Even within the four walls of a house we are living like guests. The child gets up the morning and after beeing ready goes to school. Father at that time is in bed. When the boy returns from school, the father is out for office. At night when father returns from office, the boy had already gone to sleep.<\/span><\/p>\n

We are travelling through fast rather fastest modes of convenience. There are fast cars on the road, the trains are running in superfast speed and the aeroplanes are flying with supersonic speed.<\/span><\/p>\n

We are wasting our valuable time sitting before a T. V. Screen for longer time. Some of the programmes are not worth viewing. The provide cheap entertainment but we get glued to the T. V. Screen for nothing.<\/span><\/p>\n

Due to fast life style more and more people are falling sick mentally and physically. The incidence different types of incurable diseases are increasing day by day and the man is becoming helpless become thir own creations.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is most painful and unsatisfying as we are getting away from nature and natural environment.<\/span><\/p>\n

Ans .<\/span><\/b> The writer enjoys driving car at ninety miles an hour. To dine in London and lunch in New York next day is a satisfying experience for him. But the writer alos admits that such fast driving excludes all the red pleasure of travel. It is most exciting to travel in a country bus in Somerset or Spain.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Q. 4. In which situation , the writer finds himself in the cinema ?<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Ans .<\/span><\/b> The writer says that when he goes to see a picture. He finds himself confused because he is unable to establish the identity of a character. The change of scene and action in th picture is fast and he fails to associate himself with the changing scene and situation.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Ans .<\/span><\/b> He feels that most of the follow viewers in the cinema think fast enough to keep up comfortably with rapid changes of scene and action. Whereas he fails that his mind does not wook in high gear in such situation.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

C. 1. Long Answer Questions :<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Q. 1. Write a few sentences about the elderly Corn merchant.<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Ans .<\/span><\/b> The writer describes the Com- merchant like this :<\/span><\/p>\n

1. He was a man of many anexietis.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. His heart was dicky .<\/span><\/p>\n

3. His nephew used to cheat him and his wife had the habit of spending ten dollars on a holiday.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. It was very- very difficult for him to keep pace of life.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Q. 2. \u201cThey tell me there is an aeroplane now that goes at 1,000 miles an hour. Now that \u2018s too fast.\u201d What light does the remark of the Corn- merchant throw on the pacy life today.<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Ans .<\/span><\/b> The Com- merchant was unable to keep pace with the fast growing pacy life. He could not imagine of the fast pace of an aeroplane flying at the speed of 1,000 miles an hour. That was too much for him .<\/span><\/p>\n

The writer says that this illustration gives an insight into the approach of am lrish. Who is living in the present but thinks of the past.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Similarly we have fast means of communication the mobile, the fax, the internet and telephone services through satellite can connect us with any part of the world in seconds.<\/span><\/p>\n

These facilities were not available to our ancestors. We have to follow the pace of the machines today.<\/span><\/p>\n

I feel this is an advantage of the modern age. Man today cannot do without this.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Q. 4. Who are taken to be slow thinkers ? How are the slow thinkers handicapped today ?<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Ans .<\/span><\/b> The writer puts a sarcastic remarks by saying that he belongs to the tribe of slow thinkers. He says that he will get the lowest marks in an intelligent test because such tests today measure the speed of mind than anything else. That is why the slow thinkers like me [the writer} are deprived of good living.<\/span><\/p>\n

The writer further says that the use of mind or rather speed of mind is required more in the field of entertainment today. He cites the example of a cinema where the scene and action changes rapidly and the viewer is required to keep pace with the changing sence on the screen.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hence the slow thinkers today are handicapped.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Q. 5. What enlightenment does the writer seek from his wife. How does it suggest about the plight of the modern man. ?<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Who is Who amongst the heroines and who is the actural hero amongst the male characters ? There the writer is supposed to get help from his wife, sitting next to him. Here one is supposed to think in best gear to keep pace with the changing scene and action. If one does not think fast now plight of the modem man.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The old technology becomes obsolate and a new technology takes over. Man has to keep pace with the changing world of today otherwise he will be left behind in the race and will have to repent for the loss after some time. The new generation will feel the pinch.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Q. 7. Why is yoga so popular in America ? Give two reasons.<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Ans .<\/span><\/b> 1. Yoga tunes mind with body. It ensures rhythmes functioning of body with pinctuning of mind.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Due to very fast live of the Americans and their materialistic attitude towards life they are suffering from mental fatigue, depression and accumulating so many other problems which gives rise to so many health problems.<\/span><\/p>\n

Yoga streamlines their life and so they are adopting yoga to solve these problems which medicine has not been able to cure.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

C. 2. Group Discussion :<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Discuss the following in groups or pairs :<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

1. The life has become two pacy today.<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

2. The fast life of the Western society is compelling the westerners to turn to India.<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Points for Discussion :<\/span><\/span><\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

1. The life is becoming pacy today and the pace is increasing day by day.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. The pace has given rise to competition in all walks of life.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. The coming new technology is adding to the pace. The thinking brain i.e., computer, the supersonic jet, the satellite and the modern communication system, the best running vehicle on the road, the modern media are all adding to the pace.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. The world moves on tips of fingers and the world is connected. One can gather the information from any corner of the world.<\/span><\/p>\n

But this piece is also adding agony to the society. There is a competition in the world to become super power which is giving rise to war threats.<\/span><\/p>\n

What the man needs is more peace, more happiness of mind and a healthy body. We have faish in welfare and happiness to all enmity to none. So the westerners are looking towards India for a better world and a peaceful society.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

(V) I saw him the swimming god, moving swifty across the deep and fast current. Here swimming is an apposition to pronoun \u2018him\u2019. It is obvious that swimming is used as a subject to an object, a compliment, an object to a preposition and an apposition to a pronoun.<\/span><\/p>\n

The verb ending\u2019 ing\u2019 [here swimming] which functions as a noun is called \u2018 gerund\u2019 or verbal noun. It can be used as a subject to a verb , an object to a verb, a compliment and a noun in apposition.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dublin, Batterh sea, London, Somerset, Harish, John Stuart, Bed Fort., Taj Mahal. High street, Spain.<\/span><\/p>\n

These words are the names of places. Persons or objects. They are known as proper nouns. The first better of a proper noun is always capital. Now correct the following sentences using capital letters where necessary :<\/span><\/p>\n

(d) \u2018we saw\u2019 in (a) is changed into \u2018we had seen\u2019 in (b)<\/span><\/p>\n

wecan, therefore, infer the following rules for changing direct speech into indirect one.:<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

1. If the reporting clause ( clause which is not within inverted comman i.e., \u201cI said\u201d in the sentence (a) above is in the past tense, the tense of the Reported speech (clause which is within inverted comma, i.e., \u201d Is this the same girl as the one we saw at the beginning ?\u201d<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

(f) He said to me, \u201cI was playing. (Past Continuous)<\/span><\/p>\n

= He said to\/told me that he had been playing. (Past perfect Continuous)<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

2. The person of the pronoun used in Reported Speech is changed as follows :<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

= He said to me that he had seen a tiger. (\u201d I\u201d changes into \u201d he\u201d because the subject of reporting clause is \u201che\u201d)<\/span><\/p>\n
