Leena was on her annual visit to her uncle's house. She always enjoyed it because she was allowed to spend most of the day down at the mango grove. Leena's uncle was a friend of the man who owned the grove and he always gave a special rate. This year Leena's aunt joined her, and together they set off across the fields to the grove. The branches of the trees were covered with fruits, and so bowed down with the weight that they almost touched the ground. They spent hours picking fruit, eating most of it and sleeping in the shade.

Dispute 
A man and a tiger once had a dispute, 
Which was reckoned greater, the man or the brute. 
The tiger discoursed on his side at some length, 
And greatly enlarged on his courage and strength, 
Said the man, 'Don't be prating; look yonder, I pray, 
At that sculpture of marble: now what will you say? 
The tiger is vanquished; but as for the man, 
He is striding upon him: deny if you can.' 
'But pray,' said the tiger, 'Who sculptured that stone? 
'One of us,' said the man. 'I must candidly own.' 
'But when we are sculptors,' the other replied, 
'You will then on the man see the tiger astride.'

Ravi has a problem, so he asks his friends for advice. Read the conversation below and underline the expressions that are used for giving advice. (This could be done as role-play) 

Ravi : My neighbours play very loud music, which disturbs me when I'm studying. 
Mohan: Why don't you try persuading them to turn down the volume? 
Shiela: If that doesn't work you could think of changing your study time. 
Rahim: Why should Ravi have to do that? He really ought to report such antisocial behaviour to the police. 
Shiela: Before taking drastic action like that, I would advise you to sort it out amicably with your neighbours. 
Rahim: If l were you, I would play my music even louder! 
Mohan: That won't solve his problem. Ravi, I think you should ask your father to take it up with your neighours. 


You are on the editorial board for the column ‘Your Problems’ in The Teenager magazine. You have received these two letters asking for your advice. (They appear to have come from the same family)

Dear Helpful Avanti 

My fifteen year old son is crazy about film music. He seems to be wasting all his pocla:t money on these meaningless CDs. He cannot even study without this noise. Though he is good at studies, I remain disturbed about this new obsession. There are all kinds of strange-looking posters on the walls of his study and he always wears those gaudy T-shirts and faded patched jeans. Also, he is very fond of Junk-food. I fear he is breaking all links with our culture. 
What shall I do ? 
A bewildered father 

Dear Helpful Avanti 

I love film music and I have bought a lot of CDs from my pocket-money allowance. But whenever I switch on my CD-player, my father frowns and orders me to switch off the 'jarring noise'. He calls it 'cheap' and 'uncivilised' stuff. It is not that I do not like classical music, but when I am with my friends, we listen to film music. 

I like Indian clothes and food. But, I also like to wear western clothes and eat continental food occasionally. I do not like to disobey my parents, but I do not want to give up my music and other interests. 
What shall I do? 
A Hurt Son

In pairs, decide what advice to give to each of them. Then write one letter each, so that both father and son get a reply from The Teenager. Remember to use some of the language in Question 5. 


Grandmaster Koneru Humpy is visiting your school and you, as the Sports Captain, have to introduce her in the school assembly. With the help of Question 2, write out the Bio-sketch.
