Question
Read the following note from a school girl’s diary:
|
Miss Fernandes is our new class teacher. She is slim and fit even at the age of 50. With her grey hair, spectacles, and plain formal clothes, she looks so strict! But we discovered that her classes can be great fun. We begin each class with a simple two-minute game or activity. Today we had to write as many words beginning with 'a' as we could, within 60 seconds. I wrote 50! I got a pot on my back for making 'the best effort'! I feel on top of the world. |

Solution
- 26th Nov.: Today we had our Elocution Competition. I was one of the three chosen from our class, and I knew that I had to do my best to win the prize. I knew that Miss Neena as well as my friends expected this. I was so nervous when it was my turn to go up on the stage and say my poem! I was sure I would forget or go wrong. Then I took a deep breath, looked straight ahead, and recited the poem. I knew I had done well when I heard the claps. And the best part is—our class won the prize! This was really a super day for me!
- 11th Dec.: Today was our Annual Day, and I had been given an important duty—reading the school report. Of course, I shared it with Alka, and she was as nervous as I was. I knew Mummy and Daddy would be in the auditorium, and I wanted to do my best for them. When the time came, Miss Neena, our class teacher, pushed us onto the stage. "All the best," she said and left us to stare at nearly five hundred people. I began with a wobble in my voice, but soon both Alka and I gained confidence. After we finished, there was big applause, and Miss Neena patted us on the back. What a wonderful experience it was!
- 16th Dec.: Dear Diary, Today something very funny happened. A crow entered our classroom during Maths. period. Miss Arnita was solving a sum on the board and the crow sat behind her on the table and cawed loudly. She was so startled that she dropped the chalk onto the floor! Then she turned around and saw the big crow and she nearly jumped with shock. She shooed him away, and he flew off. He came back again twice and did the same thing. We all had a hearty laugh. We told Miss that the crow wanted to learn math too.
