1. Read the following passage and make notes in the appropriate formal. (15)
'The perpetual cycle of change which has created the face of the Earth, with all its rugged and
Fascinating variety usually happens too slowly to be noticed. But occasionally it is rapid and
Violent. Volcanoes disgorge molten lava, earthquakes rip open the landscape, landslides, carry away
Whole mountainsides. Then human beings become aware of the awesome forces that are shaping
Their planet. These forces are fuelled by three powerful sources of energy - heat from within the Earth, heat from the Sun, and the force of gravity. Every landform in the world has been shaped by these ttu.ee energy sources. 'the continents that drift across the surface of the globe, setting off volcanoes and earthquakes and Building mountains. are driven by heat from the Earth's interior which has a temperature of about 5000"C (9000'F).

Most of this heat is created by the breakdown of radioactive elements. Earth is unique among the planets of the Solar System in having liquid water on the surface and water has a major role in shaping the planet. The warmth of the Sun evaporates water from seas and lakes. The vapor rises and condenses to form clouds and then falls again as rain and snow. It is then that its landscaping powers begin, weathering rocks and washing away the loose material. or grinding down the landscape under the power of a glacier. The Sun's heat also produces the rain and the waves that scour the land.

The third force - gravity - causes the tides, which nibble away at the edges of continents, and landslides. which alter the shape of mountains. Under the influence of gravity. rain works its way downwards as streams and rivers, carving the terrain. On its journey, it carries fragments of rock and sand to be deposited on the ocean floor. And over thousands of years more rock which may then be buckled and lifted up by movement of the Earth's crust to form new mountains. {source:

Solution:
Wonders of planet earth

Point of discussion

• Wonders of planet earth which not seen by human beings • Bcoz of volcanoes humans became aware of the things beneath the planet. • How volcano and earthquks came into existence.

Sources of energy for earth

• There are three sources of energy • Heat from sun, heat widin the earth and force of gravity • These sources leads to volcanoes and earthquks

How it all works

• Heat widin the earth throws out lava when overheated • Heat from sun evaporates water and leads to rain fall which plays imp role in shaping the planet. • Gravity causes the tides which nibble away at the edges of the continents which alter the shape o f mountain.

|KEYS |
|Bcoz= because |
|Earthquks= earthquakes |
|Widin= within |
|Imp= important |

2. Write a summary of the passage given above and suggest an appropriate title. (15)

Solution:
Wonders of planet earth

In the above passage the author is talking about the wonders of earth which are not known to the people and are now coming in the eyes of people slowly. He is talking about the powers of the earth which are within it and are coming out through sources like volcanoes. Volcano has a huge amount of heat which it throws out when overheated.
Our planet has three sources of heat energy they can be heat from within the earth, heat from sun and force of gravity. These three sources of energy play a vital role in forming the volcanoes and earth quakes. These sources generate as many as heat as 5000 degree C which is equal to 9000 degree F. most of the heat is created by breakdown of radioactive elements.
He also explains how the water cycle on earth works. Water on earth gets evaporated and goes to sun which forms the clouds in sky and at a time it comes back in the form of rain or snow fall. Thus here also heat energy works for the supply of rain.
The third source of energy also plays a vital role in framing earth’s natural beauties. Here gravity forms tides and allows flowing rain in the direction of streams n rivers which carries fragment of rocks and sand to be deposited on the ocean floor and over thousands of years more rock which may
Then be buckled and lifted up by movement of the Earth's crust to form new mountains.

3. Write a paragraph of 100-150 words on any one of the following topics: (10)
1) Laughter is the best medicine.
2) Travel broadens the mind.
3) Learning a new language.
4) Mobile phone: curse or blessing?

Solution:
Mobile phone:curse or blessing?

Mobiles phones have become one of the best gifts that humanity has ever received in the twenty first century because of its numerous benefits. It is a fact that having a mobile phone nowadays is a sort of a necessity and it is an inevitable truth that the mobile industry is taking everyone by storm. A mobile phone is a device with so many advantages contributing convenient living for both the old and young generations but, is everything about the mobile phone a blessing? Recently, a division of the World Health Organization classified cell phones as a "possible carcinogen." This means that though no definite link has been established between cell phone use and some form of cancer, there's enough evidence that the group believes more research is needed. But the report stated clearly that cell or mobile phones radiation might cause cancer to the human brain. The WHO's International Agency for Research on Cancer has now tied mobile phone radiation to an increased risk for “glioma brain tumors”.

4. Write a composition of 250-300 words based on any one of the pictures given below: (20)

Solution:

OUR PLANET...
The most accurate world map is a globe. Like the planet Earth, a globe is shaped as a ball. When you look at a globe you can truly see the way the world looks in all of its complexity. All the countries are shown in true size relative to each other. You can see how far apart different cities are, and you can learn what time it is in another part of the world.
Why are globes so much more accurate than flat maps of the world? If you peeled the paper off a globe and tried to lay it out on a table like a map, you'd have a hard time. The map would have all sorts of gaps in it. But that's essentially what cartographers have been trying to do for hundreds of years. On some flat maps, pieces of land near the North Pole look larger than they are in reality. For example, Antarctica stretches across the bottom of a flat map when it is really a circular continent. Of course, flat maps can be very useful; you cannot put a globe in your pocket while you are traveling. But if you want to "think globally," it is obvious that a globe is what you need.

Even thousands of years ago, people saw things happening around them everyday that couldn't be explained by the theory of a flat world. If the world was flat, why did the sun always come up every morning in the east and go down every evening in the west? And why did the stars move in a circle in the night sky? These movements in the sky didn't prove that the world wasn't flat. But they gave clues about the real shape of the earth. More people in the ancient world came to believe that the world was a sphere.

5. You are a member of a committee formed to develop parks in your city. Write a report in
250 words of a meeting held to discuss this project. (20)

Solution:

Development of parks
Sahil menon, member of committee
24th January 2013
Today on 24th Jan all the committee members had a meeting regarding the development of parks in our society and nearby area. We all the members have decided to develop all the parks so that people in the society do not suffer any problem and can safely use these parks as per their need.
Today in the city there are hardly any parks which are safe for people and are need badly need of improvisation. Old age people who are some sort of patient who are in need of walking n regular jogging for their good health thus they need a safe place where they can easily n freely have their walk. Girls n women who are jogging early morning also demand a place where they are safe free to walk n jog as per their requirement. According to the present condition girls do not feel safe to go out at evening time because of the issues of rape in Delhi. People in the locality demand for safer place for a stress free walk n jog according to their schedule.
We can help them developing park areas like creating a good greenery environment a good walking path, keeping a security guard at the gate. And asking him not let unknown person in and to keep an eye on everyone. If possible cameras must be lodged at places where chances are more for any misbehavior.
We have discussed all this point and believe some action to be taken soon.
