The judge then replied: ‘The same way, simple comments may destroy the honour of a man to such an extent that he may not be able to get it back.

St. George’s Higher Secondary School, Edappally Social Club 15 September 2025 NOTICE One of the biggest problems the teenagers face today is their addiction to smoking. Beedi and cigarette manufactures tempt the young people to smoke with their glossy advertisements which show successful heroes and sportsmen smoking. Youngsters who are naturally fond of copying the ways of their heroes start smoking to see how pleasurable it is. Soon they get addicted and to find money to buy cigarettes and other things, they start stealing and doing all sorts of criminal activities. To prevent our youngsters from falling into this dangerous situation, the Social Club of this School is organizing an Awareness Campaign to let the youngsters know the dangers of smoking. The Campaign starts with a meeting presided by the President of our Parents-Teachers’Association. The Circle Inspector of Police, Edappally, will also speak on the occasion. Venue: School Auditorium All are invited. Sd/ |

Question 5.
Conversation
One day Ibrahim’s friend Balan visited Ibrahim at home. Ibrahim was greatly impressed by the academic achievement of Balan, who is on top of the class. He wants to know how Balan manages to do that.
Write the conversation between Ibrahim and Balan.
Ibrahim: Congrats Balan! You have again done it. How do you manage to get to the topmost rank every time? ‘
Balan ………………………..
Ibrahim …………………………..
Balan ……………………………….
Answer:
Ibrahim : Congrats Balan! You have again done it. How do you manage to get to the topmost rank every time?
Balan : Thank you, Ibrahim, for your good words. I don’t think I do anything special to get to the top of the class. I attend the classes regularly and when I go home I revise the lessons and read extra material related to the day’s lessons. This way I improve my understanding.
Ibrahim : Do you have any fixed time-table for your studies?
Balan : Yes, I do. Unless we have fixed time-tables we tend to become lazy and postpone things for tomorrow. Haven’t you heard the saying “Tomorrow never comes?” Never wait for the last moment to study. Many students spend sleepless nights just before the exams begin. The result is that they are confused in the exam hall and can’t answer the questions properly and they fail.
