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

 <\/span><\/o:p><\/p>\n

Q.1. \u2018 Nobody is willing to do anything about ecology\u2019. Do you agree with the statement.<\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Ans .<\/span><\/b> <\/span>Yes, I feel we are left with no choice but to agree with the statement of the narrator at the end of the article entitled \u2018 Me and the Ecology Bit\u2019. The narrator tried his best to convince people to do something on their part for the sake of ecology but instead of agreeing to the suggestion everyone started accusing the writer by finding faults in his own approach towards maintaining ecological balance. If we generalize this statement in the context of the world scan ario of today the situation is found to be almost the same.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/o:p><\/p>\n

Q.2. \u201d But any how on Saturday when I collect, I put in a word on ecology.\u201d This is the narrator\u2019s way of preserving ecology. How are you contributing to ecolgical preservation in your sorrounding ?<\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Ans .<\/span><\/b> <\/span>This is the common way of doing social work in modern society. Everybody preaches others to follow the rule but when it comes to himself he flouts the rule.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

We try to keep our area neat and elean, throw the garbage at the proper place and do community plantation of trees in the area to preserve the ecological balance.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/o:p><\/p>\n

Q.3. \u2018 I get tired of trying to get Mrs. Green to do something about ecology. Explain in detail the meeting between Jim and Mrs. Greene and throw light on the outcome of the meeting.<\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Ans .<\/span><\/b> <\/span>The diologue between Jim and Mrs. Green seems to be quite interesting. When Jim reached her house she was putting her garbage bag for weekly pick up on Monday. She is usually goes out on weekends and so she keeps the garbage in a beg plastic bag and keeps that bag in her garden for further management by the writer.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

She asks Jim to pick up gum wrapper which she says was thrown by Jim. She says \u2014\u2019 Has he not been taught not to bitter. And then again she complains about Jim\u2019s dog who is responsible for digging up his garden and putting her yard in a mess. She says the dogs are to kept in chains.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

Then the third episode between Mrs. Greene and Jim related to the management of old newspapers. She was advised by Jim to save those papers to be picked up the school. She was also told to keep aluminium cans.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

The meeting results in a fiascos and the effort of Jim failed.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/o:p><\/p>\n

Q.4. \u2018 Sure it is hard to get people to work for ecology\u2019. Do you agree with this statement? What is Ecology? What measures have you and your school taken to preserve it ?<\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Ans .<\/span><\/b> <\/span>Ecology is the science for the preservation of natural atmosphere and environment so that the life of living being on earth is not endangered. As it goes the people have started appreciating the problem being faced by the modern world but nobody is coming out to work for it seriously hence the situation has not improved.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/o:p><\/p>\n

Q.5. \u201d When use too many electric things\u201d. What prompts the narrator to say so? How does the use of modern appliances affect ecology ?<\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Ans .<\/span><\/b> <\/span>In modern kitchens in the house there are so many electric appliance to facilitate cooking. The cooking methods have undergone a change from the traditional way making it necessary to use modern appliances like electric women, mixer. Juicer, Grinder, Toaster , Exhaust Fans, Refrigerator, Cooker etc. These appliances used electricity to run. This results in more consumption of electricity which is short in supply because the production is less. This causes pressure on production. We need more coal for production of thermal power or more water for Hydro power. Both coal Hydro power generation effects our ecological balance in turns of pollution of atmosphere. So the narrator advised his mother to use hand driven egg beater instead of electric mixer.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/o:p><\/p>\n

Q.6. Do you think that Jim is a real ecology friendly boy ? Give your own opinion.<\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Ans .<\/span><\/b> <\/span>Jim is more a preacher who gives sermon to others to work for the preservation of ecology. But when it comes to his own working, he has not shown any effective result. So it seems he is more perfect in theory then in practice.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/o:p><\/p>\n

Q.7. Does Jim understand why his advice is being questioned? Explain.<\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Ans .<\/span><\/b> <\/span>His advice regarding following the principal of ecological methods are ignored bacause people understand that Jim is not a true follower of what he says. So that people make a mockery of Jim . Perhaps be understands has position and that is why he is unable to insist on the subject.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/o:p><\/p>\n

Q.8. What happened to the tree referred to by Mr. Johnson ?<\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Ans .<\/span><\/b> <\/span>Actually the Referred to by Mr. Johnson was non existent. There was no tree there. At another place a little tree was coming up but was killed due to jumping over it everyday Alle \u2013 gedly by Jim.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

So the theory of tree and ecology as put by Jim to Jonson was proved wrong. It made another laughing stock for Jim.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/o:p><\/p>\n

Q.9. Is Jim awere of all the a spects and does he always practice ecology methods ? Why or why not ?<\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Ans .<\/span><\/b> <\/span>From the lesson it is apparent that Jim is very much aware of all the aspects of ecology but it seems that he does bring those methods to his own use. He gets defeat at all the places where he goes and at the end be admits that nobody listens to him.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

1. Prepare a speech in 100 wards to be delivered in the morning assembly of the school on \u2018 How students can become ecology friendly.<\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Ans .<\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/o:p><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Respected teacher, and my brothers and sisters present here in the assembly. Today I want to talk to you regarding a very important subject which is drawing atten of the people and nation of the world. The subject is related with ecology. You know as the world is mankind is increasing day by day.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

The greatest problem before the world today is that of increasing population . The number of boys and girls taking birth everyday is adding to population growth. Our lands are limited and the resources at our disposal are limited so man is required to put extra effort to feed the additional men and women. This is putting pressure son the resources that we have with us and this is creating a lot of problem including the problem of ecological imbalance. The tree are cut to create more cultivable land, the natural water resources are getting scarce and the air is getting polluted due to coming up of more factories etc.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

Friends since very beginning we have to be careful. As coming generation of the modern world, we the youth have to take care to guard ourselves against the vices of pollution. We have to be ecology friendly and persuade others too to act according to the demand of the environment and nature.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

Thanks you every much for listening to me with Patience. I will request you to give more thoughts on the subject and do something in this regard so that we are able to lead a good and healthy life.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

Patna, the 25th July<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

Dear Rakesh,<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

Hope this will find you in good health and cheerful. I wanted to inform you about the efforts our school outside the city area and there are cluster of village situated nearby. We have formed two ways for Ecological making green manure [ compost ] and use only the compost in their field instead of chemical fertilizers.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

The farmers of the village are very happy about this. Most of the farmers have now taken up to produce and use only compost in their fields. The yield has gone up and at the same time they are saving money in buying chemical fertilizers from the market. Moreover they are also being persuade to plant more and tree in and around their village. This will help to improve the atmosphere. They will also get furit, timbor from the trees and the dry leaves can be used in making compost.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

You can also think of doing something on this line. Please give me your thoughts in this regard. Hope to listen from you soon. With my best wishes,<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

E. Grammar: <\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Active voice and Passive Voice.<\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/o:p><\/p>\n

Ex.1. Read carefully the Sentences taken from the lesson.<\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/o:p><\/p>\n

He pays me and I tell him.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/o:p><\/p>\n

You see that the sentence given above consists of two clause : \u2018 He pays me\u2019 and \u2018 I tell him\u2019. In the first part, the subject is he \u2018 and \u2018he\u2019 is also the \u2018 doer\u2019 whereas \u2018me\u2019 is the receiver and so the object of this clause. In the second clause\u2014 \u2018I\u2019 is the \u2018 doer\u2019 as well as \u2018 subject\u2019 of the clause whereas \u2018 him\u2019 is the object and the receiver. Both these clauses, therefore , are in the Active voice. Their Passive equivalents are as follows :<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/o:p><\/p>\n

I am paid by him and he is told by me.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/o:p><\/p>\n

You see that in the passive equivalent the subject \u201d I \u201d and \u2018he\u2019, the subjects of the first and the second clause respectively are, in fact, the receivers, not the doers. Note carefully the changes that have taken place in the passive equivalent :<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/o:p><\/p>\n

1. The objects of the Active \u2014 \u2018me\u2019 And \u2018him\u2019\u2014 have become the subject of the passive.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/o:p><\/p>\n

2. The objects of the \u2018pays\u2019 and \u2018tell\u2019 have been changed into \u2018ampaid\u2019 and \u2018is told\u2019 respectively. The choice of \u2018 is\u2019, \u2018 am \u2018 or for that matter any aux. Verb depends on the person of the new subject ( which was the object in the active voice) and the tense of the verb phrase ( in the sentence).<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

3. Also note the case of the pronounchanges when their position changes; i.e. \u2018he\u2019 when used as subject and \u2018him\u2019 when used as object. Similarly, \u2018I\u2019 when used as subject and \u2018me\u2019 when used as object.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/o:p><\/p>\n

4. Aux. Verbs \u2018is\u2019 and \u2018am\u2019 have been inserted in the passive equivalent because an appropriate from of \u2018be\u2019 is used with the subject in the passive if the Active is in the simple present on it simple Past.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/o:p><\/p>\n

5. Whatever the tense, the verb in the passive voice is in the Past participle form (V3).<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/o:p><\/p>\n

6. Normally Preposition be is used before the agent in the passive voice.<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/o:p><\/p>\n

Ex.2. Change the following sentence in Active voice into the passive voice.<\/o:p><\/span><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/o:p><\/p>\n

1. The children ar playing the game:<\/o:p><\/span><\/p>\n
