उत्तर
- My school is the best location in my life. I like my school because the teachers are friendly to me. My school plans monthly entertainment events. I have a lot of pals at school. My school has all the necessary sports, studies, and other activities facilities. These sports not only help us stay active, but they also improve our stamina and coordination. My school has a large playground, where I play with my friends. I appreciate all of my teachers. They are friendly and polite when fixing our errors. They have never been hard on us. So, we have always tried to study and write our tests successfully. Our institution is attempting to take a different approach to encouraging studies on children. Students at our school are never required to study to get through. My school tries to create summer camps where we can all go together. Summer camps are also organized based on student requests. My school is the only one that is nice to visit over the summer holidays. It's also important to realize that not everyone has the opportunity to receive an education. If given this opportunity, be grateful and active to improve yourself.
- I always look forward to spending my days at school. I enjoy attending school because it allows me to meet new people, engage with teachers, and learn new things. Being at school, it seems like friends and relatives always accompany me. In addition, it functions like a family, providing me with education and other essential abilities. It's a place where I can learn, laugh, smile, play, and enjoy. It elicited strong emotions in me for positive reasons, and I will be forever thankful to my school and outstanding professors. My school is also a beautiful location where I can develop my personality and increase my intelligence through education. Apart from academics and tests, my school improves my music, athletics, and general knowledge education. I was taught all life skills, such as being calm in stressful situations and assisting others.
- I dislike it when every teacher assigns homework, projects, and tests, and you spend the entire day working on them due to deadlines. I am unwilling to get up so early; it has often been encouraged that the school day starts later, particularly for teenagers. In school, a restriction of independence frequently leads to feelings of loneliness.
- Teachers used to take tests every Monday, and I think tests should be conducted four times a month. Because of examinations, we face less difficulty studying. And we used to pass the exams with good marks.

A1. Choose two sentences that appropriately mention the theme of the passage :
(1) The extract deals with the writer’s concern over Chaitanya's handicap.
(2) The extract depicts the writer’s proud feelings towards her son’s achievement.
(3) The extract deals with how Chaitanya made the writer see positively towards life.
(4) The extract deals with how the writer helps Chaitanya to buy the bus ticket.
Early in 1997-98, when he returned from state-level inter-school sports, he had two prizes to his credit and a silver medal. He had won his laurels in athletic events and the silver medal in a running race.
When I saw the prizes and read the citation Chaitanya had received, I was stupefied, in total disbelief, then–hugged him, kissed him and cried unabashedly to my heart’s content. That day, I cried for the first time out of joy and a sense of being vindicated. Without practice, he had competed with approximately 1,800 children drawn from various schools all over the state. He was subsequently selected for the marathon race, but he could not participate due to a health problem. “Maybe next year, he would”, I assured myself. And I, as his proud mother, would proudly chronicle his future achievements and success to inspire other - mothers of the world.
Looking back at my own life, I feel that it is the spirit with which we can accept our life gracefully is what
matters ultimately; and it is love that nourishes us. All other things are unimportant. Chaitanya has made me look inwards. His handicap doesn’t disturb me any longer. He and I shall live with it and still be happy. The mental strength which he has given to me is inexhaustible.
One day, as both of us got onto a public transport bus, Chaitanya offered to buy the tickets for us.
“One full, one half ”, he said to the conductor beaming with joy.
Looking at him, I wondered whether he was really only a half? An incomplete person? Was I really full?
Complete in all respects? Why do then normal people feel that they are ‘full’ and others like Chaitanya are ‘half’ or incomplete? Chaitanya’s world is complete in itself, pure and innocent while our lives are full of deceit, jealousies, ill-feelings.
