उत्तर
One of the things I enjoy the most is spending time in nature. Whether it’s a quiet morning walk through a forest, hiking up a mountain trail, or simply sitting by a lake, I find great joy in being surrounded by the natural world. The sound of birds chirping, the rustling of leaves in the wind, and the calming flow of a stream all bring me a sense of peace and tranquility. I feel that nature has a unique way of grounding me, reminding me of the beauty and simplicity of life.
Photography is another passion of mine, and nature provides the perfect canvas for this. I enjoy capturing the vibrant colors of a sunrise, the intricate details of a flower, or the majesty of a sprawling landscape. These photos not only help me relive those moments but also allow me to share the beauty of the world with others.
Another reason I enjoy nature so much is because it gives me time to reflect. In today’s fast-paced world, it’s easy to get caught up in the hustle and forget to take a moment for yourself. Being outdoors helps me clear my mind and focus on what truly matters.
Lastly, I love how nature inspires creativity. Whether I’m writing, drawing, or simply brainstorming ideas, being in a natural setting always sparks my imagination. For me, nature isn’t just a place to visit; it’s a source of endless inspiration and a vital part of my life.

Thinking about the Poem
How does the poet suggest that all people on earth are the same?
Exceeding peace had made Ben Adhem bold,
And to the presence in the room he said,
"What writest thou?"..... The vision raised its head,
And with a look made of all sweet accord,
Answered, "The names of those who love the Lord."
Read the lines given above and answer the following question.
What did the angel tell Abou bin Adhem?
Easton, with a little laugh, as if amused, was about to speak again when the other forestalled him. The glum-faced man had been watching the girl’s countenance with veiled glances from his keen, shrewd eyes.
“You’ll excuse me for speaking, miss, but, I see you’re acquainted with the marshall here. If you’ll ask him to speak a word for me when we get to the pen he’ll do it, and it’ll make things easier for me there. He’s taking me to Leavenworth prison. It’s seven years for counterfeiting.”
“Oh!” said the girl, with a deep breath and returning color. “So that is what you are doing out here? A marshal!”
“My dear Miss Fairchild,” said Easton, calmly, “I had to do something. Money has a way of taking wings unto itself, and you know it takes money to keep step with our crowd in Washington. I saw this opening in the West, and—well, a marshalship isn’t quite as high a position as that of ambassador, but—”

She lighted another match, and then she found herself sitting under a beautiful Christmas-tree. It was larger and more beautifully decorated than the one which she had seen through the glass door at the rich merchant’s. Thousands of tapers were burning upon the green branches, and colored pictures, like those she had seen in the show- windows, looked down upon it all. The little one stretched out her hand towards them, and the match went out.
The Christmas lights rose higher and higher, till they looked to her like the stars in the sky. Then she saw a star fall, leaving behind it a bright streak of fire. “Someone is dying,” thought the little girl, for her old grandmother, the only one who had ever loved her, and who was now dead, had told her that when a star falls, a soul was going up to God.

As it turned out, Luz broke his own past record. In doing so, he pushed me on to a peak performance. I remember that at the instant I landed from my final jump—the one which set the Olympic record of 26 feet 5-5/16 inches—he was at my side, congratulating me. Despite the fact that Hitler glared at us from the stands not a hundred yards away, Luz shook my hand hard—and it wasn’t a fake “smile with a broken heart” sort of grip, either.
You can melt down all the gold medals and cups I have, and they couldn’t be a plating on the 24-carat friendship I felt for Luz Long at that moment. I realized then, too, that Luz was the epitome of what Pierre de Coubertin, founder of the modern Olympic Games, must have had in mind when he said, “The important thing in the Olympic Games is not winning but taking part. The essential thing in life is not conquering but fighting well.”
