൻ കഴിയുമെന്ന് വിചാരിച്ചതേയില്ല.

Question 18.

നാലുപേരും അവരുടെ മുൻധാരണ തിരുത്തി പറഞ്ഞത് നിങ്ങൾ കേട്ടില്ലേ? പീലിയുടെ ഗ്രാമത്തിലൂടെ നിങ്ങളും സഞ്ചരിച്ചുവല്ലോ. ഈ യാത്രയ്ക്കിടയിൽ നിങ്ങൾക്ക് എന്തെല്ലാം പുതിയ അറിവുകളാണ് ഉണ്ടായത്? നിങ്ങളുടെ അനുഭവം കൂട്ടുകാരോട് പങ്കുവയ്ക്കുക.
Answer:
നമ്മുടെ ജീവിത സാഹചര്യത്തിൽ നിന്ന് വളരെ വ്യത്യസ്തമായ ജീവിതസാഹചര്യങ്ങൾ നമുക്ക് ചുറ്റുമുണ്ട്. നഗരങ്ങളും ഗ്രാമങ്ങളും തമ്മിൽ വളരെയേ വ്യത്യാസമുണ്ട്. അവിടുത്തെ ജനങ്ങളുടെയും ജീവിതത്തിലും തൊഴിലിലും വ്യത്യാസമുണ്ട്. ഓരോ മനുഷ്യനും അവരുടെ ജീവിത സാഹചര്യത്തിന് ഇണങ്ങുന്ന തൊഴിലുകളാണ് സ്വീകരിക്കുന്നത്. നഗരങ്ങളെ അപേക്ഷിച്ച് ഗ്രാമങ്ങളിൽ തിരക്കു കുറവും ശാന്തതയും ഉണ്ട്. അതുപോലെതന്നെ നഗരങ്ങളിൽ മലിനീകരണ പ്രശ്നങ്ങൾ വളരെ കുറവാണ്. സാമൂഹ്യജീവിതം കുറച്ചുകൂടി ഉറച്ചു കാണുന്നത് ഗ്രാമപ്രദേശങ്ങളിലാണ്. അവിടെ പരസ്പരം അറിയുന്നവർ, പരസ്പരം സഹായിക്കുകയും സഹകരിക്കുകയും ചെയ്യുന്നത് നിത്യ കാഴ്ചയാണ്.

Answer any 9 questions from 20 to 32. Each carries 3 scores. (9 × 3 = 27)

Question 20.
Name 3 methods for representing an integer number in computer memory.
Answer:
Representation of integers
കമ്പ്യൂട്ടറിൽ integers സൂക്ഷിക്കുന്നതിന് 3 വഴികളുണ്ട്. അവ താഴെ കൊടുത്തിരിക്കുന്നതാണ്.

1) Sign Magnitude Representation (SMR) – സാധാര ണയായി ഒരു നമ്പറിന് രണ്ട് ഭാഗങ്ങളുണ്ട്. ചിഹ്നവും അതിന്റെ മൂല്യവും. ഉദാഹരണത്തിന് +5ൽ + എന്നത് അതിന്റെ ചിഹ്നവും 5 എന്നത് അതിന്റെ മൂല്യവുമാണ്. SMRൽ Most significant bit ഉപയോഗിച്ച് ചിഹ്നം രേഖ പ്പെടുത്താം. MSB പൂജ്യമാണെങ്കിൽ ചിഹ്നം പോസിറ്റീവും, MSB ഒന്നാണെങ്കിൽ ചിഹ്നം നെഗറ്റീവും ആണ്.

ഉദാഹരണത്തിന് ഒരു കമ്പ്യൂട്ടറിന്റെ word size ഒരു byte ആണെങ്കിൽ (8 bits)
+5 സൂക്ഷിക്കുന്നതിങ്ങനെയാണ്

-5 സൂക്ഷിക്കുന്നതിങ്ങനെയാണ്.

ഇവിടെ MSB ചിഹ്നത്തിനുവേണ്ടിയും ബാക്കിയുള്ള 7 bitsകൾ നമ്പർ രേഖപ്പെടുത്തുന്നതിനും ഉപയോഗിക്കുന്നു. ആയതിനാൽ 2⁷ = 128 നമ്പറുകൾ നമുക്ക് സൂക്ഷിക്കാം. നെഗറ്റീവ് നമ്പറുകളും പോസിറ്റീവ് നമ്പറുകളും ഉള്ളതിനാൽ നമുക്ക് മൊത്തം 128 + 128 = 256 നമ്പറുകൾ സൂക്ഷിക്കാം. 0 മുതൽ +127 വരെയും 0 മുതൽ -127 വരെയും ആണ് നമ്പ റുകൾ. പൂജ്യം രണ്ട് സ്ഥലത്ത് ഉള്ളതിനാൽ 256 1 = 255 നമ്പ റുകൾ സൂക്ഷിക്കാം.

2) 1’s Complement Representation : ഒരു നമ്പറിന്റെ 1’s complement എടുക്കുന്നതിന് എല്ലാ കളേയും ആക്കുകയും എല്ലാ നേയും 1 ആക്കുകയും ചെയ്താൽ മതി. 1’s complement ഉപയോഗിച്ച് നെഗറ്റീവ് നമ്പറുകൾ സൂക്ഷിക്കാം. പോസിറ്റീവ് നമ്പറിന് 1’s complement ഇല്ല. ഉദാഹരണം: 21 ന്റെ 1’s complement കാണുന്നതിന് ആദ്യം +21 കണ്ടുപിടിക്കുക.
+21 → 00010101
Kerala Plus One Computer Application Question Paper June 2022 with Answers 2
1’s complement എടുക്കുന്നതിന് എല്ലാ കളും 1 ആക്കുക. എല്ലാ കളും 0 ആക്കുക.

3) 2’s Complement Representation : ഒരു നമ്പറിന്റെ 2’s complement എടുക്കുന്നതിന് ആദ്യം 1’s complement കാണുക. അതിനുശേഷം അതിന്റെ കൂടെ 1 കൂട്ടു ക. പോസിറ്റീവ് നമ്പറിന് 2’s complement ഇല്ല, നെത റ്റീവ് നമ്പറുകളെ രേഖപ്പെടുത്താനാണ് ഇത് ഉപയോഗിക്കു ന്നത്

21 ന്റെ 2’s complement കാണുന്നതിന് ആദ്യം അതിന്റെ 1’s complement കാണുക. അതിനുശേഷം 1 കൂട്ടുക. +21= 0 0010101
21 ൻ്റെ 1’s complement = 111 01 010
ഇതിന്റെ കൂടെ 1 കൂട്ടുക.

21 ൻ്റെ 2’s complement 11101011

Question 21.
Draw a figure showing the functional units of a computer system.
Answer:

Answer:
Even though she can’t see, she can still hear their voices. By listening to the direction of the sounds, she can figure out where they are. This shows us how important our senses are, especially when one of them isn’t working. Our ears can help us understand our surroundings even when our eyes are closed.

Question 15.
Do we give enough care to protect the ear, the organ that helps us to hear? What should we do in these situations?
Magic of Senses Notes Questions and Answers Class 5 Basic Science Chapter 7 Kerala Syllabus 8
Is the grandfather’s advice correct? What should we do in such situations?
Answer:
Do not follow treatment methods without a scientific basis when we can access the service of healthcare professionals directly or over the phone. Use medicines in the ear only according to the instructions of the healthcare professionals. Self-treatment is dangerous. This can even lead to loss of hearing. Water getting inside the ear can cause injury or infection to the ear. This may lead to ear ache and even loss of hearing.

Question 16.
What should we be careful about to avoid such problems?
Answer:

Don’t put any objects such as pencil, pen, matchstick, safety pin, etc., into the ear.
Consult a Doctor: Always consult a doctor or healthcare professional for any ear-related problems.
Avoid Self-Medication: Do not use any medications or home remedies without a doctor’s prescription.
Keep Ears Dry: After swimming or bathing, dry your ears thoroughly with a clean towel.
Avoid Using Cotton Swabs: Using cotton swabs can push earwax deeper into the ear canal, leading to blockage and infection.
Wear Earplugs: Wear earplugs when swimming or showering to prevent water from entering the ear canal.
Practice Good Hygiene: Keep your ears clean by washing them gently with soap and water.

Question 17.
Look at the picture.
Magic of Senses Notes Questions and Answers Class 5 Basic Science Chapter 7 Kerala Syllabus 9

What is the reason for loss of smell when you have a cold?
Answer:
The cold is a condition when the moistness of the nose is produced in excess amounts when there is a viral infection. This will obstruct the nasal passage. So, the odour particles will not reach the cells that help to recognise the smell. That is why we don’t recognise smells when we have a cold.

Question 18.
Does smell also help ¡n understanding the surroundings like sight and hearing? Write your opinion in your Science Diary.
Answer:
Yes, smell can help us understand our surroundings, just like sight and hearing. It can help us:

Identify dangers: Like smelling smoke from a fire or spoiled food.
Recognize places: Certain smells remind us of specific places. like the ocean or a bakery.
Enjoy food: Smell helps us know if food is good or bad.
Remember things: Smells can trigger memories.

So, while it might not be as strong as sight or hearing, smell is still important for our everyday lives.

Question 19.
What should we be careful of to protect the nose?
Answer:

Do not put any objects inside the nose.
Don’t blow your nose forcefully.
Avoid irritants: Stay away from smoke, dust, and strong chemicals.
Wash your hands: This helps prevent germs from entering your nose.
Blow your nose gently: Don’t blow too hard, as it can irritate your nasal passages.
Moisturize: Use a saline nasal spray to keep your nose moist.
Protect from injury: Wear a helmet or face mask during sports or activities that could cause injury.
Avoid picking your nose: This can irritate the delicate lining of your nose and lead to infection.

Question 20.
Secretion particles from the nose and mouth are likely to fall on other people’s bodies while we sneeze or cough. What should be done to avoid this?
Answer:

Cover the mouth and nose with a clean handkerchief.
Don’t use the handkerchief used by others.
Cough or sneeze into your elbow: If you don’t have a tissue, cough or sneeze into the crook of your elbow instead of your hands. This helps contain the germs.
Wash your hands: After sneezing or coughing, wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. If soap and water aren’t available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
Stay home when you’re sick: If you’re feeling unwell, especially with a cough or cold, stay home to avoid spreading germs to others.

Question 21.
Did you see the different food items in the picture? Do they all taste the same? When is it possible to sense the true taste of food? When is it well chewed or not? Why?
Answer:
Different foods taste different. To truly taste food, we need to chew it well. Chewing breaks down food, releases flavors, and helps us taste better. We sense tastes when it is dissolved in saliva and stimulates the taste buds.

Question 22.
List the tastes of the food you consume in a day.
Answer:

Food	Taste
Lime pickle	Sour
Ripe mango	Sweet
Bitter gourd curry	Bitter
Candy	Sweet
Chips, salty sauces	Salty

Question 23.
Does the tongue help only in tasting? What are the other functions of the tongue?
Answer:
The tongue does more than just taste. Here are some of its other important functions:

Chewing and Swallowing: The tongue helps to move food around the mouth, making it easier to chew and swallow.
Speaking: It’s a key muscle for forming words and sounds.
Breathing: The tongue helps keep the airway open.
Cleaning the Mouth: It helps to clean the teeth and gums.

Question 24.
What should be taken care of for the health of the tongue?
Answer:

Don’t eat extremely hot or cold food.
Don’t forcefully clean the tongue with a tongue cleaner.
Drink plenty of water to keep your mouth and tongue moist.
Limit your intake of acidic foods, spicy foods, and alcohol, as they can irritate your tongue.
Regular dental check-ups can help identify any potential issues with your tongue.
Brush your teeth twice a day and floss daily.

Question 25.

Magic of Senses Notes Questions and Answers Class 5 Basic Science Chapter 7 Kerala Syllabus 10
Could you recognise all the objects? How were they recognised? What all features can be recognised through touch? Which organ helped you in this?
Answer:
We were not able to recognise all the objects. By feeling the shape, texture, and temperature of each object, we could make a guess. The skin is the organ that helps us to recognise objects by touch.

Question 26.
What should we be careful of in protecting the skin? Add more instructions and write them in your Science Diary.
Answer:

We should keep the skin clean.
We should drink sufficient water.
We should include leafy vegetables and fruits in our diet that help in the health of the skin.
Avoid harsh soaps and hot water, which can strip your skin of natural oils.
Wear protective clothing like hats, sunglasses, and long-sleeved shirts.

Question 27.
Let us conduct an interview with a healthcare professional to know more about the functioning and protection of sense organs. Prepare a questionnaire by including all your doubts. What should be included in the questionnaire?

The devastating flood in 2018 followed by the series of landsides in 2019 in Kerala was indeed surprising. More surprising was the courage and determination shown by the people of Kerala in both the rescue operations and the rehabilitation activities. All the people, forgetting all disparities and differences, plunged into action with a spirited sense of unity.

Needless to say, this great event is an exemplification of the age old saying, ‘Unity is strength’. What else have we learnt from this? Undoubtedly, the Law of Nature. Yes, before Nature all are equal, irrespective of caste, creed, colour, religion, region, money, etc. All the walls built by man – ‘high or low’, ‘strong or weak’, ‘costly or cheap’ – were collapsed by Nature within seconds.

But alas! Even after learning the good lesson, man has started repairing and rebuilding those broken walls! He goes on sticking to the convertional saying, ‘Good fences make good neighbours’. Herein lies the irony. Modern man has knowledge. He has discretion. But unfortunately he is not ready to apply them in real life!

Question 25.
Imagine you are a TV reporter. Now you are standing at La Villette. Le Horla is about to take off. Prepare a live report of the event.
Answer:
Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Today is the day, 8^th July, for Le Horla is taking off from La Villette. We are right in front of Le Horla, the hot air balloon. It is getting filled up and is swelling and wriggling like a huge worm. It is surrounded by some 300 enthusiastic people. Now the passengers are getting in. The Captain is Jovis. The others in the basket attached to the balloon are Lieutenant Mallet, M. Etierine Beer, M. Paul Bessand, and M. Patrice Eyries. I see them talking animatedly. Now Patrice Eyries is coming down. It seems he can’t go because the balloon can’t take the weight of all of them. He walks away dejectedly. Poor guy! All his dream of an adventure is gone!

M. Joliet tells the ladies to keep off. When the balloon lifts sand will be thrown into their hats. He cuts the ropes that hold the balloon to the ground. Look! Le Horla is lifting upward, like a bird lifts off. Up, up and up goes the balloon! People scream with joy! Le Horla climbs above the city of Paris and it is slowly disappearing! The sight of the earth from the balloon will be fantastic. We wish the passengers a lot of luck!

Question 26.
‘Compassion’ is the attitude of sharing the sufferings of others.
No doubt, Hasan in an embodiment of compassion. What other qualities does he have?
Analyze the character of Hasan.
Answer:
Hasan was the serang of Ranaganji, a passenger ship sailing to Calcutta with nearly 1500 passengers. The Chief Physician on the ship was A.J. Cronin. When Cronin reported to the captain of the ship that two lascar deck hands had small pox, Hasan volunteered to nurse them. He made a shelter in the stern of the ship into which the infected persons were removed. Later there were more people and the number of the sick went up to 14. When two sick men who were Hindus died, Hasan sewed their shrouds and read loud a short passage from the Ramayana, although he himself was a devout Muslim. It showed his religious tolerance. Their bodies were cast overboard. When the ship reached Colombo, the sick men were taken to the hospital and Hasan was in the forefront to help them, although some of them were with running sores of smallpox. Normally no one would dare to do such things because small pox used to be such a killer disease. Hasan is a good example for a selfless, courageous, and sacrificing person and it is hard to find such people who will risk their life to save others.

Question 27.
‘Money like vodka can play queer tricks with a man’, says Ivan in ‘Goosberries’. Here money is compared to liquor. Like liquor, money makes a man play strange tricks. This is what we see in the present society. Modern man grows more and more selfish and greedy day to day. In order to make more money, he is ready to play any foul game. Unforunately he forgets the fact that money is one of the important things in life, not the only important thing.

What do you think about this situation? Prepare a blog, analysing your thoughts.
Answer:
I do agree that money is one of the important things in life, but certainly it is not the only important thing. It is not money that makes things work. Many things are done because of people’s firm determination and hard work. Many of the big events that have happened in the world, big changes that have come through, didn’t happen just through money.

When Mahatma Gandhi started the freedom struggle he didn’t do it because he had a lot of money. It is one’s vision that takes him along. Money has its role to play, but I surely don’t think money is everything. Money provides a man all necessities, comforts, amenities and luxuries. But money alone will not bring him happiness and contentment. Many wealthy people have committed suicide. Marilyn Monroe, Guru Dutt and Meena Kumari – all of them very popular, successful and rich film actors. There are things other than money which can raise a person higher in life.

A billionaire with an empty heart is worse than a poor man with a compassionate heart. Beyond money, there are things like love, sweet manners, sympathy and high esteem. A sincere, honest and dependable person is more contented and happy in life than a rich, heartless man.

Many famous and well-loved people like poets, artists, statesmen and philosophers lived and died in poverty but with contentment. They are still remembered and honoured for their great work. Nobody carries any money with him when he departs from this world. What go with him are the good deeds he had done while he was alive.

Question 28.
We can see some parents giving tab or mobile phone to their little children, just to make them eat a crumb of food. Is this kind of parenting good?

Attempt a write up on good parenting in the light of the stray ‘His First Flight’.
Answer:
We often see parents giving a tab or a mobile phone for their children just to make them eat a little food. This is very wrong. Children need not be ‘bribed’ to eat food. If they are hungry they will eat. Does any mother give a bribe to her small infant who is hungry? The infant informs its mother that it is hungry by crying and the mother feeds it.

In the story “His First Flight” by Liam O’Flaherty we see a good example of fine parenting. Here we see how the mother of a young sea gull who was afraid to fly out of its nest is persuaded by her to venture out. Even when the young seagull saw his brothers and sister running to the end of the ledge, flapping their wings and flying away, he did not have the courage to follow them. His father and mother shouted at him and threatened to starve him. But he was not ready to leave his nest and fly out.

Then the mother knew what to do. She knew the young seagull was starving. She sat on a plateau which could be reached only by flying. There she sat and started tearing a piece of fish at her feet. The sight of the food maddened the hungry young seagull. He made a low sound as if begging his mother to give him a piece. But the mother also made a low sound, showing she heard the cry but did not come near the nest. Then he cried ‘ga, ga, ga’. The mother screamed back at him, mocking him. His mother picked up a piece of fish and flew towards him. He was happy and was hoping to get his food.

But the mother did not come to the nest but stood a little far, in mid air, tempting the young seagull to venture out. Maddened by anger he dived at the fish. With a loud scream he fell outwards and downwards into the space. He was terrified for a moment and his heart froze. The next moment he felt his wing spreading outwards. He felt the wind under his stomach and against his wings. He was flying. He was no longer afraid. He flapped his wings and soared upwards. His parents and his siblings joined him in his joyful ‘ga-ga-ga-ga-ga’ noise. He had his first flight. Parents should help the children to be self-reliant.

Atrocities Against Women

Atrocities against women are nothing new in India. There was the heinous practice of Sati where a woman had to burn herself jumping into the funeral pyre of her husband. How cruel a custom that was!
If the woman refused to jump, people would push her into the burning pyre. It was due to the efforts of Raja Ram Mohan Roy that Lord William’ Bentick abolished the Sati system in 1829.

But cruelty to women is continuing on a daily basis. We all thought there would be an end to the atrocities against women after the Nirbhaya case of 2012. It involved the rape and fatal assault that occurred on 16 December 2012 in Munirka, a neighbourhood in South Delhi. The incident took place when a 23 – year – old female physiotherapy intern was beaten, gang-raped, and tortured in a private bus in which she was travelling with her male friend. There were six men who were convicted in the case. One died in jail. One was a minor. The other 4 were hanged in Tihar jail on 20 March 2020. It took 8 years to hang these men. I feel they should have been hanged long ago.

We hear almost every day women getting killed mostly by their frustrated lovers. I don’t understand
how a real lover can bum, stab or hang a girl or woman he has loved. Naturally it is not love behind those heinous crimes. It is mere lust. People become blind with lust and they kill the object of their lust.

Ours is a patriarchal society. We should empower our women through education and employment. Boys and girls, men and women should be taught the importance of the equality of sexes. There are laws in the country against atrocities against women but they are not enforced. Even in the case of Nirbhaya, justice was delayed. Justice delayed is justice denied.

Reading the story ‘Conceptual Fruit’ you become more to the thoughts and feeling of the children with special needs. You also become aware of the importance of inclusive education. Express your thoughts and feelings to one of your friends studying abroad, through an e-mail.
Answer:
Svetlana@gmail.com

Dearest Svetlana, I hope you and your family are fine. Last time when you wrote to me you said about a friend of yours who was differently-abled.

Today I want to tell you about a story I read. There is this girl named Greta. She is a differently-abled girl. She goes to a special school. She is 16, but is at a much lower class than her younger brother. She could tie her shoes only by the age of 10. Still she has some desires. She wants to have a big house. She loves peaches. She also loves cats. Her father is quite a loving father. He tries hard to make his daughter happy. He can’t buy her a real house. Instead he makes her a house on the cyberspace. Greta wants a blue bowl in every room. She wants peaches in the kitchen and living room and all the bedrooms. She wants 11 windows covered with sheer white curtains. She has a kitchen, a dining room, a living room, a bedroom for a cat. Her mother and brother are not so understanding and compassionate like her father. As the girl and the father make their plans for the house they make eyes to mean that he is just wasting his time. Greta is happy with her imaginary house. The father hopes and prays that one day Greta may live in a house of her dreams! I felt moved by the emotions of the loving father.

Hope you are keeping well. Write back to me at your earliest.

Lovingly,
Job

Question 31.
Next to food, bloodshed caused byroad accidents is the greatest disaster in Kerala. If flood occurs occasionally, accidents occur frequently. No day passes without an accident in the state. Kerala witnessed a higher to road accidents in 2018 than in previous years.
Write an eassy on howto avoid road accidents. (Hints : Road accidents – man – made disaster – mostly human error – loss of lives serious injuries – ways to avoid – traffic rules – strict action by police, etc.)
Answer:

INCREASING ROAD ACCIDENS IN KERALA

Next to floods and landslides, road accidents are the biggest disaster in Kerala. Major floods and landslides come only once or twice in a century but road accidents kill and maim people every day. Kerala had a higher number of road accidents in 2018 than in the previous years.

Road accidents are mainly man-made disasters. They happen mostly due to human error. Road accidents cause unnecessary loss of lives, serious injuries and financial losses to people. In 2018 there were 40181 road accidents in Kerala killing 4303 people. Why so many accidents and deaths? There are many reasons. One reason is the bad condition of our roads, which are full of potholes and are unmarked. The next reason is the bad condition of the vehicles. Very old and un-roadworthy vehicles are driven on the roads. A third reason is the reluctance of the drivers to obey the laws. Drivers drive without wearing seat belts, and two-wheeler riders ride without wearing helmets.

Some of the people, especially the youth, drive at breakneck speed, not worrying about the speed-limits. Another reason is the corruption by the law-enforcement agencies. People get driving licenses by bribing. When people are caught for offences like over¬speeding, not wearing seat belts or helmets, they bribe the officials and get away with it. This disaster on our roads must be stopped. Let there be good roads, which are properly marked. Let the law- enforcement agencies strictly enforce the law and punish the offenders severely. Severe punishment will make the public think twice before they break the law. The roadworthiness of the vehicles must also be regularly checked. Above all, there should be awareness programmes to educate the people- about the need to use the road safely.

Question 32.
It is not surprising that this astonishingly vital man, full of self-confidence and an unusual kind of power, standing for quality and freedom for every individual, fascinated the masses of India and attracted them like a magnet.
Prepare a speech on the sublime qualities of the man mentioned above, to be delivered in a Function planned in your school in connection with Gandhi Jayanthi Celebration.
Answer:
My dear friends,
As you all know, today we are celebrating Gandhi Jayanthi. We are proud that a man like Gandhiji was born in India and he is our Father of the Nation. Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi was born in Porbandar in Gujarat on October 2, 1869. He was educated in law at University College, London. In 1891, after having been admitted to the British bar, Gandhi returned to India and attempted to establish a law practice in Bombay. Two years later he went to Durban, South Africa, as a legal advisor. Arriving in Durban, Gandhi found himself treated as a member of an inferior race. He was appalled at the widespread denial of civil liberties and political rights to Indian immigrants to South Africa. He threw himself into the struggle for elementary rights for Indians. Later he returned to India and fought for India’s freedom which finally came on 15 August 1947.

Gandhi is man of peace. He always advocated non-violence. He was known for his fearlessness. That is why he could fight with a mighty power like the British. He was always guided by truthfulness. He influenced millions of people in India in varying degrees. Some changed completely; others were affected only partly. Different people reacted differently and each one had his own answer about the change. His call for action was two-fold. One involved in challenging and resisting foreign rule. The other was fighting against our own social evils. His principal aims were freedom through peaceful means, national unity, solution of minority problems, improvement of the depressed classes and the ending of untouchability.

Gandhi was not just a national figure but an international one. In 1948 he was killed by a fanatic named Nathuram Godse. When he died, Nehru said that ‘The light has gone’ away from India’. On the 70^th birthday of Gandhiji, in 1939, this is what Albert Einstein said about him: “Generations to come, it may be, will scarce believe that such a one as this, ever in flesh and blood, walked upon this earth.

As we celebrate Gandhi Jayanthi, we us pledge that we will follow the path of peace, fearlessness, truthfulness and tolerance which guided Ganhiji all his life. That is the greatest tribute we can pay him. Jai Hind!

Question 33.
In the poem “If”, Rudyard Kipling describs the qualities of an ideal person. How far do you agree with him? What are your attributes of an ideal person? Prepare an article on ‘The Qualities of an Ideal Person’.
Answer:
He should not lose his head, even when others around him have lost theirs. He has to trust himself when all people doubt him. He should wait and shouldn’t be tired of waiting. When people tell him lies, he should not follow their example. People may hate him but he should not hate them. He should not try to look too good and try to talk too wise.

He should dream, but should not make dreams his master. He should think but shouldn’t make thoughts his aim. He should view Success and Failure equally. Even when the results of his hard work are destroyed, he should get ready to build them. He should not tell others about his tosses. He should persevere, always being optimistic. He should keep talking with the crowds but maintain his virtue. He can walk with kings but shouldn’t lose the common touch. Neither his friends nor his enemies should be able to hurt him. All men should be able to count on his help. He should forgive people who have offended him. If he can do all these things the Earth and everything in it is his and he will then be a man.

Question 34.
Read the poem given below and write a critical appreciation of it:
Wind o nthe Hill
No one can tell me
Nobody knows,
Where the wind comes from,
Where the wind goes.

It’s flying from somewhere
As fast as it can,
I couldn’t keep up with it,
Not if I ran.

But if I stopped holding
The string of my kite,
It would blow with the wind
Fora day and a night.

And then when I found it,
Wherever it below,
I should know that the wind
Had been going there too.

So then I could tell them
Where the wind goes …………….
But where the wind comes from
Nobody knows.
-A.A Milne
Answer:
“Wind on the Hill” by A. A. Milne contains the thoughts of a child-like narrator. The poem begins with the speaker wondering over the origin and destination of the wind. No one can tell him where the wind comes from or where it goes. It is flying from somewhere and it is flying very fast. He could not catch up with the wind even if he ran as fast as he could. But he has a technique of knowing the direction of the wind. He is holding a kite. If he stopped holding the string of the kite, it would blow with the wind for tong. When he finds it later lying somewhere he will know over which all places the wind blew. Then he can tell others where the wind was going but he can’t say where it came from.

The poem has profound thoughts. Although the narrator is a child, he speaks like a learned philosopher. Like the wind, many of us may not know how certain things originate although we know where and how they end. Love is like wind. We don’t how it begins but we do know where it is going. The language of the poem is very simple. It is a 5-stanza poem in rhyme. The rhyming scheme is abcb. It as a fine rhythm that mimics the blowing of the wind. The imagery of superb. The kite flying along with the wind makes a lively picture. The poem reminds us the statement in the Gospel of John, Chapter 3, Verse 8: “The wind blows where it chooses, and you hear the sound of it, but you do not know where it comes from or where it goes.”

Question 13.
Write a character sketch of ‘Maggie’ in the story The Price of Flowers’.
Answer:
Maggie’s full name is Full name Alice Margaret Clifford. She is a young English girl. She is 13 or 14 years of age. When we see her first she is wearing poor clothes showing she is very poor. Her hair hung in a heavy stream down her back. She had large eyes with a sad expression. She works in a shop close the restaurant where she met the writer. She goes to the restaurant only on Saturdays because Saturday is pay day.

Maggie is a hardworking girl. She lives with her old mother in a small house. Her only brother Francis is in the army and he is in India. She loves her brother very much and he too loves her. She loves her mother. ’ She nurses her when she is sick. She is superstitious.

That is why she believes in the story told by her brother that by looking into the crystal ring one could see people who are far and what they are doing, if one thinks of them and looks into the ring carefully. She is very disciplined. She has polite manners and this is clearly shown in her behaviour. Maggie is ambitious and she is not happy with her work in the shop. She says it is a mechanical job. She wants to do a job where her brain can be used. When she gets a better job she will rent o a better house and take here mother there. It shows much she cares for her mother. When her mother is in a critical condition she even asks Mr. Gupta to tell her mother a lie about her brother so that the mother feels better by hearing that her son is alive and well in India.

Maggie is a very fine girl. She wants Mr. Gupta to go to the grave of her brother who is buried in India and gives one shilling to him. A shilling is a lot of money for a poor girl like her. To get that, she has to work hard for many days. Her action shows how much she loved her brother. Her sacrifice brings tears to the eyes of Mr. Gupta and we too are moved to tears when we see such selfless love of a teenage girl for her dead brother. I can easily say that Maggie is a model for girls of her age.

Question 17.
Imagine you are a lady reporter allowed to report the rituals of the women on the Island of Kadavu. Draft a live – TV report.
Answer:
I am reporting from the village of Namuana, on the island of Kadavu in Fiji. All the maidens of the village have assembled near the shore. They sing a strange chant. As they chant I can see giant turtles rising one by one on the surface listening to the music. The strange thing is that if any member of the nearby village of Nabukelevu is present, then the turtles will not rise to the surface or the bay and the turtle calling has to be abandoned. There is a reason for that. This ritual is known as “calling turtles from the sea”. This ritual is based on a legend. Many years ago, in the beautiful village of Namuana, on the Island of Kadavu, there lived a beautiful princess named Tinaicoboga. She was the wife of the chief of Namuana. She had a charming daughter named Raudalice. The two women often went fishing on the reefs around their home.

Once they went farther than usual. A group of fishermen from the nearby village of Nabukelevu came and caught the two women. They tied their hands and feet and threw them into their canoe. The women begged for their release. But the cruel fishermen did not pay any attention to their pleas.

But the sea gods were kind. They sent a storm and the canoe was tossed about by the waves. The men then saw the two women had turned into turtles. To save their lives, the men threw the turtles into the sea. Immediately the weather changed and there were no more waves. The two women who became „ turtles lived on in the water of the bay. It is their descendants who rise from water when they hear the chant of the women.

You may not believe the truth of the legend. But the Fijians believe it.

Question 18.

I want to be a Lecturer so that I can use my head, and do brain work. In the present circumstances to become a lecturer I should have at least a post graduate degree. It is not enough just to pass the postgraduate degree examination. I should have a minimum of Second Class. Having a B.Ed or M.Ed will add to my chances of becoming a Lecturer. To get all these qualifications I have to work very hard.’ This is a time of high competition and jobs are not easy to get. If one wants to be a Lecturer in a prestigious college, one ought to be extra brilliant. Apart from my academic qualifications I also should be well equipped with General Knowledge and ability to speak English very well as English is the medium of instruction at the tertiary level. By becoming a Lecturer I can guide the students not only to get their degrees but also to become good people with sympathy and empathy.

Question 20.
Then, he completely forgot that he had not always, been able to fly and commenced to dive and soar, shrinking shrilly.”
The young sea gull goes through a wide range of emotions and feelings before and after his first flight. Write a paragraph on the various feelings that he experienced before and after his first flight.
Answer:
The young seagull was feeling very hungry. There was, no food around. He had searched everywhere. He then ran back and forth from one end of the ledge to the other end. He wanted to reach his parents without having to fly. But between him and his parents there was the deep wide crack – the vast sea. He saw his mother tearing the fish at her feet and the sight of food maddened him. He cried ‘ga- ga-ga’ begging his mother to bring him some food. She screamed back mockingly at him. Then he saw his mother flying towards him with a piece of fish. He was very happy. But she halted a little away from him. He waited for a moment for her to come near. He was mad with anger. Then he dived at the fish his mother was holding. With a loud scream he fell outwards and downwards into space. He was terrified for a moment and his heart froze. Then he felt his wings spreading outwards. He was not falling now. He was flying. He was no longer afraid. He just felt a little dizzy. Then he flapped his wings and soared upwards. He started diving and soaring making loud noises of joy.

Question 21.
Gupta, on returning to India, narrates his experience of meeting Maggie and her family in London, to his friends. Write the narration for Mr. Gupta.
Answer:
When I was in London, in a restaurant I met a young girl named Alice Margaret Clifford, called Maggie. She is a poor girl and lives with her mother in a very small house in a crowded area. She works as a typist. She was happy to know that I was an Indian. I visited her and her mother in their house. Maggie’s brother Frank! who was in the British army died in India. She wanted me to place some flowers on the grave of her brother. She asked so many questions about India and Indians. She has heard that Indians have magic powers and there are snakes and tigers everywhere. She has also heard that there are dangerous fevers in India which kill many people. When I was about to return to India, she gave me a shilling to buy flowers to place at the grave of her brother. She had worked hard to earn that shilling. I took the money because if I refused to take it, I would be depriving her of the joy of sacrifice.

Question 22.
Deeds speak louder than words. Good deeds will be remembered forever. Justify this statement.
Answer:
Deeds do speak louder than words. Good deeds will be remembered forever. We can see this very clearly in the story “The Best Investment I ever Made” which we studied in our English Text for our SSLC.

Dr Cronin was on a voyage back from New York. On the second day, he noticed that one of the passengers was closely watching him. He ignored him as he wanted to take rest. On the following forenoon, the man with his wife was seen again earnestly watching him. This time Dr. Cronin also had some interest to know about the person and his intention. In the beginning Dr. Cronin could not recognize him. But when he said something in his ears, he recognized the man and his thoughts went back to an incident that happened 25 years ago. Once a police sergeant approached Dr. Cronin and requested him to attend a suicide case. Dr. Cronin examined the young man who tried to commit suicide and found his condition was very pathetic. After an hour’s hard work with the help of the sergeant and the landlady of the lodge, Dr. Cronin could bring him back to life.

The man told them his pathetic story. His name was John, and he was an orphan. His uncle found him a job in the town. Soon he began to lead a loose life, and gambled to find money for pleasures of life. He lost everything and stole some money from his office. Being afraid of the prosecution, in great despair and anguish, he resolved to end his life. Having heard John’s story, they decided to help him. Dr. Cronin gave him seven pounds and ten shilling to put back in the office safe. For John, it was like a second life. He determined to change in life and to make a fresh start. He later became a great social worker.

Question 23.
A.J. Cronin returns home after his voyage in Ranagangi. He later makes a courtesy call to Hassan. Write the telephone conversations.
Answer:
Cronin: Hello, is that Hasan, the serang of Ranaganji?
Hasan : Hello, Yes, this is Hasan, the serang of, Ranaganji. May I know who is speaking?
Cronin : I am Cronin, who was the physician on Ranaganji.
Hasan : Oh my God, Dr. Cronin! You were such a great physician. Without your help many more would have died of the smallpox.
Cronin : More than me, it was you who helped the sick. Without your active support, I could have done nothing to solve the problems there.
Hasan : Thank you, Sir, for the good words and remembering me. I just did my duty. Thank God, I got a chance to serve my brethren.
Cronin: You did much more than your duty. I was so happy to find you sponging the patients and giving them medicines, for disinfecting their clothes and preparing meals for them. I was greatly impressed when I found you reading a passage from the Ramayana sitting before the dead bodies. I knew that you were not a Hindu, but you had the magnanimity to read from the Ramayana for the sake of the Hindus that had died.
Hasan : I believe in humanity. To me God is Love. Where there is no love, there is no God. When I love others and serve them I am serving God. And I feel happy that I could be of service to people.
Cronin : It is a great thought, Hasan. May all the people think like you and then there will be no fights among people in the name of religion.

Question 24.
As we stood together, I saw that the Serang’s cheeks were wet with tears.
What trait of Hassan is highlighted in this line ? Attempt a character sketch of Hassan.
Answer:
Hasan is the serang of Ranaganji.Aserang is a petty officer in a merchant ship who helps with the various matters connected with the voyage, like loading and unloading of the luggage or any such thing. He also supervises the lascars, workmen in the ship. Hasan is a man of excellent qualities We are impressed with his compassion and selfless service.

We see him first when he brings two men to the doctor. The doctor finds out they have small pox. The ship has some 1500 passengers and if they come to know that there is an outbreak of small pox in the ship, there would be panic. So Hasan builds a shelter for them at the back of the ship where they will not be easily seen or contacted by others. He also agrees to take care of them. The great thing about his willingness is that small pox is a contagious disease and death is almost certain if it is not cured fast enough.

He Cooks for them and takes care of them. More people, fourteen of them, are diagnosed with the disease. But Hasan serves all of them as if they were his own brothers. Hasan is silent person. The doctor collects some information about him. He had neither friends nor family in India. He is a devout Muslim. All his life he acquired nothing substantial. He was not worried about getting any reward. Here we see him following what the Gita teaches. “Work is thy duty, reward is not thy concern.” In his readiness to lay down his life for his life, he is following the advice of Jesus who said that There is no greater sacrifice than laying one’s life for his friend.” Thus in him we see the best of all religions. Love seems to be his religion. We see his greatness when we see him sewing the shroud and reading a passage from the Ramayana before casting the dead body of one of the sick persons into the water.

When the ship reaches Colombo, the sick persons with running sores were carried in the arms of Hasan. It needs real compassion to do that, knowing fully , well that small pox is a killer disease and it easily spreads through contact. Hasan impresses me as a really great man. In my mind he is not just a serang but a sage.

Question 25.
To sleep’ by William Wordsworth describes the poet’s difficulty in falling asleep.
How does he describe his experience of a sleepless night ? Write a short essay.
Answer:
The poem To sleep’ by William Wordsworth, who is known as the high priest of Nature, is an exquisite poem that presents to us some of the finest sights, sounds and movements of Nature. We can see a flock of sheep leisurely passing by one after one; we can the sound of rain and the murmuring of bees. We can hear the fall of rivers, winds and seas. We can see the smooth fields, white sheets of water and pure sky. We also hear the melodies of small birds coming from the orchard trees. We hear the cuckoo’s melancholy cry.

The poet can’t sleep. Maybe he is worried about the bad things happened during the past. In fact he has not slept for a couple of days and this makes him all the more worried. If he does not sleep he won’t be able to enjoy the wonderful sights and sounds of the morning. Sleep brings fresh thoughts and joyous health.

Question 26.
The UN has declared Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam’s birthday, October 15th, as World
Student’s day. Prepare a write-up to be published in the UNESCO journal on the topic
‘Dr. Kalam’s call to the youth to become a unique you’.
Answer:
October 15 is World Students’ Day. On this occasion we want to remember the advice Abdul Kalam gave the students.

Kalam tells students to be unique. He says that the world around you wants you to be like others. At home, you parents will tell you to be like the children of the neighbours. At school the teacher will tell you to be like the first 5 rankers of the class. All the people tell you to be somebody else. But Kalam teljs you to be ‘YOU’. You should not try to be somebody else. You should not be a copycat. He says “Be you and thus you can be unique”. I think this is a wonderful idea. This will release everybody from his inferiority complex. It is when you compare yourself with others you feel inferior. Kalam wants people to be confident, self-reliant and hardworking. He wants everyone to believe he was born with some potential, ideas and dreams. Everybody is born with wings and so nobody needs to crawl because he can fly. And as he has confidence he will fly. I really enjoyed this speech and it has given me a new insight.

Question 27.
At the end of the voyage of Ranagangi the captain of the ship calls a meeting to Honour
Hassan. As the chief guest Hassan talks about the difficulties that they had successfully overcome. Draft the script of the speech.
Answer:
I am very happy to see you assembled here to honour me for the services I rendered on the ship Ranaganji. In fact our last trip to Calcutta in Ranaganji was quite eventful. It had some 1500 passengers. The voyage to Calcutta began favourably in calm, clear weather and we passed Aden without any problem. Now we were in the Arabian Sea.

To our dismay and horror we found that two of the lascars, deck hands, had small pox. They were taken to the ship’s physician, Dr. Cronin. The Captain, Mr. Hamble, asked Dr. Cronin to keep the matter a secret as the news would spread panic among the passengers. As I was the Serang of Ranaganji, Dr Cronin told me about it. I told him not to worry. I made a shelter in the stern of the ship into which the infected patients were moved. I volunteered to nurse them without worrying about my safety. Later more workers were diagnosed with small pox. There were 14 of them altogether. I had a hard time taking care of them. I had to sponge the patients and give them medicines, disinfect their clothes and prepare meals for them. I did not complain. In fact I thanked God for giving me the chance to work for my sick brethren.

The big problem was when two men died. They were Hindus. I am a Muslim. But I sewed their shrouds and read loud a short passage from Ramayana. I then cast the bodies overboard at midnight. It was a difficult job to do, but I did it with all my heart. When the ship reached Colombo, I took the leadership and moved the patients to the hospital. I am really happy that I could do all these things for my brethren. I believe that all human beings are brothers and sisters and we ought to help one another in their needs.

I thank you for organizing this function. I will do my best and continue serving people.
May God bless us all!

Question 30.
The Lockdown has confined us to our homes. But it is important to be physically fit and active. Write a magazine article on the topic, The Importance of Physical Exercise for Good health’.
Answer:
The lockdown imposed on us because of the spread of Covid – 19 has made us stay home most of the time. We don’t go to schools or colleges and we can’t take part in any sports and games. We can’t even go out and walk freely on the street without wearing masks. Most of us are confined to our homes. We must have enough physical exercise to keep ourselves physically and mentally fit.

There is a proverb which says health is wealth. If we are not healthy, we cannot lead a happy life. Unless we do regular exercises, all kinds of diseases will attack us. Exercise has a lot of benefits. It helps in maintaining our weight. When we exercise we burn the extra calories in our body. Exercises help us in developing our muscles. They help in improving the oxygen level and blood flow of the body.

When we exercise regularly our brain gets refreshed. To understand things properly and to retain what we learn we should have a fresh and receptive brain. Exercises prevent common diseases like diabetes, high blood cholesterol, and high or low blood’ pressure. There is a saying in English, “When wealth is lost, nothing is lost but when health-is lost something is lost and when character is lost everything is lost. We can have a good character only if we have good health. Unhealthy persons are prone to anger, depression and despair. They hate themselves and also others around them. So let’s make sure that we keep our body and mind healthy by regular exercises.

Question 31.
Your younger brother is at your aunts house. Write a letter to him giving him tips on growing up to – become a good man. You may refer to the ideas from the poem ‘If by Rudyard Kipling.
Answer:
XV/19, Azad Road
Irinjalakuda
12 November 2021

Dearest brother,
I am sure that you are spending your time quite happily at our aunt’s place. Do you regularly go to the river that flows near aunt’s house to catch fish?

I used to do that when I was there.
Well, I thought of writing this letter to you because I happened to read a poem “If”.

The poem ‘If is written by Rudyard Kipling. Kipling is an English short-story writer, poet and novelist. He is chiefly known for his stories and poems about the British soldiers in India. He also wrote stories for children.

In the poem a father tells his son how to be happy and how to be a perfect man. So many conditions have to be fulfilled if one is become perfect man. He should not lose his head, even when others around him have lost theirs. He has to trust himself when all people doubt him. He should wait and shouldn’t be tired of waiting. When people tell him lies, he should not follow their example. People may hate him but he should not hate them. He should not try to look too good and try to talk too wise.

I thought the poem is a very good one as it gives us tips on growing up to become good persons.

Say Hi to Aunt, Uncle and Rosy. Tell them I will be there for Christmas. Aunt’s mutton biriyani is superb. My mouth is already watering when I think of it. Daddy and Mummy send their wishes to you and all others there. Bye for now!

Yours affectionately,
George

Question 32.
“I feel ashamed to face Mrs. Clifford. So I wrote a letter to them, announcing my departure and bidding them good-bye.”
These are Gupta’s words, in the story The Price of Flowers’. Write an e-mail that
Gupta would have written to Mrs. Clifford.
Answer:
Clifford@hotmaii.com

I am writing this letter with a heavy heart. Let me first of all offer my heartfelt condolences at the sad demise of your darling son Frank. May his soul rest in peace.

When you were sick, Maggie told me that I should look into the crystal ring and tell you if Frank was doing well India. You believed that being a Hindu I could see your son in the crystal ring. I know I don’t have any such power to read crystals and predict the future of people. So when Maggie brought me the crystal ring, which you thought had magical powers, I looked into it but I could see nothing. The doctors had said that you were seriously sick mainly because of your worries about Frank who was fighting a war in India. If I told you I could not see him, it might further aggravate your situation. So I decided to tell you a lie just to help you recover from your illness. That is why I told you that I could see Frank in the ring and he was doing fine. I am sure God will forgive me for telling a lie because my intention was your welfare. Mrs, Clifford, please forgive me. As you know, births and deaths are not in our hands. The Lord Almighty decides things and we can’t help. Somehow we have to accept our fate and overcome our sorrow.

Say Hi to Maggie. I will be coming again to England next month and then I will be visiting you.

Bye for now!
Gupta

Question 33.
You visited a hill station during your Summer holidays. Write a travel essay to be published in your school magazine about the place you visited.
[Hints: Description of the place, Journey there and back, climate, historical importance, special attractions etc.]
Answer:
A Visit to the Hill Station Ooty

Ooty Is a popular Hill Station. It is located 86 km north of Coimbatore and 128 km south of Mysore. Ooty is the capital of Nilgiri district. The total aerial distance from Trichur to Ooty is only 111 kilometres but the driving distance is 223 km as the roads are often not straight. We travelled by a luxury coach which had facilities for music and films. The time for travel is around 5 hours. We left Thrissur at 2.00 a.m. and we reached Ooty by 7.00. We had our breakfast in an excellent restaurant.

After breakfast we went to the Government Rose Garden. It has one of the largest collections of roses in the country. It has more than 20,000 varieties of roses. We were thrilled to have seen so many varieties. After visiting the Rose Garden, we proceeded to the Ooty Botanical Gardens. It is lush green and it is carefully maintained. There was a Flower Show there. We saw rare species of plants and flowers. The Botanical Garden has nearly a thousand species of plants. Some of them are exotic. The various shrubs, ferns, trees and bonsai plants captivated our hearts and minds.

Our lunch was in a 5-star hotel where different types cuisine were available. We could choose Indian, Chinese or Continental Meals. I took Chinese Meal. It was yummy, so to say. After lunch we went to the Deer Sanctuary, located on the edge of the Ooty Lake. It has different species of deer and other animals. We then proceeded for a boating in the Pykara Lake. There we saw the Kamaraj Sagar Dam which is a picnic spot and also a film shoot location. We then went for our supper which was a light one. At 7.30 we boarded the coach and by 12.30 we were back in Trichur. It was a wonderful experience.

Question 34.
Almost all children have access to phones and internet in present times. But these sometimes do more harm than good. Write a letter to the Editor of a newspaper on the ‘Advantages and disadvantages .of Internet use by children’.
Answer:
Aisha Mehboob

The Editor

Kochi

Dear Sir,

USE OF MOBILE PHONES AND THE INTERNET BY CHILDREN

During the days when educational institutions were closed because of the outbreak of the Covid – 19 Pandemic, even LKG and UKG children were using Mobile Phones and the Internet as they could not go to schools. Nobody disputes the benefits of the mobile phone and the Internet for their educational and entertainment value. A life without these has become almost unimaginable. When the schools and colleges were closed children had no choice except to use mobile phones and the internet because of the digital classes. But constant use of these facilities has its own dangers.

Overuse of the mobiles phones and the internet makes children addicts to them. They become immersed in various games and other indecent material that are available on the internet. Curiosity makes them visit these sites and then there is the danger of their getting addicted to them. There are very dangerous games and we saw some students even committing suicide because of them. Parents are often not educated enough to know the misuses of the mobiles with internet connections. So when children are looking at the mobiles, the parents tend to think that they are learning some academic material. The kids may be playing some dangerous games or watching unsuitable things for their age. So parents have to be very cautious when they see the children spending too much time with their mobile phones and the internet.

Yours sincerely,
Aisha

Question 35.
The Sacred turtles of Kadavu’ describes the story of two women who had been attacked by outsiders. Do you think women in our society too face similar problems.
Draft the script of the speech you will deliver in your school assembly on women’s day, on the topic “Problem’s faced by women in our society”.
Answer:
Respected Principal and Teachers, and my dear friends,

Today I am going to talk on the topic “Problems Faced by Women in Our Society”. Almost every day, we hear some atrocities committed against women. Most of them are acts of revenge by desperate lover boys who even kill their girl friends if they refuse to marry them. Some boys throw acid on the faces of their girlfriends when they show their unwillingness to marry them. All this is very despicable. Such boys do not love the girls, they only have lustful desires for them. If you really love a girl, how can you think of killing her or throwing acid on her face? Love demands sacrifice and not hatred and revenge.

Another problem is dowry based killings. Recently we saw the Uthra Murder case. The man is given double life-imprisonment by the Court. But the fact remains that she is dead and her son is without the love of a mother. Uthra’s parents paid a lot of money, gold and even a car to the murderer. But he wanted more! Look at the way he killed her! By making a venomous snake bite her! This is terrible. Such an unheard of cruelty!

Then we have honour killings. If a girl marries a boy who belong to another cast or religion, her parents, siblings and relatives get angry and kill one of the newly-wed couple or even both of them. This is terrible. Love is a pure feeling and it does not worry about the person’s caste and creed. But fanatics don’t understand the meaning of love.

Dowry is a big problem in our society. All of us should fight against it. Marriage is not s sale. It is a covenant that makes a man and a woman live together for, their entire life, loving each other and caring for each other.

Let us take firm decision that we shall not give or take dowry when our time comes to get married. We should make our parents and siblings aware of the dangers of dowry.

Question 36.
Kerala has faced many disasters like floods, landslides, and epidemics in recent times.
How ever we have always overcome the crisis successfully.
Write an article to be published in the newspaper on the topic ‘Be prepared to face any disaster’.
Answer:
Be Prepared to Face Any Disaster

Kerala is called God’s Own Country. But looking at the things happening for the last 5 years, we feel like calling Kerala as the “Capital of Disasters”. In 2017 a very severe cyclonic storm named Okhi devastated many parts of Kerala affecting lakhs of people and destroying a lot of property. In 2018 we had severe floods in July and August. Official records say 483 people died, and 15 were missing. About a million people were evacuated. In 2019 also there were severe floods killing more than 120 people and destroying a lot of property because of landslides and heavy flooding.

2020 also was a bad year for us. During the heavy rainfall over the monsoon period from 1 June to mid- August 2020, all 14 districts in Kerala were badly affected with 104 dead and 40 injured. Five districts in Kerala were flooded on 7 August 2020. Then there was the Covid – 19 Pandemic killing more than 30,000 people and we are still facing risk from it. We were thinking that this year there would be no floods as in August and September we did not get too much rain. But then unexpectedly, in October, there was heavy rain causing landslides killing many people. The worst tragedy was the wiping away of an entire family of 6 people – an old lady, her son and his wife and their 3 children all of them school going girls.

Climate change has affected Kerala badly. But the people are brave and ready to face any danger. They work together as a family in times of trouble. We have been coping with all these disasters and we are still optimistic about a bright future for our “God’s Own Country”.

Question 37.
A seminar is to be conducted in your class on the topic.
The relevance of Gandhian values in the present time’.
You are one of the participants. Write the paper for the seminar.
Answer:
My dear friends,

The topic of the seminar for today is “The relevance of Gandhian values in the present time”. Gandhian values have become more relevant today as we sew people fighting in the name of religion, equality of sexes and distribution of the wealth of the country.

Gandhi once said, “The world has enough for all, but not enough to satisfy,the greed of one”. This is very true. Here we find Ambanis and Adanis, Tatas and Birlas, Dalmias and Jains, who are so rich that they own private jet planes. But in the same India we find people struggling for their meals. Many sleep on the pavements and don’t have decent clothes to wear. Gandhiji advocated simple life and if the rich listened to him, the poverty of India could be eradicated. He himself wore simple clothes and avoided luxuries of all kinds.

Gandhi preached tolerance., That is why he had to die at the hands of the fanatic Nathuram Godse. He said “Ishwar and Allah” are the same, but how many Indians would understand that kind of tolerance? Politics is now using religion to get into power. Let us not be fanatics. Let us think that all Indians are our brothers and sisters.

Gandhi was the apostle of love and peace. Let us all be faithful followers of his tenets.

Question 38.
Read the following poem and write an appreciation :
Success is counted sweetest
By those who never succeed
To comprehend a nectar
Requires sorest need.

Not one of all the purple host
Who took the flag today
Can tell the definition
So clear of victory

As he defeated dying –
On whose forbidden ear
The distant strains of triumph
Burst agonized and clear
– Emily Dickinson
Answer:
Emily Dickinson, the famous American poet, says that to those who never succeed, success is one of
the sweetest things. If you want to enjoy nectar, you should need it very badly. Only when you are very thirsty, you will enjoy a cool drink.

The people carrying the flag today can’t define the meaning of victory as clearly as those who died fighting for freedom. The victory songs the living ones play fall on the dead ears of the people clearly and agonizingly as they could not be part of the celebrations going on now. It is their sacrifice that brought victory.

It is sweet and fine lyric poem extolling the sacrifice of the people who died fighting for freedom. The freedom we enjoy today is the result of the thousands of people who fought for it. Many suffered and many were killed. It is a poem of three short quatrains. There is fine rhythm and the rhyming scheme is abcb. There are fine metaphors in the poem. The imagery is superb. We can see the victory march and hear the triumphant songs. The adjective purple brings the colour of blood, the blood of the freedom fighters. We can see the dead warriors in their graves. Although they were defeated and died in the battle, they can be happy that their progeny is enjoying freedom for which they fought and gave up their lives.

20 – 30	7
30 – 40	16
40 – 50	20
50 – 60	15
60 – 70	8

Answer:
Kerala Plus One Economics Board Model Paper 2022 with Answers Q41
Mean = \(\frac{\sum \mathrm{fx}}{\mathrm{~N}}=\frac{3040}{70}\) = 43.43
Median = \(l+\frac{\frac{N}{2}-c f}{f} \times C\)
l = lower limit of median class
Median class = \(\frac{N}{2}\)th item = \(\frac{70}{2}\) = 35
35 corresponds to cumulative frequency 47.
The class corresponding to 47 is 40 – 50, so it is the median class, we can select 40 as ‘l’.
cf is 27, frequency (f) = 20
Class interval (c) = 10
Just put the values in above mentioned equation.
Median = \(l+\frac{\frac{N}{2}-c f}{f} \times C\)
= 40 + \(\frac{35-27}{20} \times 10\)
= 40 + \(\frac{8}{20}\) × 10
= 40 + 4
= 44

Question 15.
‘His First Flight ‘ by Liam O’ Flaherty is a true parable about overcoming fears in life. Comment on the title of the story.
Answer:
The story “His First Flight” by Liam O’Flaherty is certainly a true parable about overcoming fears in life. The story is about a young seagull that is afraid to fly. He has never gone out of its nest. All his younger siblings, despite their much shorter wings, flew fearlessly while he could not gather the courage to trust his own wings. Then his mother has to tempt him with food to fly out of his nest. The story explains the importance of things like independence, courage and self- confidence. It also stresses the need for motivation to reach our goals. Necessity, they say, is the mother of invention, but it sometimes needs an initial spark from outside. The title is a very appropriate one showing the fears and anxieties of the seagull venturing into his first flight.

We have gathered here to honour Hasan, the serang of Ranaganji, who had rendered meritorious services during our voyage to Calcutta. The ship had some 1500 passengers. When we passed Aden, we found that two of the lascars, deck hands, had small pox. The matter had to be kept secret. Otherwise there would be panic among the passengers. Hasan took care of them by moving them to a shelter in the stern of the ship. Then the number of patients increased to 14. Then two men died. They were Hindus, but although Hasan was a Muslim, he sewed their shrouds and read loud a short passage from the Ramayana.

Then he cast the bodies overboard at midnight. All this Hasan did without complaining. Then when the ship reached Colombo, he took the leadership and moved the patients to the hospital. He said that he was really happy to do all those things for his brethren. He believes that all human beings are brothers and sisters and we ought to help one another in their needs. Where can we find such selfless people like Hasan, who was ready to die serving others? I am proud to introduce Hasan to all of you. May God give him a long and healthy life!

Answer any five questions from 21 to 28. Each carries 6 scores. (5 × 6 = 30)

Question 21.
Mr. Gupta as a friendly character, is ready to adjust with the need of others. Prepare the character sketch of Mr. Gupta.
Answer:
Mr. Gupta is the narrator and a character in the fine story “The Price of Flowers” by Prabhat Kumar Mukopadhyay. Mr. Gupta had gone to London. One day while taking his lunch he saw a young girl watching him with interested surprise. She was a poor girl. After eating, when she paid the bill she asked the cashier if Mr. Gupta was an Indian. Mr. Gupta then asked the cashier who the girl was. The cashier knew nothing much about her and told him that the girl came to eat there on Saturdays as Saturday was the pay day. The following Saturday Mr. Gupta met the girl at the restaurant. He comes to know her only brother Frank is in the army and he is in India. She lives with her mother. The girl, Maggie, had heard many stories about India and that is why she took an interest in Mr. Gupta.

She then takes Gupta to her house to meet her mother who believed that being a Hindu Mr. Gupta could see her son in the crystal ring that he had sent her from India. Although he could see nothing in the crystal he pretended he could see and said her son was fine in India. He said that because Maggie had told her that her mother was very sick and if she hears any bad news about her son it might affect her health further. Actually the son had died in a battle in India. But Gupta told the lie because of the illness of the mother and he was asked to say like that by Maggie. We also see Mr. Gupta placing flowers at the grave of Frank when he returned to India, as he had promised. Thus we see Gupta to be a friendly character ready to adjust with the need of others.

Question 22.
You are the reporter of a leading news channel and was assigned to report a live TV. programme “Turtle – Calling Ritual” in Namuana Village. Prepare a live T.V report.
Answer:
I am reporting from the village of Namuana, on the island of Kadavu in Fiji. All the maidens of the village have assembled near the shore. They make a strange chant. As they chant I can see giant turtles rising one by one on the surface listening to the music. The strange thing is that if any member of the nearby village of Nabukelevu is present, then the turtles will not rise to the surface or the bay and the turtle calling has to be abandoned. There is a reason for that. This ritual is known as “calling turtles from the sea”.

This ritual is based on a legend. Many years ago, in the beautiful village of Namuana, on the Island of Kadavu, there lived a beautiful princess named Tinaicoboga. She was the wife of the chief of Namuana. She had a charming daughter named Raudalice. The two women often went fishing on the reefs around their home. Once they went farther than usual. A group of fishermen from the nearby village of Nabukelevu came and caught the two women. They tied their hands and feet and threw them into their canoe. The women begged for their release. But the cruel fishermen did not pay any attention to their pleas.

But the sea gods were kind. They sent a storm and the canoe was tossed about by the waves. The men then saw the two women had turned into turtles. To save their lives, the men threw the turtles into the sea. Immediately the weather changed and there were no more waves. The two women who became turtles lived on in the water of the bay. It is their descendants who rise from water when they hear the chant of the women.

You may not believe the truth of the legend. But the Fijians believe it.

Question 24.
Having read the story ‘Conceptual Fruit’, you feel interested in the cause of differently abled children and decide to highlight their problem. Write a letter to the editor of a prominent daily commenting on the plight and needs of such children.
Answer:
The Editor
Indian Express
Kochi

Dear Sir,

Problems of the Differently-Abled Children

I was prompted to write this letter after having read the story “Conceptual Fruit” by Thaisa Frank. Greta is a differently-abled girl. As we all know differently- abled children are not able to enjoy the charms and pleasures of a normal life because of their physical or mental handicaps. In such cases technology can play a big role. Greta wants to have a house of her own. She wants a blue bowl in every room. She wants peaches in the kitchen and in the living room and all the bedrooms. She wants a kitchen, a dining room, a living room and a bedroom for the cat because she loves cats very much. Greta’s mother and brother are not affectionate or considerate to her and they think she is crazy and laugh at her. But her father is very sympathetic. He makes Greta happy by giving her what she wants on the cyberspace.

People should be made aware of the problems of different-abled people and they should be encouraged to do all they can to help them. Governments should be more sympathetic and should provide special places for the entertainment of differently-abled children. In the public parks and libraries there should be provision for the differently-abled people.

He says that the world around you tells you to be like others. At home your parents will tell you to be like the children of your neighbours. At school, the teacher will tell you to be like one of the first 5 rank holders in the school. All the people will tell you to be somebody else. But Kalam tells you to be YOU. You should not try to be someone else. You should not be a copycat. Vie says, “Be you, and thus you can be unique”. I think this is a wonderful idea. This will release everyone from his/her inferiority complex. It is when you compare yourself with others, you feel inferior. Kalam wants people to be confident, self-reliant and hardworking. He wants everyone to be believe that he/she was born with wings and so nobody needs to crawl because he/she can fly.

Question 26.
The young seagull made his first flight, thanks to his mother’s timely intervention. Have your parents ever made any such timely interventions in order to refill self confidence in you? Narrate one such incident in about 80 words.
Answer:
I remember how my parents refilled self-confidence in me when I was around six years old. I saw my elder brother and sister swimming in our pond. But I was afraid to get into the water beyond my waist. I tried to go beyond that many times but some kind of panic would grip me and I would not go deeper. My father knew I wanted to swim but I was afraid. He knew that I am very fond of ripe mangoes. One day he entered the pond with a ripe mango in his hand. He is a tall man. He stood neck deep in water and showed me the big ripe mango. He said I would get it only if I went to him. I was seriously tempted as my mouth was getting filled with water at the sight of the yellow mango. Ijumped into the water. I started walking towards him. Water reached my waist. But I went further looking at the mango. Soon water was up to my neck and I lost my balance. As I was struggling in the water my father extended his hand towards me. I took hold of his hand and swam towards him. He then trained me to swim. I soon lost my fear of drowning. Now I am a good swimmer.

Question 27.
William Wordsworth, in the poem ‘To Sleep’ glorifies sleep. He calls sleep as ‘a dear mother of fresh thoughts and joyous health’. Write a paragraph about your attitude to sleep in the light of the poem.
Answer:
Wordsworth is quite right in calling sleep “a dear mother of fresh thoughts and joyous health.” After a day of hard work, I also look forward to my sleep. Sleep brings benefits not only to the body but also to the mind. Our body gets tired after doing hard work and it needs rest. Sleep gives the body rest. The mind is also busy in so many things. As a student I have to read a lot, write a lot and memorise certain facts, figures and formulae. All this is hard work for the mind and it too gets tired. Rest is essential to the mind also. After sleep the mind becomes fresh and it is ready to think coolly and absorb more information. Sleep also brings you sweet dreams. I often dream about visiting foreign countries enjoying the sights, sounds and various foods available in those places. It is said that if a person does not sleep for three consecutive days he may even die. Sleep is essential for a healthy, happy life.

Answer any two questions from 29 to 31. Each carries 8 scores: (2 × 8 = 16)

Question 29.
“Life on earth is at the ever-increasing risk of being wiped out by disaster, such as sudden global nuclear war, a genetically engineered virus or other dangers we have not yet thought of.”
Stephen Hawking
Write an essay on the topic “Disaster and Disaster Management” in the light of the above statement.
Answer:

Disaster and Disaster Management

Stephen Hawking was quite right in saying that “Life on earth is at the ever-increasing risk of being wiped out by disaster, such as sudden global nuclear war, a genetically engineered virus or other dangers we have not yet thought of.” Disasters can’t be prevented but their impact can be reduced through proper disaster management. Science and technology can help us to manage disaster to a great extent. But as we know disasters can’t be often foreseen and prevented. So disasters do happen every now and then.

Many countries have nuclear stockpiles. China, France, Russia, the United Kingdom, the United States, India, North Korea, and Pakistan are nuclear powers. If a foolish ruler of any these countries decides to use nuclear weapons against its enemies, that will be disastrous to the world. Then there will be more Hiroshimas and Nagasakis. The weapons USA, Russia and the UK possess now are far more deadly than those used in Hiroshima and Nagasaki’.

Disasters can be natural and manmade. The Chernobyl disaster was a nuclear accident that occurred on 26 April 1986 near the city of Pripyat in the then USSR. It was a manmade one. It was considered the worst nuclear disaster in history causing death and destruction. It adversely affected most of Europe. In India there was the Bhopal Gas Tragedy. Nearly 4000 people died and thousands were badly affected by it. This was another manmade tragedy.

Then there are natural disasters like floods, landslides droughts, and earth-quakes. These are not predicable. But there must be ways to reduce the destruction and suffering caused by these disasters. Preparedness is very important. Kerala had severe floods and landslides in 2018 and 2019, causing such hardship to thousands of people.

There is a feeling that Covid – 19, which is still bothering us, is a manmade disaster. Many believe the corona virus that spreads this disease escaped from a laboratory in China. Covid has killed thousands and many more are in danger, as even now it is not eradicated. This is what Stephen Hawkings warned the world by saying there could be disasters caused by genetically engineered viruses.

Question 30.
Gandhian strategy – The exclusive mantra for solving problems of the modern society. Prepare a script of the speech to be delivered on Gandhi Jayanthi Day.
Answer:
Respected principal, teachers and my dear students,

Today we are celebrating the Gandhi Jayanthi Day and let us spend some time thinking about the ‘mantra’ Gandhiji gave the world to solve the problems of the modern society. Gandhiji was shot and killed on 30 January 1948 by the fanatic Nathuram Godse. But Gandhi’s teachings are still very much valid.

Gandhiji invented a new way to protest – Satyagraha. It means desire for truth. He advocated ahimsa or non-violence. He struggled for India’s freedom and helped us gain freedom from the British subjugation that lasted over 200 years. Gandhi also toiled to remove social evils that were rampant in the then Indian society. This included evils like child marriage, untouchability, and casteism.

Gandhiji lived a life of simplicity. He wanted to preach to his followers to keep things simple and not be attached to worldly pleasures. Despite being a world- renowned leader, he wore plain Khadi clothes that he spun at home on his charkha. Gandhiji was devoutly religious and respectful towards all religions. He believed in the equality of all and that everybody had a right to worship their own gods. For him “Iswar” and “Allah” were one.

He devoted his life towards spreading awareness about the importance of equality, peace, harmony and brotherhood. He always opposed untouchability and worked for Hindu-Muslim unity. He believed in eradicating all social evils, worked along with Kasturba to empower women, and fought for women’s rights. He was also concerned about farmers, and hence he tried to improve their economic condition. His principles and values still hold great value and people consider it to be the right path to follow and these ideas have been spread by many of his disciples, writers, and artists. Let us also follow his ideas and ideals to make our nation a great one.

Question 31.
Read the poem given below and write a note of appreciation.

His Journey’s Just Begun
– Ellen Brenneman

Don’t think of him as gone away
his journey’s just begun,
life holds so many facets
this earth is only one.

Just think of him as resting
from the sorrows and the tears
in a place of warmth and comfort
where there are no days and years.

Think how he must be wishing
that we could know today
how nothing but our sadness
can really pass away.
And think of him as living
in the hearts of those he touched….
for nothing loved is ever lost
and he was loved so much.
Answer:
“My Journey’s Just Begun” by Ellen Brenpeman is a short funeral poem. The dead man says that people should not think that he has gone away. His journey has only begun. Life has different phases and life on this earth is only one of them. He asks people to think of him as if he is resting from the sorrows and tears. Now he is in a place of warmth and comfort. He is in heaven. There are no days and years there.

Sitting in heaven, he wishes people happiness. He wants their sadness to go away. He wants them to think as if he is living in the hearts of those who loved him. Some things you really love are never lost as their memories will linger in your heart. From the sorrows expressed by the living, he knows he was loved so much when he was alive on this earth.

The poem makes a fine funeral reading about finding peace in the afterlife and saying goodbye to the loved ones. The dead man is happy to be in heaven and he is praying for those who are on the earth. He feels happy that he was also loved when he was alive. The poem tells us a great truth in simple words by saying “nothing loved is ever lost”. The poem has 4 stanzas. It is in simple language, but the ideas are profound. It is in rhyme and the rhyming scheme is abcb. It is a beautiful poem that gives us some fine thoughts.
